Hi All,
I'm working hard getting my town/train setup and after visiting a number of
other peoples town sites I got to thinking. There are two different styles
at work, one is a realistic style, makeing the buildings, etc.. as realistic
as possible, and the "lego" style, which we all know (open backed buildings,
buildings that are only about 8-10 studs deep, etc..) I've been building my
stuff in the lego stlye, so that I can use Lego sets in my town with out
them standing out.
My question for the groop is, is there a prefered style to use? I'm sure
it's just a matter of personal opinion, but I would like so people to share
their views on it...
Thanks,
David

| Interesting topic. I previously did "Lego Style", but did not find it as rewarding as I had hoped. I mixed stock Lego creations with some of my own into a town setting, with a simple track loop around it. It was nice, but, as I said, I felt (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.town)

| I personally find that the "lego style" I chose was based on space and amount of legos. I have few of either, so in many cases throughout my town layout, my buildings looked like TLC style. However, buildings that could be viewed from all sides had (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.town)
