Certainly! Here's a thread with all my town vehicles. My link If you would like additional pics I'd be glad to take some.

Bolt acquired a Stig for test driving during development of the Python sports car. I was left with more white pieces than I thought I would be so I think I might do a "mini-modular"(stackable?) Bank. I loved the red bank sign so I kept it intact and set it aside. The cramped interior of the original Bolt was driving me crazy. I also added the blue line wrapping around the top.
-
Update: got bored with the bank so I decided to repurpose the pieces for my dealership. I still need tiles for the sidewalk, but the interior is mostly tiled now. No pic of that however, my phone died as I was taking pics. If I had more of the grey/trans light blue 1x4x6 windows I might make it even longer.

None of the TRUs in my area carry modulars either. I went yesterday and they had a BOGO sale but the selection was terrible and the sets that they did have were out of my price range. Even 2011 sets were still normal price. And $60 for an X-Wing? Yikes.

Batman is atop my Fire Brigade with his jet pack watching the town, and Catwoman is on her motorcycle next to the Grand Emporium(which she just robbed)

Great MOC! the sign looks awesome and the brickwork looks great, especially combined with the dark green doors and windows. I'd love to see that garage door in action.
-
Well the subject matter doesn't bother me at all. The stories my friend and I used to make up in our first town would have definitely offended everyone here, it seems, but we had fun. Anyway, the building itself is great.
-
This is far and away better than Stephanie's official car. The colors are perfect, just enough purple and pink to be feminine, but not so much as to make it look too girly. The car itself looks great, as does the original. To me, this screams barbie car, which in this case is a good thing. Speaking of barbie, my sister has a barbie car that looks to be a drop top Ferrari 456. Who knew barbie had such good taste.

I modded the Garbage Truck to give Joe the Garbageman a safer way to hold on to the truck.

The interiors of these are fantastic. I love the arcade and comic book store, the x wing is a really nice touch, and as a Tarantino fan I like Marcellus Wallace's suitcase!

So I moved it around and I'm happier with the way it looks than I thought I would be. here's the unfinished Bank of Legoredo And the bar/apartment that is next to it, there you can see the elevator car. You meet the nicest people on a Tauntaun The mayor and his most trusted councilman. And this shot was for rriggs

I too was missing pieces in this set, and I don't have a lot of these colors in my collection so its hard for me to just replace them. I believe the piece I was missing was a 1x10 light bley brick, it may have been longer or shorter I can't recall, but it was an inconvenience nonetheless. Like most of you, this is the first set I have EVER had that was missing pieces.
-
No Pet Shop? I have the last 3 that came out, and I suppose I like the look of GE the best, but I also love my FB.
-
I've replaced most of the standard heads with those from my own collection. Some of the torsos they give you are great.

The star wars sets on the shelves in my room are dusty but I haven't really had an issue with the town getting dusty. I've had the PS and Bolt there for a while now and they still seem clean. Funny story though, I guess it was a little over half a decade ago that my grandma got me a big Creator helicopter for Christmas. I built it, but its far too big for any town layout so I put it up on top of my bookcase and have only taken it down a handful of times since. I'd forgotten I had it until I happened to notice it yesterday and it's totally coveted in dust. I'll have to hook up a blower to my air compressor to clean it off.

I really need a larger table to work with and more road plates, but with the space I have now, I could move everything onto one road so my siblings could put their buildings on the opposite side of the street. I'd really love to continue the road off to he left and make a wooded area and have the new forrest police and miner sets out there. I have the vision in my head, its just expensive. @ LT, Yup I'm planning on getting the TH. Most likely for, or after, my birthday in March. I'm thinking ill put that next to the FB, but I'm not sure if I want it between it and the GE or on the other side with the PS on the right and then all my own modulars next to that when they're completed. And good call on the billboard. I was thinking of doing on GE style but I like your idea too, or something printed. @ JackJonesPaw, I'll try and snap some pics of it later, I still have to complete the second floor and sidewalk, but the first floor is complete. @ Artifex, I much prefer building cars than buildings! I originally wanted it to be residential buildings on the PS block and commercial buildings on the FB block, but for the time being I may move them all to one block. @ TheBrickster, here's a little backstory on the name. Growing up, my bestfriend and I were very into Lego. Around 2005ish or so, we began to put a town together. It started small but eventually grew to take up most of his basement. I also had my own small town at my own house. We eventually combined the two in his basement and along with his brother's town, Legoredo was born. Mine was West Legoredo, his was East and his brother's was South. Then as the years progressed and we got older, we drifted apart a bit and both went into our lego dark ages. When I found this site, it rekindled my love for lego and my desire to have a town, so I set about rebuilding Legoredo. It wouldn't feel right if I called it anything but Legoredo. And as for the origin of the name itself, that sign and name just seemed natural for our original town and the wild nature of it. I loved the western sets when I was younger and I still do, but the only one I ever had was the General Store and Bank. I actually rebuilt the general store but don't have room on the table for it and my modular bank uses the door, windows, and clerk from the western bank. And yes, I know she is a keeper. @ Lego 12V, thank you! I tried to do a bit of landscaping along the side to make it somewhat interesting and to show that there will eventually be woods there. I cent take credit for the segway, as I got the idea from a user here, though I cent remember who it was.

Layout I wanted to get some opinions on whether or not I should move the Pet Shop to the right side of FB. I asked my girlfriend, but she doesn't exactly care. Under construction are the bank still and I've started on rebuilding my house to make it a 3 story building with an elevator and a shop on the first floor.
-
I'd have to agree with Dakar, the yellow building takes the attention away from the others. Otherwise though, that is a very nice fire department. I need to do something similar, as Fire Brigade can't handle the size of my department. I'm now debating on whether I should build a second station or just add a building behind my Fire Brigade. Didn't you have a similar looking police station?
-
The dealership I work at is very old and the showroom has a very low roof. A lot of the other dealerships I've been to have a two story open showroom, but with my MOC I went for a single floor with a high roof.
-
I love this! The details are great. Nice use of cheese on the front, the new roof piece, and the exhausts look great even though I've seen and used that technique before. What was your real life inspiration? This says Audi/Porsche to me.
-
Ahh I see, I meant to ask what brand this would be but that answers it. LT's is also a Ford dealer, while mine is meant to be my own version of Ford, Bolt.
-
That makes three of is with blue on white car dealerships! The lot looks great, that's something mine is lacking. I can't wait to see this as it progresses.
-
I had the police variant of this set and it was always a favorite of mine. I always thought it was supposed to be a compact economy car though, nothing about it ever said "sport coupe" to me. Still, I plan on rebuilding one for my town.
-
I like your use of the pieces from the outback racer. That was one of my favorite sets when I was younger and its always nice to see those stickers still applied to the original pieces. And may I join that race? I think my Bolt Python is up to the challenge. In fact, a Eurobricks Grand Prix could be a cool contest.

These buildings are lovely individually, and even more so as a whole. I wish I had the funds to do something like this. FB looks a bit out of place in that scene. It's a bit too American compared to the buildings around it.
