Pardastic Waterworld

Leave a reply

Now that winter is upon us (at least for us on the Northern hemisphere…), don’t you just long for a trip to a more tropical climate, where you can relax by the pool? This waterpark built by Legopard sure makes me long for that… Just look at those palm trees, giving the tropical feel, and those lovely swimming pools to take a dip in when getting too hot. And I’m sure they have refreshing drinks and ice cream at the bar. There’s even some fun slides for the kids.

Now go tell Legopard what you think here.

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.

Scena Veneziana

Legolas73 is starting to become a regular feature here on Classic-Town – which is no wonder, considering the reception of his MOCs on Eurobricks. After showing us around his Meridional Neighbourhood a couple of months ago, he now takes us for a walk along the canals of Venice.

Gondolas - check. Bridges - check. Lovers - check. Definitely Venice then.

As to just how accurate this portrayal of the ancient city is – I’ll be able to pass judgement in a few months, when I’m back from Venice myself. Even now though I can say that I applaud the daring decision to try and capture the atmosphere of one of the world’s most renowned tourist destinations in bricks.

Adding Creator Houses to Your Table Town?

Many LEGO fans have applauded LEGO’s return to creative building over the past couple of years, with the Creator Houses line being a prime example. Eurobricks Town Moderator TheBrickster wonders whether they go well with LEGO’s City theme and are suitable for inclusion in Town layouts with or without modifications.

Eurobricks member and Northern Illinois Lego Train Club’s (NILTC), Pepa Quin has shared with us his latest exhibit, known as the “Ladies’ Night at the Palace Hotel Ballroom” which was unveiled recently at the public library at St. Charles, Illinois, United States.

Inspired by the movie The Blues Brothers, this is an exciting scene where the duol finished their concert and dashed out of the building to avoid being caught by the authorities.
