Posted a quick photo to highlight the tunnel

A quick photo to highlight my WIP tunnel and Thomas MOCs. Building out a larger layout for a train show in April 2023. ----------------------------- Train modeled after @ScotNick's design. Some behind the scenes photos of the tunnel and train separately. You can follow overall progress on the display in this thread:

Lovely job! I like the ground texture a lot, and like I mentioned on Discord the upsidedown curved arch slopes do a great job framing the yellow sections (which pop!)

Happy Holidays!

Fun one

Fun little digital collaboration with BricksByPidy on a virtual version of my Naval Intelligence Office, Port Woodhouse build. You can see a bunch of other views on the instagram link: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm306qQrC1f/

Made some progress on a tunnel entrance module. Will finish the top later

I quickly realized it would be cost-prohibitive to use real TLG printed tiles for the sleepers, so these are Chinese-made ones - you can see the 'Made in China' bag in one of those pics above! Also using knockoff baseplates underneath as those will be completely covered up and it seemed like a waste of a "good" baseplate. Keeping the rest of the pieces for this build official TLG. Hoping to finish up this tunnel entrance this evening

Made a little progress last night on some MILS plates using big 8x16 and 10x20 bricks

Thanks!

Great job! I love the little blue ornamentation and the mast as a flagpole. Double doors in front are fun.

Thanks guys! I usually part out any sets I get from LUG meetings and give my kids the parts I don't want like big vehicle bases. When I saw these digger scoops, though, and weighed if they could possibly be useful - the only thing I could come up with was a castle wall!

Thanks guys! Did you see the new jazz club set has an upright bass? It could probably pass for cello if someone was bowing it

Great job! Very cool to read about these on Wikipedia. Love the inclusion of the broken rb tiles. A from me for GoC

Thanks guys!

Thanks guys! The little 1x1 plate with the house print on it comes with the CMF 23 Elf figure (in a little snow globe!)

As winter sets in among the hamlets that dot the northern reaches of Corrington, townsfolk hunker down to live off the bounty of the year's harvest.

"Winter Kingdom" After I got the CMF 23 elf with the tiny stud houses, I knew I needed to try a little winter village with them! Also thought it would be fun to try backhoe buckets as castle walls.

Great looking figs! Nice job on the building and details

Ads seem better this week. Last week they were attached to the bottom of the browser window and this week they appear below the forum contents at the bottom of the page. Much better.

Brickset has ads for not-logged-in people, but members don't see them. Wonder if something like that could work here

Great! We got it installed today
