MOC: Mitre 10 Hardware Store and other shops

[jonwil]

Looking good as always.

I would suggest changing some of the grey around the ANZ ATM into blue to fit with the ANZ color scheme, I think it would look better.

I also think that the part on the payphone just above the tile with all the buttons on it should be a different color, say blue or orange to fit with the Telstra color scheme.

Just some thoughts based on looking at the pictures.

Thank you 'jonwil' , changes will be made and you are right about the ATM and the colour blue....colour ANZ blue stickering will do the trick and that tiny change to the pay phone - no problem.

Updates later on today.

Keep on watching !

Absolutely fantastic Lightningtiger! These two are a great addition to your LEGO main street!

[lightningtiger]

Thanks 'sens1992' for your kind comments and now a quick update......

'jonwil' was right......, I think I might have hit the nail on the head with my atm.

Keep on banking !

[jonwil]

Looks much better.

An ANZ logo sticker on that 1 x 4 tile just above the ATM (white on blue background) would complete the look IMO and make it absolutely clear who's ATM it is :)

These are very realistic lightningtiger. Great job, looking forward to seeing more.

In my opinion the light part of the street lamps is too big. I'd try to make it without the curved slope.

But it's beautiful to see your diorama growing. Keep on "dioraming"

[jonwil]

Seeing how good this is has made me think about building a Bank for the next club train layout. Well not a bank actually but a Police & Nurses Credit Society branch (they are the only financial institution still based in Western Australia)

[lightningtiger]

Thanks 'jonwil', 'erik530195' and 'mautara' for your comments/suggestions, etc., now the light fittings are that way to try and look like the ones used in my home state. They have not a flat top but curved top.

Hopefully I can do somemore work tonight on the supermarket, had to use LDD to work out the layout of the floor and it is the same size as the hardware store.

Updates when available, so keep on watching !

even though I like the clock tower, this one is the second fave.... I like the simpleness with it and the fact it is not just gray and white... LOL a lot of gray and white ones already done and well different colors are nice to see... in a couple more days I will be seeing too much gray and white outside and having to shovel out my truck and cars will suck.. so any build that keeps that thought out of my head is nice....LOL

Thanks.

I'll be buying some parts today to complete the checkout area and shelves in the supermarket, plus planning a new Mensland menswear store but still in a stylish art deco form, well back to Google Images, etc., updates later on.....hopefully today !

Keep on watching !

[lightningtiger]

Sorry, everyone I'll have to update later on today, need to go to Toy Corner first to buy those tiles !

Having a little trouble finding an image I can build from or at least in part....thinking of re-including Target Country in the mix too (that also needs a slight redesign if it is re-included).

First updates should be early afternoon S.A. time.

Keep on watching !

You South Aussies are lucky to have retail shops that you can go to and buy parts from, us in the west have no such thing :(

Yep, lucky I guess....I'm out the front right now wait for the shop to open.

Like I said updates shortly.....keep on watching !

[lightningtiger]

A new work-in-progress and I named it after my son.

Oh, yeah I fixed up a little problem in the hardware store.

Comments welcome and I'm a conformist! everyone !

[lightningtiger]

If I may ask.....I planning of bringing back the Mensland store but question is with or without the curved window ?

Any suggestions also for items to go on those vertical plates in the supermarket ?

Keep on suggesting !

Err..you could put fish on the plates in the supermarket as well as chicken. Maybe discount wall with just random pieces on it (as you can tell im not very good with suggestions). It all looks great so far .

Thanks, CB

Thanks for the suggestions 'crabboy329', sadly there is no room for a service deli which has cooked chickens on sale. I'm think bags of sweets or pre-packaged meals or women's hosiery.....I'm still thinking....oh, yeah my park is being simplified a little to be a centre piece of the town centre.

Updates later today so keep on watching !

No I really ment clipping them onto a wall, a bit barbaric but hey. Although a better idea is tinned food like baked beans or pot noodel. As always great work .

Thanks, CB
