BlueBard Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Hello, everybody! Thanks to the spanish AFOL community's "barter market" I've obtained a lot of City elements (mostly roadplates ) for my City Display. If you remember, I proposed a poll for deciding between two display options (a "compact" one and a T-shaped one). Well, now I present you the ultimate design, that I've already started to build, where I'll have all the advantages I was looking for: building's facades visibility, a little side street, a lot of place for MF's sidewalk's scenes (12-wide), room for vehicles... If everything's good the final thing will be finished for next June or July Here are some "prelim" shots: Hope you'll like it Quote
Rick Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Hope you'll like it Yup I always like these street scenes. Looking forward to seeing it in bricks. Quote
MetroiD Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 I think us Otters will be catching the first plane to Spain to see this in person when it's completed . You've been building this Town layout so long and thoroughly that it's become legendary! Have fun putting it all together my friend, I know you will! Quote
BlueBard Posted May 3, 2010 Author Posted May 3, 2010 Thanks, people! Have fun putting it all together my friend, I know you will! And I hope you'll have fun too discovering all the details around! I'm preparing the photo shoot with a couple of friends, professional photographers, for having a large and "as best as possible" gallery for this project that actually took me two years (but I build slow, I know, or more precisley I build fast but I've not many time for it ) Quote
MetroiD Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 ...but I build slow, I know... Hey wait a sec, you're Usain Bolt compared to me & Asya - we still haven't even got started on an actual layout. So don't worry, there's always someone (way) slower than you! Looking forward to those pro photos you were talking about... sounds delicious! Quote

Well, looking at some MOC expert's works it looks like they could do a display like this every week , but I suppose that in slowness and expectation is the real mocish elegance Quote
prateek Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Ze ultimate! I love your street scenes. I can't wait for the real thing. One thing I'd change is the black sidewalk to light grey. Quote
BlueBard Posted May 4, 2010 Author Posted May 4, 2010 One thing I'd change is the black sidewalk to light grey. Why? I mean I've never been a fan of grey sidewalks and I've "adopted" the black ones as one of my own builder-marks long time ago, since I had the idea during a little visit to Paris, where a lot of sidewalks are actually black or, at least, really dark grey Quote

I see your point. IMO grey sidewalks are more realistic, because they are grey in Canada. BTW, I just noticed your bus stop. It's so cool Edited May 4, 2010 by prateek Quote
