Painted Ladies Discrict

Friends is all the rage these days, and Hoexbroe’s victorian houses is yet another example of how brightly colored bricks can be blended nicely in a city layout. There are lots of nice details to look at here, and even though the houses at first look almost identical except for the colors, they are far from so. Even the  garage doors are all different. Be sure to also check out the awesome car in front of the blue house. Now that’s a beauty!

He has also added some cute little scenes with the Friends dolls, like this one, which is my personal favourite, the girls playing basketball.

Check out his topic on Eurobricks and tell him what you think! He has also recently added a fifth house.

Review: Olivia’s House

The Friends reviewing frenzy continues on Eurobricks with Pandora reviewing the biggest set of the first wave of Friends sets: Olivia’s House. The set is packed with details and what you see on the outside in the picture below is just the start. The house features a full interior with very clever builds. And whereas the Friends line introduces some great new accessories, most of the interior detailing in the set is achieved with familiar LEGO pieces.

French Town Royville

Henrik Hoexbroe has created a lovely diorama of a French town – Royville – in the 1960s. It features – among others – an art-deco style petrol station, a Citroën car dealer, a hotel, and a train station. It’s very much ‘alive’ because of the many little scenes and Henrik’s brilliant car MOCs.

To start showing us how he-rebuilt all of his previous modular buildings and how he agonized over which scale to settle on, he’s brought us an in-depth history of his Yellow Modular House:

Alex takes scale very seriously and provides all of his reasoning and conclusions in a very in-depth discussion. He shares his experience so you can learn how to build a fantastic layout like his! The result truly is amazing…and so is his clever use of binoculars. :)

Livin’ Large in Midtown

This project by wooootles (yeah, that is a lot of o’s) has been a long time in the making. Obviously, the effort was worth it.

Midtown Condos - hopefully clear of tentacles this time.

I’m not sure how many apartments this complex contains, but it should provide ample housing for pretty much any LEGO tabletown. What’s even better is that the condominium is just one part of a sweet-looking town layout that wooootles has planned – so keep an eye out!
