| That looks pretty cool Kevin, The town looks like it goes on forever! The only thing I might suggest is to try to turn the buildings so that the front's go the same way. For instance, if all the building's faced north or west, you could take a (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jul-01, to lugnet.town)

| 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)

| | | | | Re: Town Style

| 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)

| 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)

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 (...)
