I noticed these on Brickshelf before seeing the post here. I think you did just fine with the name. Made me LOL when I saw it. I’d attempt to offer additional ideas but a nasty email from a licenesor has fried my brain already this morning.

As the bumper sticker says, “mean people suck” >:-(

:/ . . . Thinking about happy hour already today.

Hope it was a good one (or two;-)

I like the number of different shops you’ve included in the building and I also like the thin brown building quite a bit. Nice textures along the sides.

Thanks, Jonathan. I really only want to impress you:-) As for the sides; it’s kind of a sketchy building technique. The corners are simply 1x1 headlight bricks stacked to the ceiling. Only the tiles prevent a vandel from just ripping my corners right off!

Ashcan r3w1z!

Being an old hand at this (i.e. before LEGO saw the light):

may I suggest using bigger bricks just next to the headlight bricks, and interlock them inside the building? You won’t win any interior design awards, but it will keep you sturdy.

(...) Oh, yeah, you've done the same thing. I like it. It's a great effect. Now, I have interlocked the brown with my tan to keep the front face sturdy, but I don't see how you can make the headlight bricks any sturdier-- what more can they bind to (...)

(...) Sorry I don't quite get what you mean here. I'd like to try this technique but my brain is not seeing how you do this. Do you have any pictures of the WIP or illustratioins of how these go together? (18 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, FTX)
