    Excellent coastal/seaside scene still 'Bricksan', neat fusion of ideas for the security hut....keep the improvements coming and Brick On ! :classic:

    Thanks, the biggest and best part of this section of my layout should be done soon and the building is 3000+ pieces so well worth the wait.

    I'm gonna have to disagree with you here. Rejecting the Street Fighter project makes perfect sense, and almost any Lego fan could tell you that it wouldn't get made. The source material contains too much violent and mature content for Lego. It's not good for Lego's target audience. 

    This game back in 1991 was aimed at boys aged between 12-16 and I played when I was in this age range and the violence can come under cartoon violence seen as that what it was but on a game instead of a tv show.

    Hey sorry it's been close to two months but progress on my City Project is coming along well, the CoastguardHQ is 50% complete and is what is keeping me quiet and you will see the results of that building once it is completed. However since my last update in June, i have done a lot of work and added a fair bit:

    Here is an overview of progress so far:

    You will see the following additions to the layout out, the beach minifigure set, paving on the streets are done, the marina entrance complete with ramp, barriers and security hut added. Also the first wave of minifigs has been added as well as Jetski's, the BBQ street vendor and more.

    Here is another view, you can see the transparent blue 1x1 plates that have been added so far, over 700 of the little things are on there but still a fair few to go:

    A close up of the hire hut and jet skies, one is the polybag, the red one if from the Police boat and the black one is a modified batman jetski:

    You can see the shore line and my first few minifigures on the beach:

    Here is a better view of the beach, you will notice the entrance and changing rooms have moved, this was to incorporate the bbq stand better, also added was the phone booth from another City set, plus the paving is done as well:

    I have added more minifigures to the cafe:

    The security hut that is based on the new one from the City garage and the old one from the harbour set, complete with security windows:

    It is not something that I think about as no two buildings are the same. Currently I have started phase two of my project and it features the building that is going to be taller as it requires more floors but based on LDD designs it will fit in nice with it's surroundings.

    Bright Bricks are at it again this time in conjunction with Rolls Royce. Yesterday at the Farnborough International Airshow they revealed the world’s first jet engine to be made entirely of Lego.

    . The engine, which is one of the most complex Lego structures ever built, is a half size replica of the Rolls-RoyceTrent 1000 which powers the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

    The one of a kind Lego structure shows the complex inner workings of a jet engine and took four people eight weeks to complete. Including 152,455 Lego bricks, the engine weighs 307 kg and is over 2 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. Over 160 separate engine components were built and joined together in order to replicate a real jet engine. Everything from the large fan blades which suck air into the engine down to the combustion chambers where fuel is burned, had to be analysed and replicated using the world famous building blocks.
