simonwillems Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Take a look at this beautifully detailed city I found on Brickshelf with half-timbered houses, great station and some wonderful other houses. *wub* This guy put a lot of effort into his city to make it look this nice. The thumbnail is a link to the gallery. Quote
Starwars4J Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 That's one beautiful city alright *wub* Judging from the scale, I'd think it was made by a LUG Quote
alex54 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 A town with a lot of great details! I've the feeling that it's a town made with old parts selection, with just few new pieces, well integrated. Quote
Commander Wolf Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 A town with a lot of great details! I've the feeling that it's a town made with old parts selection, with just few new pieces, well integrated. ... the best type of town there is XD. This is indeed very impressive; does anyone have any info on the builder? Quote
Landlubber Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Judging from the scale, I'd think it was made by a LUG I'd think the same except for the fact that it appears to be set up in an attic or something similar. Notice the sloped corners of the room indicating a roofspace room. Whatever it is it's an impressive city. Pity there isn't a full shot of the whole lot, but the room probably doesn't allow for a panoramic shot. Quote

Notice the sloped corners of the room indicating a roofspace room. You're right. All I know about him is that he's from Germany and he has an entire attic for his "layout". And he made the layout himself. I especially like the dark red factory *wub* Quote
casewindu Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 that is a really cute town! i love the american emmbassy car and the little moped scooter with the woman on! :-D i wish i could make things like that :-( Quote
El Bucanero Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Those tudor style buildings are superb!! Truly a wonderful city. But I never saw the windows used in this building before, are they custom made perhaps? Mr Tiber Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted March 10, 2007 Eurobricks Emperor Posted March 10, 2007 This is really incredible. I took about 15 minutes for looking at all those lovely pictures. I would really like to see an overview picture, know how long it took to make this city, what are the future plans, ... . I have send an email to the creator (Uli) with a link to this topic. So with a little luck, he might be here soon... Quote
Hobbes Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 But I never saw the windows used in this building before, are they custom made perhaps? Nope, those are actually very old doors, before minifigs existed. I've seen them being used as windows before. I have some of them somewhere in my piles... Quote
Hobbes Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Hello everbody. Hi Uli, welcome to EB and thanks a lot for taking the time to share some insight. That's one big project you're working on there, I admire your patience. Even if you just build it for yourself I'll continue to check your brickshelf folder ;-) Good luck on your project *y* Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted March 10, 2007 Eurobricks Emperor Posted March 10, 2007 Hello Uli, nice of you to spend some time to share some background information about this beautiful city MOC. Welcome! Quote
Commander Wolf Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Dang... a ten year project! And I thought those guys doing 1-2 year projects were taking a long time... I can barely work on a MoC for 10 days! Quote
El Bucanero Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Welcome Uli! Nope, those are actually very old doors, before minifigs existed. I've seen them being used as windows before. I have some of them somewhere in my piles... Do you mean they can open? Mr Tiber Quote
Hobbes Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Do you mean they can open? No, that they don't. Quote
Mike F Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 That's a wonderful moc Uli! how would you know that peice was a door if it doesn't open and doesn't look like one? The only way is to see a set with it which is here: Quote
Hobbes Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 how would you know that peice was a door if it doesn't open and doesn't look like one? The only way is to see a set with it which is here: I grew up with old sets like that and didn't know any other doors back then. It always looked like a door to me. And bricklink says it's a door ;-) Quote
alex54 Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Hello Uli! It's always nice to hear, or read, some coments from afol city. A 10 year project is very long. But after Those 10 years, your town is finished. So the question is: do you plan to modify it (some minor modification, big rebuild,...) ? :-D Personnaly, my town is never completed. Quote
blueandwhite Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Really loving this. Oh, and I may be incorrect, but I think that the factory is actually just... red. The dark-red colouring seems to be a product of the photography/photo editing. Look carefully at some of the red windows: they also appear to be dark red, even though many of them have been out of production for years. Still, regardless of colour, this is a genuine, bonafide masterwork. Bravo, and kudos for a job well done. Later. Quote
UniqueBuilder Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 The factory and train station is just.. 8- Quote
UniqueBuilder Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Sorry for double-posting, but I just had to bump this topic. It's a shame if this topic dies out. Take a look at that city! *sweet* Quote
zeki Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 I just love it *wub* the nicest town i have ever seen Quote
