Posted June 19, 20204 yr Fabuland was a LEGO theme that existed in the period 1979-1989. Together with my mother Anne Mette I have built two Fabuland layouts. The first layout is built entirely of LEGO bricks that existed in the 1980s: The other layout is built of modern LEGO bricks: More photos: More photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/66344850@N06/albums/72157714613680153
June 19, 20204 yr Double dip of delightful Fabuland. I think @Pandora and @Hinckley would love this too. The simple 80s authentic build captures the charm of the theme and the design sensibilities of the era. The modern style is a lovely match to the "vintage" layout but also looks like something Tom Nook and friends would feel at home in. A beautiful pair of creations. Thank you for sharing this with the forum.
June 19, 20204 yr That is one big Fabuland scene, WOW! Both ,1980s and 2020s versions are grand. Awesome work!!
June 19, 20204 yr I love to see new colours used in displays for retired themes! Great job this put a smile on my face.
June 23, 20204 yr These are absolutely lovely Fabuland scenes, and it's wonderful how you've managed to recreate pretty much exactly the same scene twice. It's a bit like looking at a photo with two different filters! There's really clever part use to brick build the larger single Fabuland parts, like the car roof: it's just one part in Fabuland, but you've managed to brick build the same shape in the contemporary version. I also like the small touches like the bear holding the teddy bear printed tile in the 80's compared with the equivalent bear holding an actual teddy bear in the modern version. The rounding you've achieved with the modern doors and windows really works to tie the two together. It's lovely to see this, thank you.

June 23, 20204 yr My first Lego was Fabuland, back when it was still in the shops, so I adore the amazing displays you've made! They remind me of Richard Scarry's Busytown books with lots of animal crowd scenes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Scarry
