Posted March 31, 200717 yr Well, sometimes when you get a little 'blocked up' on your Space MOCs. You try out different things. I've never owned an actual Town building set. So I decided to Digitize an old one in Lego Digital Designer 2.0 Here's 6365 Summer Cottage Picked it out because it seems to be the most interesting of the Small houses. All you need is to add a TV and it'd be complete(assuming that minifigs dont ever use the bathroom X-D ) The interiour has been updated, with an actual kitchen sink ( I guess it might be an old hand-pumped water faucet) slightly different stove, and a storage cabinet (which I thought was a better choice than the original 'sticker' refrigerator) And from a slightly different angle, we can see a tiny bedroom. With a cool modernized lamp. There are also a few minor changes, the chimmeny, the colors, windows have glass... Costs about 19.50$USD and due to the limitations of LDD2.0 bricks, you supply your own baseplate and minifig. Interestingly enough, the roof slopes take up nearly half the cost. It was staying below 10$ nearly up to the full height of the walls... I'd estimate that once you buy a baseplate to go with it, its about 25$USD. I guess at that price you probably won't want to purchase this one online; most of the bricks are pretty common that you can probably just build it already... or after a trip to a Lego Shop PaB..
March 31, 200717 yr I did some replicas of old sets with LDD 1.6: I'll put online the updated version when I'll finish the conversion to LDD 2.0
March 31, 200717 yr I like your house a lot, I have the original one and your interior is better. In my oppinion the LDD sucks because of the color limitations, I still don't understand why the don't expand the colors available... I think 20$ is a good price for a set like this, and you get a beautiful little house for your city in 80's style. Did you remake other sets?
April 1, 200717 yr I always liked the old houses of the eighties. I self rebuild a 6370 with own bricks altough i never had them (it was with blue walls and red slopes). The creator houses are very good, but a small little house with a minifig would be nice for lego city
April 4, 200717 yr Here there are the remakes of some old sets: http://shop.lego.com/Product/Factory/Produ...33-d9102882dc20 Remake of the 4554 station http://shop.lego.com/Product/Factory/Produ...ef-8f773e121fa0 Remake of the old promotional set 1620
April 4, 200717 yr Author Wow, that Chocolate Factory set looks great. And it has an awesome price too. .11$ per brick while your Station has .14$ per brick. I wonder what's causing the big difference...
April 4, 200717 yr Eurobricks Emperor I would spend a few days of my holidays in this Summer Cottage. My favorite part is the kitchen.
