Again, a good example of what I call the roadplate-problem. Their approach was to place the CC houses adjacent to the road baseplates without overlapping, but this increases the sidewalk with another 6 studs.
Hi, I can see what akos is saying about this problem and I was expecting the pavement/sidewalk to look huge, but I think it looks OK, especially with the cycle path in there. Cycle paths in the UK are Green, so that would give it more variety. I think it gives more room to 'play' with things on the pavement as 8 studs really isn't enough. I was overlapping my CC with my road plates, but think I will change to this method, what do you think?
This blog is great, keep it up! I think I will start my own blog with Lego things happening in my life and I hope to post loads of comments on here too. Darren
This approach has an advantage, it is the easiest to implement. However, it requires a 8+6=14L tiled sidewalk around the block. So in the end, a 20L road is delimited by 28L sidewalk. The overlapping approach (http://bricktowntalk.blogspot.com/2007/06/burlingtons-layout.html) can be mode diffcult to implement because of the 6L gaps it creates (one would have to erect a 12wide building between two Café Corner sets, for example). But it would use less tiles and the sidewalk to rad proportion would be more realistic. For group layouts, I would probably try to standardize on the adjacent-placement method, where there is no overlapping. For my own purposes, I will experiment with another placement method. My diorama takes place in the past, so I don't want to use baseplates with road patters anyways. I will use 48x48 baseplates that would have tile-covered roads on the edge(es) and the CC-houses would be placed on them without stud-locking. (Baseplate-on-baseplate.)
From AVCampos' Gallery.
Yes it is a very good MOC not from AVCampos it's from another member of PLUG (portuguese lug) called LTS (Luís trindade santos)
ReplyDeleteI wrote it was from AVCampos' gallery. But thank you for the extra information.
ReplyDeleteHow are you? Have you built anything new lately?

ReplyDeleteNahh I haven't been building much...
ReplyDeleteUnless you want to post a LDD creation...
