lightningtiger Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 WOW this is awesome! I want this Shell station! It must be an original lego set! Thanks 'LT12V', now while I'm waiting for my 6 red 2x1 door rails to finish the red line along the roof I might design an extra building - a Kmart Tyre & Auto workshop......so AWESOME should continue......but still any suggestions please feel free to post them.....keep watching !

lightningtiger Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 Even though I haven't finished the roof section off yet, here's the two buildings side by side.......now to work out how to fit them into New Mannum ? Link to the progress of the tyre and auto service centre....http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=88379 More still to come keep watching......I need to design some more 6 wide utes Quote
SnapLock Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Great work tiger & remember 'Down Down prices are down" lol Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 Great work tiger & remember 'Down Down prices are down" lol Thanks 'Snaplock'......I should have an aging British rock band playing at the pub shouldn't ? I'm still waiting on those parts.....gee I forgot I need minifigs for the Coles Express itself.....better do that soon I guess ......keep watching ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 Now another quick update......a 5 minute to build ATM..... Another view of the combo..... More to come.....keep watching ! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Wow very nice lift jacks! Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 Wow very nice lift jacks! Thanks for noticing 'LT12V', I don't think anyone has considered making a trolley jack like I have there ? I can't wait to get those missing parts so I can finish the driveway off......but this layout here is wider than 48 studs ! Oh well, I guess I will need more 48x48 base plates then and a rethink on where this all goes to in New Mannum. Keep watching ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 14, 2013 Author Posted November 14, 2013 I decided today to start adding something else.....which means more work......never ending story in a way ! Keep watching ! Quote
LEGO Family Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 This is beginning to take shape and all the stickers really take this whole build to another level. Can i ask what paper you use for the stickers since i myself need to make a whole lot of them for my first modular build. Thanks in advance. :) Also your interior is really impressive. Have you posted the interior for the "rural services" build in another post, or are they on their way ? Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 14, 2013 Author Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the kind words 'LEGO family', I now use matte sticker paper in A4 size since my supplier stopped selling gloss photo sticker paper. Now another little update......note added wall components to two of the three buildings....keep watching ! Edit - Ooop's I forgot to answer that other question......yes, those modules are from another design.....I believe in recycling. Edited November 14, 2013 by lightningtiger Quote
gazumpty Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Looking good LT...I love the work on the Petrol Station canopy and pumps. I would say the 'Tyre/Auto' Centre facade might need a touch of detailing at roof level to break up the blank white plain. Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 14, 2013 Author Posted November 14, 2013 Looking good LT...I love the work on the Petrol Station canopy and pumps. I would say the 'Tyre/Auto' Centre facade might need a touch of detailing at roof level to break up the blank white plain. Thanks for the feedback 'gazumpty', actually a real Kmart Tyre & Auto is that plain on.....though some have a painted effect similar to the one on the front of the counter. I hope within a week or so to finish the canopy.....waiting parts plus I must design the ceiling to it as well.....more parts again.....oh, well keep watching ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 15, 2013 Author Posted November 15, 2013 No more work done to this yet, but I have a question......should I design a car wash to go with it ? Quote
timmyc1983 Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 I think you want to, hence asking the question and I can think of no reason why you shouldn't!! I'd be interested to see your car wash Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 16, 2013 Author Posted November 16, 2013 I think you want to, hence asking the question and I can think of no reason why you shouldn't!! I'd be interested to see your car wash Thanks 'timmy', I will be building to be located east of the Kmart Tyre & Auto.....on the west of the Rural Services will be a lot to display tractors. Keep watching......oh, any suggestions on car wash design would be helpful thanks. Quote
LegoTrainFanatic Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Well, there is this set. (1255) Edited November 16, 2013 by LegoTrainFanatic Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 16, 2013 Author Posted November 16, 2013 Thanks for the suggestion 'LTF', I forgot about that set.....any more suggestions - real life designs ? Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 Quick update...... Keep watching ! Quote
LEGO Family Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Thanks for the info on the sticker printing paper lightningtiger. :) This build of yours are gonna look awesome in the end. The shape its taking is just awesome and im so looking forward to seeing it placed in your bricktown. Keep posting :D Quote
LegoTrainFanatic Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Unless your planning on extending the sidewalk, I think you should move your rural services store a few studs forwards. the side walks don't look like they line up properly. just a suggestion. :) EDIT: post posted twice in same comment somehow. Edited November 17, 2013 by LegoTrainFanatic Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 Thanks 'LEGO family' and 'LTF' for your comments, etc.,. These structures are yet to be fitted to base plates so there will be ramps/sloped pavement leading from the road surface up to the current pavement there. This section looks like it's going to need 3 48x48 base plates ! Anyway, I have a car wash to design next.....keep watching ! Quote
