Nice concept! Resting against the table edge should really help, especially on smaller spans. Was thinking of using something similar for next year's displays, as moving a display from venue to venue usually means dealing with unknown/variable table heights. Was trying to think of a way of using the minifigure baseplates as "cladding" for my bridge, but haven't got beyond a few sketches yet. Will post any progress.

Nice work, Tony - that blue looks stunning!

[MOC] Manchester Brickadilly Station
BricksMcgee replied to Paperballpark's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Excellent re: Brick - see you there! Working on Fairy Bricks stall on Friday and will have a wonder around on the Saturday. Are you planning more scenery etc, or is the project done now the station is complete? -

Looks great, Jamie. Really impressive in size and execution. Is it going to Brick in London too? -
Really nice build - so many little details and good techniques.

Truly breathtaking build. Any videos of the finished loco in action? Brick on! -

Incredible. You've managed a great deal of detail at that scale! -
Brilliant build! And a great subject, too.
-
Nicely captured the design there - the nose looks great! And that windshield piece is perfect. " " ;)
-
Very slick - and the use of the PF lead in the design of the lamppost really works well!
-
I used to have quiet a few. They are more realistic but I enjoy LEGO more, but there's still a lot LEGO railway modellers could learn from traditional modellers - more natural landscapes and track layouts, for instance.
-
Agree with this, I started and gave in for now, would rather build something more exciting!
-
Nice, works well at that scale!
-
Welcome back to LEGO! Nice city, looking forward to following its updates.
-
As an aside, nice ballast technique for corners. I use the Brickish technique (see this PDF of Brick Issue magazine, issue 10) but it seems fairly weak for transporting, whereas yours looks sturdier; wonder if their corner ballasting technique uses fewer pieces than the above?
-
Yep, this covers it ;) Had some traditional model trains as a kid, and had a few LEGO trains too. Just carried on from there. Really like that I can take stuff apart and rebuild if I get bored (not that I do!), and I can fairly easily change my track layout/scenery if I want to.
-
Brilliant rock work - looks very natural.
-
No problem. Don't forget to post whatever you build for us to look at :) Really does - great tool. The budget/inventory tool is particularly neat.
-
The ship is really well done - some great part usage. And the lighthouse looks fantastic too - the slight discolourations of the red panels (or perhaps it's just the light?) really help add texture.
-
Nice - the colour/texture change from water to damp sand to sand works really well!
-
I use BlueBrick: pretty nice and easy to use, and allows baseplate/zone planning like the larger LEGO train clubs too.
-
Lovely. Like the bay window at the side - nicely done!
-
Good looking design - could happily have 10 or so of these behind a loco on my layout :) Grey one looks particularly good to me!
