Title: Photos of a modern town street
Post by: townklicky on January 28, 2009, 18:14:49
Hi
These are pictures of a town I built on my dining table for my two children as a surprise when they had been away for a few days visiting their Grandad. (it ended up larger than i planned, and took way longer, but was really good fun building.)
Yes the road is blue! I did not have anything to use for road surface at the time, but this is going to be rectified soon using the construction asphalt.
I have been trawling through photos that I have taken over the last few years, and will hopefully post lots more soon.
Thanks Adrian

What a great set-up, Adrian! :clap: I bet the kids loved it when they got home. What I especially like is the way you have intermingled the old and the new and all that activity, as well - this is truly the way many real towns look with a mix of buildings from many time periods. :)

I am sure that was a real treat for your children when they came home! I agree with Indianna that there is so much going on you could spend a lot of time just soaking it all in, very good job and thank you for sharing these photos with us. :wow:

Wow impressive!
I too like the combination of the old and new houses, nowadays most of the old towns have just that mix i them. You have really captured the spirit.

Excellent - one to look at time and again! I especially the way the new buildings are squeezed in between the old, and the new one in build. Really wonderful scene.

Cool! :)9 There is a lot happening. It reminds me of those old "Where's Waldo" books which were a lot of fun.

Look - gas is only $1.25. I want to live there!! I love the blue convertable.
What did you use for the 2-story system-X buildings? I have been wanting to make some small buildings for the bakery and butcher without buying the corner store sets . . . but don't think I have enough extra pieces anyway. That is a good way to house two stores under one roof.

A really colorful and non-uniform city live display -- like in real world. :wow: I like how different styles of buildings are mixed.

I see the familiar figure of Fred right in the middle of the 3rd picture, but who is that lady with the dalmations he is chatting up, and where is Maisie? ;)
