Lasse Posted June 19, 2020 Fabuland was a LEGO theme that existed in the period 1979-1989. Together with my mother Anne Mette I have built two Fabuland layouts. The first layout is built entirely of LEGO bricks that existed in the 1980s: The other layout is built of modern LEGO bricks: More photos: More photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/66344850@N06/albums/72157714613680153 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted June 19, 2020 Double dip of delightful Fabuland. I think @Pandora and @Hinckley would love this too. The simple 80s authentic build captures the charm of the theme and the design sensibilities of the era. The modern style is a lovely match to the "vintage" layout but also looks like something Tom Nook and friends would feel at home in. A beautiful pair of creations.

Pandora Posted June 23, 2020 These are absolutely lovely Fabuland scenes, and it's wonderful how you've managed to recreate pretty much exactly the same scene twice. It's a bit like looking at a photo with two different filters! There's really clever part use to brick build the larger single Fabuland parts, like the car roof: it's just one part in Fabuland, but you've managed to brick build the same shape in the contemporary version. I also like the small touches like the bear holding the teddy bear printed tile in the 80's compared with the equivalent bear holding an actual teddy bear in the modern version. The rounding you've achieved with the modern doors and windows really works to tie the two together. It's lovely to see this, thank you.

Killian Posted June 23, 2020 My first Lego was Fabuland, back when it was still in the shops, so I adore the amazing displays you've made! They remind me of Richard Scarry's Busytown books with lots of animal crowd scenes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Scarry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
