Lance Posted May 28, 2011 How about putting a LEGO store in? If you bought the LEGO truck you could put sets in it and use the Lego decals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 28, 2011 How about putting a LEGO store in? If you bought the LEGO truck you could put sets in it and use the Lego decals. Thanks anyway for the suggestion, two things - sadly no....we don't have any in Oz and you are second to suggest it. But I will have a Lego retail display in the Discount Store frontage. Keep those suggestions comming ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legolegolegolego Posted May 28, 2011 Yep, I got the key (voices, I hear voices....oop's sorry a 1984 song stuck in my head ! ).....two keys - the original and a blank being cut. Russ Ballard? - Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 28, 2011 Russ Ballard? - Michael Yes, I wonder what happened to him ? Anyway, I might have a few more things up and running today, but still which ladies fashion and discount stores do I build ? Brick On Suggest On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha Posted May 29, 2011 Thanks for the feedback everyone, 'jonwil' yes it most likely will be a Bakers Delight. Now a QANTAS plane at an airport, well.....it would have to be QANTAS Link twin prop planes and not jets for a small town airport ! But I have not even put any though to an airport or even an airstrip ! In any case I will take any of those and even more ideas onboard to create this Mega-MOC ! Thanks again and Brick On Suggest On ! Outback Airstrip would be a good start, do you have the current airport, that plane would just need a few decals for Qantas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Malfoy Posted May 29, 2011 Maybe a McDonald's in the food court? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 29, 2011 Well thanks again 'Macoco' for the airport suggestion, maybe once I have this completed and the truck stop I keep putting off. Thank you 'Mr_Malfoy' for the Macca's suggestion - I will consider it, but in this updated photo you can sort of see the space for the coffee kiosk/snack bar/cafe-what-ever. In the above photo you will see the start to the ladies fashion store.....so which one is it - you can help decide ? Comments as usual, as well as suggestions are very welcome. Brick On Shop On !

Darth CJ Posted May 29, 2011 Would Peacocks be of any help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 29, 2011 Would Peacocks be of any help? Okay, is there a joke I'm missing here......Peacocks....wait I'll pop over to goggle....right, back now - MEH ! I'm NOT doing a U.K. town......New Mannum is Aussie....green and gold. Peacocks is a U.K. clothing retailer, first thing that popped up on goggle ! But thanks for the comment anyway 'Darth CJ' and keep on watching everyone still more to come tomorrow ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artifex Posted May 29, 2011 The floor lokks beautiful, LT - I like the white. It brings out everything else. Those black you were using had me wondering about the color of the rest of it, and it works perfectly. As for the ladies fashio shop, what about FrockShop or The Wardrobe? Those are the first two to pop up on Google. And there's this Crossroads too. All in all, keep up the great work - brick on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 29, 2011 Thanks for the feedback 'Artifex', black....oh the fittings on the wall are a mixture of dark grey and dark bluey grey. When I build the other side of the store tomorrow I will have a better idea on what name it will carry......keep any suggestion comming (as long as it's real and Aussie Aussie Aussie....you know the rest ! )!

TanTile Posted May 30, 2011 this is looking awesome LT the details are very well thought out with the coffee kiosk why not make it a Donut King? they make coffee and also er.. donuts 2 items for one store plus they are in every shopping center and i would go for the L-shape center, i seem to recall walking in a few like that... with couches put around for the elderly to rest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted May 30, 2011 Looking good and yes the Coffee Club stand in the photo would be a good match for what you have built so far. Better than a Donut King (who's donuts suck anyway :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks 'jonwil' and 'TanTile' for your comments, yep....The Coffee Club it is....see ! I only need to sticker it now !

lightningtiger Posted May 30, 2011 Gee, quite for a third of day on the WHOLE forum ? Ah, well.....today, the wall on this starting section, the flooring and ladies fashion store..I'm now thinking of using Katies or Suzanne Grae - might have to toss a coin or ask a woman's point of view ? Updating in a few hours everyone so keep on watching ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzylegobricks Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Very funny thing I just noticed, I was in sydney a few years back and went to a coffee kiosk just like that one. The update is very great, and the coffee machine is a nice build too. Now where are the cops going to hang out? Must be quite because it is memorial day in the U.S.A Edited May 30, 2011 by Fuzzylegobricks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks 'Fuzzy' for tose comments, yeah the coffee kiosk just came together by scratch-building it piece by piece yesterday. Oh, the police in Oz perfer McDonalds....heck, even the prisoners in the station's holding cells get the choice of Macca's breakfast and lunch/dinner menu ! Brick On everyone, and keep a watchful eye out for more ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocketbilly Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Great work, as always. I have to say your town is one of the most realistic and detailed I've seen and this is just another great addition to it. It looks believable and that's a great use of those big glass canopy pieces. If only our shopping centres looked like this in the UK. The outside detailing is grand and the coffee stand is a great detail - small in comparison to the rest of the MOC but I think it really makes it - I can taste coffee just looking at it!...ok, I can taste coffee most of the time, I'm nigh enough addicted to the stuff....but I'm sure you get my point. As you say...I'm a conformist!....and whatnot! *reason for edit: what witchcraft is this? looks like a certain well used phrase of yours has been blacklisted...

lightningtiger Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks 'laka' and 'rocketbilly' for your comments, and remember we are NOT comformists.....Fight The Power (Public Enemy) ! Oh, yeah.....quick update and you can see more how this is going to look. Still more to come and keep on making those comments.....Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzylegobricks Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Can't wait for the car park, remember plants, and always a parking fee. Do I see a fire alarm outside? (red with blue light) Edited May 31, 2011 by Fuzzylegobricks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
