WIP/MOC: Goochland County

[Electricsteam]

Here is my small layout call GoochLand County for 2 reasons, one Goochland is a local are where I had fond memories growing up, two there is sort of main street there where is just a quaint little town in the center I will go get a picture of it later.

I still what you, the Eurobrick comunity to design little modulars that would fit in the town! (hint,hint)

Remember I want YOU to help design small modulars for Goochland County!

Hey do you have any house designs for the town yet?

[lightningtiger]

I'm not much of a house designer.....more shops, offices and factory kind of stuff.....but you should already know that 'ES'.

Since you build factories I'd like to tell you that my plan fo the Vacuum Engine was for it to run the factories and other mechanical movment things.

I forgot to mention, you could design the AutoShop or maybe the post office since you are awesome at uilding shops and factories!

What kind of 'feel' do you want for your little district? Rural? (houses, lots of greens, barns and machinery dealers) Industrial? (not as much greens, big buildings, offices) Commercial? (Shops, shops, maybe a park, modern-style apartments)

Well is a small mix between Rural and Commercial, I will explain more later after I get some sleep. I really need sleep after almost dieing on the roller coasters of highway and roads they call D.C.

Also while finnaly leaving D.C. in Alexandria there was just this quaint little town that shows perfectly what I hope the city to look like. Like most of the houses and Motels where from around 60's-80's some still with a Color Tv sign on it.

Okay, I'm planning a post office and hardware store.....yes, everyone another one.....but I need the new painters roller and tool wheel to fit it out.....they will be both inspired by past city designs and the new town square.....so keep waiting 'electricsteam' I'll do it a.s.a.p......Brick On anyway !

[Electricsteam]

I have demolished the first house again... I will rebuild it better and fancier! But I would like if you guys told me some good house building techniques!

[Electricsteam]

Hey Lightningtiger have you finished that post office yet and the Hardware store yet?

Er, no......being busy actually earning a living.....of sorts , a new hardware store design is save in my digital designer....must brick build it next when cash and time allow.

Make tunnel entrances for the railway, that way it will look like your trains are going off somewhere and appearing from somewhere else rather than just going round and round. It will also give you raised ground on which to place other structures, things like a windmill or small church and perhaps a farm house come to mind.

Very Nice idea! But I need to have the ability to take the city part Baseplate by Baseplate so I can pack it up when ever I am done with the city! But to my frugalness I am redesigning the city again! Also on Lego.com one my Pc the green base plate is $10 but on my laptop the baseplate is $5 can some one explain that? I Have been working one some faux buildings and a cool Corner-round building! I would like to say I build from the Minifig point of view.. Like if we where the minifigs. So that is why most of my buildings would be looking a little large for the city.

You're off to a good start I really like the first 2 buildings you had there (shame you broke up the first one!) As for building ideas I can't really help as most of my Lego village is made of official sets (although I often MOD them to make them fit in better) Apart from that I'd say just go out for a walk with a camera and take pics of interesting real life buildings to give you design ideas.

Looking forward to seeing more!!

I have been breaking up the houses until I find the style I like... But I have been working on a cool suburban house and a roudish shop of some sort... the only thing not broken up would be the Reeds of my prototype papaer weaving loom....
