WIP - Country Town

[lightningtiger]

Here's my country town under construction.

Welcome to the entrance of my country town.

Hey, what are you doing to my new sports car ?!

Shutting down the power.

Up goes the new lamppost.

Lets do lunch.

Comments welcome.

Loos great! I'm jealous of all your roadplates. I like how you use small objects like the gas pump to hold the plates together in some instances.

Thanks 'Big Cam' for your positive feedback.

I must say that yellow thing holding some plates together is not a gas mains control or pump for that matter. It is the mains electricity control box for the street lights in my town - it has underground power cables.

The power has been cut so a new street light can be installed.

I will tomorrow post pictures of the improved tyre jack in the Octan Tyre posting.

hahaha, I jumped to conclusions, after a closer review, it's pretty obvious it's an electrical box of some sort. Whoops. Either weay, the setup looks great, I look forward to more pics.

Nice collection of all your MOCs/MODs so far. I like all the little details here and there and the 'action' going on, like that lamppost being put up.

Looking Good!

I really like all the baseplates! Its quite annoying how they package them however

Which has been the main reason why I haven't bought any.

I like how your town follows the current scale and style of CITY.

This is fantastic! I like the use of new city sets and MOCs together, they really match well. those construction trucks look great and all the action gives the display a realistic look. Keep up the good work .

This is an excellent set up! I'm building my own town at the moment, and it doesn't look as nice as this mainly due to it's lack of road plates. Your town set up certainly looks the part. Can't wait to see what you add on to it next.

Very nice, and your vehicles are there!

But one thing is missing...where is this smiley next to your topic title?

Work is continuing on more buildings in the town, so why am I posting.

The town now has a name - NEW MANNUM

Sixty or so kilometres from Adelaide is the town of Mannum, in 1840 one of my ancestors came to this small town and set out to help build it (becomming one of it's founding fathers). So in honor of that I shall call my country town New Mannum.

The town will have a similar town centre layout and even a river (be that blue base plates when they become available)running past it like the real town.

I will be working on more town buildings today (Australian CST).

You are right, the road plates maketh the Town!

Wonderful start to New Mannum. I like the attention to detail and the action scenes you made. Brings life to the pictures.
