| Hi All, Just thought that I would let you know that I have some pics of my town up on brickshelf. The pictures are pretty crappy, I'm using a friends camera (mine is having issues) so you'll have to bear with me. There are also some pictures of my (...) (23 years ago, 28-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)

| | | | | Re: Town Style

| 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)

| (...) Good question!! I agree with Kevin, it's what YOU prefer. If you are building for shows, using the facade pattern means that you can get more buildings in (all the buildings at the back are just facades and thus take up less space...) Totally (...)

| 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, (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.town)

If I'm able to make the space green enough to be seen from the outside, the clear windows will make more sense. Chris (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

| Very Nice! I'm glad to see more folks building town stuff! I really like the white with the trans-blue windows. It can be tricky mixing trans-blue with the clear, but I think you pulled it off nicely! The diamond window is a nice touch. Amy Hughes (...)

| Brilliant! I dont comment on many MOCs, but this one deserves it. I love the diamond window, and I think the overall structure is very bold. The building looks to me like a building that might have REALLY been built. Excellent. -Dave Amos (URL) (23 years ago, 25-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
