How about a railway shed where local volunteers keep the train maintained, and sell train ride tickets to fund their repairs?

Four turned to stone, in one go.

Perhaps using Lego is childish, having fun, being distracted from the concerns of the world, using your imagination and not being constrained by preconcieved notions. If this is childish that is fine with me.

looks just like the cafe at our botanical gardens, perhaps some hedges or a duck pond.

great work,I have seen this style of roof in the abandoned warehouses in Port Adelaide. You might need even more of those hinges to connect with the roof when filling in the sides.

I managed to pick up a full set of series 3 plus duplicates of my favorites at Target TTP using the bump code yesterday. Some of the codes were difficult to recognise. I couldn't recognise the gorilla suit until I felt that tell tale bannana. -
Perhaps New Mannum would utilise some of historic streets named after paddle steamers: Marion Way: P.S. Marion built 1897-Restored by volunteers: currently moored as part of the dock museum still does regular cruises during the year. Mary Ann St: P.S. Mary Ann built 1853- owned by William Randell. The boiler is housed in the Mannum Dock Museum, a replica sits in the Mary Ann Reserve. Gemini St: Twin Hull P.S. Gemini built 1855 owned by W Randell was twin hull, the larger being the hull of the Mary Ann. Randell had the wheel built in the middle so as to avoid snags ripping the floats. This steamer was used to explore the Darling River Feb 24th 1859 it reached Brewarrina. On the return journey when nearing Wentworth it struck a snag and partly sank, cargo floated in the water. Bunyip St: Twin Hull P.S. Bunyip built 1859 owned by W Randell and John Taylor in 1862 was converted into a stern-wheeler. Randell made his famous trip to Walgett in this steamer, the first to reach there. Later she was tragically lost by fire. Bogan St: Barge the Bogan built 1859 owned by F Cadell registered 1864 W Randell had engine refitted, broke up 1904 Ariel St: P.S.Ariel (aerial) built 1867 by R.Graham at Goolwa owned by W Randall who towed her to Mannum to have the engine installed, and used her for trading up the Darling. She was snagged badly several times, and on one occasion had to be towed from Wentworth to Mannum to go on the slip for repairs. Tyro St: P.S. Tyro built 1872 at Goolwa. Later rebuilt at Mannum. Randell and his son Capt R.M. Randell and Capt Anderson were joint owners. In 1897 she blew up at Mannum but was successfully repaired and finally owned by William Randell’s son, who used her as a passenger and mail steamer running between Murray Bridge, Mannum and Forster for many years. Corowa St: P.S. Corowa built 1876 by James Anderson at Moama. Ruby St: P.S. Ruby built 1876 especially for low water. She was snagged near Wentworth in 1880 and took six weeks to refloat her.

Jester impulse at toys r us today, love the tear face. -
What a great way to exhibit these minifigs. All the big ticket items such as the wave are obviously good, but it is the little details like the wet sand, seagull and towels that show off your talent.
-
Beer and Pizza, I feel there is some cunning manipulation going on here
-
This scene is everything Lego should be optimistic, full of colour and has brought the family together. Congratulations
-
The symmetry of the prison structure and surrounds adds to the success of this great build. Another escape method could perhaps be one of the prisoners dressed as a guard ready to bolt after the photo.
-
Delightful scene Anna Obviously a very hot day and Mr. is sensibly wearing a hat. Is his only shirt in the laundry?
-
Your target store is great,it shows you have made careful consideration to the layout. I wonder do you do little research trips to the real stores looking for inspiration. A little suggestion perhaps split up the red and white buildings of target and iga. I look forward to your next project.
-
I think this one is all about the toys and a bit of fun. Perhaps all the toys will need to be displayed on a sidewalk sale on tables rather than hidden away in the toy departments of our towns.
-
I had not actually meant a real motor or gear, however have you seen the sliding door mechanism on the battle for endor set.
-
Lightningtiger perhaps you could add a motor for that sliding entry it looks pretty heavy for a minifig, maybe a doorbell/ intercom. Also you could add yellow tiles to the sidewalk to warn pedestrians of potential traffic. It's looking good, you have certainly developed your own style, keep up the good work.

On the question if a tomato is a fruit or vegetable. Well it is both. In 1893 in the U.S supreme court Mr Justice Gray in an action by Nix v Hedden. He deliberated on whether tomatoes, considered as provisions, are to be classed as vegetables or as fruit within the tariff act of 1883. Vegetables were exempt from the duty. He found they were vegetables and Nix won the case. Here is my entry Of Justice Gray at the U.S Supreme court with a tomato in hand.

The ice cream vendor's knee length jacket is genius.

Nice job on the glazier truck lightningtiger. Might I be as bold to suggest you add something to hold the glass in place as I have in my glazier truck. I think your overall solution to the angles is very good.
-
well done jaredchan, I realy like the moulding around the middle window on the top floor. It is interesting to hear your reply in regard to the gold plate starting it all. I wonder how many of us are inspired by a particular lego element.
-
Thankyou all for this great opportunity to engage with the eurobricks community. I certainly am surprised and humbled by the support my entry recieved. I think perhaps the concept rather than the build itself led to the interest. The quality of the entries was very good and has inspired me to think more creatively in my building. Thankyou to WhiteFang and everyone involved for this great contest it really has been great fun.

This show was a must see after school hit for me, and your MOC takes me back to after school snacks and the theme music, and of course the coolest car of all time.
