Dazmundo Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Today I have started sorting out my shed properly so that I have an area to build a town. It started like this Then I tidied up the far end to store and sort my Lego Well today I have started to build a surface on the left to build my town. We are having a new conservatory built and after the old one was taken down I was left with a load of wood so I decided a very good use would be a Lego display table. Today I have started to put a frame together The legs are not attached yet, it is just balance, and I'd like to put another set of legs in the middle for added strength but I ran out of wood so I'm going to have to buy a bit more, but It's a really good start. The new structure is 105cm by 230cm and 100cm tall. D Quote
Dazmundo Posted August 12, 2011 Author Posted August 12, 2011 Well yesterdays progress.. The legs are now attached (well 3 of the the back one is just balanced but it's not going anywhere) Still no top to the table, I need to go out and buy a piece big enough, but I wanted to start planning so I counted up what base plates and railway track I have. My conclusion was that I don't have very much although the display table isn't actually that big so I don't think it will be too much of an issue. I also washed all the base plates, which is a first, so some of them hadabout 30yrs worth of dust on them. They still have various marks and discolouring but they are at least now 'clean'. It is amazing how much water they hold on too in all the little dints in the bottom, will take a while to dry properly I think. D Quote
AwesomeTaylor Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Looking forward to watching it grow! Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) I look forward to see the city started am sure it will be as good as all the rest of the towns on Eurobricks. Edited August 12, 2011 by Alasdair Ryan Quote

LEGO Guy Bri Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Great another start to a city. I'm excited to see it progress. How much available space do you have? Edited August 13, 2011 by Leg Godt Gud Quote
Dazmundo Posted August 13, 2011 Author Posted August 13, 2011 Great another start to a city. I'm excited to see it progress. How much available space do you have? Basically what you can see in the pictures. The new frame is 230cm by 105cm but I will probably extend onto the existing surface at the farend which is roughly 50cm by 225cm so it will give me an 'L' shaped table D Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 That sounds like a nice area for a set up. I'm not going to bug you with a bunch of "what's going in" questions but, can't wait to see a new built. Promise no indoor grilling Quote
