Mexican Village WIP

[Kanaju]

Beautiful town Brickster! I always liked the Wild West theme, but they never had a Spanish style town. If this were a set I'd buy it!

[WesternOutlaw]

Thanks guys!

I've taken a picture with the last addition to the Mexican Village, Senor' Palomar's Hacienda.

I'll share a few more raw images before final break-down.

Looks great and I love the video. Did you just get a new camera or something? I see you started adding videos. They are great too. Very well done.

[Milan]

Looking really good.

[Hound Knight]

That's amazing Brickster! Great video, nice music choice.

So you're going to take it apart soon?

[Rick]

Nice display again TheBrickster. I also like the small ruins with the canon you have added.

[Teddy]

He TheBrickser,

beautyfull new addition!

Are you planning to build for example a market square or something to line up your buildings in a different way next?

Or are you planning to keep on adding as it is?

Kind regards,

Teddy

Hello!

I've seen all those great creations alone, but gathered to a wonderful large-scale setup, they look even more impressive!

There seem to be a problem with the video though. It says "contains content of Sony music" and thus "is not available in my country" (Germany). How can a video with bricks contain Sony Music content? I'm slightly confused now.

Cheers,

As always, thanks for your positive feedback.

I received the alert after uploading the video to Youtube. The only thing that I can think of is my camera is a Sony. I've had it for a number of years and have never had a problem before (although I've only uploaded a few videos over the years). I thought it maybe had to do with the tag "Zorro". Not sure.

To make up for it though, I've taken some new un-edited photos of the entire town. Let's try this:

This is the complete diorama, with all of the Old Mexico creations (except for the Spanish Mission that I took apart earlier for parts).

[Legostein]

Thank you!

For this extra effort. Now I can see the diorama in its entire excellence. I hope you plan to update nice homepage with all your new creations.

Cheers,

Great job, Brickster. My favorite part would have to be the cantina, although all of the little details you put in are great. I like the idea of taking a video of the whole thing as well, it not only shows all of the details that might be overlooked in the pictures, but shows how well you take care of your bricks and has some great music as well.

I take it you're taking a break on your desert layout?

Thanks LS. I wish I could update the web page (esp. w/ all the revised Returne to Grave Stone Images). Unfortunately, I no longer own Front Page or a Web Page editor. My creations can be found on FlickR though, as well as Brickshelf.

Thanks for commenting Jim. Honestly, I can't bring myself to taking it apart. I added some Mexican Soldiers yesterday evening. I must say that it looks a lot better up-close vs. the pictures. Maybe I'll make a new video before I destroy.

(Sorry it took so long to reply). I meant your desert layout in the Licensed forum, with the ruins and train tracks. It looks like you used a lot of tan parts here, so I thought you took apart your desert layout.

Yes Jim - I took apart the Indy Desert dirama a few months ago. It got replaced with my current Train & Town layout with modulars.

There may be a train coming to the Mexican Town with No name:

While I have a light idea of what I'll be adding, do any of you have any good suggestions as to what type of train might be a nice addition to the old Mexican Village?

EDIT: A classic-style version of BMW's Pancho Villa Train would be fantastic.
