Please note, this is still a work in progress..
It all began over a year ago when Paul Baulch mentioned that maybe a city in
microfig could be done. I ummmd and arrrd over this for a while, and came up
with this
But what good is a tram, without some where to drive it? so I give you...
The City I Love.
This currently takes up my entire kitchen bench, and is the first thing ones
sees when they enter my place.
after playing around with the entrance to flinders st station I went out and
took a bucket load of photos, and began from there, It first took over my
coffee table, and then kept growing organicly
The most difficult part was designing the
tram
crossovers . This took many redesigns till I was happy.
it is currently 177x72 studs in size but when finished it will be around 400
X 72. it also breaks up into easy to move compartments for travel
this is no where near complete, what follows are planned improvements
Eventually it will spread to the arts spire (still in design stage).
federation sq requires alot of wedge plates.
smoke glass for all the tram stops.
Lights in both the station and the info desk.
Redesign of the info desk (too much black).
In side detail for both st-pauls and Y&J’s.
and maybe a better team on the jumbo screen (we are the navy blues...)

Excellent work Aaron !
Unmistakable streetscape even to the occasional visitor.
The 2 types of trams and 2 types of buses and the train station would be my
favourite parts of your display.
Something like this would go down well in a show open to the public.
A tan baseplate might suit the Yarra a bit better ;^)
