This is looking great and is starting to inspire me to build something creative such as a newsagency perhaps !!!

Just have to wait til the Series 8 Minifigures arrive so I can obtain heaps of newspapers from the businessman figure legohappy

by **Lightningtiger** Fri 17 Aug 2012, 3:42 pm

Now that;s an idea.....a newsagent.....thanks 'Free Spirit' for the idea.
Newspapers I could knock up on 2x2 tiles.....piece of cake.
I'll look into it next week....along with a chemist and town hall/council office.....oop's forgot the cop shop too ! legoheadbang

Keep watching everyone ! legohappy

Just great I opened my big mouth and Lightningtiger strikes with a flash of more brilliance with the idea of building a newsagent legowink

Perhaps, I should put you to the challenge of building one for me as I am an ex newsagent with less skill ???

by **Lightningtiger** Sat 18 Aug 2012, 4:21 pm

Well, I could. legowink

My wife has suggested a medical centre so there are going to be a lot more to come in New Mannum.

As you can see by BrickManLJ's response I aint the only one who wants to see a newsagent appear on the streets of New Mannum legohappy

by **Lightningtiger** Mon 20 Aug 2012, 12:11 pm

Okay, okay....I'll make a newsagent then lego8O

......I'll start scratching one up tomorrow ! legowink

by **brickie** Mon 20 Aug 2012, 12:58 pm

Don't forget that in the back street there needs to be a house with a prominent red light; just like the old days.

by **Lightningtiger** Mon 20 Aug 2012, 1:00 pm

Oh, no.......I'll have children when I display the town asking what the red light is for ! legodevil

I was told as a kid that it was a Christmas decoration. legoskulltransform

I have start on a row of shops, a chemist, newsagent and perhaps a butchers shop.
Due to money being tight and my hot water system failing (up to 3000 dollars to fix)....updating might take longer than usual, but I'll try.

I like what I see as the colour scheme is almost the same to the Imperial Arcade where the newsagency is situated that I worked at just a few years ago legohappy

by **Lightningtiger** Thu 23 Aug 2012, 4:34 pm

Thanks for the positive vibes on this new work of mine 'Free Spirit', I'm just using what I have mostly available to me......the hot water service failing is costing my family 2000 bucks so not much cash spare for Lego buying. legosad2

But I'll keep going.....keep watching for more tomorrow. legohappy

by **Lightningtiger** Fri 24 Aug 2012, 11:11 am

Just a little more work on the row of shops today.....

Doctors often had red lights too. They probably stopped doing it due to the potential for confusion legosmile2

What in Kings Cross ? legolaugh

Supplies are running low again....time to dig deeper in the scrap bags and crates for parts....oh, well....that's life.
At least the butchers shop and chemist is finished.....only the newsagent and the large roof section to go top....plus a little trimming too. legowink

You have a serious buyer waiting in the wings if you can reproduce this set of three buildings.

That's how much I like what I see with your current work legohappy
