New Town

[NewTown]

Hello,

I have got back into Lego within the past year after an almost 30 year break. I started with a few City sets but then discovered the modulars. After building all the current ones and then modifying a second Pet Shop I was hooked! Now I have started building a town of 16 wide modulars due to limited space. Every floor of each building is removable and there are basic interiors in most floors so far. I have been lurking here for a few months to help with building ideas. This is a WIP and I really enjoy building. I would appreciate any feedback ideas.

Fixed your images :) Your images are way too large but I at least could change them into links that work.

Welcome to EB, NewTown! Nice town you have there. I like your custom buildings as well as the upgraded/re-worked Creator sets. Keep 'em coming, and I hope to see more of you in the Town forums!

Very nice buildings! I really like them. Hope to see some roads too :)

Thanks for the nice comments. SalvoBrick I have referenced your town pics many times. I really like your building style.

deraven, yes I did take 2 corner delis plus more parts from PAB and BAP to make one building. The building to the right of that is made from 2 pencil pots and 2 toy and grocery stores plus extra parts. The yellow far right one started as a beach hut plus a ton of yellow 1x6 from a PAB wall and a bunch of online parts. The rest are entirely MOCs.

I would like to add a harbour as I have the Arctic and Deep Sea ships. I see many towns with large blue baseplates, where does everyone get those? Are they older pieces?

Love this lay-out!!!

Great Work!!!

Thank you very much, I'm really flattered

I like particularly the one derived from the toy and grocery store, the one with the brown facade, the one with black roof and a small bow-window and the one with dark-gray and light blue facede.

You should easily find the blue baseplates on Bricklink, since they were produced until a few years ago.

great town ;) harbor is good way to go, and dont forget roads and cars ;) to make town alive!

Thanks! I have a couple of vehicles (Ecto 1, Vacation getaways motorhome, Simpsons cars) but with limited space I really want to focus on buildings mostly. I have started another block. So far I have a WIP Ghostbusters HQ MOC and just yesterday just grabbed a ton of sand green from a PAB wall. After Oct 1 I will be ordering a bunch more bricks and windows when it is 2x VIP points and the free advent calendar :)

This scale of collection and creation is something I can only dream about, absolutely amazing. Wish I could live in there as a miniature. :)

Haven't posted in a while, here is a video of my town. Enjoy!

Every floor of every building comes apart and has an interior complete with stairs :)

4 years in the making...
