Custom Builds Adapted from Lego® Sets

In addition to the full sets that we've used, we have also adapted some of the Lego®  sets to fit within our city.

For example, the Town Plan set included a gas station, which we already have.  We wanted the cinema, so we ordered the parts and the stickers to make it.  Bricklink is a fantastic source for building supplies!

This is the full Town Plan set:

Lego® Town Plan 10184

and here's the cinema that we made:




The town hall from the Town Plan set would make a wonderful library for our city.  Expect to see that next year.


We also wanted a hospital, but there wasn't a hospital set available.  I used a previous set for inspiration and created our own hospital/ambulance bay.

This is the set that we used for inspiration:

Lego® City Hospital (7892)

and here is the hospital that we customized:






Notice the minifigure x-ray - that's a custom label that we made using an image from here.

The nurse is from the Collectible Minifigures, Series 1.

We would like to add at least another floor to the hospital as it needs to be more prominent in the city.  Every hospital needs a cafeteria, and we'll probably add another floor of beds.


Finally, the Lego®  City Garage was too large to fit in our city, so we adapted it to fit.

This is the set that we used for inspiration:

Lego® City Garage (7642)

and here is the garage that we customized:



I've ordered the stickers from Bricklink, so the garage will be looking even better soon!
