Town

Here you can find ideas and building instructions for everything you need in a present day LEGO town.

Houses

Visit café Rednu nwod. It's partially underground, but the glass roof gives plenty of light. There are also other places where you can get something to eat and drink. The architects have also been busy designing places to live both for those who prefer their own place, and for those who prefer the luxury of a hotel.

Furniture

Desks, chairs, and other furniture for the minifigs.

Phone Box and Bus Stops (other site)

I found this phone box and these two bus stops in Allanton. Both of the bus stops are good high capacity alternatives to Katrines design.

Art

City X'ers have sponsored a small travelling art exhibition, which will be coming to Bregnerod soon.

Ed Boxer's Downtown (other site)

A town with several well-named architectural pearls. (I really envy those who got their names on Ed's buildings.)

Town Planner Project (other site)

Erik Wilson suggests that a lot of LEGO maniacs cooperate to create a large LEGO town on the Web. There are some guidelines for creating LEGO'ised versions of real world buildings.

Small town

I built this with my sisters (a long time ago). There is a tall wind mill in the middle of the town. (From the lower left corner and clockwise) you see a sailing boat with a dinghy, some houses, a service station, the airport, some racing cars (one on a trailer), a café, a house, a playground, some more houses, and the harbour (two hovercrafts and a ferry).

An even smaller town (other site)

Shiri's little town Helfire is definitely worth a visit. It has practically everything a town needs on a single 32*32 plate.

Brickenrocker Guitars (other site)

Purveyor of instruments to Legoland.

Allanton N.Z. (other site)

Allan's designs give many good ideas. Anybody want a bit of exercise in the King Kong Klub health & fitness centre?

Bregnerod Power System

The source for power plants for your LEGO towns.

Cars

Two companies are competing for the market for small cars that fit on the roadplates. In addition to their products there are a few "wide" cars (30-50 LU) on the market.

Planes

With a sketch for the small one-man jet Sal Colibri from the comic Yoko Tsuno. There is also a smaller-than-minifig scale fighter.

Animals

I don't like all those one-piece animals LEGO sells us, so I have collected ideas for building some animals.

Bridges

There are LEGO bridges with a free span from 10 cm to 1 m. If you only need a short span, you can throw some beams on pillars, but if you have to span a large gap, a girder bridge, or a suspension bridge is needed.

Trains

You can't just build a LEGO bridge. We had to create some rolling stock for the construction workers. The first thing they wanted was dining waggons, and then they thought the welding equipment needed wheels too.

There is also an extra wide monorail train from Bregnerod Bybane (a division of Bregnerod Transit Authority).

Shipping

At the moment there is only a few photos of Luna. A sailing ship Tobias and I built in August 1997.

Bregnerod

This town is put together from various buildings Katrine and I had built in July 1997. The public services in Bregnerod includes a police station, post office, bus stop, and a monorail service. The public transportation system in Bregnerod is managed by Bregnerod Transit Authority.

Datsville (other site)

Datsville is a cooperative town project with buildings by "architechts" from around the world. Last time I visited Datsville they had just got a new college and a water tower. The acting mayor didn't have a town hall yet. I hope somebody will build him one.

Museum of Modern Art (other site)

Take a tour of this nice collection of paintings, sculptures, and collages.

Polar base

You might not need a polar base in an average LEGO town, but the helicopter I made for the base can also move passengers in warmer weather.

San Dilego (other site)

City guide to the costal city of San Dilego.

Building a fence (other site)

This strip from Irregular webcomic shows how to build a fence. — Or at least how to place the first post.

Microfig village (other site)

You don't have to build for minifigs. Barbara demonstrates this superbly with her village church and a small farm. I hope the village will grow soon. (The page also shows Jeremy's microfig pagoda)
