It seems LEGO has given up on making 4-wide City vehicles... I get 6-wide gives much more detail and you can only do so much with 4-wide but some of the scale of the 6-wide trucks are way off. They are bigger than most City buildings.

I guess the gas station is only good for 4-wide vehicles?

My wish list for first year Simpsons release: 1. Simpson house with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, plus SLH and SB2 2. SNPP with Muu Muu Homer and Mr Burns 3. School bus with Otto and Ralphy 4. Canyonero 5. Moe's Tavern with Moe, Lenny, and Carl (not sure how this could be exempted from the no drinking establishment rule for LEGO) 6. Bart's Treehouse with Milhouse 7. Barney's Bowlorama with Barney 8. Police car with Chief Wiggum 9. Ned Flanders with Rod and Todd (as an accessory or polybag) 10. Last but not least... Quik-E-Mart with Apu Ideas for second year release: 1. Krusty Burger with Krusty and Squeeky voice teen 2. Lard Lad Donut with Officer Lou and Eddie 3. Town Hall with Mayor Quimby 4. Town square with Jebediah stature and Jimbo, Kerny, Dolph and Nelson 5. SES with Skinner, Krabappble, and assorted kids 6. Simpsons family car 7. Retirement castle with Grandpa and Jasper 8. Mr Plow and Plow King 9. Monorail! 10. Flander house with Maude

Remember the Passage Parisien entry from Modular Madness in 2012? Maybe LEGO designers took some inspiration from this well designed MOC. http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=72203

This bothered me when I came out of my LEGO dark age... the modern 6 stud wide vehicles look like giants next to classic Town era 4 stud vehicles. And also, the fact that Modular buildings are so much bigger than both Town and City buildings. After many sleepless nights, I decided I was being silly and just let it be. When you combine your collections, you will end up with larger and more fancy cars and buildings on one side, and smaller and more simple cars and building on the other side. I imagine this is what Berlin looked like right after unification.

Wow, this is my favorite entry so far

The exterior detail is superb. I would buy this set if it was a real LEGO set... looks like a fun build.

The layout is nicely planned. I like it very much.

Thank you for taking the time to write this detailed scaling tutorial. I find it very informative and will apply it to my future MOC in trying to visualize the real building vs. mini figure scale. Also, 180cm = 5 ft 11 inches or commonly written as 5'11. "5.91ft" doesn't make any sense because it is not metric... 1 ft does not divide into 10x 0.1 ft - it is divided into 12 inches. I know I know... crazy Americans with our non-metric system

I really like your Pinkberry inspired store front. Great concept and execution.

These bus models are pretty amazing. Good work! There is another HK bus fan here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=60721

Thanks for posting your bus photos The 379 Bus Station was my first LEGO set. Sometimes I really miss the simplicity of these early Town era vehicles.

Your town looks a little sketchy... I don't know if I will feel safe walking down the street.
