Hello again! Here is my last Western MOC: -------------------GAMBLING HALL --------------------------- Look at the whole building: A few pictures of the sides : When it comes to style building, this time I dont put emphasis on some advanced construction techniques but on a combination of colors. The central part of building is the only a little more technically demanding but with little help of the tiles and turntable plates, it was easy to solve . Several pictures in larger scale plan, details of the facade : Top view: This Western MOC is also done in the spirit of classic Lego sets - opened back side for visitires of exibitions Interior: That"s all folks, I hope you enjoy

This train has quite a past.... The train seen above has been a project of mine in LEGO Digital Designer since 2012. This was the first version from August of that year, and needless to say I bought it and it worked well... on straight track only. So I went back to my drawing board and scrapped the engine. After 4 years of wanting to build it "right" and countless revisions, I (with help from EB users TF Twitch and TheShubes and a lot of parts of Lego sets) have come up with the train seen below. This engine was originally modeled after set 7597 (Western Train Chase) with some design inspiration from TF Twitch's "Humble Sapphire" 4-4-0. The engine also features a boiler copied from set 79111 (Constitution Train Chase) to keep it inline with the rest of my steam locomotives. The rear of the loco features a ladder to the tender-top. These passenger cars were mostly inspired by set 10014 (Passenger wagon) but repainted red instead of green and with fancy part 30613 "Brick, Arch 3 x 6 x 5 Ornamented" on the end of the cars. (link to this part on BL: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=30613&idColor=11#T=C&C=11 ) The whole train together. I might be mistaken, but user TheShubes may have been the one to inspire these coaches with his own red versions of set 10014. Also, if anyone wants to see the structures that go with this train, please see this thread about the station: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=122130 Speaking of stations, the one in that thread was ordered yesterday. -
Life in the Wild Brick West is not easy and keeping order is even more difficult. It's not like in Lego City where a couple of megaphones and torchlights are enough to warrant the law to prevail. In the Wild Brick West if you want to protect honest citizens from brick bandits, stud robbers and outlaw Minifigures you need… The Sheriff Brick Corps This is a very small army, actually it's more a "unit" than an army but since it's rare to see the Wild West setting in the Lego universe I decided to share this little project with you Also, I don't know if this is the right place. I know there is a topic about Castle armies but nothing about Wild West "armies" so I decided to post a new topic. Anyway let me know what you think about this project. Comments are always welcome

Hi So Lone Ranger theme is already gone, for some sadly for some people not. Still, everyone interested has to notice that LR sets were very first Legos set in Widl West since... well... a rather long time... 1997 my loyal imaginary servant tells me, so, there You have it So let's discuss what this theme, both classic 1996-97 Wild West and 2013 Lone Ranger gave us, what great ideas we could find within them and what were/are the possibilities of expansion, of sets, of factions, of major gimmicks could new sets introduce. Well, basically, what would we like to see and play with if TLG was about to release a new Western-based line. So far we have a fort, a mine, indian village, a bit of a city, a covered wagon, LR brought a train ( finally! ) and a stagecoach ( finally! ). So I gues a train station would be a nice addition, well any kind of railway sets. Perhaps a river steam boat. I'd say that should consider splitting indians into TWO factions. It's clear that indiands from classic Wild West sets were somewhat neutral, or simply good guys, apparently there wasn't a single set that would include both Soldiers and Natives! I guess we all know the reason behind this decision. Still, they could get more from Indians by splitting them into traditional GOOD indian faction and... tada!... BAD indian faction, full time bad megablocks, scalphunters. On the other hand, Western doesn't produce as many set opportunities as Pirates and Castle did. It simply can't offer so many types of fortresses, ships, boats etc. Still, deserted "ghost" cities would be a good idea, some hideouts, lumberjacks, trappers, goldminers, caravans with settlers, a donkey/mule would be a great addition to Lego animals, not mentioning a bison of course! ( they did a prototype i've heard! ) Mexicans in their somberos and corrupted army could a nice addition. Perhaps the whole team could expand even farther, to mix a bit of colonial xix century feeling into it - Adventurers kind of thing, only set a little bit earlier, and without cars. Some great fictional sets can be found here: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=15788 http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18994

This MOC was made for "Wild West Trains" Russian LEGO LUG contest. But I have not enough time to finish it to participate. However, Micro-Train! First look: Train. General view. And another. Station in Western style. Train himself. Tender. When does the coal in the tender, it is possible to saw some firewood))) Passenger car... For the carriage of passengers))) Rode the train across the river... "Our engine is flying forward!" (You know the Russian sequel?) Staged Exhibition option. Thank you for your attention! Your, Pikachu.

Hey again everyone! This is my second MOC on the Historic Themes forum, this time in the Western category. I built this as a way to add variety to my MOCs, as Western is a theme that I like, but haven't gotten that into. I also built it to bring to Brickfair in a couple weeks. So, here it is The whole thing, on a 34 x 50 base Bandits in the mountain. Cowboy Camp. And that's it! As always, C&C welcome. More Photos and full set on Flickr.

This was my first attempt at making a stop motion video, so it's very short and not very good. It's a western silent movie. And part 2. Thanks for watching, C&C welcome.

Hi, Here are some photos of my Wild West layout. First some close-ups as seen from a minifigs point of view, for the right atmosphere... Now, some group pictures for presenting some of the individual MOCs; -Some stickers are missing here; White buildings are the General Store. The big brown building the Saloon, and the almost invisible small black building Wing Lu´s Laundry. The goldmine; The huge 8-wide train. Circling the diorama endlessly. It uses two PF motors in the luggage waggon after the tender of the loco, in order to pull and push the very heavy load! Now some overview photos to get an idea of the size and composition of the layout. The whole layout meassures 12x3 baseplates. Add to that the railroad... All of the above photos are form a small exposition close to Bilbao in April 2014, but most of the stuff was already exposed in Madrid in November 2013. The following photos are from that exposition, where my MOC´s formed part of a huge 13x3 + 13x2 baseplates Wild West Diorama, made by 3 persons from HispaLUG. -So what you have not seen in the above photos are NOT my MOCs! The 13x2 "Desert" area; Gold mine, Canyon with trestle bridge Indian camp. Group of buffalos. Indian raid on a settler convoy. DeLorean time machine (almost) hidden; The Indian raid was set up by my 11 year old daughter. Scary what goes on in the mind of a very peaceful little girl! ;-) The very impressive canyon; Canyon and trestle-bridge NOT made by me... The "Frontier town" area of the diorama; The other train is a motorized version of the Lone Ranger set. Hope you liked it! Thanks for watching.

The Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World shows created by William Frederick Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, can be credited with helping to create and preserve the dramatic myth of the Rough Riders and the American Old West. His extravaganzas glamorized it into an appealing show for Eastern American audiences and helped permanently preserve the legends. AC For those interested in building their own...
