Introduction
This small scenery shows a part of the Bebricton city north of the wild forest, which is connected to it by the road and the sea coast. To the east you can find the open sea where two drilling rigs extract oil. The main attraction in this part are the mud races. I was inspired by a set of 6510-1: Mud Runner, in which we have a small vehicle designed just for mud racing. The second vehicle which fits here perfectly is sand racer from 6528-1: Sand Storm Racer. I've created three additional vehicles on the pattern of mud racer, which gives a total of five players.At the coast, however, you can find a few houses. The first house is a white-and-red villa, which a couple visits on vacation. Further buildings are much smaller. The first yellow building behind the villa belongs to a fisherman who apparently likes to drink. The second building is inhabited by a kayaker who likes to practice his skills at the coast before he moves to other location to flow with the river. The last building is occupied be a diver. Small pier is located at the end of the coast, where sailors like to hang out. The rest of the coast is accessible from the road and couple of vacationers with a camper decided to park under a palm tree. Before the Shell station a acciddent happened at the turn, where the two cars collided. Apparently the lack of rear lights in hot rod was not so unimportant after all.
Inside the mud race lap a small square is located for Monster Truck show.

Hi Rogdush,
You made a fantastic work on this scenery. Before all, I want to say that your monster-trucks looks much better now, I don't feel that there is something wrong or missing anymore. These are perfect now! :) You had a fantastic idea, I wasn't waiting for something like this when you posted the preview in the Monster-Trucks page. The disposition of the sets is perfect! I really like the combinaison of the two stables sets. The service-station looks superbely with these palm trees behind, it's a very unusual location for those mid 80's sets, we're more used to see palm trees in 90's sets background, so it's a nice "mix". The monster-truck yard is very nice, espicially with this relief. I think it's something to expand in the future for small hills or islands. But what will you do with? Aren't the hills too space-eating? :) I have to asy that this accident is very serious! The addition of the LEGO-6561-1 Club would have been the cherry on the cake! But it would have been a little out of place as all the buildings are 80's ones. I don't know if this is intentional but on the norts-west coast, there is a sort of "shadows game", the shadows forms a shady place that looks very lazy and comfortable. I really like the small holiday houses on the waterfront, these reminds me of old fishing sheds converted in holiday homes. Maybe a blue one would have contrasted instead of red, an already present color in the area. The white and red house is interesting, it has a nice shape. I just think that the white roof is too much white, a nice color would have been green. I would have stand out of the house. I think that, as you already have your "sigfig" and your blue vehicle, that are present in a lot of sceneries, you should do the same thing as in the 6000 Idea book, you should, as Bill and Mary, make the visit of the scenery by your minifig that meet the inhabitant, disguise themselves, make activities, it would add a story, it would be the conductor/driving wire of every of your sceneries. Just a little remark, you should avoid the 2x2 Fabulanf Flowers, these looks too big compared to minifigs, keep them for crops in farm yards. And | |

There is a small problem, my whole massage haven't been posted (I've luckily copied it in case of problem!).
So here is the sequel of my message: Just a little remark, you should avoid the 2x2 Fabuland Flowers, these looks too big compared to minifigs, keep them for crops in farm yards. And I've noticed this 4x4 dish in Dk.Red as a parasol and a 2008 Indiana Jones hat, those are too recent parts for such a scenery, don't you think? :) In conclusion, it's a very good scenery, as always, you have put a lot of efforts, you're improving you every time! And I'm waiting for the next scenery! :) | |

Thanks Evans, I am glad you liked it :)
The idea poped into my head when I reviewed mud racer. Lego liked to try lots of different ideas of racing, like mud, sand, dragsters, hot rods etc. Majority were bolids, but those rare ones are nice too. Your tip for Monsters was great, they surely look better now :) I shall present more images in couple of days along with some crash drive through the cars! I had to do those hills, there would be no proper mud race without them :) Well, they will be space consuming, as they do not fold in any way.. nevertheless, I shall manage :) Well, I have lots of ideas and lots of sets to review, but this takes lots of time. This accident was actually a reference to lack of rear lights in hot rod :) Well, my blue car and character pop up in very different places from very beginning if you take a good look at different galleries :) No one really noticed it before or at least didn't say anything. I'll think about stories though :) You observed this scenery closely :) I simply didn't had any other dish and while it looks the same, I had no problem with using it. The same goes to indiana hat, it is just like the grey one available in sets from 80s :) Fabuland flowers yes.. I was holding myself with using them, but I just tried it with palms, as the "big leaves". They will not be present in further sceneries probably, unless I find some good place for them. I would go with at least blue roof for villa, but I simply didn't had any other bricks :) Maybe in time I will get more slopes in different colors. Well, lots of ideas... 10 more squares in Bebricton.. and so little time.. | |

Hi Rogdush,
Maybe you will find others use of those hills, maybe this winter, with snow? :) I had notices your vehicle since a while, and I thought you could devellop the idea. For pieces, I think that if it stays with era's colors, it's not shoking, but Dk.Red stand out when it's the only piece in this color. For me, I like to use old pieces in new colors, maybe have you noticed the Yellow fire helmet in the new Mixels? Or the green 2x4 mudguard in 2012? So I try using those pieces that are from old colors that could perfectly have been sold in 1978. I use mostley old colors: White, Black, Yellow, Red, Blue, Green, Lt.Gray, Dk.Gray and Brown. Exeptionnaly, I could use Tan (althought, not any project with), orange or even Teal (1998) for a future bus project. So I try to keep away all the others colors. I admit that sometimes, I put Lt.Bley (hairs or kids legs), Reddish Brown (hairs) or Dk.Bley, because of the availlability, but I try to limit it as much as possible. For Fabuland flowers, you can always use them as sunflowers or growing crops, but it looks a bit too big for simple flowers. When you run out of certain bricks, why don't you try to take them from others sets just for picture, and after, you put them again with the set. It's better than having "unfinished" creations. I think that ten squares will be too small for Bebrickton, you should consider to expand Bebrickton's territory as the things and ideas goes! :) |
