lightningtiger Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I have so many designs I to redesign and hence rebuild.....first one of the rack is one of my farm supplier stores from a while back. More to come still again.....keep watching ! Quote
monsinjor Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Cute! Love the spray tool too. One off-topic question LT, when you glue the stickers on your bricks, is it hard to remove them? Does it leave pieces of paper/glue on them? Thank you in advance. Quote
Hobbythom Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 That's a rather interesting roof design! Might use that technique one day! Quote
eurotrash Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 ...when you glue the stickers on your bricks, is it hard to remove them? Does it leave pieces of paper/glue on them? Not sure what LT does, but Peanut butter is a good 'solvent' for removing adhesive.... and it makes your bricks smell fantastic! Quote
ER0L Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Not quite sure how this looked before, but I really like this version with the snotted awning and that nice roof construction. The interior is great, too, especially those shelves, something to keep in mind ... Well done! Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Thanks everyone for your kind words, now the sticker are photo sticker paper.......I used isopropyl alcohol to clean sticker residue from bricks once I strip the sticker off. The original design was first made back in 2010 and I just modify it especially the interior where props/merchandise I try and brick/technic build......then relying on only a few sticker to say what the structure is for. A chemist/drug store (for those in the US) is next on the rebuild list (though I'm using a few stickers there ).....keep watching ! Edit - I forgot......Cuusoo link for the Landmark store.....http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/13998 Edited October 15, 2013 by lightningtiger Quote

lightningtiger Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 I'm about to start the chemist today, but what I would like to know is what other of my town buildings.....shops, offices, workshops should I rebuild, redesign or a totally fresh build ? Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 I didn't get a start on the chemist yesterday thanks to work coming in......must earn money to pay the bills first and of course buy Lego ! Now I decided last night to take an even fresher look at the Landmark......a surprise will be in store later today......I hope. Keep watching ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 Now a new w-i-p underway......so keep watching ! Yep, it's two into one now ! Quote
Only Sinner Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I really like all your buildings. I can see you put a lot of effort into these, and it's paid off as you have the nicest little towns. Quote

timmyc1983 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 yeah I really like this one, it's the green I think, it contrasts well with the white and the stickers! Looking good as usual... I look forward to seeing more, happy building Quote

I look forward to seeing more, happy building Thanks 'timmy', hopefully tomorrow I can have the pavement and roof done......might have to add a street light, but a new kind with LED's (though I must draw up a circuit diagram first for a street lighting system)......keep watching !

lightningtiger Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 I forgot today about the pavement...tomorrow then but the roof is done. Keep watching ! Quote

lightningtiger Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 Just another quick shot, but they have their own weed problem.....so it's a good test for their new sprayer. More coming tomorrow.....some interior redo's of older builds that line New Mannum's main street......keep watching ! Quote
timmyc1983 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Looking good, I don't think that pavement will ever get done the sprayer looks great too, and the truck Happy building Quote

Mr Breden Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 This is looking good so far, that poor guy must be really tired of carrying that sprayer on his back all the time though Quote

splatman Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Will your next vehicle be a street sweeper? Looks like your town could use one Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 Will your next vehicle be a street sweeper? Looks like your town could use one Ha, yeah....er, no, Aussie country towns are quite dusty.......hey, I did my best cleaning the dust off the main street as best as I could.
