Cruising down Route 66

Known as Noddy on Brickshelf, Karwik is synonymizing his name with realistic and stylish minifig bikes. His recent designs only reinforce his mastery of the subject. Check out Noddy’s Silver Shark and M72 Bobber backdropped by a well built gas station.

A look at the urban industrial core

Vitus Barth has created an amazingly detailed and realistic urban industrial diorama a month ago. It’s better that this masterpiece gets blogged late than never, and who would’ve thought that this is only his first large LEGO diorama!

Vehicles by misterzumbi and Tattun

I’m a sucker for great-looking town vehicles. This truck and classic car by Brickshelfers misterzumbi and Tattun are simply great. Thanks to Bruce from Classic-Castle (and VignetteBricks and MircoBricks) for pointing these out.

The Empire of LEGO Town: 10184 Town Plan [News]

Cafe Corner. Market Street. Cement Mixer. Recycle Truck. No longer is the Town theme reserved for endlessly repeated police stations, firehouses and construction vehicles. 2007 has been a truly awesome year for LEGO Town, and it only gets better. Feast your eyes on this set that can only be as a masterpiece:

10184 Town Plan

Check out the Classic-Castle thread for more discussion and pictures.

EDIT: More, high-quality pictures are now available on BrickJournal.com, including pictures of the interior (some pictured below).

For anyone who didn’t know, the man pictured is Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, grandson of Ole Kirk Christiansen, the inventor of LEGO. 10184 Town Plan is a remake of 248 Town Plan Board. The boy seen in the original set is, in fact, Kjeld.
