Wow, you have an amazing city,
ACCURATEin!
Your town looks really nice. When/If the LEGO Star Wars license ends, I just might have to start collecting LEGO City sets.
So far, the only City set I have is the 2006 Ambulance (although I plan on buying the Winter Toy Shop).
I really like that hanging LEGO City sign - nice touch!
Your photos are really crisp, too!
I can't wait to see the next photos of your display!
Thank you! I wonder if Lego will ever stop releasing Star Wars kits. The walking AT-AT is what got me back into the Lego hobby...i thought it was the most intriguing model ever. I created an AT-AT back in 1996, took a picture of it in the snow, and sent it to Lego to be in the fan club magazine. When i found out Lego had a walking version, it was inevitable to buy it!!
I asked my store manager if I could have it, and he said "sure"!
This batch of photos is already outdated as there have been a few more details added to the city last night.
More pics to come soon!

Great pictures AI! I enjoy looking at these. Thanks for sharing (although your tracks look like they may wreck a train any time soon).
Thank you! haha. I should have taken a shot of the train wreck behind the row of modulars! And yes, the track does end and feeds out into a 3 foot drop haha. The ultimate plan is to build a bridge and have the train run around the entire room.

Hello!
Nice shots of a great layout! I like that plane hanging on the celiling!
Now the only thing yet missing is a harbour site.
Cheers,

Hello! Thank you! The plane hanging from the ceiling was the best idea in order to alleviate some space...they take up so much room! And speaking of planes, i've got a United Airlines DC-10 that i've been working on. It holds a special significance that I will share when I post it up!
I've actually got a small harbour site, but it's located on my desk beside me. If i can figure out a solution, the plan is to incorporate it into city.

Great city display, were you incorporate modular buildings with the creator houses.
But I'm not to fond of your octan truck the cabin looks a bit strange, maybe adding another pair of wheels make it better.

Thank you! I agree with the cabin looking a little strange. It hit me when I saw the first image of the new 6 wide Octan tanker that is about to be on the market next year...all of a sudden my version was inferior! haha

Amazing display indeed!
I specially like your residential area and the SWAT team
If I can make a suggestion I would have put more MFs (yep, even more...
) in it for making it more lively but of course that's just my opinion
Thank you! More minifigures throughout the city? A lot of them are hiding! In the next batch of photos i'll make it so they can be seen.

Fantastic work! I'm really loving the elevated train amongst this city. I'm enjoying watching the development and evolution. Keep it up mate.
Thank you! Last night I added some vertical poles on the track to mimic the electric poles that can be found on some light rail train tracks. It looks pretty good, i'll have to take a photo of it.

Nice work! I
the Chili's restaurant! You have a very nice setup and I like how you have incorporated multiple LEGO themes into your layout. I'm looking forward to seeing this setup grow.

Thank you! The Chili's restaurant turned out better than I originally expected. It's definitely a challenge to make the different styles and themes fit in one big display, but that's what makes it fun haha.

Jaw dropping! That is an excellent city, everything flows together so smoothly.
I must ask, where did you get the large LEGO City sign?
Thank you! I work for Lego and upon asking my store manager, he agreed to let me have it. He had told me to go throw it in the trash, but there was no way I was going to let that sign go to waste!!!

Shows that randomness can be pleasing to the eye sometimes
Weren't you planning on adding another bay to your Fire Brigade?
Thank you! Yes, that is the plan! Somehow I want to make 2 or 3 bays, but in order to do so the base will have to be widened. I'm not sure when i'll get around to modifying that!

Very nice city.
About the Chili restaurants; Here (the netherlands) I never seen them. We have mexican and argentinian restaurants, but not something like that.
Thank you! Chili's is one of my favorite restaurants, so I just had to build one! I might even go and eat there tonight!! hahaha

This is the best Lego City, I have ever seen! Schoolbus, chilis and family homes are very amazing designs. I think you can improve LCPD more.
Really?! Well thank you! I have seen much more detailed cities though..and i'm working to get to that level. I agree about the police department. With Lego construction in general, almost every model could always use atleast one or two improvements.
