deen Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Some time ago I went to my local toy shop and they were having a closing sale of some of their bricks. I haggled a little with the shop owner and got him to sell me 3 liter bags of bricks for 5 euro's a piece. So i got 10 bags and went home. Here are the pieces I got. I forgot to include the red corner roof corner pieces in the picture. And here's my first creation. A school. I used the doors as windows as well, sticking them behind the openings in the wall Front view Side view Top view. haven't got a picture of the back. It's similar to the front except for the middle part where the entrance is. So what do you think? More creations are coming up.

Zorbas Posted June 6, 2011 I see that this is your first post so despite the fact that you're a member for some time now I'll just say welcome to the posting side of EB. The roof's structure looks pretty interesting deen. The rest of the building looks a bit blocky though, but since you had a small number of pieces to work with when it comes to variety that's understandable. Btw, the photos you've posted are larger than those permitted in EB (800x600 is the limit according to the Member Guidelines). Could you please resize those and post smaller ones? If you don't know how to do so, there's an index of helpful tutorials found in my signature that includes a topic about image resizing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deen Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks for the response. I have resized the pics. Here are another few creations. I also started building a zoo, though I might break it (and the school) down to build an IKEA store as i imagine the citizens of my Lego town are more in need of furniture than monkeys and sharks. Some nice holiday appartments. I cheated a little and added housenumbers next to the doors A 4 story building (maybe a hotel) The buildings next to each other A small square building (I imagine it being a Chinese restaurant, though the colours are a bit off) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeon Posted June 6, 2011 This is some old-school real creativity in work, congratulations! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted June 6, 2011 This is some old-school real creativity in work, congratulations! :) I was thinking the same thing, it looks old but feels new, the apartments are very nicely done, I have some in my city that pretty much look just like that, but in Tan.

LAKAbricks Posted June 10, 2011 Hehehe... You really have got a few doors there... Smart use of the them I really like the apartments, but I also find the use of the red sloped bricks on the hotel very interesting. Nice jobs with these bricks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
