    It had the same effect on the visitors of Legoworld, who mostly didn't know what a nice city Dordrecht is.

    The city in the middle of all the above cities would be Nuremberg in Bavaria.

    Mine is chrome gold on the inside and outside.

    For me, the brown colour would be the only good thing of Enlighten track. Track is brown in reality, not grey as Lego wants us to believe.

    It is not impossible to have a train station in a modular layout:

    Is that studs or centimeters?

    The parts of the oldest two (4886 and 4956) contain both a type of door that is exclusive to this set and the café corner set. And the other door from set 4956 also appears in Market street. This makes both parts (and thus the sets) significantly more expensive.

    And another thing is that Lego designers can't use all the retired parts that moc builders can. There are many more retired parts than the one or two new parts a designer can use in a new set, so this is an advantage for moc builders.

    To answer the question in the title: in a legal sense it is acceptable (assuming it's your own Lego and not mine), but in a religious sense it is complete heresy.

    You should really go for the single flying butress, it is much better architecturally and aesthetically. And your cathedral is really starting to look like the real thing, unlike many cathedral mocs one finds on brickshelf or flickr.

    Long OR wide?? I assume every ship that's more than hundred studs wide is a couple of hundred studs long, and otherwise the width is automatically the length.

    You are both right. Streamlining saved them from 2004 on. But they would already have gone bankrupt some years earlier if it hadn't been for Star Wars, Harry Potter and Bionicle. They made their hugest losses in years without a new Star Wars movie coming out. BTW, do a google search on 'Poul Plougmann´. This will clarify some things.

    That's all very nice, but I'm already a member of the official organisation against counterfeit Kiddicraft

    Honestly, you're way too young to have experienced a dark age

    Can it be this part?

    It really fits in very well in a modular street. Although it is a completely different kind of structure, the level of detail is the same. Very well done. And always nice to see a MOC that is related to the Netherlands.

    If my Lego room were 100 m2 and my money and time endless, then I would have country next to my town. Now I think I can better have a nice little part of a town, than a mishmash of both.

    I encountered this too. Some 30 year old large technic tires (the oldest, soft type) I own are like glued onto the rim.

    I think you don't appreciate the time difference involved. You are talking about the Star Wars sets, which started end of the century. I was talking about the era of the first Lego people (Duplo, maxifigs, stiffies), which were introduced around 1974, also a quarter of a century earlier. Lego didn't use flesh at all as a colour then. It would have stood out as very odd. Even colours like grey and green were very sparsely used. So the only light colours they had were yellow and white, and they used yellow for system and white for Duplo, and the occasional red for the stereotypical indians.

    Lego is lying when they're claiming they chose yellow because it's a neutral, non race specific colour. Because, why did they release this set in the same period they chose this colour? And yes, even an early minifig with red skin is included. My opinion is, that they chose yellow, because in the colour palette of that era (we only had white, black, red, yellow and blue bricks then) it was the colour that most resembled the white skin colour of most Europeans. For the same reason they made blue rails, because it was the best colour for metal.

    I think you should consult a doctor if this is a problem for you, or are you eating way too much?

    31026 Bike Shop & Cafe can be opened, so no modding needed if you want open backs.

    It would be appropriate if Jordan Schwarz designed this set, because he himself just looks like a detective from the thirties.

    I have collected many sets, recently mostly from the seventies and eighties, assembled in one big Legotown, but I also have a Lego Town that's only moc. They lay peacefully next to each other.

    Handles next to the doors of my tram. It puts a little bit too much stress on the clips I've put them into, which will be a problem for later use.
