Posted July 1, 20159 yr Dear AFOLs, after months and months of lurking here I am to show my first real city I'm building as an adult. In this time of my life I'm moving in a new house where there is a spare bedroom that I'll use as a hobby/studio/LEGO room; at present I use this room to store everything during the moving, so in these weeks no LEGO is allowed here. In the meantime I'm building in the true bedroom a small city (4x 32x32 baseplates) on the top of a commode, hence the name Bedford-on-Commode. There is nothing special in this city, in fact it is just a display of some sets of portion of sets, both old and new. City of Bedford-on-Commode by Ivan Furlanis, su Flickr Bedford-on-Commode it's very small, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere. City of Bedford-on-Commode by Ivan Furlanis, su Flickr I managed to create a small garden behind the wall where citizens can rest a little... perhaps they could rest better with benches, ops City of Bedford-on-Commode by Ivan Furlanis, su Flickr Police and dust everywhere City of Bedford-on-Commode by Ivan Furlanis, su Flickr Overall view of the city.

July 2, 20159 yr love the raised motorway, very good idea. It does have a lot of traffic, but what can you do when Lego make so many vehicles and so few buildings?

July 2, 20159 yr Hey, what did you do to make the 6-wide trucks pass in the road without seeming too large? Did you use smaller wheels?
July 5, 20159 yr I like the power lines with lamps, they make it look very realistic. The overpass is also interesting, I might consider something similar for my town.
July 5, 20159 yr Oh cool if this is just an interim city I can't wait to see your set up once you've unpacked Great start, I look forward to seeing more Happy building
July 6, 20159 yr Author Thanks . By the way, I didn't use smaller wheels, all trucks are almost unmodified (for example, I added mirrors on the red prime mover, from set 7939, but this made it larger than the original ). In this time I rebuilt two old space sets, so Bedford-on-Commode was ignored, but for the next days I'm planning to built the B-model from set 31026. Stay tuned.

July 7, 20159 yr I like this little but complex layout and it's lovely to see sets coming from different eras!
