Springtime in Nagoya

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Andy Hung has constructed a busy post office which draws inspiration straight from the heart of Honshu – both in terms of sedulity, and plain beauty.

Post office, Nihon style.

Andy’s Nagoya Post Office (and especially its flora) is a nice reminder that springtime is on its way all over the world – and even if your town doesn’t have cherry blossoms as eye-popping as the sakura featured here, I’m sure you’ll find something equally fascinating outside the local post office.

So Give Me Coffee And TV

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Or in this case, coffee and a newspaper… It’s been a long wait, but it was well worth it – Modular expert Johan van den Heuvel, who we all know simply as Teddy, has finally come up with another beautiful (and big!) addition to his awesome line-up of modular buildings.

Morning coffee while checking today's paper...

As you can see, this is another brilliant and vibrant MOC, continuing along the lines of Teddy’s “enhanced CC style”, using a 48×48 footprint. Naturaly, it is so full of life that it will fit just right alongside Teddy’s busy Central station or his majestic public library. And you know what the best part is? Mr. Whiskers, Teddy’s cat, has just found himself a new abode upstairs!

Our delivery commitment

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Having a chance to own a few Classic Town vehicles such as the 6653 Highway Maintenance Truck, this is actually the kind of vehicle size you will probably see in the streets of Classic Town.

For the case of delivery goods and parcels to companies and residences safely, I supposed a possible solution provided by Eurobricks Member, Raven Bricksoft, as he now shares his insights on this very Classic 6624 Delivery Van. For myself, I certainly miss such sets!

And you thought that this was a small delivery van? Guess again, because Tom Bricks builds an even smaller 4-stud wide flower delivery van in true classic town style. Head on over to the Eurobricks Town forum to check it out.

Just Another Modular Post Office?

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Nope, definitely not. This one is easily one of the best buildings of its kind that I’ve seen – which is even more inspiring bearing in mind the fact that it is Brickshelf user rileeuw’s first actual modular design. If LEGO do give us a modular Post Office later on, this is probably one of the MOC versions that it will be compared to.

Simple facade, outstanding visual effect. Neatly done!

The perfect combination of colours and high level of architectural accuracy turns this into one of my favourite recent modulars – even though it may not be the biggest or most detailed one. I can’t wait to see what this great MOCcer comes up with next!

Postage and vehicle repairs, right at the corner

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

With the missing post office building in the current City postal theme, Eurobricks member, benny has decided to design his very own Post Office and Service Station at the same time by integrating both iconic buildings together. Do not miss out on both buildings’ interior, as you will be surprised to find out that the loading bay and service bay are some great playing features.

Postal Office

Take a look at this US Postal Office that has distinct color schema of blue, red and white which represent the States mail service. There is even a mail sorting area in its interior for the staff to place the mails in the right boxes, for delivery later. Thanks to our new Eurobricks member, No Towel Lint for sharing it with us.

“Ding Ding”, here comes Mr Mailman

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Eurobricks member, Rapseflaps has recently graduated from the Reviewers Academy and among his recent reviews, one of the notable Classic Town set ever released, was the small 1985 Classic Town, 6689 Post Station.

This incredible tiny looking post station is a wonderful addition of any Classic Town setup, where town citizens like this beautiful lady need to find her way to send her mail. With the trusty red bicycle, it’s not a surprise why the mails are always dispatched regularly.

Expert Lego car builder Plasticman has recently pimped his Mail Van.  He’s added Racer wheels and turned set 7731 into the coolest postal van in the neighborhood.

A Yellow Post Office

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Lego seems to like yellow for postal transportation, but they have not given us a post office for collection, sorting, and distribution of mail.  Lucky for Eurobricks member Joebot, he has the perfect solution – a Yellow Post Office.  With red roof pieces, interesting architecture, awnings, and traditional Lego colors, his creation seems to take on a Classic Town look and would be perfect for Lego’s latest postal truck and tranport plane.
