Very nice scenery. It's very crowded, but it fits well the sceery. What I like at most are all the railways that are at different levels. This is a nice organisation. As much as it makes me think about a famous 12V poster with a lot of tracks. The coal power plant is a good idea, but the tower of the chimney seems rather small, but it's very well made, you caught well the shape.
I like the way the passeger station is placed too, in the seaside, it's well made, but you could have placed benches on the deck parts. The drawbridge is a nice idea too. I think a bigger structure could be interesting. Your red freight car with end of train cabin looks interesting too. I really like the passenger boat too, it's very well made. You should present it as a MOC. Your warehouses looks a bit too square, why not making the roof with 33° slopes, or with inclined plates as I sometime do? Globally, the mix of early 80's and 90's sets looks odd at the first glance, but it's interesting. If I have something that annoys me, this is the very thin water part in front of the bridge to let the boats move. There is too few spaces, and it looks dangerous to share the space between windsurfers and cargo ships. This is a scenery rich of details, of men walking on roofs and of motorbike stunts... :) | |

Thanks @Evans :)
Yeah, it is pretty crowded. The reason for such diversity and density is the need to mix all four corners of other sceneries. 80s and 90s are mixed pretty much here, as never before. I usually made a scenery of 80s or 90s, but this time we have full blend of Paradisa, 80s trains and some sets from 90s. Hah, you are very perceptive. I have thought about that space between beach and port. It is definitely too close, but I lack a space and I had to fit it all togther somehow. I had a big problem how to fit railtracks already to make passenger and freight lines. I had been thinking couple of hours... This scenery was pretty exhausting. I am happy that I have finally managed to do something to finally connect all other parts together. Hah, the chimney can be a bit too small, although I thought it will be okay. I thought about warehoues after your post on forum.. but it was too late already. I had made photos and I decided to stick with it. Real warehoues have flat roofs in general, but your warehoues with sloped roof looks great though :) I should remember about it next time and try it too. Thanks for your remarks, I appreciate it! Good eye with the details, although I have made very little of them this time. I just wanted to finish it, because I was making it for a long time already. | |

Such a lovely city you have there! I'll leave it to all the sour ones to post negative feedback about it .
I have looked for some while to see yet another town with 'older' sets , just as I build myself , they aren't really easy to come by . Seems most AFOLs nowadays prefer to stuff their cities with modern sets and modulars. Nothing inherently wrong about that , but I definately consider the less realistic, more boxy look of the Legoland style from 70s/80s/90s has something unique and charming to it(...and being born in late 70s I'm also kinda biased...!) Overall a colorful and crowded city that truly resembles the official LEGO sales brochures of the era and MOCs that stay true to the Legoland style . Love the background 'curtains' and 'carpets' that further emphasize this style ! | |

Thanks and hello befrukteren!
Clabrisic is all about classic style from 80s and 90s. You will not find anything else here. My intention was to create such sceneries which we all admired as a kid from LEGO catalog presentations. I am glad you think my sceneries are like that :) I have the same feeling about newer sceneries. I think LEGO is just trying to follow the trends, but they lost "realistic" feel long time ago. I do not really get any negative feedback here. I think people who don't like it, they do not even bother to post any comment. Well, not everyone has to like it. I am happy to reach to all fans of classic bricks and share even more classic style designs here at Clabrisic. If you have some projects of your own please register and post them on forum! We talk about lots of classic ideas and creations there. You definitely must try it :) | |

Having just discovered your site, I'm enjoying waves of nostalgia wash over me as I view the 1980s components of your display. As an adult, I'm looking to buy a number of '80s Lego train items, and your exceptional work here has given me many, many ideas. Just wonderful!
Thanks so much for all the hard work you've put into your Lego display, AND the hard work of presenting it here for us online. Navigating each section is terrific, and the overview maps help enormously. :) | |

Hey there Noobles!
Thank you. I am happy you like it and thanks for your words of appreciation. Those vibes are known to me and that drove me far further to create this site and all sceneries. This is something i wanted to do long time ago and it woke in me eventually. I want to keep it on this site forever as tribute to all LEGO designers and creators of those masterpieces from 80s and 90s. Happy watching! |
