Fire Brigade @ Brickworld

Is it just me - or do these photgraphs make the colours look even better than the first pictures we saw.

Market Street available again in Europe!



10190 Market Street is available again from Shop @ Home in Europe. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the American Shop @ Home.

Red House


Built by Marcin ImpreSariO over at Flickr, this building features some nicely hand made windows along with a great first floor facade. It's a great addition to any Cafe Corner set up. Nice work!

Monika Building



A simple building designed by Flickr member Pepper Ronni. The brick built letters and the simple design make it a nice addition to any street set up.

Small Office Building


This is a great little creation by DARKspawn over at Flickr. The red and gray clash great together and the whole set up is simple, yet elegant.

And for those government people out there, you're represented as well with a brand new, shiny city hall with its own clock, pigeons, and satellite dish!

Great work DARKspawn!

Cafe Corner Compatible Theater



By Nathan E.'s MOCpages gallery. As you can see, it has some amazing color mixing going on, especially with the new colored green and dark red. The architecture is also nice, not overly done like the sets, but yet beholds a nice realism to it.

Nice work, Nathan!
