Hello everyone, even the biggest basement room's space is limited - more limited than what I'd like for all the houses I want to build, so I'm building some as facades only. And I don't need that many bricks. :) Here's the first facade for this wall, the long-established brick dealer Noppe & Co.: (Note that "Noppe" is also the common German word for a Lego stud.) They primarily sell what we know as 1x2 bricks, also in variations: The shop window currently displays sand-blue grille bricks, fancy glitter bricks and cheap remaining stock. Office on the second floor, apartment above. I only built those interior parts that are visible through the windows: At its final place - with space for several more facades: (I should add some decorations to the sidewalk on this traffic-calmed paved one-way road...)

Rather a rehash of 2010, i.e. regional instead of high-speed train.

Given that previous WV sets usually had a mid-September VIP release (and general availability on October 1st), I think it's very likely this will be the case this year, too. And I'd expect it to be revealed before the likely more spectacular Star Wars set.

Great idea and great build indeed!
-
Great arch and great idea indeed! And I also agree that the black parts have a too high contrast; with regard to the arch in St Petersburg, I think dark tan would be the best match. Part availability may be a bit limited, though...

Indeed something different, and it indeed looks great! Gotta use that color myself some day...
-
Really a nice combination of colors and architectural details!

Kickstarter: ME Models Tracks for both metal and ABS only track pieces
cimddwc replied to JopieK's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Never been contacted either. (I had backed some plastic and a metal sample kit.) Frankly, I've kinda written that money off. If I'll receive something after all, I'll be happy, of course, but my expectations aren't exactly high. Obviously I don't plan to purchase anything else from them in the future, either... -
Wonderful indeed, well done!

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

Or maybe they release another 48 studs wide set in 5 years for the 15th anniversary, again for the 20th, etc., and regulär 32 wide ones in between... -
A great hotel with great interiors! The themed rooms are a good idea to use non-City things here, and the pool also looks noble.
-
Really great, inside and outside!
-
Great idea and very well done!
-
Great combination of old and new sections and nice details!
-
It's definitely a small 3-in-1 Creator set like 31015 - the leaked dealer catalog photos confirm that.

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
cimddwc replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
My guess is a 32x32 square with the usual decoration like a tree and statue, but also enough open space for minifigures to assemble and maybe listen to a speaker, plus a 32x32 building that would be expected at such a square. We already had a town hall, so maybe a library or post office in a (neo-)classical architecture. Or, for a further reference to "assembly", a Lego store... -
It doesn't seem to be a full calendar. It says "build and rebuild", so there are not enough pieces to build everything at the same time as with regular calendars. Still, with 210(?) pieces (can't read that properly) you won't have to tear it down every day; certainly a nice GWP.

Really great indeed!
-
It would if each shield code were totally unique, i.e. different codes even in the same sets, and could only be used once. But since it's the same code for the same shield type, there's really nothing to rip off. The box art contains only dummy codes, doesn't it? But they could just google...

Question about brick from upcoming SW Advent Calendar
cimddwc replied to Kalais's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Could also be a combination of with the 1x2 connecting the front section (with the 3x1 slopes) to the rear section (with 2x1 slopes). The 1x1s provide more stability than using only the 1x2. -
I do like the buildings (and I've built some fancy details myself, too), and for itself, the small one does look good in blue, too. I only think that the combination of these two colors next to each other doesn't look that good.
-
Actually, I quite like the color of the main building. (What is it, turquoise?) But it clashes with the blue (azure?) of the small building on the left... Anyway, some great detailing indeed!
-
Really great with lots of nice details!
-
Great station! Nice architecture as well as nice interior! Only the platform could be a bit longer - at least when there's enough space for that.

How about a one-off D2C set in 2018: a modern version of the Yellow Castle for its 40th anniversary? Same overall shape, but tan or dark talk color, modern bricks, details, decorations, building techniques, etc.? Alright, I know I'm dreaming...
