Posted September 23, 201113 yr B-OM-8B Hi! Here are some pictures of my first block in my new town. Please don´t hesitate with any comments, questions or criticisms... (More and bigger pictures can be found at my flickr.) Edited October 11, 201113 yr by RedGiant
September 23, 201113 yr Hello Red Giant, These are awesome buildings! The painting on the white house is great! Felipe
September 23, 201113 yr A very impressive and fantastically built run-down part of a city, your pavement with drains a huge and there appears a lot of activity going on - another ! Great work 'RedGiant' and Brick On !
September 23, 201113 yr First, welcome to EB! Next, excellent city block 'RedGiant'. I love the details you put in this display, especially the exposed brick on the white building. It seems that you are experienced with Lego. Very well done
September 23, 201113 yr Fantastic details although I'm not a fan of tiled sidewalks. The Jamaican(?) flag in the back window is a great touch. Edited September 23, 201113 yr by tedbeard
September 23, 201113 yr This is your new town, and already the decay has set in? :) Great-looking buildings. I love the weathering touches and all the things going on, like the kid with the SW mask. Nice! Oh, and I just had to add: The sports/memorabilia shop is a really good idea. And that narrow gray building in between the two others is also a great touch.

September 23, 201113 yr Great work RedGiant! also, in the last picture... ....I spy a Stormy helmet and Vader's helmet! Edited September 23, 201113 yr by Lord Of The Fries
September 23, 201113 yr Your town looks a little sketchy... I don't know if I will feel safe walking down the street.
September 24, 201113 yr You have some magnificent details all around your MOC (kids playing with star wars helmets, A/C pipes, the exposed red bricks, so how) All together, including the buildings architecture, give a very realistic and dynamic MOC, just the way I like it. Great job and build more like these
September 24, 201113 yr Lovely details, it feels very lived in which I assume is the point. I also love the run down white building, beautiful.
September 24, 201113 yr Wow, that looks very realistic. An interesting change from the normal, "cleaner" look of buildings. Great work.
September 24, 201113 yr Author Thank you all for your kind comments! Fantastic details although I'm not a fan of tiled sidewalks. The Jamaican(?) flag in the back window is a great touch. What do you have against tiled sidewalks? The "Jamaican flag" is actually a "rastafari venetian blind"...
September 24, 201113 yr The exposed brick is fantastic - a really great detail to add. I also like the boarded up window; it really adds to the scene that you've created. The small details really add to the build, such as the blinds in the window, the rubbish, the items in the shop window, the detail in the thin building, the machinery on the back of the buildings...and also, all of the small stories of the characters - the busker, the delivery man, the punk with his letter etc. It's fabulous - I've been looking at it for ages trying to take it all in.
September 24, 201113 yr Agreeing with the others, these are really great buildings with lots of great details in this not-so-shiny-clean look.
September 24, 201113 yr Great atmosphere, the minifigs and the details are perfect for this block. Edited September 24, 201113 yr by sharkone
September 24, 201113 yr Every time I look at this I see a new detail I overlooked before. Excellent work, and I can't wait to see more from you. Blogged on Brick Town Talk!
September 24, 201113 yr Author Thank´s again for your comments! You are all too kind! Every time I look at this I see a new detail I overlooked before. Excellent work, and I can't wait to see more from you. Blogged on Brick Town Talk! Oh my... Thank you!
September 24, 201113 yr The title of this thread is slightly misleading, you know? The description helped me realize what this was about luckily enough! Your town block is certainly different from what we see most of the time. Most town designs seem to be idealized and slightly Utopian. Apart from being very realistic and full of detail and life, your design takes a different, more realistic approach. It's oustanding, and I can only thank you for sharing, because I have no criticisms or suggestions! Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see more of your town.
September 24, 201113 yr All I can say is WOW to the white building, great job! I love it! Hopefully this will be the first of many blocks.
September 25, 201113 yr Amazing houses, the weathering is excellent. Also the backyard is very realistic. Well done.
September 25, 201113 yr This is really cool. I love how you did the white building making the brick show through. I also love the back of the buildings with all the "junk" I love it Charlie
