MOC: Brickston Burough

[Matt Dawson]

There's 1 detail I think you should add though; a 60s Police Box tucked away in the park.

Couldn't agree more!

There is but one major detail you're missing - a height sign on the bridge.

I would like to see some higher resolution images.

This is beyond brilliant.

I'm no fan of Dr. Who myself, but Brickish tends to have at least one of those tucked away somewhere on our displays. Adding one to mine is an excellent suggestion.

I agree completely. The reason why I haven't (yet) is that I couldn't find a sticker that even came close to looking right for the job. I suppose I could have added a yellow tile without any text instead, but it's something I intend to fix later.

I would like to see some higher resolution images.

The photos in the original post are links to the flickr pages housing the photos, but what you get to see there is also 300x500 pixels.

My default settings on flickr are such that the higher resolution images are only available to flickr members, as a measure for controlling who gets to see and copy my work. In the past (when I was still on MOCpages) I've had people copy pictures and pass them off as their own. That has made me very reluctant to share the original pictures (4MPixel, the highest resolution that my five-year old camera allows).

However, because your post made me realise that this is the sort of thing where high resolution pictures are relevant in order to see the details, I've changed the license on the pictures of Brickston so that everybody can see the higher resolution images, irrespective of whether they are flickr members or not, by going to the flickr page and clicking the 'all sizes' link above the pictures.

Cheers,

Ralph

Superb MOC! You are definitely an expert. The train looks phenomenal. I hope to build on your level one of these days.

This is outstanding! I love the train running in the background. Your buildings flow so flawlessly.

I agree with FC, do you have any larger pictures? I'd love to see the detials up close!

Thanks guys.

Thanks

You're welcome.

They are. The majority of the roads was built with brick on its side. The footpaths/sidewalks on cafe corner buildings make using LEGO road plates awkward, IMO. It's fine if you have just a row of buildings and a road in front you can have the buildings sitting on top of the road plates. As soon as you have a side-street, however, this becomes awkward.

I do. Click the pictures in the original post. That will take you to the flickr page with the picture. If you then click 'all sizes' (above the top left-hand corner) you can chose to see higher resolution pictures (and the limitations of the work I did with gimp to remove my living room from the background). the maximum resolution is 4Mpixels, simply because my camera doesn't allow more.

Cheers,

Ralph

Awesome layout! The buildings, the vehicles are all wonderful and very detailed. I really look forward to seeing the expansion of this vivid and lively layout!
