I'm sure that quite a few of you fellow adult fans of Lego were eager to see
how Legoville turned out, but looking over it this morning, it seems to me as
if my 'Town' has turned into a 'Town, Jr'. Why? As it would appear, I have no
sense of modern architecture.
My 'Town Hall' is just a modified version of 4554. My Police Station and Fire
Department both came in 6464, and virtually all my buildings with the
exception of a few, which I will discuss below, are all sets made by TLG such
as 6350, 3438, and 6424.
As for the buildings I have created, they all resemble boxes. Each is jagged
and squared off; there is barely ANY room within, and the exteriors are so
poorly desgined that it makes me sick. Worst of all is the new Grocery Store
that resembles a sanitarium much less a place where food is sold.
Worst of all, a dispondend and quite drunk friend of mine splattered his
Sprite all over Legoville, and this morning the town is just sticky despite my
best efforts to clean it. It looks as it I am going to have to take the entire
town apart and wash the peices so that they don't attract more dust.
Personally, I feel that I should be doing more for Legoville. Are there any
Lego towns that I should look at to help me realize a sense of architecture?
Perhaps there are even some sets I should take a look at in the set database
that could help 'inspire' me.
I am on the verge of another Dark Age. If you have any suggestions on what I
should do, let me know.

| One way to get rid of boxiness and conformity might be to make your buildings a bit bigger, and model them after real-world buildings or pictures of buildings that have some character. These could be town halls, churches, strip malls, or whatever (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.town)
