    It's just about the coziest MOC i've ever seen. I love that it feels so complete just through good use of shape and color, without needing super complicated detailing work. Storefronts, donut sign, apartments, it's all great. The feeling of an older building trapped under new construction jumped out at me immediately, and as tragic as that storyline might seem, the whole thing is so cute that it doesn't feel depressing. Also the custom stickers are awesome. I also didn't realize the images were renders until i got to the internal shots with heaps of bloom lighting. Computer graphics are scary sometimes.

    Weather unit? makes me wanna try to make a brickbuilt tornado. they'd need something to report on. maybe my old millenium falcon's grey plates should be re-inarnated as a tornado MOC...

    News feels like a theme that could have its own mini line. Four or so sets of different local reporting scenes and the big station.

    Ohh it's like a window into my own future when I have the space to build a lego work station. So cool.

    Yep I'm in. This neighborhood gonna get weird.

    It is odd for me to see this set mentioned in the town section, because if it's minifig scale I'm putting galadriel in the middle of the thing, adding some stonework, and calling it Lorien. Well.... Or my modular street gains a weird new neighbor. Rent got too high. The youth are living in trees now.

    Still really excited for this theme. I'm gonna need to give old fishing store a hidden side treatment to go with the generally swampy feel of these sets. Something reaching out from under the pier probably.

    City just seems to be the brand for "kid's playsets set in approximately the contemporary real world." I guess lego believes this is a useful marketing umbrella. Maybe they'd feel pressured to ratchet up the wackiness if they made standalone exploration themes, and that someone believes they can only get away with making realistic scientist types under the city branding. The explorers sub-themes are really the only one I'm curious about, though. Other categories are whatever. Grouping police fire airports etc makes sense. Though I do want more locations and fewer vehicles, ofc. So many sets contain tiny chunks of scenery I'd like and vehicles that I don't want to add to the vehicle hoard.

    I've been looking at the guilds of historica threads for a while but all that information has been pretty intimidating and I haven't tried to participate yet. I do have some ideas for standalone castle-related mocs though.

    Love the idea of throwing a mural on an exposed wall. I wanna make one too, so I can hang it on any exposed modular-sides in my street

    Oh cool someone finally finished the bills with real bricks. It looks great. Looks like it would flow naturally with most of the official modulars too.

    here's the only close image i seem to have taken on my phone. although it isn't a perfect stylistic match, it left me wanting to make a modern modular covered in plants: i feel like there were other drawings in the exhibit of different buildings, but this is the only photo of a building sketch i can find. this was the exhibit: https://www.harvardartmuseums.org/visit/exhibitions/5830/displaying-latin-america of course, if i build any of it, i'm gonna have to shave a couple stories off, and would probably throw some vines in there.

    The right-hand building reminds me of some sketches I saw in a museum exhibit a while ago. I can't remember the architect's name. I'll have to look through my photo collection later. I've been wanting to try to render such a building in bricks ever since. I love how this one turned out.

    @Four Bricks Tall I dunno, some of the Double-Corner-Garage enlarged-building MOCs have looked amazing. I think I'd still want to win one even if I owned it already.
  15. corasaur
    I don't own the set to compete, but i'm gonna have to dig through the website for photography tips. i feel like every photo of my hoarde I've taken so far has been, "everyone look at what a mess my house is!" good luck to the builders that compete. EDIT: Oh. the contest is more flexible than I expected. I'm sure I can come up with something thematic with what I own. I think I was taking "Scenes" literally and expected to be asked to photograph with the garage. Suppose that wouldn't have made a ton of sense given that the garage is the prize.

    That's some heavy subject matter for a lego sculpture. reminds me that this is a flexible medium and not just an outlet to make tiny adorable buildings. if you own a courthouse or prison-like building, i hope the minifigures responsible are held accountable over there.

    my god. pokemon were some of the first things i ever tried to MOC when i was like 8, but they were hideous lumps. these turned out great. even minimalist-faceless-nightmare-pika is great.
  18. corasaur
    Oh man.generals was my first command and conquer as a teenager.wonder if I can find the install cd....

    More like we need a modular apartment building. My lego street shall remain a dense beautiful pedestrian-centered downtown. Cars waste too much space in real cities already.* My lego town will be pure. *American urban planning is a sprawling disaster.

    oh my goodness. i was so distracted by the wall textures and the smokey-snake that I didn't even pay attention to the blades til i scrolled down and read this comment.
  21. corasaur
    Look LEGO I know i said I liked spooky things but some things are just too horrifying to be sold to children. this is irresponsible.
  22. corasaur
    This makes me want to redecorate every building I own into a snow version.

    They're still trying to push OWLeague and have been advertising other overwatch toys. I think they push the brand for at least one more year, though it may not involve lego.

    oh, i was picturing the land curving up behind the house because there were so many houses like that near where i grew up. I guess if you wanna include the basement you'll have to figure out what the set area around the outside of the basement will look like. Might have to build a hill wrapping all the way around the base to conceal the basement level? or let the basement be visible in cross-section from the front? or have a plain surface on the front of the basement that just looks like it's a stand for the model? I'd be a little surprised if the thing broke 10k pieces. If I were doing this, i guess I'd start with the front door, and see how long the front of the house needs to be to feel properly scaled relative to that.

    Have you looked at any official lego sets to see about how large a given piece count can be? modular buildings are a couple thousand pieces to create enclosed buildings with interiors in a minifigure scale. the interiors sometimes feel cramped but IMO the scale looks great from the outside What's the hillside look like? I've seen houses where there was just a slight slope in the backyard, and houses where the backyard was so steep it needed terraced. it could mean really different things for the piece count. i've got this set floating around as an example of a freestanding home with way fewer pieces though: https://brickset.com/sets/4996-1/Beach-House Although if you're investing in a dream-build of your real home, you might want something more intense. You can probably make a pretty good facade of a house with under a thousand pieces? might only get up to thousands of pieces if you get ambitious with textures and interiors and stuff.
