Classic Town Building - Benny the 1980 space guy's house + car

Recommended Posts

This is Benny the 1980-something Space Guy's apartment. It features a garage on the lower floor for his Lego Classic Space - styled Car.

The style of the set is based off half of set 6390, a Classic Town set from 1980. (This set was re-released in 2003 under the short-lived Lego LEGENDS line as set 10041.)

Also, unlike most of my buildings, Benny's apartment does not open like a dollhouse, but features removable levels to accesses the inside, much like a modular building.

The numbers "60" should go on the stud next to the door, as provided by this piece: http://www.bricklink...sp?P=3070bpb003

The rear of the building is a solid brick wall. (now I'm thinking of that Pink Floyd song "Another Brick in The Wall")

The lower floor features Benny's Classic Space-themed car.

The upper floor features a layout with miniature buildings, a bed, side-table with lamp, computer, a micro-model of Benny's SPACESHIP! LEGO set and a 1980's telephone.

I was 8 at the time I first saw the 10041 re-release of this set in the LEGO catalogue. Unfortunately I never had the chance to buy one but I love it. I can't explain why I like it so much.

I instantly recognised your inspiration, I would definitely consider buying this if it was a real set.

Thanks, I wasn't much older than you in 2003 (I turned 9 that year) and I remember looking at this set and going "That's what i want for my Birthday!"... however, I forgot about the set by the time November rolled around.

By the way, you can build it now, if you want. All the bricks are available at BrickLink, by using LDD Manager to find what parts in what quantity from the LDD file. That's what I will (eventually) be doing with this building. (I already have the car!)

Sorry for the double post, but the pictures and LDD file have been updated. The building is no longer doll house-style wher it swings open, but more like a modular building with removable floors / roof.

Enjoy, and comments are welcome!
