Trying to work out the roof......slope brick or tiled flat across the top ? legohappy

by Kaila Wed 17 Oct 2012, 7:04 am

Perhaps tiled flat? Hey Lightening just wondering what did you think of this 'outback' set that Lego released a while back? You've done so many realistic Aussie themes I wanted to hear your opinion on this retail rarity of theirs

I love the little building, the radios and the windmill. The bird is a nice addition also. Hate the plane though I find it blocky and ugly for some reason.

by **Lightningtiger** Wed 17 Oct 2012, 2:27 pm

Yeah, back in the days of the late 90's......oop's ! legolaugh

Anyway, only stickers to be done now for council office.

LT, great work.

You need a toilet block in the park.

Let's hope that Hagrid doesn't visit your toilets. legolaugh

^ This is hilarious!

by **Lightningtiger** Thu 18 Oct 2012, 1:41 pm

Yeah, Hagrid should watch what he eats eh ? legolaugh

I'll see if I can design a modern toilet block on LDD.....the type the door pops open after 10 ten minutes ! legotounge

Actually any suggestions for a railway hotel......yep, the pub from across the train station ? legowink

by jigsaw Thu 18 Oct 2012, 3:05 pm

are you gonna have a train running through town?

Along the front of the main street and of course around the back to complete the circuit so to speak. legowink

Still trying to figure out era for the hotel.....Victorian, Federation or Art Deco ?

If it's Victorian then surely the Emerald Night or an MOC steam engine would fit in well..

by **Lightningtiger** Thu 18 Oct 2012, 11:13 pm

Then also the train station must look similar in era as well.....I'll just have to try a few designs and see how they look against all the other buildings.

what about a modern maersk type one, but in green as the old ANR livery?

by **Lightningtiger** Fri 19 Oct 2012, 2:59 am

Well, there's an idea I have my instructions for my Maersk train around somewhere ! legowink

by **Lightningtiger** Fri 19 Oct 2012, 6:34 am

I just tossed a better looking lawnmower on a display stand together.

New Mannum is in New South Australia?

it needs a fixed speed camera somewhere! LOL

by **Lightningtiger** Sat 20 Oct 2012, 1:38 pm

No, it's in OLD SA.....gee, you want me to get nasty in my own little town. If I did I would have to include a repair crew working on it after being peppered with shotgun pellets ! legodevil

More to come......etc.,.

by **Lightningtiger** Mon 22 Oct 2012, 1:59 pm

Tomorrow I'll start designing a cold storage depot which will be located pass the Holden dealer.
The pub will go to the left of the public park......down further train station. That will be it then for a while....I must watch my costs....Christmas coming up and I still need to get my train of layby......I need my 3677 ! legosad2

Looking good, Do you just use a label maker for the IGA signs ect?

by **Lightningtiger** Tue 23 Oct 2012, 10:08 am

Thanks and signs were done on the ink jet printer......of course a lot of hard work and some knowledge of photography and design.....good old high school days were useful after all ! legolaugh

More and more to come.....so yes.....keep watching ! legohappy

Interesting to see the District Council of Hackett and a Holden Dealership selling motorbikes.

Just keeping us bricking on with honesty by forcing us to comment with those two selections, mate legohappy

by **Lightningtiger** Thu 01 Nov 2012, 12:30 pm

I chose the name Hackett as it's part of my family tree and it sounds like a council or shire name.
Don't also forget that car dealers in country towns triple as chain saw and motorbike dealers.
Any suggestions or extra ideas welcome......oh, I'm still working on a new ute design inspired in part by my redesign of the council truck.
Keep watching everyone ! legohappy
