Cities Before L'ex.'s Dark Ages

Lego building sets were probably the only toy (well at least 90%) that I collected between the ages of 5 and 15. However, from ages 15-29 I entered that phase known as the Dark Ages. The following pages contain links to the cities I created before those times.

Please click on the image if you would like to see scanned photos of the city.

Image Age / Year Description
Spring 1978
Age 8
Rumbar
The Modern Mini-Fig population of this, my first large scale city, was 1 police figure. The rest of the city was populated with the non poseable figures. Before road plates, the city is built around a two-lane roadway (which must have been hard on their vehicle suspension systems).
Fall 1978
Age 9
Rumbar II
Spring 1979
Age 9
Tower
Although the tower is not free-standing, it leans against the wall, getting such a narrow tower so tall (about 5 feet) without tipping to the side was a challenge (kind of like a Jenga or pick up sticks game).
Fall 1979
Age 10
City
Before the Lego group built their monorail system, I built mine. Ok actually there are two rails making it more like the "El".
Spring 1981
Age 11
City
My first major city built from road plates.
Summer 1981
Age 11
Starships and Space Command
Summer 1984
Age 14
City
Military forces, harbors, elevated rail roads, and a large civilian sector for the basis of this city.
