My Lego City

[Zanki]

This was my Lego city. I had to dismantle it two months ago because I got a dog, but my favourite buildings are safely away on the shelf. A lot of the buildings have been modded or are my own design. Unfortunately I don't have too many bricks so I'm kind of limited with my custom builds.

Overview of the entire city with my elevated railway line. The Hogwarts Express has been modded to work on the old track with the addition of an old motor.

My railway station is one of my favourite parts. I modded set 8077. I got the set cheap in a sale and knew instantly it would make an awesome train station.

I love my merged Space Police Station/Police Station. I hope I can extend it in the future to hold more mechs and have a proper landing strip for Space Police vehicles.

The City Hospital is a merger of a Police Station and the Helicopter Rescue set. I knew I wanted a large hospital, but since none had been released in a long time, I had to make my own.

Hogwarts Castle. This is two castles combined to make my cities school/castle. I did have a real castle but I took it apart to build my library.

My Japanese castle, I love this thing. I also have an old Orient Expedition Dragon Fortress as well but I somehow missed it when I took the pictures. It's just out of the shot.

Looking down the main street;

A few of my custom half modulars;

And these are the last two buildings I've been working on. I picked up the bricks from a pick at brick wall when I was in California a few weeks ago. Some of the bricks I have never seen in a PaB wall in the UK. I got them because they had none of the sets I wanted in stock, no modulars, none of the Star Wars sets, not even Guardians of the Galaxy, I was upset but with the bricks I got I could finish these off.

This wasn't the entire thing, I didn't get pictures of everything before I took it down but it's most of it.

Thats a cool city, I like your large combined buildings!

Very colourful, busy, different. I can imagine there is a lot of 'you' in there. Nice to see someone else also mix up all the themes. Why not have mechas parled on the high street. But... How lomg do you have to wait until the dog is trained? And doesn't the LEGO get awfully dusty on the floor?

Nifty city layout 'Zanki'........Brick On !

I love it! I also like how you have mixed themes. The Star Wars Clone Trooper standing on the path gave me a chuckle :)

It's a shame you have had to pack it away because of the dog.

I am so jealous of your collection! The police station looks very futuristic/cyberpunkish. One of the officers from that station is trying to arrest someone at the cafe? It is very well built, I like it. Also I think I saw the Egyptian temple in the background.

Very nice. I like the variety.

I'm glad you like the Police Station, I'm very proud of it. I think I wrote the backstory of it in another thread on here at some point.

That is the Egyptian temple, I love that set, it's just way too awesome. I actually use it as my cities museum. I'm hoping to expand the set in the future to make it more museum like.

Did you notice Sebulba behind the table?

It's not a shame about the dog. I really wanted to get a dog and if putting most of my city away is the compromise then so be it. All my custom stuff is safely stowed away on a bookcase so there wasn't much fuss caused. I just had to make sure I bagged all my sets up together so the bricks didn't get lost/mixed up.

Yeah, the city isn't exactly how I want it, but it's slowly expanding and getting better. I can't wait to put the new buildings I half finished the other day with the others and see what they look like together. I would finish them completely, but I'm limited on my bricks. I don't have enough flat pieces of slanties to make a roof for either of them. I did have some mechs in the street to fight my bugs, but I took them out, there just wasn't enough room. The dog is already trained, but I'm not rebuilding the city just because there isn't the space now. She's a very good dog, but I don't want my Lego to get damaged if she got upstairs so for now, the city is pretty much bagged away. It did get dusty on the floor, but it wasn't that bad, the stuff I kept at the side in my bedroom was dirtier if I forgot to give it a quick clean.

Very, very nice city you have their. It has a developed feel to it and lovely structure of your own MOCs and Mods!

[Only Sinner]

I can't begin to describe how great this town really is! I guess if I tried, I might say it's a beautiful eclectic potpourri of urban plastic fantasy.

The hospital and police station are probably my favourites.

[eckarty]

I love the mash-up of themes!! And the city is really busy!

[Back to the Brick]

Nice city Zanki! I like the mech/space police station.

And nice Harry Potter collection.

Well said, Only Sinner

Zanki, it's a very personal style, you have given your city. That you feel restricted by the number of bricks (I guess we all do... ) doesn't really show, though. You have managed to make a busy, lively city. Of your MOCs, I like the blue and white building, a juice bar? And quite interesting as you have combined the different series, like making a railway station out of 8077 Atlantis Exploration HQ. Regarding the Japanese castle, you should make a Japanese garden with it - then you will have a Japanese cultural centre in your city.

Asome!
