Little Coloured Bricks

Every child or collector wants to have his or her own Lego Town. Who doesn’t? Lego Towns are cute, fun to build and fun to look at. Lego Towns come in many forms and sizes and of course styles. One may opt to build a Pirate Lego Town where all inhabitants almost always say “Aaaar!” or a modern Lego Town where there are skyscrapers and modern architecture. Whatever your choice of Lego Town, be it Old World or Harry Potter World, the platform is the same.

The first thing that you should do is to pick the largest base plate you have. If that large Lego base plate is not enough, you can combine the small ones so you have a larger area for your Lego Town. It is recommended that you start with a green base plate or a grey one rather than combining a few small ones. The base should preferably be either a 15” x 15” plate or a 10” x 10” one.

Create simple rectangular houses by putting your Lego bricks on top of each other. Do this in such a way that it looks like you are building a brick house so your Lego houses will not look as plain. Apart from that, layering them this way will keep the house more secure and your walls will be sturdier. Make sure that you leave openings for your windows, and doors though. Be sure that your houses are tall enough to accommodate your minifigs.

Make a “V” for your roof but if you want a different design, you can make two “Vs” clamp together and add a chimney.

If you do not like your designs much, you can get prettier designs online where you get full blown instructions for a pretty, little house. There are many different styles to choose from depending on your theme.

In your Lego Town, make sure that there is a police station, a hospital, a few stores and shops, a hotel and of course a park. Create this are where children can play and where there are lots of trees and flowers. Do not forget the park benches and the Lego animals playing around the park.
