         Re: My unfinished town diorama —Christopher Tracey
     (...) Thanks! I am still in awe of the amount of tiles you used. If they made gray tiles I would have considered using them for my sidewalks, but something has to be said for the look of studs IMO. (...) If I remember right, seeing your theater in (...)

         Re: My unfinished town diorama —Eric Kingsley

         Re: My unfinished town diorama —Christopher Tracey
     (...) Thanks! I was originally trying to use the fiber optic units to have a 'real' working marquee but it was bulky and didn't give the look I wanted. As I was taking that apart, I happened to glance over at my box of minifig accessories and it hit (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.town)

         Re: My unfinished town diorama —Christopher Tracey
     (...) The stroller comes from the Paradisa Playground ((URL) It was kicking around in my box of prebuilt town accessories, so I put it out on the diorama.

         Re: My unfinished town diorama —Eric Kingsley

        Re: My unfinished town diorama —Jonathan Lopes
   This is great. I love the layout & buildings. What really gets me is the detail....trees, traffic lights, windowsills & architecture...all the little things that make such a big difference....and thats only the outside! The interiors are wonderful (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.town)
   
        Re: My unfinished town diorama —Christopher Tracey
   (...) Thanks! I plan on adding a lot more trees and street details as soon as time permits. I've just about fallen in love with using 1x1 plates from the mosiac for 'tile' floors. (...)
