lightningtiger Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Looking good LT... As i think i've said before, I love the way you combine realism with the classic open back style!! (I especially like the first pic looking down the street) Looking forward to seeing what comes next!! Thanks 'greg3', a supermarket is next and I will start on it's interior at the same time as finishing the Toyota dealer and hardware store......don't worry I'm not planning any more hardware store like things for a little while......maybe ! Keep watching ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Update time...... I still might add more to the hardware store.....you might see a lawn mower in the Toyota dealer too.....more there still to be done......keep watching ! Quote
monsinjor Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I love it. Again nice work LT. The chain on a roll.... NICE! We want more! We want more! Quote
ER0L Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Great stuff, I especially love your interior design. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 I love it. Again nice work LT. The chain on a roll.... NICE! We want more! We want more! Thanks 'monsinjor', okay, okay I'll try and have some of the new supermarket up and running.....plus more sidewalk detailing (I hope I have the time to do that). Any suggestions and questions are always welcome.......Keep watching everyone ! Great stuff, I especially love your interior design. Thanks 'ER0L', I try my best and somehow I nail shop designs......I guess I might have the knack for it. Totally keep watching......I still have a bank and hotel plus service station/roadhouse to do yet ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 I have been able to get this far today.......keep watching ! Quote
tomdobs55 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Supermarket looks great, loving the cash registers! GO GO GO!!! MORE MORE MORE!!! Edited January 13, 2014 by tomdobs55 Quote
sin Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 The interior of that market is looking awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing more Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks 'sin' and 'tomdobs55' for your comments, you can see where the sliding door to enter and exit the store is going and where the walls are going......hopefully tomorrow I'll have it all done......keep watching ! Quote
Adamskii Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Following this topic with much interest.. I visit Mannum occasionally and will pay much more attention to the shops next time .. What will you do with it when complete? Surely an opportunity to show it off in a shop or visitor center in the street is on the radar? So fancy doing a Lego Murray Princess? or the ferry? Looking good buddy. I don't think an Elizabeth town center will have the same effect! Great stuff. Adam Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 Well, thanks......it's really based on the actual town.......here's the story, my family first came to South Australia in 1840 and went straight to Mannum to help build the town.....so I create a town why not name it new something......because it's new. Currently I'm working on the supermarket and totally should be completed tomorrow.....keep watching ! Oh, I was planning a ferry.....but have never got around to designing it........and this is a train display layout.....every two years at Golden Grove Arts Centre. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 A bit more work tonight....... Note the sliding door.....keep watching ! Quote
timmyc1983 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Looking good there LT, I don't know how you do it but you keep coming up with great designs!! The super market is looking good. I'm watching, happy building Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 Looking good there LT, I don't know how you do it but you keep coming up with great designs!! The super market is looking good. I'm watching, happy building Thanks 'timmy', I'll have the signs up on the supermarket later on this morning (Adelaide time that is ) so keep watching for that ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Slowly in the heatwave I progress....... Stacks more to come......keep watching ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) More work as the heat is on.......42 degress C outside ! Keep watching ! Edited January 14, 2014 by lightningtiger Quote
timmyc1983 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Gah!! 42 degrees!! I'm surprised your bricks aren't melting! BUt your street is looking really good, the supermarket is great. I look forward to more, happy building Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks 'timmy'.....try 45 tomorrow and 46 the next day......my bricks are okay in the heat. Hopefully tomorrow I'll try to start on a new bank structure.........should it be modern or Victorian-era stone structure ? Keep watching ! Quote
sin Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Wow that's hot! Awesome work on the market, interior details are spot on and the sliding door is a great touch. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Wow that's hot! Awesome work on the market, interior details are spot on and the sliding door is a great touch. Thanks 'sin', I took the interior of the IGA and modified it into a Foodland......well since all Foodland's in South Oz are linked the IGA logo too. I'm going to create some fresh minifigs for staff shortly, but for now I will start work on the bank building......though still tossing up really old or really new/modern bank building design ? Keep watching ! Quote
The Player Nº1 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Nice updates! Nice work lightningtiger! Quote
Captain Settle Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Poor you with 42°C. Try having 5°C like over here. Great work on the street though. I'm always inspired by your builds, as you come up with such great techniques and make such realistic builds without that many parts. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks for the kind words 'The Player No1' and 'Captain Settle', now you 'Captain' must be having an English heatwave....5 degrees C eh ? Try 45 today, 46 tomorrow......and I think my Lego is still good.....no melting yet ! Keep watching for the bank shortly... Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 Let's play spot the difference...... I still must start on the bank building.......still also not sure if modern or really old style ? Keep watching ! Quote
tomdobs55 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Alright, I love the hardware store and everything in it. That supermarket is great though! so much detail. What I really like is the street lights, and what I'm assuming is a trashbin down the road. Can we get a better pic of that? I'd love to see how its done. Quote
