Yep, you nailed it! It looks fantastic.
-
It looks good and I like the amount of greebling you've included.
-
Digging this! I like the lettering on the facade and the general color scheme. The interior is chock full of some lovely looking builds. Thanks for sharing it with us!
-
I saw the thread title and immediately thought of Dan Dann the Lavatory man from Carry on Screaming so thanks for that! This is an good looking recreation of the facilities. I like the stained glass above the doorway and you've captured the shape (but not the grime) of the urinals.

You've managed to create some superb lines to the vessel. Excellent!
-
There you go with your obsession with hipsters again OTW! As for the MOC it's a very refreshing change from the modulars we've been seeing recently. The scope and architecture you've chosen makes it look like it would belong in any Lego city, but it looks very different from the generic. The curved wall is well executed, the interior is fantastic and the roof top terrace is delightful. I like it a lot.

The pictures look incredible, but having had the opportunity last night to see it in real brick they really don't do it justice. This is a superb build.

HOG Blades! Fantastic.

Street Car / Tram I've been working on this for a while and to be honest I've struggled with scale. It started as a six-wide, got rebuilt as a seven-wide (fragile), then rebuilt again as an eight-wide (it looked enormous, but was structurally robust). Then I went back to a six-wide and added a 9v motor. I've also gone through a couple of iterations of window sizes - from 2x2's to 2x3's and back to 2x2's. But something still didn't quite look right so in the end I Bricklinked an order and built two versions so I could see them side by side and compare them. Here's the 6-wide version. It's powered by the 9v motor. Here's the 7-wide. It's currently unpowered and sits on a false bogie, but is easily modded to hold the 9v. And here's a comparison shot of the two together. So which one do you think I should send to the inventory bins? and which one should I use? Or should I scrap them both and start again? Comments, criticism, and ridicule most welcome.

Excellent textures on the stone walls and I like the variety you've introduced to the white plaster walls on the upper story. Looks really good!
-
I'm still thinking that the drill pipe is so light that a good approach would be use the negative space under the baseplate and 'push' it up in synch with the rocker rather than pull it from above, but I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Thanks peeps! The opinions have been counted and you've convinced me to go for the 7-wide version. I'll widen the 6-wide so that I have two carriages. I keep telling you OTW there's no hipsters in my town, no gentrification, and no urban renewal ....just a dodgy looking Tram system. I think you're right about that, but my problem is that I wanted to be able to couple the two together and with the 9v motor placed centrally the ends of the carriage swing out dramatically around the curves/switches. That coupling currently needs to be about six studs in length - if I lengthen the carriages by another two studs then that coupling will be even larger. I'm going to have to think about that, but thanks for all the comments!
-
It's not based on any specific Street Car/Tram. I was aiming for the look and feel of an older, generic European one.
-
Well you're half right and coincidently 'flagrant plagiarism' are my middle names Thanks for the kind words, but that's what this community is for - it's to show techniques and to get people to build. Your Nodding Donkey looks awesome by the way and isn't it a fun thing to build!
-
Sweet ride! It looks like it means business.
-
Yep, I confess I LOLled at that.... Good looking microvan.
-
Very effective! And, no you haven't used too many spikes - it suits the style perfectly.

I can't speak for Lego Dino 500, but the symptoms they described are what I experienced. I'm using Chrome (up to date 40.0.2214.94 64-bit) on a MacBook Air running OS/X Yosemite 10.10.2 Eurobricks is the only site I have experienced these issues with.

I've had a three of these hijack the browser (two his morning) when I tried to enter the Town forum. They were links to opendownloadmanager.com ^^ Don't go there.

Excellent looking vignette. I especially like the flooring technique.
-
I was wondering if you'd build something to pull the Caravan! Sweet ride,
-
Excellent Caravan Macsergey! I really like how you've managed to incorporate an interior and that external storage locker is ingenious. Happy trails!
-
Instantly recognisable. Sweet build.

Excellent! I think the 10-wide is exactly the right scale for these and you've used some good looking SNOT techniques. -
Thanks droomangroup Wow! That looks so much better than the version I'd used before (for my Harry Potter Knight Bus sourced 7-wide Caravan) Here's a link to that thread. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=96636 I'm going to have to order some of the those ski-poles.
