I remeber you posting it last year, but could you tell us again how you get the stickers. :grin:

What from last year ?

My new tree design I only knocked up yesterday.

Now the stickers......well, first goggle images to get a lot of the detailing, MS Paint to do all the artwork and then print out on an inkjet printer on photo sticker paper......either matt or gloss (depending on what is needed......merchandise labels or building/street signs)

Still planing on more stuff.......keep watching ! :wink:

You should add a pharmacy! I think it would really help with the town feel.

Oh, I did have one once but........it moved around the corner where you can't see it. :laugh:

No, I might build one next year.......cash flow and space is a serious issue. :wink:

I'm having second thoughts on a few more buildings,,,,,,that chemist might be a go'er.......better keep watching everyone you never know what I have planned next. :wink:

I think a dark green might look good, a bunch of the older pharmacies (1940's) most have beutiful dark green and tan fascade.

Oh, them colours sound nice.......I do base my work on either real life examples or inspired by real life structures......though your suggested colours have got me thinking. :wink:

I'll start doing some planning today......keep watching ! :wink:

I live right across the street from it, I love the place it has a diner inside thats been there as long as the store, my father even ran deliverys for the pharmacy many years ago. I'll go get photos in a minute.

Oh, okay I wouldn't mind seeing those photos.......though my town is Aussie based not USA based but any bits of inspiration does help.

As usual.....keep watching ! :wink:

Thank you and thanks......'ADUGeneral'.......I'll have the rest of the interior done tomorrow and perhaps a roof section too.

Then what goes to the right hand side.......suggestions people please :blush: .......I have less than a month to have NM ready for Brick-a-laide ! :wacko:

Keep watching ! :wink:

Posted

The chemist is fine ! Can you show the interior?

Oh, I will once I finish it.......er, it's only half complete......but I hope the wait will be worth it.

Keep watching......for later today. :blush:

Sadly thanks to very little work hence very little cash I'm in trouble with NM......though I have been able to get this done today......still not sure what to do now that is not going to cost money ?

Less than a month to go and I'm in trouble.....what next to make this town look better........ :sadnew:

That looks great LT, I'm digging the scales in the back and that's a perfect minifig for the staff. The building itself fits in well with the rest of NM too. As for what to build next, it looks like it'll be a corner building, so why not build a little corner store? I'm thinking somewhere for takeaway burgers and chips, a small selection of groceries, a large selection of lollies and magazines, and no small town would be complete without one either :grin:
