December 11, 201311 yr Author After having bad news about my home town today I decided to try and pick myself up......and do even more work. Keep watching as there is tons more to come !
December 11, 201311 yr Author Another update......more tomorrow, the four shops so far will be completed.....then plans will start for the rest....keep watching !
December 11, 201311 yr Heh... My dear LT... You are a genius. I just love this store...so many cool things inside. That "open" sticker is top!!! You're the man!!!
December 11, 201311 yr Author Thanks 'monsinjor' and 'gazumpty', now that open sticker is from the Friend's cafe set.....yep, I nicked the front door from it ! The Landmark store will be completed today......hopefully this morning, note to self.....must make more stickers.....lots ! Keep watching......oh, any fresh suggestions that would fit an Aussie country town.....small to medium size ?
December 11, 201311 yr Looking good. But dont rush anything. And im curious to know what a landmark store sells?
December 12, 201311 yr Author Thanks 'LEGO Family', now a Landmark store supplies farm chemicals, tools, animal care/feed, irrigation and fencing suppies......remember my town is a country town in among farms. Now a huge update...... What shop should be next ? Keep watching anyway....
December 12, 201311 yr Looks really good, LT! I like your building style. I grew up in a small, country town, and many of our stores were very similar to this. My suggestions for next shop: -Grocery store -Small engine (lawn mower, weed eater, etc) repair shop -Automotive repair shop -Video store -Ice Cream Parlor -Automotive supply store -Small library Great layout thus far!
December 12, 201311 yr Very nice! I like the simple yet fantastic design of these buildings. An idea I did have was a haberdashery (aka hat shop). I look forward to see this project progress further

Thanks 'dhc6twinotter', I'm planning on building an old car dealer/garage based around designs from the 1930's through to the early 50's......mmm, might get a start on it today....keep watching !
December 12, 201311 yr Author Very nice! I like the simple yet fantastic design of these buildings. An idea I did have was a haberdashery (aka hat shop). I look forward to see this project progress further Thanks 'Overcold', though drapery shops sold haberdashery as well plus I do have hats are on the top shelf in the LOWES. Wow lightningtiger, this is great! Thanks 'Oran', keep watching.......after the old car dealer garage, then a new old hardware store, grocery/supermarket, bank, hotel, chemist/drug store and maybe a bakery/cafe.....I'm going to be busy eh ?
December 12, 201311 yr Nice updates there! I like the entrance way to the Landmark store, very unique! I look forward to seeing the next instalments! Happy building
December 12, 201311 yr Author Nice updates there! I like the entrance way to the Landmark store, very unique! I look forward to seeing the next instalments! Happy building Thanks 'timmy', I chose that entrance design because of cash flow problems again......no new parts - can't afford them this week. My wife cheered me up tonight with a surprise early Christmas present.....a ticket to see Brian Cadd and Glenn Shorrock tomorrow night so I'll be online tomorrow but maybe not tomorrow night ! Now I'n finalising my garage design......though I'm still having trouble working on the art deco angle on it......keep watching !
December 13, 201311 yr Author I've started creating a new street scape to go with what I have so far......keep watching !
December 13, 201311 yr Author It's starting to really come together slowly...... More to come....as usual....so keep watching !
December 13, 201311 yr Author Fresh angle..... Now should a garage, hardware or grocery store go next to the LOWES ? Keep suggesting.....keep watching !
December 13, 201311 yr Nice progression LT I really like the awning supports on the corner store :) A think a toy store or lego store would be cool :P
December 13, 201311 yr Author Thanks 'gazumpty' and 'Trevor_F' for your kind words.......well, 'Trevor_F' once this is finished it will be beyond UCS brick count....so a set would be beyond huge ! 'gazumpty's suggestion of a toy shop.....not really, I base all my buildings on similar ones from a small town.....usually populations under 1000.....not enough to support a toy store.....though if I build a newsagent.....they can include a Toyworld....be that a small one. Now if a newsagent is included that could lift the building count to 10 or more structures in a row ! Anyway, keep watching.......oh, yeah....keep suggesting too !
December 14, 201311 yr Author A small gas station? Or a garage for your countiy utility truck? Ah, that's the Shell which is going on the outside of the town centre........my brain is still nutting over the problem. Keep watching !
December 14, 201311 yr This row of shops just keeps getting better. I LOVE that butcher and the Landmark store is a great idea. You know all the small towns thrive on gossip, and the perfect place for men's version of gossip is the barber shop, of course. Ladies will do that anywhere, but I think every town needs a barber shop.
