This section of town, by ericblacky, has buildings with a certain feel to them that I can’t describe. He says they are still a Work in Progress, but I felt I had to blog these. They are quite striking.

Escape from Planet Monday
Sebastiaan Arts was listening to that album while he built he latest creation, so he named it appropriately. I love the two-tiered effect that he has going on here and its packed with the detail that we’ve come to expect from Sebastiaan. Check out all his pics and escape from your Monday (or Saturday…or whatever day it is on the planet you are on). I wanted to escape once….
I want candy
So you think your toys are gangster . . .
No, these toys are gangster. I especially like how Daniel Shehadeh (Sir Regonold) captures the action with the truck on the curb and trash knocked over.
I shall place you on a pillar.
Michael Jasper is brilliant when it comes to Mini-figure scale models–and his pillar technique is no exception.
It seems to be made up of light-saber blades and this gear. You can see more of his mini-figure scale creations here!
Thanks to Bruce for the find!
Interstate Love Song
Esben Kolind shows us how to travel in style with his Intercity Train. On top of its sleek lines and excellent detailing the train features an attractive close-coupling technique.
Building decay
For those builders of post-apoc, military, or realist city, here’s a technique shown on a creation by Marin Stipkovic that shows a nice effect of building decay. The multi-shades of plates mimics the exposed bricks while the gray simulates broken concrete. Looks useful!
Zumbi + Lichtblau = 1975 Ford Taunus
As Tim and Mike demonstrate, collaborative builds need not be limited to once-a-year conventions or take the form of meters-long dioramas.
Lichtblau sent MisterZumbi pics of a Ford Taunus he’d been working on, and the two worked on the design together over the next couple of weeks. Here’s the result, in ever-awesome lime.
6357 Redux
I recently contacted Mike Psiaki about redoing my favourite childhood set 6357 in a modern and detailed form. He agreed and after much conversation, sharing of photos and work this is the result. The helicopter was mostly made by Mike and the truck by me but both were discussed at length to get them looking as good as we could manage. The trailer was a true combined effort with each of us contributing many ideas.
Although Mike has been more busy building than me.
Like decorating a cake
This narrow bakery by valgarise first caught my eye because of its pretty exterior that uses just a few pink bricks to add some nice color highlights. What then drew me in was the number details in the interior.
There are so many cute features, but my favorite is probably the chef on a footstool frosting the cake on the 2nd story.
A very big house. In the country.
It seems that rural scenes are the new black. So soon after we blogged Yvonne Doyle’s English country scene brickshelf shows me Patrick Bosman’s Dutch Landscape. As with Yvonne, Patrick has also build off the grid to add a more organic feeling.
A lovely view of the country
This rustic scene by Yvonne depicts Woodvale in early morning. The buildings borrow their style from the town of Stratford-upon-Avon. I really like how the lighting simulates a sunrise.
