Kivi Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Every creation deteriorates with time and the houses in Lego city are no exemption. So there comes a time when some renewal is needed. The scaffolding was set up, protected by panels at street level and nets above. Close-up view of the renovation. As the sight is obscured by the nets... ...they shall be temporarily removed to see what is going on. The workers have already removed the old plaster. Men at work, obviously very busy. The worker at the top of the scaffolding has just taken a rest. The others will join soon... ...as the master is hurrying in with a new sixpack. The scaffolding, looking a bit massive for a 6-stud width. The technic axle-constructed frame is quite sturdy while the boards are somewhat less stable. Being constructed by combination of technic and normal plates, this allowed no more than only one stud of connection between them at some points. They could have been reinforced with another layer of plates though, but I left them as they were as the entire thing would appear even more massive then. Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Now that's a six pack......is it Duff ? Interesting creation......moonlighting railway workers......on the railways one day......construction site the next. Brick On 'Kivi' ! Quote
eurotrash Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Great idea and really well executed. The traffic barriers and the heavy-duty grille/mesh at ground level are a realistic detail that - I think - many would have not have thought to include Thank you for sharing it with us! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Excellent work on the scaffolding Kivi! I made a Brick Link order last year to build scaffolding as well. While still in their bags, I'm glad to see, I ordered the right parts! Your's looks great Quote
timmyc1983 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Very well built and looks great, and quite realistic... i love that you've got the ladder in there too, and the workers on their break Very well done!! Happy building Quote
mostlytechnic Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Love it! Great way to get some variety and realism into your town and very well executed. Quote
Redhead1982 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I was waiting for this MOC to comment on. As I've seen it at the exhibition, it was a nice detailing to the otherwise perfect layout. It's a nice touch adding an unfinished facade and breaking up the monotony of the otherwise new street. The hidden details are a nice touch - exposed studs, bottoms of headlights, and my favourite the worker taking a break with refreshment. Well done! Quote
tomdobs55 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I think the road barriers are my favorite part Quote
