Brickviller V2

While I do think it's a shame they used the Rebel Stormtrooper design instead of the more realistic ones, I do understand why they used them. The stomtroopers in Rebels have a different look, much like the clones in The Clone Wars. This is probaly due to the artistic style, since the Rebels TV show isn't about looking realistic, but more about the animation style they've choosen. Lego probaly doesn't use the cartoony Clone Wars style head prints anymore because I think they realized they were very weird looking next to the normal figures (and gave many kids nightmares). So yeah, to me they are in-universe the same, even though the figures don't look the same.

Nice! The train station makes a good homage to the older yellow and red metro stations. Really like what you did with the limited space.

Great work on the train! I really like the gold details. The coach is cool too, and I like the detailed interior of it. The station is very impressive as a project itself. Great work, will defenitly want to see the end result.

Maybe a little off-topic but since it's a 2017 set, has anyone noticed how the new first order battlepack speeder took inspiration from an unused concept of the Force Awakens?

Hi everyone, Several years ago I got one set of the famous Horizon Express. But 2013 was a period I came into a small dark age. Most of my Lego City sets were sold off, including the train itself. Now after several years I´m slowly coming out of the dark age. I am planning to make a new city somewhere in the future, but currently I lack the space for any Lego creations. So most of those have to be stored in a box under my bed. My starting point for a new city was a large modular styled train station. As you can see here it's still under construction so minifigs can't enjoy it yet. New Canalview city station WIP Ofcourse I also wanted to have a nice train running around in this new city. I have bought the City high speed passenger train, but felt it was a little too simplistic to go with the new modular styled train station. Another option was creating my own passenger train. But that would take a lot of time, and I'm not really a train builder. Then I remembered the gorgeous Horizon Express that I used to have. I started up my computer and went searching for a second hand copy. It turned out the aftermarket was even more expensive then the original set! Two sets would cost me around € 400,- which is way too much for me. Also two sets would be really long, even too long for the new train station. But after that I wasn't going to give up, I browsed almost all Lego catalogues for more inspiration for the new train. Then I came across an old 12 V set which I really liked as a kid because of it's colors and attention to detail. And then it struck me, why not combine the Horizon Express with the color of the older 12V set? After researching for parts on BrickLink it turned out that a red/black version of the horizon express could be build! After scrambling my own parts for it and calculating it turned out the be much cheaper than buying two new Horizon express's. The result can be seen here: More high res pictures here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/145979506@N07/ There are some changes to the original, like the shape of the lights, the number of cars and the windows of the passenger cars. I like it kinda better this way. It still needs an interior, but I'm happy with the result for now. Also, I'm planning to add real lights to it so it can drive at night too. Hope you like it as much as I do! If you have any suggestions or comments please let me know!
