As promised to a couple of folks out there in micro land, a few pics of progress
so far;

then 2, 3, 4 .. 9

I really did try to keep the number of modified parts under control, but the
front of the TRU store in pic 2 just had to be done right, so it's not stickers.
Its real bricks, slightly modified blue, yellow and red plates in fact.

(...) John..... man, I am almost speechless! Why is there not a category higher than spotlight????? By far, you have raised the bar once again, in the micro theme.

(...) Oh My Goodness! That's spectacular! Having HO when I was a kid and combining the HO trains and track with LEGO buildings and landscaping was one thing, but this is wonderful! Nicely done! Dave K (20 years ago, 7-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale)

(...) Now, that's what I cal, nicer micro-stuff! Really neat indeed. I remember seeing your train a while ago and I was waiting for some new stuff from you, but this is better than I expected. Will you add cars? Maybe people? I'd like to see your (...) (20 years ago, 7-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale)

Very nice, I hope to see more soon. I'll have more pix up of my stuff soon, now that the LegoFactory contest has entered the final round and I don't have to design any new stuff on LDD. I'll actually try to build some real MOCs now :) Mark (...) (20 years ago, 7-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale)

SNIPPIFIED Wow, that is one of the most cute things I've ever seen! It perfectly satisfies one of my laments about building big in lego- The lack of available detail in a *limited* amount of space! Microscale is not something that really appeals to (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale)
