But what good is a tram, without some where to drive it? so I give you...

The City I Love.



This currently takes up my entire kitchen bench, and is the first thing ones sees when they enter my place.

after playing around with the entrance to flinders st station I went out and took a bucket load of photos, and began from there, It first took over my coffee table, and then kept growing organicly

The most difficult part was designing the tram crossovers . This took many redesigns till I was happy.

it is currently 177x72 studs in size but when finished it will be around 400 X 72. it also breaks up into easy to move compartments for travel

this is no where near complete, what follows are planned improvements

Eventually it will spread to the arts spire (still in design stage). federation sq requires alot of wedge plates. smoke glass for all the tram stops. Lights in both the station and the info desk. Redesign of the info desk (too much black). In side detail for both st-pauls and Y&J’s. and maybe a better team on the jumbo screen (we are the navy blues...)

There is also two smaller compainion pieces in the works

Truly amazing, Aaron. I echo Martin’s sentiments in hoping you can bring it to the MUGS meeting on Monday.

Gets my vote for TGBSLILA - oh wait, I’m not a judge LOL
