Bob Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I haven't posted to many updates on the town, but I've been working hard on it, I've even moved it into a different room, which is now my Lego Room. A general overview of the city. You'll see another overview at the end of the 'tour' The lighthouse and Shark Statue, the first things to be seen if you're coming in by boat. Ignore the pirate ship on wheels in the background, too. The docks, along with a cargo ship. Shark Island is an important stop in the Pacific, as it's where most ships refuel. It is also how Shark Island gets all of their food. Here, you can see the waterfront. The boat yards, and cabana. Here is the train station, where the townsfolk who are afraid of flying and boating come in. Sadly, there has never been a train on these tracks. This is 'downtown'. You can see the beaches and the giant sign, which is advertising the Boeing Dreamliner. The Lee's Chinese Restaurant, a popular dining spot on Shark Island. The police are chasing a criminal on a motorcycle. Government Square, the town hall is the smaller building, and a new one is already in planning. The Courthouse is the bigger building. The Hospital, Police Station, Pizzeria, and parts of the grocery store. The Farm. The Supermarket, Paradise Market. The Construction Site. Not sure what's under construction though. The Ruins of Shark Castle, which is why tourists visit the island. Built in 1745, by the British Governor, Lord Harrington, it was eventually destroyed during the revolution. (Ignore the Pirate Ship on wheels, again.) Comments or Questions? Quote
Zorbas Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 A nice town that it's forming there Bob! First of all, these are my all-time favorite roadplates! I really like the photo with the sign. It is a nice good looking corner. Just one question. From which set is the red ship's hull from? I know that there is a blue one, but a red? P.S Lego room huh? You lucky Bob Marley... (...the Marley thing was for the island. ) Quote
paul_delahaye Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Just one question. From which set is the red ship's hull from? I know that there is a blue one, but a red? Looks like the fireship from set 8831 http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4031 Quote
Zorbas Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Looks like the fireship from set 8831 Ahh, yes! Thanks for the feedback paul! I always thought that the 4031 was using the hull appearing in the 4020 which I own. Quote
Wout Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) ... Ignore the pirate ship on wheels in the background, too......The Ruins of Shark Castle, which is why tourists visit the island.

You made me very interrested in "The Pirate Ship On Wheels!" I would not see it if you didn't mention it so much. Can we see a picture of it? Although the rest of your city is also very nice.

lightningtiger Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Very good MOC, interesting place to visit Shark Island would be. Really love the supermarket and the general mix of buildings showing eras of it's colonial past and present day structures. The base plates for the harbour - multi-coloured ....Hmm... D.I.Y. or are they Lego's real deal paint job ? Anyway I really like this, all you need is two more things 1. small airport 2. a resort of somekind, even a golf course or someting to people a reason to come to Shark Island. Keep up the great work, 'Bob The Construction Man'. Quote
Milan Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Very good! I like how it looks alive and dynamic! Buildings are great, so are the vehicles. But why you allow the horses to go into the very Government Square? They could pollute it! Quote

Ask and you shall recieve: It was a really bad build, and I was about to build it into something else, when I found those wheels. Very good MOC, interesting place to visit Shark Island would be.

Anyway I really like this, all you need is two more things 1. small airport 2. a resort of somekind, even a golf course or someting to people a reason to come to Shark Island. Yes, I'm currently working on a resort for the island, complete with a pool and possibly a golf course. Very good!I like how it looks alive and dynamic! Buildings are great, so are the vehicles. But why you allow the horses to go into the very Government Square? They could pollute it! Thanks. They're the police horses, if they do have an 'accident', then those poor officers will have to clean it up. Quote
Naylus Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Nice town. But I would add several medium buildings near the main square. The beach part is one of the best I think. Maybe because it's really frozy now and many people are longing for warm weather and sun. :) Quote
Selander Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Nice town.....but now it's definetly time to build yourself a train !! those poor people shouldn't have to wait a minute more by the station Quote
