HO scale cars

Image
Since I haven't posted in a while, I thought I should finally show my HO scale Lego cars I finally managed to collect a little while ago!  The Mercedes 220S is by far one of my favorites! Its condition is very good and it rolls Well and still has shiny wheels  The Ford taunus 17M I acquired is almost perfect condition, still all shiny and clean looking. It's definitely my 2nd or 3rd favorite!  The VW beetles, short version and long version, are both iconic and well known vehicles. These ones I got are almost perfect, and they still have all the bumpers! Now this Mercedes 190SL isn't the best condition, having broken rear wheels and no windshield. Though I'm pretty happy to have one at all! And this, the Opel rekord 1958, is by far my favorite of all the vehicles I purchased. It's amazing 50s styling is perfect for the town plan, as well as it's perfect condition! 

The Dealership

Image
 This building is based off of the set #307-2 VW showroom. I used a different window, and I do not have the dealer sign so I’m going to order a sign that says Automatiek. (Which means automobile) I think that would be good enough for a dealership. I think this building ended up pretty good, considering I didn’t have most of the right parts for it.

Blue roofed house

Image
This house has a blue roof, and very few buildings use blue bricks. It is one of the very few buildings to use the transparent garage piece. Using that makes this house complete. It didn’t take long because as I previously mentioned I found pictures of town plan set #842-2, and this building is from that set. Overall this building is very sturdy and it looks pretty good. 

1969 service station

Image
 This service station came with the 1969 town plan set #842-2. This building in the set doesn’t have any plates on the bottom, but without them it falls apart so I added some for support. I think it looks good, and it didn’t take very long to build because I found instructions for it online. 

The church

Image
 This build is based off of the church set, but it uses different windows. I built it pretty fast, and it’s pretty complicated compared to most of the buildings. I do not have any of the tall windows it uses in white, and I do not have the ANNO 1762 brick. I built it when I had minimal parts so it has some yellowing on it. But I think it ended up good.

The fire station

Image
 I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a fire station, but the 725 town plan came with a fire truck and this building is somewhat similar to the fire station set so I’ll just be calling it the fire station. It doesn’t use rare parts, (most I’ve recently been building dont) and it was very simple and quick to build. It could be something like a car wash or a garage but I already have things too similar to that and I don’t have a fire station.

Mini house

Image
 I’m not sure what this is supposed to be, but it’s from 725 town plan so I decided I’d build it. I just called it mini house. It was very simple and can be built fast without using many rare parts. I think it looks pretty good.
