lightningtiger Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Since I'm doing a second theme (New Mannum being the first) in the 1950's and based on the 2008 Town Plan set. Can you guess what build might come after the car dealer.....? More to come and yes, I will be brick-building these for ? Suggest away everyone, anything from the 1950's I'll give it go ! Quote
HighFlyer Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Looking good lightningtiger!! I would like to see an antique book shop Quote
bootz Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Well, considering the condiments(very cute btw, I like the salt and pepper alot) I'm guessing you will be doing a diner or restaurant of some sort next? I'd love to see a car that's even flashier than the one from Town Plan. Something with huge fins and lots of chrome. And then, to be the yin to it's yang, something small like a Nash Metropolitan.

lightningtiger Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 Bingo 'Bootz' a dinner...straight across the road from the cinema, I'll start work on that one shortly. A book store, hmm....yes I'll consider it 'HighFlyer'. Actually a 50's hardware store run by a guy called Mr C. is on the cards for sure. Keep commenting and watching (Oh, I have brick-built the stuff in the LDD picture....posting once I have the right coloured parts today ). Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 One soda post-mix dispenser coming up. See it brick-built here.....1950's Diner (as well as other buildings) Keep watching ! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Wonderful telephone LT! I just love this vintage design! Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Wonderful telephone LT! I just love this vintage design! Thanks 'LT12V', actually I had to redesign the pay phone to suit minifigs....oh, I must update it....oops, I didn't do it in LDD...I will though. I'll edit shortly. Quick edit....now that was quick you might say ! Edited October 17, 2011 by lightningtiger Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 As I've already said you are able to capture great details in an easy way! With this mini-cool-things also the SNOT technique seems simple...great skills LTiger! Quote
-zenn Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Kewl, love to see the dinner already! A coke dispenser or a gumball dispenser would be nice. Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) Thanks 'LT12V' and '-zenn' for your kind words, I knocked up another LDD creation here....look for the five & dime store. Perfect suggestion '-zenn' a gumball machine....oh, how 1950's is that eh ? (I check out some designs right now) (by the way, that post-mix is based on a Coca Cola machine from the 1930's) Keep watching everyone ! Quick edit.....this is why I'm called Lightningtiger.... Gumball machine. Edited October 18, 2011 by lightningtiger Quote
-zenn Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) Wow, that was fast! it would be fun to have waitresses on rollerskates and a jukebox just screams 1950 to me. Maybe an elvis look-a-like customer. *edit; every dinner served milkshakes and burgers back then, that's an easy one. Most of them also had checkered flooring and booths.

True, but you could glue some skateboard wheels to minifig iceskates... Haha, the Fonz! :thumbup: Edited October 18, 2011 by -zenn Quote

The new motor mechanic figure in the January wave of collectables will be handy so to the cap from the butcher for the diner's soda jerk. Keep watching ! Quote
slovakiasteph Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 That gumball machine is pretty sweet! Will it go in your diner? Am I allowed to say... Brick on, 'lightningtiger!' Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 That gumball machine is pretty sweet! Will it go in your diner? Am I allowed to say... Brick on, 'lightningtiger!' Thanks 'slovakiasteph', you may say that....oh, and the gumball machine - yep, it's going out the front of the diner...a gap filler where the tiling of pavement doesn't meet the curved frontage of the dinner....likewise the cigar stand fills the spot in front of the barber's shop.

Hoexbroe Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Gumball machine. Wow, that candy dispenser is excellent! <<<copied>>> Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Thanks 'Hoexbroe' glad you like my gumball machine....link to see a redesign if it in brick-form....Barber and Diner extra shots Comments and suggestions - keep them coming ! Quick edit.....gumball mkII.... Edited October 19, 2011 by lightningtiger Quote
Hoexbroe Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks 'Hoexbroe' glad you like my gumball machine....link to see a redesign if it in brick-form No, I like more the version with the grey cheese! -Looks more like a dispenser to me. Here is a similar one I made one and a half year ago; Quote
HighFlyer Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Liking the new additions, love the gumball machine! It seems that red is the main colour scheme in most of your small accessories? Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Gumball machine. Great machine ...I need a gumball right now! Quote
-zenn Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) It just occured to me, that a kid on flickr made a gumball machine as well... But he'd put some abs granulates in it. would be kewl if you could get your hands on some. *edit; found him> Minifig Scale Candy Machine by Cam M., on Flickr A find> Choices, Choices by Armothe, on Flickr And oldschool vinyl records on the walls can be a neat touch. You are the 'sticker wizard', so some stickers on round tiles would do the trick. Edited October 19, 2011 by -zenn Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks for the feedback everyone, dam it now I have to buy a black tap today - I'm fresh out (hence reason for MkII). Now guess what this is...... Comments and suggestions welcome as always.....more to come ! Quote
-zenn Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Ah man, great! Maybe you could make on with arched pieces, so it will have that iconic round shape on top. Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 Ah man, great! Maybe you could make on with arched pieces, so it will have that iconic round shape on top. Ah, but that wouldn't be 1950's rock and roll era, the jukeboxes you speak of come from the 1930's/early 1940's....you can see the art-deco in it.....my design is modernistic 1950's...... But thanks for the feedback '-zenn' ! Quote
