The Yellow Brick

I will add more vehicles and minifigures to the city but I'm really lacking cars. Most of them have been destroyed for pieces and I'm planning to make alot more, The cars which I have are mostly red and yellow so I plan to make some different coloured ones.

Thank you enrgie and Igorando I finally got around making the back for the bike shop so here it is - I had some grey window frames left over from the old city fire station so I decided to use them on the back. I think it looks okay. what do you think? I added a side door which leads to behind the counter. The interior has remained the same but I will add a few more things into it. I'm also planning to patch up that massive gap at the end of the garage. It doesn't look very nice with it just open. C & C welcome as usual. Also according to lego S@H the order has been shipped so it might arrive on the 3rd or 4th June (Hopefully)

It should be on the main page of the city website.

Youtube review of the marina -

Legocrazy81 here are the pictures of the bike shop - I must admit I haven't been paying much attention to this building over the past couple of months and I said quite along time ago that I was going to do something to it but never got around to doing it. I will be hopefully adding a back to it.

The Lego City website has been updated with the new harbour sets and a commercial. ( Here )

They probably will at some point as most of the licensed themes have had them. Eg - Star wars, Indiana jones, Toy story and Prince of Persia which only lasted for 1 year not many sets were released so PoTC will defiantly have them.

I have thought of building a shopping centre in the past and it's something I'd really like to build. but my city is probably too small to have one and plus I already have the Grand emporium which really acts as the towns main shopping centre. When I get around to building the lower level of my town I could make one to go there.

I'll get some pictures up tomorrow for you. I do have a separate topic somewhere about that shop but I did change it abit when I put it in the city. Yep. I'm always planning ahead in my city. I might change the modulars around when the pet shop arrives as the sizes are different and the colour schemes.

I know I said I'd post a picture update when the new sets arrive but these are just some shots showing some changes I've made to it recently - Larger version The Farm - I've made a few changes to the farm and the first one is the layout. Moved the stables next the blacksmiths and moved the cow shed next to the road. I've raised the land on the other side of the windmill. I think it looks better as the track has that sinking feeling compared to the hight of the bricks. Another view of the farm Other areas of the city - I've added a tree next to the garage as it looked abit plane. also added windows on the side to make it look like an actual building. The pond in the middle has changed slightly, I thought it looked quite plane so I added some tree's and flowers around the edges. I still think it looks abit boring so any suggestions on how to improve it then do say. Oh and if you look carefully you can see that the train station parking area has moved back onto that space which used empty. Now there is more room for the cars to turn around. A small map showing the city is decorated with flowers. C & C are welcome as always. Next update will hopefully include the new sets.

Okay I haven't been very active over the past couple of days as I have been very busy. We contacted lego about the order and said that it never went through so I had to re-order everything again. however this time it's abit smaller. I will be getting the pet shop, marina, lighthouse and the fishing boat. I am planning to order the harbour after my birthday when I hopefully get abit more money. It would be funny if they all arrived on my birthday which would kinda be like buying myself my own presents So now onto the City. nothing hasn't really happened in there lately but today I've been adding a few extra things into it. Currently I'm attempting to give the pond a better look by adding some more flowers, benches and probably some trees dotted around the sides. That will most likely be finished by the time the new sets arrive. Now there is some bad news. I will have to dismantle half of my city as the roof is leaking onto the farm so we are having a new window fitted in and hopefully the leak will be fixed. That will happened sometime in the summer and hopefully the workmen don't destroy any of my city otherwise I won't be very happy. Thank you mrblue, The wheel idea sound good so I might try to put that in. to keep the track in place I'm currently using blu tack. Thats only temporarily but I will be using nails sometime in the future when it's finished, I also keep them in place with plates connected to buildings. nothing to complicated. P.S - I'll post a picture update once the new sets arrive.

Happy birthday Siegfried Enjoy your day!

Will you be including the MOC's which have been entered in the past (and present) Collectable minifigure contests? Plus nice work on the index Rufus. It's looking great so far .

Now I wasn't expecting to see that underneath all of that . All those explores need are few windows and doors and they will have themselves a great holiday home . I've enjoyed seeing this expedition and I am hoping to see you do something similar to this in the future.

Nice work Horry . The catamaran looks great, using the snot on the side is something I would have using when making mine. But theres one thing you could do to your's is building on the sides which would give you a bigger cabin or a bigger space for your minifigures to sit. The other boats are great aswell. I love the swan paddle boat. It's so cute

Brilliant scene Hoexbroe The whole thing is just fantastic. I just love a good chase scene and you've captured it perfectly. Once again nice work and those cars look awesome!

Welcome to Eurobricks WHISKEYshadow. You have any favourite themes...? Enjoy the forums and see you arround

This is just awesome Lego Amaryl. I've always loves these types of trucks made on Lego. At the choicemof colours really suit on what they are selling. great work

Still no sign of the new sets being delivered so I'm gonna e-mail lego and try and find out why they haven't arrived yet. But I have done something to the city, I've moved the Ice cream parlour to the space where the wind turbine used to be. It's a lot better and it's in a better place. I'll post pictures of some of the other things I've done to it tomorrow. I'm also thinking of doing somthing to the pond in the middle but I don't know what, so any suggestions on what I can do to make it look more attractive then do post them.

Thanks for the review. I actually own the last version of this set and it's been in pieces for a couple of years, so I can't really say which is better. But by just looking at it the new design is a lot better. but the old one had a lot better pieces included like the printed slopes with pillows on them. Can't wait to buy this set

I can actually see it lasting a lot longer. I mean it's such a beautiful set and I would imagine TLG would want to keep it available longer. But if it does go in 2 - 3 years I'm sure it will be on eBay for a slightly higher price or lower price, Thats if you mange to find one at a low price

These cars are absolutely brilliant The design of them are great and the detailing are really nice. Looking forward to seeing your future work.

Welcome to Eurobricks Fraden Enjoy the forums and see you around.

Brilliant Van GabryS The sliding door function is great and some of the details you've added are great.

Brilliant MOD Frogstudio The colour scheme is great and I love the animation. Once again great work!
