This layout represents a part of a residential area, which mainly contains mediterranean homes, such as an Italian (Minitalia) house and the Spanish Villa I've built some years ago. This layout was made to present the Spanish Villa MOC, in order to have an updated scenery.
This layout is a mid-late 80's layout. There is a residential part and a park part with a lake. I've built a house with Minitalia parts which also have a garden and a garden shed. There is also a bungalow, which have been added a garage.The whole rear part of the layout is elevated, using green bricks to create a hill, and supports underneath the buildings. To make a nice solpe for a road to arrive to the houses, I've used a 8x24 grey baseplate in order to achieve this sloped street.

Your Residential area - Park layout looks fantastic! I recognize a lot of rare parts! The combination of the sloped hill and the small street is a very creative idea! Maybe you could add a few street lamps and make a night/dusk picture? You have made a very nice 80s style of the Spanish villa and the Minitalia house, cool!

Nice details as always Evans! I like the playground near the waterpool :) I am not a big fan of making brickland though, it do not fit classic layout too much.
I wonder about second house you've built with green roof. That green roof seems to be pretty unique, are those that expensive bricks you have been talking about on forum? I do not recollect any set that have such roof, unless it is from newer set :) The windows are also something new. The only windows that has such squares that I remember are the pirate ones installed in ships, but those are new. From where do you got them? In summary, that building looks great :) Nice work Evans! Do you plan to make some series of sceneries? So you can put some history in it and continuity - that would be nice! | |

Hello Evans,
This is a really nice part of an italian-like landscape. With lake and hills. Very good! The hill is useful to give the houses and every other things a better visibility. The green slopes, fences and the windows are Minitalia parts, I own some of the windows, too. Minitalia was also produced by LEGO for a short time and it is no big problem to buy them on Bricklink. Maybe its a bit more expensive. It is important to say, that the green window shutters are not the similar ones as for normal window 1x4x3. This house seems to be older than the other ones, because of the detailed windows. Unfortunately, the Minitalia windows have no glasses. A further Minitalia part is the red arch brick 2x10x2, which you put over the entrance. This party was never produced for normal LEGO. The garden of this house is very good. You can see, what is growing up in there. Easy and nice! Added with some tools it becomes a coherent picture. The House No. 8 on the hill has also nice details by adding some typical italian arches. Especially the arch with the window is a simple, but beautiful detail. The pine trees give the complete scenery also a typical italian impression. Really beautiful! | |

Thank to all of you for your kind comments!
Ben, I did build the streetlamps, but I completely forgot to place them, I was too occupied with... flowers... I will think about making a night scene for the next layout I will build. I have some ideas... I will present my Minitalia house too in a month or so. I've already a house to present, but website did not work. I will try again next week-end. Rogdush, as Legobecker said, these are Minitalia parts. In fact 4x3 green 33° slopes are more easy to find in good quantities in Europe as Minitalia parts. Indeed, windows are Minitalia, by the way, those parts that were released from 1970 to 1973 were predecessors of 1978 windows and doors. If you look closely on the back of 1978 red house or fire station, you will notice that the window with shutter tabs we know was not used, it was a mockup of Minitalia windows that were used on these boxes, along with Minitalia shutters that are completely 3 bricks tall, when usual shutters are 2 2/3 bricks high. I've two series of layouts that are planned, a serie of 4 layouts from 1978-1981 era, for which the train station and the hospital are part of it, and another with seaside scene from 1987 to 1990, to present a holiday house I've built, and sets 1472 and 6388. Legobecker, Indeed, that hill was built to better show the houses, and it remids a bit the Italian landscapewhich is often composed of hills. I wanted to use the 2x10x2 arch as I got some of them from a bulk. At first, I used 1x8x2 arches, but I wanted to stay to that style. I've also planned other Minitalia houses (4 so far), but I have to buy loads of slopes, doors and windows to achieve an 80's Minitalia layout. That garden was very funny to build and to figure out what I would put in it. The garden shed was a nice way to use these 6x8x1 green slopes. I did put all my cypresses here, but if I had more, I would have replaced some of the small trees, as these trees are typical of Italian landscapes. When I see some 12V train ads, there is one on which there is a giant forest of cyresses, with something than more than 150 of them... That's a sweet dream... |
