lightningtiger Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) A mall this size, you mustn't forget a Lego Store UNCLE ! Again, yes....yes.....I'll put in either a toy department in the front of the Target or expand again with another Toyworld store that would happen to have a Lego sale on ! Just let me do some more work to the Target customer service area, flooring and the newspaper kiosk across from the Target. More later on today....keep on watching !

lightningtiger Posted June 11, 2011 Quick Target update. More to come.....comments welcome and keep on watching ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Dam, I forgot to ask a question....the entrance to the Target will be tiled white, but should it tiled white 2x2 or 1x4/8 tan tiles to look like timber flooring or pastel coloured plates to look like carpet for the rest of the store ?

LegoCityMann Posted June 11, 2011 Dam, I forgot to ask a question....the entrance to the Target will be tiled white, but should it tiled white 2x2 or 1x4/8 tan tiles to look like timber flooring or pastel coloured plates to look like carpet for the rest of the store ? 1x4/8 tan tiles to look like timber flooring gets my vote. Looks great and brick on lightningtiger!!! ~LCM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 11, 2011 1x4/8 tan tiles to look like timber flooring gets my vote. Looks great and brick on lightningtiger!!! ~LCM Some Target stores do use this kind of flooring, but cost is a dollar a length either 4 or 8 long and 50 2x2 white tiles is only 10 bucks....I'll have to calculate and measure up the areas and see, but everyone can still have their say. Thanks again 'LCM' for your input......Brick On everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sisco Posted June 11, 2011 I'm simply in love with your shopping center. It looks wonderful, even in the WIP stage! I like your Target logo design a lot. I'd have had trouble coming up with that. And all your shops and stores... I look forward to watching your progress! Simply superb. And on the subject of flooring for Target... I think that white would look just fine. And if it's more affordable, then you can do more in your stores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 11, 2011 Thanks 'cralegoboy' for those kind words and comments, oh that Target signage or the actual Target ha,ha...will be double...yep, another one made to go outside in the carpark on a monster outdoor sign advertising the shopping centre and a convex section of wall where the the circles are now to display Target and I might even make a smaller Target symbol too ! So that's one vote for timber look and one vote for white glossy ceramic tile look.....come on everyone you can have your say ? Keep on watching ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icy brick Posted June 12, 2011 Vote to the white floor ! It will look so great LT love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 12, 2011 Okay, thanks 'icy brick'.....I actually went to a modernized Target today - the pathways between departments and around the checkouts are tiled white or white-ish and the departments use timber flooring, but then again money talks - the lack of money that is ! Now some fresh views, speed hump in the driveway now ! Keep those comments and ideas comming please.......keep on watching ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artifex Posted June 12, 2011 I hope TLG hires you, Lightning Tiger... I hope so much they do it! You bring all the classic town flavour using nowadays techniques, and it just look brilliant. Brick on, my friend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 12, 2011 Thank you 'Artifex' for your kind words, I won't be able to make any more improvements to the whole creation until Tuesday....public holiday tomorrow so Toy Corner is closed and I need flooring (tiles). But keep those comments, ideas and suggestions rolling in - thanks ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightningtiger Posted June 13, 2011 For the food court, I'd like to have a McDonalds & a neighbouring KFC! Hmmm, KFC.....yes, I'll look into that either in the foodcourt or out in the car park near a service station. Thanks 'BrickWild' for your input, keep them comming everyone !

icy brick Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) I was looking your new mannum town centre this morning and thought how this would look beside the new mannum. I know, I know you said this will be outskirts of the town with the ford dealership, but trying to make your mind change you could expand your town and put railtracks go behind the shopping centre. Plus put blue baseplates to areas where no tracks or road etc. Just hope :) Edited June 13, 2011 by icy brick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 13, 2011 Now 'icy brick' the plan is the old town centre stays where it is, across from the bank will now be the Ford dealership, then just past that this mega-creation of mine. The train track I'll worry about when I enter the next Railshow in 2013. Keep those comments etc., comming in ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted June 13, 2011 Wow, that's some progress you are making. I like the Target. Those windows are really cool. Also a nice idea for those speed bumps. I only wonder if they are not too high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 13, 2011 Thanks for the comments 'Man with a hat', actually the speed hump is modelled on a few I have driven over where people can walk over the top of just like a walkway. Money is tight at the moment so improvements will have to be made in sections and patches, but there will be another update in the next 10 hours....fingers crossed. Comments etc., still welcome.

lightningtiger Posted June 14, 2011 Sorry, I have to let you all down today.....no work done on it today, tomorrow (S.A. time) I be back on the case. Also I'll be going over some of New Mannum's buildings.....some of the latest (a few months old designs/redesigns) might have to go or be merged together or something just to save space and parts too !

lightningtiger Posted August 10, 2011 Now it's been a while between drinks on this particular creation of mine, I have started the redesign of the shopping centre. On the right side of the mall starts at the Vodafone kiosk, then the Lowes menswear store, next Katies ladies fashion. On the left side on the mall the Mister Mint key cut/shoe repair kiosk, the Coffee Club, then Target. Only the right side has begun, any suggestions or comments feel free as always ! I'll try and get some fresh photos up of the changes tomorrow (11th Aug.)....Brick On everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
