Do you want to build your very own Lego town? You can certainly build a LEGO town of your own. With the necessary equipment like a LEGO plate for the base, lots of LEGO pieces, all you need is some time to get into the act of building. The stronger the base, the better your LEGO town will be. More people can work on their area of the town using individual plates for a base. If you combine all the pieces it could become a much bigger town than you expected.
Use a large base or combine the smaller plates to get a strong base for your town. Green and gray plates are normally preferred. Do not go for anything fancy and stick to building rectangular or square blocks unless you want to make intricate buildings or structures out of the Danish bricks. Layer the house as a brick builder would use the LEGO pieces by overlapping them. The walls and the building will be stronger if built this way. The door and window opening should be taken into account as well. Doors should be high enough to accommodate the height of the LEGO figures. Around two to six houses should easily fit on the plates if you make them small enough.
Now come to the roof part of the house. Only start building the roof after the walls have been built to the desired heights. The fun part is that you need not stick to any particular shape for the roof. Use your imagination and add along a chimney if you like. A’V’ shaped roof is the simplest. After this start by building adjacent buildings like a medical store, grocery store, school, hospital, post office and many more. Use red bricks for a fire station and build a playground for the school too. Take care to leave enough spaces in between buildings so your minifigs can walk in the alley. Build parks and gardens with flowers if you like. A zoo with your favorite animals can also be built using the LEGO pieces.
