Rogdush Place: Poland Joined: 2015, jan 21 Seen: 10d 1h Hello Ben! I am glad you like it. Good point with TV crew! I just forgot about that. Lately, I just try to do not think to much because I finish with lots of action and situations at the scenery. You can notice there is no accident here too! hehe.

TV crew would be a good addition here though.

Well, that poster you are talking about is what inspired me to create those block of flats! Your post on the forum with that exceptional scenery. I like it so much! It is just a "City" of Town era. It is so nice to see such buildings created out of ordinary and universal bricks and not some faded CGI background of fake city noise like in new catalogs. This is the essence of LEGO bricks. Original creations!

The truck do not slip because it has a brick underneath joined with the sidewalk. It is not visible :)

Crowd seems to be more interested in go-cart race, no wonder why ;)



Ben Place: Utrecht Joined: 2017, sep 24 Seen: 26M 3d Again an excellent creation! It looks like a LEGO version of the Monaco F1 race/Monte Carlo Rallye! I think it is because of the two layers.. Monaco is also a hilly coast town:)



The towers remind me of the extremely rare 1989 Danish 'Frisk i Trafik' poster, as discussed in the forum.http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4453918

Your towers are just as nice! 4/5 levels up is indeed high enough; they do not need to be skyscrapers!



One thing I miss though are the TV crews and helicopter (e.g. sets 6553, 6659, 6661) that registrate the race! Place them on top of the towers and at strategic places near the circuit:) Or is a simple cart race not important enough for live TV coverage?



Funny that the crowd has no interest in the space shuttle transport:-)



How come that truck on the ramp does not slip down? You fixed it on the bottom with the road plate, right?

Evans Place: 20Km from Paris, France Joined: 2015, nov 15 Seen: 8M 25d You are right, grey parts are so annoying to find... That's why I'm just from ordering more than 300 1x1 Lt.Grey headlights, I have an idea for using them. It was the good moment to buy them, as these were only 0,03 € per part. I just hope it will be enough...

6539 seems good, there just have to expand the building part which is too small, and you can have something interesting. You should have built 1966 in 6539 color scheme, it would have looked better with the truck. :)



Evans Place: 20Km from Paris, France Joined: 2015, nov 15 Seen: 8M 25d I know those parts are less easy to find than usual colors. But what I do is buying a small amount of the parts you need to but in large quantities, so it will be better. That's what I do with grey slopes, or special slopes parts. So the number keeps growing. :) You can find Lt.Grey 2x2 bricks for less than 0,10 € per part in large quantities, you should watch BL. :) If you spend 15€ on 150 2x2 bricks, you will be able to reuse them later, in other great creations.



The color of green and red from 1983 Burger Stand sign should be inverted, but you own one of those unusual copies that were misprinted. Check on images from the Internet.



Indeed, that's why I find it interesting. You recreated 1966 set with your own parts, it's the perfect addition to any karting track.

I hope seeing interior of those buildings, these looks interesting.

If I could, I would build whole bridge pilars from grey bricks and maybe some black :) It is crazy though, how much would it cost. I could probably make two roadplates from grey bricks I have. I am improvising with what I got. Red and yellow are the most common bricks and I have lots of them. How the sticker is misprinted? You mean snackbar sign? It points to left, where snackbar is located :)

I do not recall to see any gocart track prestented in original catalogs, but lots of sets came out with gocarts. I thought it will be nice to use it.

The residential blocks have interior filled and I shall present them separately in MOCs section.
