Brickington Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Stickers....ah, yes.....created them myself......Goggle Images, MS Paint and an ink jet printer.......photo sticker paper. Do you think one could do torsos that way? Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 Do you think one could do torsos that way? Yep, do it all the time I do.......how do you think I have so many different female members of my town.....I get to choose how hot they can look ! Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Yep, do it all the time I do.......how do you think I have so many different female members of my town.....I get to choose how hot they can look ! Knowing that why don't you make a pub with a 'adult room ' upstairs? Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 Knowing that why don't you make a pub with a 'adult room ' upstairs? Well, I'm leaving the pub as a single storey and I would have a hard time explaining to the children visiting the train show what's going on in there ! Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 You could build a single story pitched roof building while having the adult bit upstairs,but covered via a door (I could build you a lego safety door with lock) Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 You could build a single story pitched roof building while having the adult bit upstairs,but covered via a door (I could build you a lego safety door with lock) Perhaps, but no.....I still need to install ceilings into the pub and Holden dealer.....keep watching !

Alasdair Ryan Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Could you add such a feature to your existing pub? Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Could you add such a feature to your existing pub? I would have to redesign the whole building and costs would blow out......I still have other things to finish first. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 I'm currently working out where the servo will sit in my layout.......test shot. Of course it will go on the usual 48x48 in the end with some pavement to drive vehicles in and out of the servo. More to come.....keep watching ! Quote
ukwizard Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 What an absolutely awesome and wonderful Aussie street. Please tell me if the plans are available so I can build similar and also the stickers/logos where are they from? I am a keen lego collector in Perth, WA and seen some great ideas on here. Thanks for the inspiration. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Thanks for the wonderful and positive vibes 'monsinjor' and 'ukwizard'. Now, well I don't mind have many times people ask about the stickers, the images are sourced from the net, I then process them in MS paint (Windows desktop accessory) and print them out on photo sticker paper from Officeworks on an ink jet printer. The designs were in my head.....no instructions, I free style build most things.....but in saying that I do test out designs in LDD. My advice would be to start where I started using the modern Lego city building style (like city corner or the bank/TRU store) and then work from there to improve each structure. Plus it's up to you if you choose to tile roads or use ready-made base plates..it all depends on the style and image you are looking for. Brick On everyone ! (updating again within a few days.....I hope) Quote
gazumpty Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Great advice there LT ... I'm curreently in between designing my CMF entries and awaiting some parts for the Servo Showdown. Hopefully get them all done! Quote
Luke_likes_Lego Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 .... do you guys have beavers? No, we guys don't have beavers LLL Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) No, we guys don't have beavers LLL And another one flies over another's head ! I remember from the first Naked Gun film......Nice beaver......Thanks, I just had it stuffed ! Anyway, that's off-topic......I'm finalising the remaining base plates over the next two weeks.....and hopefully I can fit the gas station....Servo Showdown one into the town layout. Edited March 7, 2013 by lightningtiger Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 *snigger* Yes, double snigger.......wait, it's scooting off topic again.....oop's ! I'm waiting to see what everyone in the showdown are doing before my next move gas station wise.....like maybe I could add something extra in the mix ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 Here we go I have moved the Caltex in.....some trimming still needs to be done. More to come of course.......keep watching....again ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Finished the service station base plate today...... Keep watching more still to come ! Quote
LegoCityMann Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I loving the fact that your servo showdown entry fits perfectly into the New Mannum. I Absolutely love it. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks 'LCM' and that's why I both entered the contest plus designed this servo like this so it would fit perfectly and solved the end of the road problem. Best I get started on the other end of the road this week eh ? Quote
Aussie BJ Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Love those large fences what set are to off? I've never seen them before. Also like the fresh tar on the driveway, who did you contract for that? Boral I guess they usually do a good job. ;-) Quote

LEGO Guy Bri Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Love those large fences what set are to off? It's a 'bar' element found in these sets Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 It's a 'bar' element found in these sets Gee, only two sets in that silver pearl colour eh ? At least in that tone it fits a high security fence perfectly. Quote
