 | | MOC: Terraced houses —Alastair Disley
|
| | | This is a recent MOC of a row of English terraced houses. It's typical of working class housing from around 1900 as can be found across much of the Midlands and North of England. See (URL) start with and (URL) for the other pictures once moderated. (...) (17 years ago, 5-Mar-07, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.build.arch) !!

| | | | | Hi Alastair, thanks for sharing your architecture creations. I love the way you build these typical houses form England. And you not only did "copy and paste", you added various styles. So life comes into the LEGO bricks. I remember these types of (...) (17 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| | | | | As you already know from the Brickish Association I love these houses. I think they are my favorite MOC of all time. They are definatly the UK equivalent of Jonathan Lopes' seedy city building, but I can relate more to them! Although everyone in the (...) (17 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

Question(s): Would these types of houses comprise an area or neighborhood? Are there (...) (17 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

Some towns and cities seem to be largely made up of these. They (...) (17 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

The pictures don't look all that rough or depressing to me, but then again I'm quite badass myself. ;o) I figured even rough areas have kids that need to run around. Here in NYC there are rough areas (...) (17 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

Actually, without wishing to classist, it is the poorer area where kids can still be found playing on the street, middle class parents taxi their kids around from one safe environment to another. This is a recent thing, when I was young (I'm (...) (17 years ago, 24-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

Yes, the kids played in the street - but then, all traffic was horse-drawn and there (...) (17 years ago, 21-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

I might give it a try on buildings for my next layout. The Maersk (...) (17 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

The only exception I can think of is occasionally you find houses set at a slight angle to (...) (17 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

| | | | Al, Very nicely done, I lived in a house not so unlike these when I was a student in Brighton. This style of house is very boxy and rather plain, which means that it can be replicated very convincingly in LEGO. Your use of 2 by 1 plates really adds (...)
