lamascherariposta Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Greetings to everyone! I want to share with you my new humble diorama. The idea was to create a town square using the buildings belonging to the official set 60026 City Square, plus the museum belonging to the official set 60008 Museum Break-In (the sets themselves suggest this link: the bus included in set 60026 has an advertisement of the museum belonging to set 60008!) My other main aim was to create my first SNOT road: I'm not totally satisfied with the result, as the bricks I've chosen don't perfectly fit in the space at their disposal. I need to experiment more :-) As for the rest, I simply added some decorations: a small park with a swing, a newspaper kiosk, a fountain, a bus stop. I also decided to add elements from two more official sets: 60054 Light Repair Truck and 30312 Demolition Driller. At first I wanted to include all the vehicles of the various sets, re-creating the theft which is the main theme of the museum set... but the end result was too cramped, so I decided to put this idea aside. I'll put some pics here, you can see the whole album on my Flickr page. The pictures are a bit blurry and not very high quality, sorry for that :-) I would really love to get some tips and ideas from you, I'm still a newbie in comparison with most of the people posting here!

lightningtiger Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Neat little display.....I like the fountain and newspaper kiosk. Might I suggest a post box or little post office with an ATM so dinners can pay for their pizzas. Will you include City Square when released mid-year to expand this ? Keep up the great work and Brick On 'lamascherariposta' ! Quote
gazumpty Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Nice work...wee bit more required...as LT said above. But I really like how is started! Im also looking to rebuild my modulars & some select sets into an MOC built landscape...I like your brick built bases! Quote

Keep up the great work and Brick On 'lamascherariposta' ! Hi lightningtiger, thank you for your suggestions! I'll certainly buy the new Town Square, but I don't think I'll add it to this diorama, I'll probably build a new one from scratch :-) Nice work...wee bit more required...as LT said above. But I really like how is started! Im also looking to rebuild my modulars & some select sets into an MOC built landscape...I like your brick built bases! Thanks to you as well! Unfortunately, I live in a very small apartment, so I can't keep a lot of thing built at the same time. Usually, I build a diorama and then when I have the idea for a new one I destroy the first and start over. I think the brick-built bases can give a lot of side ideas: for example, they allow you to go 'under' the terrain, like I did with the fountain and with the small construction site next to the road. And of course they allow you to build the SNOTed road: something I really want to practice more in the future. I think the real problem there will be creating a bend: all the examples I found online are pretty unsatisfying, for me... Quote
