There it is! https://www.lego.com/nl-nl/product/himeji-castle-21060

I found the 'Fun in the Park' for € 37,95 and 'Octan Gas Station' for € 69,95 at MisterBricks in the Netherlands (Stiens). They also had the new Creator sets at discount

Polystyrene is also a good solution, but I think that wood offers a more solid structure. The dock is looking nice indeed!

That is a very smart idea, I have never thought about putting MDF under the buildings. It is the less expensive and time consuming solution, thanks for sharing this! The pictures on Flickr are very nice, gives a really good idea of how to use the MDF.

Yes, that is exactly my idea. To create bridge(s) between the raised areas. If I am going for brick build roads, then I have to move the Modular building to other LEGO plates to create a hight difference between the sidewalk and the road. Or is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks Eanair and Cimmddwc for your response. Maybe I have to look into brick building the roads (but it is expensive). I really like the double table/planks in your city, that is the best way for elevation.

Hello fellow brickers, For the past 5 years I have been collecting the Creator Expert buildings and have all of them except the CC and MS . I really want to do more with LEGO and decided to build a city. Now I am having trouble on how to start the city. Last week I have ordered a few creator buildings (the 5 currently available) to increase my bricks (these are the first sets I've bought besides the Creator Expert buildings). For a while I have read a lot of city building stories on the internet and know that I have to keep buying sets for a start and that I have to decide how big the city will be (maybe with the use of BlueBrick). For the roads I want to use the official road plates from LEGO, but I want to have different levels and don't know how to implement this in the city in combination with road plates (which way to create the different hight). I want to have three different levels: - Street level - Mountain (this can be build on top of LEGO plates - Lower level for a canal/river (so I can build a bridge over it and have boats/harbor) I hope you guys/girls can help me out on how to start building multiple levels for this city. Thanks!

I was also planning to implement lighting to my city. The product from Brickstuff are very nice, but I decided to get the lights from bricklights.nl because they are in Netherlands and Brickstuff is (unfortunatly) not. Your city layout and lighting is very very nice, keep up the good work!

It is really amazing! I also want to make a tree like that. Unfortunatly we don't have a Lego store in the Netherlands, so I have to make a Bricklink order. Could you tell me how much sprues are in one tree?

This book is really great for someone who wants to start building MOC's. It has some interesting furniture and building ideas. I ordered my book about three weeks ago and it was also delivered in 7 days. The place I ordered is a Dutch webshop named bol.com.

I would die for an official Lego store two miles from my house. :P But the real problem is, that we don't even have an official Lego store in our entire country! :(

The Dutch version only has the TH and PS. So the GE and FB are not in the Christmas catalogue.

Why is it so hard to keep money in your pocket??? Received money today, ordered Town Hall... Double VIP points Byebye money!

The pictures of the Town Hall are also available (not high resolution) now in a Dutch webshop: http://www.brickshop.nl/lego/factory/lego-10224-town-hall.html Unfortunatly, they still don't have a price (unless they are giving them away for free € 0,- ).
