Rearranged the diorama to a square-shaped layout. More pictures in my Flickr gallery!

I prefer the less elaborate, simpler modular style, like the one of the first modulars of the late 2000's - early 2010's

Hello, long time no see? Well, since I have other hobbies too and I was busy with work and such, I had to put on hiatus my Lego city. Now I've fount the time to celebrate in an appropriate way the 20th aniversary of my city diorama. A few years ago I built a second diorama, trains only, put in the attic (since in my apartment there isn't enough space for both). Now, I've moved (temporary) the train diorama and united to the city one, buildg my BIGGEST DIORAMA EVER! 4 sq. meters, 64 baseplates including all the buildingsbuilt so far, and they are all MOCs!

I printed by myself on adhesive paper

An answer for everyone: 😊 - all buildings are my own creations: a few migth be inspired in some details to something I've seen on the web, but the original idea is mine; - I try to use all the available bricks before eventually buying more. Usually I don't plan the building using cad programs like LDD or Studio, except a few buuldings, like the store, the cinema and the tan house with the red roof. - All the building will never be finished; I'll always find some detail I can change: that's the fun for me :) - Due to limited space, I have two dioramas, one city and the other train, each one is 4 x 8 baseplates. Theorically they can be combined to one 8 x 8 but I don't have enough space in my apartment - The weird color palette is due to the fact that in the beginning I had a lot of blue or yellow bricks, so I have blue and yellow buildings Hope it helps. More updates on my Flickr gallery (see signature) and maybe here too 😉

Except you, it seems that nobody is interested in my city here 🤷‍♂️ Well, I'll continue to upload new stuff on flickr as usual!

Ten years ago I started my actual modular city, named Brickville, made exclusively of MOCs. After ten years a lot has changed, I had to split the diorama in two separate ones: one exclusively city and the other with train. Here's how Brickville has changed in 10 years... And here's the train diorama. Unfortunately I can't unite the two dioramas for space reasons. If you're interested I can post more pictures :)

Hello people! This summer I've updated several MOC vehicles in my town. Hope you'll enjoy! first, the taxi: now converted to 6-wide and a few more realistic touches; The TV van has been updated too; Tow truck totally rebuilt; more realistic look for the hot rod; total rebult for the ambulance too; Mail delivery van converted in a 3-wheeled van (like an Ape Piaggio) so it can move with more agilty into narrow streets; and finally the car transported, with updated mechanism: Hope you liked these vehicles and if you want to see more check my flickt gallery: Salvatore | Flickr

My tables are custom-made, each one is 4 x 4 baseplates so I have no problems

This year finally find time and resources to split my city diorama in two different dioramas: a "city-only" one and a train one. I had to put the train diorama in the attic, so I left the "city-only" one in my apartment. As you can see, I removed tracks and station and I've rearranged the buildings: You can see more pictures in my Flickr: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmMXzqCt Hope you like :)

That's really cute! ^-^

The batmobile is simple and effective. I like it!

8-wide cars? Ok, I won't buy these sets anymore, I prefer to build MOCs.

Better than the original!

Hello! This year my Lego city, later called Brickville, is 15 years old. I've started it around May-June 2004 when I had both time, space and money to build the dream of childhood: a whole Lego city. In summer 2004 it had only classic City sets, and only a few MOCs built in the same style (open backside and such) After a few years I wasn't satisfied anymore of this style, so in 2008 I built a new version with railroad, "closed backside" buildings and sidewalks. In 2009 I've started to include modular buildings, but the modularity wasn't for road baseplates. Then I was forced to move and only in 2012 I had enough time and space to build a new, full modular city. Due to space limitations, I was able to include only a small portion of the railroad, near the station. In 2014 my city turned 10, including a few more buildings and some more realistic trees. Today I have more realistic details, tiled road sides, even more realistic trees, a city park, a construction site with a proper crane. Plans for the future are to build in my attic a new railroad-only diorama and making this one a city-only one. If I'll have enough money and time I'll start it next year :) Hope you liked and let me know if you have any question.
