lightningtiger Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Okay, so the madness begins....... Well, that's most of the hardware side done, of course to the right of this will go the supermarket with entrance to the whole place. I've decided to do it this way for reasons, one is it's more open....easier to see things inside, two the least can convey the most and three is just to give the feel of a simple small low population country town......sadly very common in parts of Oz. Keep watching for the next installment. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 That is a promising start. I see you are again combining elements in an interesting way. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 That is a promising start. I see you are again combining elements in an interesting way. Thanks 'Captain', yeah I like trying things out to either simply or give something a pop factor.......I've started on the supermarket side right now, I'll update A.S.A.P......so keep watching ! Quote

CityBuilder Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Curious to see how the IGA turns out, I go past one quite often. It looks good so far. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks 'CityBuilder' for your kind words, I have 80% of the exterior work done.....just some final end wall work and a section above the entrance to fix up then I can start properly on the interior of the food section with new checkouts, etc.,......keep watching !

lightningtiger Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks to the wife being home today I wasn't able to work on NM......but tomorrow is a different story. Now I have decided to add a driveway and fuel pumps to the left of the IGA building.....once fitted to some 48x48 base plates.....like three of them ! Keep watching tomorrow ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Quick update time......I still need to buy some black tiles......though the entire build so far has involved buying no parts at all. Keep watching for future updates..... Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Another quick update........ Keep watching ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 I need some advice on what I'm planning on putting in that blank space on the right of the IGA......a post office but what style or period of construction ? There won't be pumps at the IGA now but maybe I'll finally build another road house eh ? Oh, before I forget should I still include a bank in the town since most major banks have left small towns in Oz ? Quote

gifinim Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 The IGA building looks brilliant, all simple lines and crisp white colouring. Looking forward to more! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Fine, the city is growing. This is already more than just a supermarket. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 Oh, this is just a small town.....heck, I did plan a huge town layout once many years ago but it was too much and I couldn't use my favourite style of building.....open back classic town. Thanks for everyone's kind words, etc., and I'll have another building started today sometime so keep watching ! Quote
