WIP: Car Museum (10211 MOD) + SNOT plate street system
Pencil_42 replied to ER0L's topic in LEGO Town
That's a neat idea for the road! As much as I like the old style road baseplates, they just aren't wide enough for the new 6+ wide vehicles. Have you give any thoughts to curves? Curtis -
Thanks! The lights would probably look better with a 1x1 tile instead of a cheese slope on top, but that's what I had in that color.... Curtis

Thanks for the comments! It was a fun build, and the kids seem to enjoy it. The African Queen would be a neat boat to build, wouldn't it? It's amazing the lifespan of these old steamers sometimes..... Curtis

Built out of the wreckage of the Black Pearl (lost at sea under the helm of a neighbor's 4-year old), here is a model of a turn-of-the-(last)-century freighter. I had wanted to do a freighter in LEGO ever since seeing plans of a steam schooner in a magazine some time ago, but finally got around to it :) And besides, my daughter was running out of space inthe LEGO rowboats for all the gear to take along on an expedition, so this solved that problem, as well! It has operating hatches and a crane, for loading those really heavy items. And a detailed interior....

Thank you, lightningtiger! I like to call them 'Cozy Ponies' Thank you, soccerkid6! Thank you, Leela! I wasn't a big fan of the large panels they used for the trailer, so that's where I started the moc. Curtis

Nice ship! It's very colorful and bright, and a neat use of the sailing ship hulls!

Here’s my entry into the Friends SoF contest – Mia's pickup truck with horse trailer. This truck and trailer has room for two minidolls, their horses, and miscellaneous gear - allowing a truly Friendly horse riding experience :) Features include working doors, working tailgates, and cargo capacity for hay and/ or riding gear: With the tailgates down; showing the cargo: Finally, the top of the trailer easily comes off for access to the horses: Thanks for looking!

Nice job! Every one of your cars has multiple ideas and parts usages. They are all great inspirations! Curtis

Thank you! Perhaps TLG will start broadening the torsos and legs available :) Thank you! The door attachment isn't as sturdy as I'd like, but it was a fun experiment :) Curtis

Off road fire rescue truck; modified from set 7942. I though the original looked like a bug with the wheels sticking out as far as they did... In addition to widening it to fit two Friends across, I added opening doors. The trailer is unmodified from the set.
