I added some bricks from my spare stock (windows, black and blue bricks). But I tried to use as many bricks from the games as possible. At the end I had used all of the green and lime bricks and tiles.

No interiors yet. I want to have the roofs come off, but I don't have any yellow or white tiles at the moment . So when I get them I will make removeable roofs for the houses. I took a picture of the toy store next to my hospital and the grand emporium. As you can see, I also badly need tiles for the pavement

Thought it was time to update this topic after (almost) finishing my Toy Store (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=74776). To get a little break after that modular, I decided to start building some houses for my suburbs. I wanted my minifigs to live in a simple, quiet neighborhood. I have spent many holidays in Skagen, Denmark, and have always admired the yellow townhouses for the unity they show when put together. Therefore I wanted to base my suburbs on those houses. I have created two fast and simple houses. I want to do about 8-10 and a little church, so I can combine them in different ways. Enjoy! Inspiration 1st house 2nd house And the two combined in different ways

I really like them. Especially the first one, even though the black doesn't show of the nice curves very well.

Thanks for all the nice comments. So I just finished the interior of the ground and 1st floor. As I don't own many spare tiles, I was kind of stuck with the tiles included in the Lego Games. Hope you like it. Entrance Ground Floor 1st Floor

Here are the pictures of the finished exterior of the building. First the finished facade The back A close up of the dumpster And last but not least...... The roof. (I wanted to use a suitable red door, but could't find one at the moment. When I come across one, the white door will be replaced) Those are actually not 1x6x5 panels, but a 8 brick wide wall. I thought about adding big windows there, but thought the windows on the top floors would be enough. Next up will be the interior!

You won't have to wait for long, as I just completed the second floor and the roof. I will post pics as soon as possible. Thanks. It's just a shame it's the dirty version of Lotso. I also hope to use some of the other Toy Story characters to spice up the interior.

Thanks all for the comments. I just finished the thirst floor. Just one more floor to go! Hope you like it.

Thanks! The doors are sliding between two walls, on lime green tiles. No sophisticating techniques used there.. To prevent them from getting stuck in the hole between the walls, they can't be opened any further than shown on the picture.

Okay, 1st update. Last night I finished most of the ground floor. I still need to do the interior and tile the pavement. I have already used 28 microfigs... only 86 to go !! I have tried to use as little pieces, other than the pieces from the Lego Games. Entrance: With sliding doors! Top view Back view Close up of the stairs and back door.

I just visited my local toy store and was pleasantly surprised that almost all LEGO Games sets were on big discount. So I decided to pick up a few to make a modular mostly out of the sets. The shopping list consists of: - 5 Minotaurus. 8 euro each - 2 Ninjago, 10 euro each - 1 City Alarm, 5 euro (it was the only one) - 1 Lunar Command, 8 euro (ditto), 271 pcs - 1 Heroica Fortaan, 10 euro - 1 Heroica Nathuz, 8 euro This all for a total sum of 91 euro's! For 2584 pieces, including 5 green and 1 gray 32x32 baseplates and 114!!! microfigures! So I thought, what better way to get rid of all those hideous microfigures than to build a modular store for them to be sold. I hope to post some pics of the progress during the weekend. Comments and requests are welcome!

Thanks all for the replies. I don't think it is considered modular as it is open backed. By the way, the black guy guarding the club is ' black dynamite'.

Thanks for all the nice comments and advices. I decided to take a break on the harbour to build something else. I always wanted a hospital in my city, but everytime I started one, it just ended up looking like sh*t. Now I finally managed to finish one that I am happy with. Except for the waiting room It hasn't got an interior yet. Enjoy!

I hope to add some bigger boats than the rowing boats. I don't have much experience with building vehicles, especially boats. But I will try my best. I did try to put the Caribbean clipper in the harbour, but as impressive as it looked, it also blocked most of the view of the buildings. An alternative for the emptiness is to reduce the width of the water by 16 studs. That way I would also gain 16 studs of building space elsewhere in the city.

Layout Last building is ready. It's a pizzeria. It's a combination of two existing Lego pizzeria's. I wanted to stay to the real theme of Nyhavn, a lot of restaurants and bars. Next I will add some life and interior to the harbour. Enjoy!

Very very awesome!

The lime building is ready. It's an Ice cream cafe. I found it wrote the word "ice cream" in Danish to give it more of a Danish feel, also it is much more convenient to make. I might add some kind of ice cone in the free space next to the word "is" later. Last building will be red. Any ideas on the content for the building? Enjoy!

Update! I finished the orange building. It's a trendy night club on the ground floor with some nice apartments (again...) on the top floors. Next house will be lime! I get your point. My original reason for using red windows on the green building was my lack of enough white windows for the whole row, and I thought red would look best on the green building. When I get more white windows, I will try to replace the red ones.

Orange it is then. At the moment I'm not planning on a tiled sidewalk. I think it might destroy the classic feel the harbour has got. Also I just think it's too expensive to tile a whole town. Though, maybe sometime in the future when the town is completed, I will tile it.

Got those old windows a lot cheaper on bricklink than the new ones. I just added another building. It's a snack bar and an apartment. Here you go. Next building will either be lime or orange...

I hope to include a couple of boats when the buildings are finished. Just finished my second building. Here are some shots of the first 2 buildings. A Bar/club and a luxurious apartment. Enjoy!

Like my old town, they are open-backed, but the bach will be covered by building poiting to the other side.

Thanks for all comments Sorry about that one. I've fixed it. I just finished the first facade and will be taking pictures tomorrow when there's more light.
