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.

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.
