Thanks, Kevin. I do have bushes that could be placed on there.

Keith Marshall started the topic 60052 – Freight train in the forum All Things LEGO! 9 years, 4 months ago
Hey everyone, Mr. Bear is back. After a few months of dumping money into my car, and mindlessly staring at the tv, I went and bought the latest freight train set to get back in the swing of things.
I put it together last night and started running the train around a bit last night, but noticed that it was struggling a little going around curves.…[Read more]

…I hate Microsoft and their updates. Laptop decided to shut down in the middle of everything. Guess I’m done for the night.

Good news. After going through nine different flash drives stashed in various places in my house, I found the one I need. Now to get back to it…

You underestimate yourself. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. Have faith in yourself, man! Lol

I am open to any suggestions to improve things, but yes that may make things look too clean.

Shot from the back. It is hard to see, but there is just a hole in the wall where a window should be.

Another shot of it.

The old busted up truck in the yard. Wouldnt be complete without a cinder block holding it up, a missing wheel, and a missing engine, right?

A short burst of creativity, a shoebox full of bricks, and an hour or so later (it takes time to dig through a shoebox of pieces), we have Grandpa’s Cabin. This will most likely end up as part of the rather large layout that we have been talking about in my introduction thread…minus the baseplates of course.

Map. All of the purple/black is that open real estate I was talking about. And no, the layout will not be flat. lol

Until I am able to get that up here, I can at least give you more information. The only base plates that will be used will be the gray 15″ x 15″ (48 stud x 48 stud) base plates. I am going to need a total of 512 of them. I think I have 2 at home and I just ordered 2 more. I have a long way to go. The layout will have three sides open for viewing,…[Read more]

If the file is small enough I can upload the map that I have drawn up so far. Currently it is pretty ugly, there’s a ton of open real estate since I scrapped the old one and started over.

I’ve been wanting to do something like this since I was a kid. It will still be some time before I get much done. Maybe I will build something small tonight and put pictures up.

Keith Marshall replied to the topic Good afternoon in the forum Introductions 9 years, 7 months ago
There are currently 33 LDD files just for the layout alone, not including different vehicles that I have created. There will be well over 500 files when I am finished. Yes, I am crazy. 🙂

The pizza shop that I have incorporated is from set 7641. I was lucky enough to come across the set on Amazon about a year ago, and probably paid way too much for it, but I have it. That’s a start, right?

For a flat overhead view, I am drawing it in MS Paint (one pixel = one stud), and as I go, I build each 48 stud by 48 stud section in LEGO digital designer. I am incorporating a set here and there, but the majority of it comes out of this crazy, creative mind of mine. One end of it has part of a city, and it will slowly end up in a remote area at…[Read more]

I do now. I was on the site on my phone earlier, so I didn’t get a chance to look at much.

This will end up being built. Just have to make it through the design phase first. And save money. I already scrapped one drawing that took me a good bit of time to come up with, and started over. This is my winter project.
