Zoom in

I created a downtown museum to house a few of my mounting collection of historical minifigs. Next door is a small Mom & Pop Grocer with upstairs apartments (I'll post details on this one at a later time).

About this creation

I am starting to use the larger gray base plates for our town. They are large enough to fit one corner building, one large and one small building, or three small buildings. It also has enough room for a modest two lane road.

When I initially built the Mom & Pop Downtown Grocer - I ran out of red bricks, so I did a couple of billboard ads. I do have a MOC McDonalds, but it still needs a bit of work.

Royal guards watch the entrance while two more wait inside - the museum has a special royal visitor.

Wal-Mart had a sale on some old Lego Nintendo DS cases. I managed to pick it up for about $7.00 US. I used it as a billboard either advertising a movie or a future historical pirate exhibit.

I also pick up a few Ramses Pyramid games for about $7.00 US each. It has a lot of great pieces plus the sandy base plate.

Quoting Klatu Barrada "Running out of bricks" subtitle for all my builds. Your billboard solution was fantastic.

Thanks for all the great comments - I truly want to run out of bricks, but it seems I acquire more and more.

I really like how the museum curves inwards for the entrance and windows on top.. It's a very nice effect. I am going to try this build myself. Many thanks for sharing!
