I’m shipping my UCS falcon back to the uk, and to save rebuilding it from scratch, I’ve wrapped all the panels in cling film. I’ve seen some guys do the same for shows too. Was it some form of industrial version of that?
-
Absolutely. I’ve also heard that some folk have been unhappy with the choice of green as a baseplate colour. With the garden out back of a house being mostly lawn, green is about the most sensible colour other than soil brown. I can’t wait to get mine and build a little garden with a BBQ and things.

I agree that it’s a bit smaller than previous ones and next to some of the early modulars they’ll probably look a bit out of proportion. I’ve only got the last 6 or 7 so it’ll probably be fine I hope. Otherwise I’ll have to find a way of making them a little taller at least.

I wonder if we all said the same thing about the pet shop? Sadly I don’t have one to compare it to. -

I assume you refer to the ones common in the nexo knights sets. A book shop full of them would definitely up the part count. Probably more realistic to have a few of them, and then 1x2 printed tiles, placed at the top of stacks of regular plates. That’s the sort of thing we’d see in bookshops in Europe. -

Ok, Assuming its a bookstore/library, What’s going to be the secondary shop. The optometrist idea that was floated before has merit, but seems a little obvious. The secondary businesses have been anachronistic to the primary in the most recent modulars. I mean, gym over recording studio over a diner. Vets above a garage. I hope the style is at least interesting, and not so ‘plain’ as i found the garage to be. -

It’s more likely to be a gift with purchase item, perhaps by February. They’ll want to check things carefully first -
I totally agree, and it’s probably cheaper than buying the parts separately, especially with the sales opening up about now.
-
Thanks a million @Jerry McGlade. A dig into my parts bin will be underway shortly.
-
I’d love to see how the mechanism works for this. Any photos of that around? thanks
-
Thanks for the idea. I’m going to have to contact them now anyway as I’m a part short. My first in a long time. Oddly it’s not one of the small bits, and super common so I could substitute it from spare stock. (1x4 light grey brick)

Likewise. I rarely see them discounted. -
Unfortunately living in Switzerland Amazon and eBay Shipments usually incur extra tax at customs making a small purchase much more expensive. Its so annoying.

There’s been a lot of food and drinks places over the years. We’ve also had pet shops and vets, dance studios and music instrument shop. Recording studio too. We’re missing a place for the mechanic to buy his tools. Perhaps a hardware store and newspaper stand/small corner store, although not on a corner. Obviously since we had a corner last time.
