jonwil Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Here is a news stand I built after realizing I had so many newspapers (Prophet, Quibbler, Bugle and that one from the Town Plan). Its loosely based on news stands I have seen in Melbourne Australia and on news stands I have seen in general (on TV etc) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonwil/newsstand/news1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonwil/newsstand/news2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonwil/newsstand/news3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonwil/newsstand/news4.jpg On the front counter are the 4 news papers, the Daily Prophet, the Quibbler, the Daily Bugle and the Brick (from Town Plan). Behind the worker minifig are various postcards. On one side (hard to see though because of the lighting and the lack of ability to get a good shot from the right angle) is a map of the local area (HP marauders map tile) and a music guide/magazine ("brick fever" tile from Minifigures series 2). On the other side is a Batman comic (tile with Batman logo sticker) and a Star Justice comic (Star Justice logo sticker tile) The doors of the news stand can close (note the locks to ensure no-one steals anything) I would like to make it so that the awning can retract or fold somehow but I havent figured out a way to do it.

lightningtiger Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Now why hasn't Lego ever done one of these......too simple but they are in every city I believe. Keep on reading the news ! Quote
buddy Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) Good news stand jonwil. There is quite a variety of products in there, newspapers, postcards, a magazine and a comic. Well done. ~buddy~ Edited November 7, 2010 by buddy Quote
greg3 Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Cool!! Simple but effective and ideal for any town/city... nice work!! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 That's a pretty good build jonwil, this is a really nice creation to any busy city set-up. The only thing I'd suggest is some sort of additional newspaper stand/rack (like the postcard holder in the 8404 Public Transport set). Still, good job on this one! Quote
jonwil Posted November 8, 2010 Author Posted November 8, 2010 I ran out of suitable printed tiles to do anything more :) Quote
