CarrollFilms Posted April 20, 2011 Just an Excellent job, the IGA building is the best looking out of the rest. This reminds me alot of the 50's. Keep up the great work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted April 20, 2011 Just an Excellent job, the IGA building is the best looking out of the rest. This reminds me alot of the 50's. Keep up the great work Thank you for your comments 'CarrolFilms', my town layout is similar to a 50's town in the U.S.A. particularly if the town is in the outback, seaside towns are different in layout. Brick On Everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 2, 2011 Gee, it's being a couple of weeks since my last post here eh ? Anyway, a little written update, the Ford Dealership is going well and a hint to the start of New Mannum's expansion. Hint is And its website. Keep on watching everyone !

lightningtiger Posted May 3, 2011 Okay, I'll make it easy.... Yep, that will be the first of a new series of builds for New Mannum. Comments and even other suggestions of what can go in my town (yes, a pub is still on the list). Brick On everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 15, 2011 Okay, so not much new there.....but what about this..... Ah, now you might see where the Ford Dealership will go....right...? Comments still quite welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff Huntington Posted June 15, 2011 Great as usual, lightningtiger. I love the details on the road, particularly the streetlights. One question: is the 60 in the circle sign the speed limit down the road, or the sign marking the highway name? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted June 15, 2011 The 60 sign refers to a speed limit of 60kph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 15, 2011 Thanks 'jonwil' for informing our overseas friend about Aussie road signs.....oh, we must have been burning the early morning oil eh ? And thanks 'Jeff Huntington' for your comments, all feedback is welcome and I'm grateful for one's opinions. Now, later on...like in the next oh, say 5 hours I'll be posting again with the Ford Dealership included....things are happening and things are changing.....keep on watching !

lightningtiger Posted June 16, 2011 Now, I promised an update photo didn't I ! So, you now know how the dealership fits the town. Comments welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted June 16, 2011 Your Ford dealership is nice (for a Ford dealership anyway :P ) All its missing is a good Aussie Ford Falcon :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 16, 2011 Thanks 'jonwil' for your comments, ah....that in the yard is a Ford Ranger. A Falcon might be possible as a secondhand one - like a XD Falcon from nearly 30 years ago. Now another quick up date. Now you can see where everything is going. Keep on watching !

Sisco Posted June 16, 2011 That mall I love so much looks even better in this layout... And I have to agree with jonwil, that Ford dealership is lovely, even if it is... Ford. Yeah, I'm more of a Chevy guy. Great as always! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 16, 2011 Thanks 'cralegoboy' for your kind words, the interior floor of the Ford dealer is going to be redone....white tiles were needed else where. Now a new creation will be making an appearance soon, you may have noticed the gas and bearing stores are gone.....but not for long. It's being hard to find out, but there are some rural traders that deal in both gas and bearings, they usually have something to do with manufacture of steel sheds or machinery. Keep those comments and any fresh ideas comming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AussieJimbo Posted June 16, 2011 The town is looking great with all the new modules incorporated, LT. I'm also working on quite a space-hungry MOC at the moment. I know from experience that it's a bit risky giving you clues but I'll tell you I've taken a different slant than usual. Should have a WIP good enough for some photos in a day or so. :classic: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Artifex Posted June 16, 2011 New Mannum is looking great, Lightning Tiger! Nice to see the Shopping Center connected to the rest of the town centre. What about a movie theatre, or a video rental shop? A laundry shop, maybe? Or a rent-a-car thing? Just throwing some ideas... Keep up the gret work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icy brick Posted June 16, 2011 Yeaah!! just what I was hoping for!!! Movie theater what ARTIFEX suggested is a great idea. I´ll try to make a mega-moc next. It will be a bus station. So my suggestion is Bus Station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
