Hi

Here are some elements I made for a western diorama. At the moment, all buildings are separated. I hope I will be able to join all of them together to form a small village :)

These look fantastic! Keep up the good work!

Those are some really cute main street buildings! They've got exactly the right vibe. I love the station as well. Happy building!

Good selection of old west style buildings. NPU with the collectable minifig bases for roof tiles. I do the same thing.

Very nice western building with interesting details.

Wonderful collection of western style buildings! Do you plan to put them all together in a city layout?

Thanks a lot.

Yes, it is planned. My main problem is how to connect them. 32x32 tan baseplates are no more produced by Lego. I can try with simple plates but not really sure it will be easy to move (without breaking everything).

If you want to keep the city for longer i'd suggest MILS plates. There is a MILS website describing the whole system.

So basically every house would be on it's own MILS plate and you could easily shift them around and connect them using technic pins. It consumes more pieces though. Just check it out!

Love these!

Beautiful set of builds, I can almost hear the piano playing “the entertainer” as I behold your creations ;)

[BardDandelion]

Nice! These are lovely builds that could be turned into sets.

My LUG is working on Wild West diorama for this year collab project, your builds will be a great inspiration for us. ;)

love it  ;)

It has everything it need

[Crazy bricks]

Wow! That is very impressive. I think the designs are great but I'm particularly struck by the colour palette - looks so realistic.

[Yperio_Bricks]

Oh yeah! All the buildings look wonderful together

a new one : the graveyard ... for the church

Wow. Really impressive and so much details :)

I’ve been watching for five minutes at these buildings and still I can't decide what I like the most... They are all amazing!

The bank, the saloon and the station are my top 3 but it's a tough choice... the chapel looks gorgeous too! 🤩
