WesternOutlaw Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I was reading Hobbes's review of the Building Crane and as I was looking at pictures of his Lego City/Town, I thought to myself, the following would make a neat contest. How about sharing a picture of your Lego city or town (from the present or past). After we have a few entries, I'll create a poll and let the contest begin. No rules except for one: You may only post one picture of your city or town. Smaller images help reduce load/view time. Cities and towns may be from any theme allowing all to participate. Let's see what we get. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted June 11, 2006 Author Posted June 11, 2006 I'll go ahead and start by sharing one of my largest cities that I built in 2001. It combines Classic City sets with the old yellow castle at its center, and includes an adventure airstrip, small port for various boats and ships, and even some Diver sets. Quote
kotua Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Interesting contest...I don't have a large amount of bricks to build many civilian buildings(Made only one house...) is it okay if I post a link to it? Its in Flickr...: My small...town Quote
alex54 Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 So here a picture of my town in 2005 In the center, we have the old town, and out of the traintracks, it is the suburb with more individual housses. There is alsow the security parts, and the carriers. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted June 13, 2006 Author Posted June 13, 2006 I like your town square. Great layout! Any others out there? Quote
Hobbes Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Any others out there? Yes. But how long do you plan this contest to go? Because I do have a layout but as you surely noticed while browsing my brickshelf gallery it's not finished and it'll take some more time until it is. All I could offer is a "roughly" set up but unfinished layout (I'll need one or two days more, though). Would that qualify? Quote
xwingyoda Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I cannot speak for Brickster, but I can't consider a good "contest" without our city mayor's entry ;-) Also we only have two entries right now, so we need more :-P *yoda* Quote
Hobbes Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I cannot speak for Brickster, but I can't consider a good "contest" without our city mayor's entry ;-) Hmm... good point... guess I'm not used to my new title yet ;-) Quote
kotua Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Also we only have two entries right now, so we need more :-P I see The Brickster's entry, Alex54's entry, and mine...so wouldn't that make it three? Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted June 14, 2006 Author Posted June 14, 2006 Any others out there? Yes. But how long do you plan this contest to go?

All I could offer is a "roughly" set up but unfinished layout (I'll need one or two days more, though). Would that qualify? Judging by the rate at which members are responding, I don't think an extra day or two would make a difference. Look forward to seeing your finished city Hobbes. I like trains but failed to take a picture of my last city that had a variety of different trains and newer buildings than my old classic city. Also we only have two entries right now, so we need more :-P I see The Brickster's entry, Alex54's entry, and mine...so wouldn't that make it three? Definately Kotua. I think they may have missed your city since only the link is displayed. I'll certainy add your name to the poll. I'm sure there's more great cities out there, any others? Quote
jayb_fpmg Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 The photo definitely doesn't do this justice, but this is a recent photograph of my Lego room/city layout. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jaybfpmg/City/city.jpg (large image) Thoughts or comments greatly appreciated! :-) ~ Jay Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted June 14, 2006 Author Posted June 14, 2006 Very nice Jay. I really like the skyscrapers, esp. the tan one. I also like the way you raised the subway train. It reminds me of the Spiderman train. Great city and it definately has the "metro city" look. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted June 14, 2006 Author Posted June 14, 2006 Here's a shot of Kotua's city from the link he provided: Quote

xwingyoda Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Kotua, My apologies for missing your entry !! Jay, That is an impressive city !! Could you make a lot more pics (and you could create a thread just on your MOC city ;-) ) I see a beautifull bridge on the other side !! And I am sure there are lots of life going on on the streets... *yoda* Quote
alex54 Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 It's a good idea this City Contest! In fact, we can see the city of the members, with all their philosophy of what a LEGO town is. It coucld give us some ideas. I wait to see more of them... Quote
xwingyoda Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 So Alex, when can we expect pics of your town ;-) *yoda* Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 So Alex, when can we expect pics of your town ;-) *yoda* You too Yoda. Do you have any images of your town or city? (past or present). Quote
Hobbes Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 So Alex, when can we expect pics of your town ;-) Right here ;-) ;-) Quote
jayb_fpmg Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Thanks for the comments everyone...I'll do my best to take some more photos this weekend and post them. :-) ~ Jay Kotua,My apologies for missing your entry !!

Unfortunatly, I don't have a city to display due to space problem in an appartment with no spare room/den for Lego >:-( (I have serious stocking sets problems right now). However, I have a general idea of a small town on the sea in mind (kind of a small marina) and I started collecting parts like coloured trash cans, animals and food for shops cars, boats... for it one day ;-) I like watching other members' cities !! You can always pick neat details and ideas ;-) *yoda* Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted June 17, 2006 Author Posted June 17, 2006 There has to be more cities and towns out there. Calling for cities anyone, calling for towns. If you find the road to this message, share your city with the Eurobrick community. Quote

WesternOutlaw Posted June 18, 2006 Author Posted June 18, 2006 So far, we only have four entries. Hobbes, how's yours coming along? Anyone else? Quote
Hobbes Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Hobbes, how's yours coming along? *cough* Um... err... slowly, I'm afraid... I was busier last week than I thought... Quote
