Got cat food?

A nice little shop with a great interior. I do hope that's not a dead parrot being sold though...

Custom Stickers for Modulars

Hello everyone!

I've received an email wondering about custom stickers/decals for modular buildings (i.e. store displays, advertisements, etc.), and I wasn't sure if there was anyone out there who specialized in that sort of thing. So if you do create these stickers and such, please send me a link, so I can put it on the site!

Thank you!

Chris

Buildings on Every Corner

Courtesy Urban Landscape #2 - 2011 by Jonathan Lopes
It's a good chance we have posted something from Mr. Lopes before, but recently, he posted an update of his town with all sorts of cool buildings and models. Take a stroll past the fire station, through the train yards, or to Al's diner. Or maybe you're after a tattoo or want to play some pool? Let's just say urban decay never looked so good. 

Looks real, doesn't it?

More Wharfs Please

Courtesy Nordic Wharf by Hoexbroe
First off, I would like to thank ClassicTown.com for posting this. I normally don't check Eurobricks that much for MOCs (I really need to make that a habit), but this was hiding there under the LEGO Town Forum.

So onto the layout! The wharf building is just incredible. The old warehouse look is just fantastic...and the boats! Holy smokes those are cool! I love little layouts like these where there's just a lot going on, and I hope it spurs some ship or naval based building from the builders across the web. I honestly don't see enough of that.


Ironic how I find this at a  time when I was reading a history book about my town and their fishing and shipping industry. This has seriously inspired me to build something for my own little town.

Just awesome. I hope LEGO sees this post. I could really use a couple sets like this...

Trains are the New Thing

Yes! Another train station! The facade on this thing is top notch, and I really like how the off set windows causes a little wave along the building. The arches and gray/white detailing above them really adds a great style to it.

Inspiration of the Day - 4/3/11

The New and Old

I'm breaking my rule of not posting digital models...but this layout was just too good to pass up. The design of the buildings are very realistic and no doubt probably took a LONG time to build, but it was worth it. Scrunched in between the two buildings on the right is lgorlando's barbershop.

Protecting the Shipping Lanes

An extremely well designed lighthouse. The American flag at the top and the lone tree add some nice character to this. All the colors mix together really nicely. LEGO should seriously consider making a lighthouse set one of these days, perhaps part of their Creator series.

Franchising LEGO City

What an awesome niche. The best thing about this is that there are even more stores to come. So stay tuned for more in the future!
