Yooha Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Hi to everyone, Since the press release of 10244 Fairground Mixer my love for amusement parks/fairgrounds flared up once again.I loved designing the rides and shops for Roller-coaster Tycoon, and now I want to continue that road somehow. The set gave a great idea of traveling fairground so I designed a movable dodgem ride, and then I planned to continue with some “accessories”. For inspiration I visited the usual market in my hometown. The town of Debrecen hosts the Saint Michael’s Day market twice a year, in May and in late September/early October. A few blocks of the town is a huge (some kms long) market at this weekend, where sellers of clothes/shoes/dishes/candies/you-name-it try to sell their goods. A small fairground is part of the fun too. The following, smaller “activities” are regularly seen in these market: Ice cream motorcycle (How the ice-cream section is connected to the motorcycle section) Candy floss stand Indian musicians These guys always appear at the market. I don’t know how many such group travels around Europe, or even the same people come back each year (twice), but their music is an integral part of the market, and I love to listen to them.

colmoore Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Love it! Great work Especially like the candy floss stand :) Quote
emilstorm Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 That candy floss machine is awesome, as are the Indian band. Good work:) Quote
AlcoEmmen Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Love the ice-cream cart. Brings back memories to childhood-times (when these still came around in town) Quote
Kristel Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 All very nice, but the ice-cream motorcycle is definitely my favourite. Love the striped canopy! Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I love the ice cream cart too.......awesome little design, Brick On LDD On 'Yooha' ! Quote
mostlytechnic Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Love these, might have to build them to go with my mixer :) Quote
Andy D Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 My favorite is the Ice cream Motorcycle. That is so clever it is beyond words. If I can figure out how you did it I definately plan to build one! Andy D P.S. Do you have an LDD file you would be willing to share? Quote
legoman19892 Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Love the ice cream moyor cycle. I aldo like that the Peruvian flute band is there to protect guests from giant Gineau Pigs. Quote
dvsntt Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Those are great! My most eagerly wanted theme from Lego is a full amusement park. Quote
kharas314 Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I stumbled across this thread looking for inspiration for additions to the Fairground Mixer set and wow! Yooha, your designs are really incredible. I'd love to try to incorporate the ice cream cycle into my fairgrounds: how on earth did you manage the joint between the motorcycle fairing, the handlebars and the cart portion? I'm pretty new to LDD and so far I haven't been able to figure that part out. Would you be willing to share your secret? Quote

I'm pretty new to LDD and so far I haven't been able to figure that part out. Would you be willing to share your secret? It was asked by someone else also, it looks like a photo which shows that part is needed. :) I'm not at home at the moment, but I send you the lxf file or a picture as soon as I arrive home. It was a tricky one, you need a jedi lightsaber and a "claw" for it to hold the handle and be able to click the icecream part to it. I'm not 100% sure it holds IRL, but I think it will. UPDATE: A picture that shows the connection in question is added. Edited June 5, 2014 by Yooha Quote
Ritsz Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 They are all nice! but love the Musicians the most, the're simple but add a lot to a town layout Quote
kharas314 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Aha, that makes sense! I tried using both the claw and the lightsaber hilt in various configurations but never thought about putting them together. That's a great technique! :) Thanks again for sharing your wonderful designs. Quote

greg3 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Brilliant!! Simple but brilliant... I really like the ice cream bike and candy floss machine (my fair might have to get one of those!!) Quote
kharas314 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 If you try IRL, does it hold? Can you take a picture, if you build it? I don't have the motorcycle part but I do have the lightsaber hilt and claw (somewhere...). I'll try to dig them up and test out the joint with a motorcycle substitute, will post a pic if I can find the parts! Quote
Zeon Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Great ideas, I like the mobile ice cream stand the most. I'll have to make a classic town take on it and "motorize" my 6601 somehow :) Thanks for sharing! Quote
Loves Houses Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Cute I definitely love the Indian Band. What's the song? Ice, ice baby? Quote
gifinim Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 The canopy on the ice cream motorcycle is spot on! Quote
Strider98 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Relevant, compact and full of details - three lovely additions to the ever expanding Lego funfair! Quote
