Exa Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Hey, I'am working on a Lego train and my layout is fine. It's now time to add houses and so on. I already have Creator house 4956 and 4886. They look fine and size looks good. I plan to buy modular to create a small city. I would like to know how modular will looks side Creator house. I also see some modular-like : 31026 Bike Shop & Cafe. I'am searching for pictures with Creator houses, modular and those modular-like. I would like to know if size match and if they can be mixed. Perhaps I don't use the good words to google for picts but I did not found such pictures. I found a picture form this topic but the viewing angle did not help to compare. PS : Sorry for my poor English. It doesn't help to search... Edited December 4, 2014 by Exa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deraven Posted December 4, 2014 It can be made to work, but I think rather than mixing them directly I'd have one side of a street made from the Modulars and the other from the Creator buildings, or the different scale buildings in different parts of town- that kind of thing. In my opinion, putting them side-by-side without expanding the Creator sets (or down-sizing the Modulars) doesn't look quite right: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redimus Posted December 5, 2014 The way I see it, the Modular buildings would all be the big ones in the posher part of town, while the creator ones would have to be backstreet shops or the poorer part of town. As for creator houses, they'd be out of town anyway, so it doesn't matter as much (although there's not a lot of good Creator houses right now). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted December 5, 2014 These creator shop designs are like an introduction to modular building....the same idea as to smaller technic sets as compared to the larger more expensive and power functioned sets. The creator series started this year would need to be increased in size of them to make them match the expert modulars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exa Posted December 5, 2014 Thank you very much all for your help! deraven, your pict is just what I was looking for. Redimus, I agree. Modular have to be together for center town not mixed up with Creator house nor with Creator modular-like. lightningtiger, your are right. Those Creator modular like are the link between Creator house witch are very esay to build and the modular expert with a lot of advanced building tech. So, I skip buying the Bike Shop & Cafe. It's as low as 55 € form Amazon.de (lowest price) but the size is really too small. If I have to buy 3 or 4 of them to make a *full size* house, it's really not a great deal.

Kristel Posted December 5, 2014 The Town Index is a good starting point. SwissBrick's is one of my favourites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exa Posted December 5, 2014 The Town Index is a good starting point. SwissBrick's is one of my favourites. Great, your links are very usefull ! Thanks a lot. SwissBrick's town is really beautiful. I have never seen a so lovely city before. It takes me some time to place the Bike Shop & Cafe side the Pet Shop. Maybe it will help someone else. Clic to see it fullsize (2000x1500).
