Under The Wing Of A Giant - C4 'Titan' On Lerner Airfield
Pictures of a temporary desert layout I had set up in my new Lego room, combining a section of Lerner Airfield and its modern tower, a short section of Route 66 and the Mojave Inn Motel located at a desert crossroads near one of the airfield's entrances (Gate 3).
The layout is of temporary nature. While planning and already building on certain aspects of what's going to become my new core layout for any future desert layouts, I wanted to have a nice setup to look at and play with in the meantime, uniting for the first time my airfield segments and the Mojave Inn Motel, and providing some decent background for my aircraft as well.
All this had never been set up together beforehand, due to a lack of space.
Last but not least, I wanted to take some last pictures of my large cargo aircraft ('C4 Titan') before its dismantling process will start... It's simply too large for transport in one piece, too large for my current Lego room, plus I know I can do better meanwhile...
The layout table measures 3,5 x 1,275 m. The current layout is, apart from small strips on both sides of the table, entirely covered with either base plates, road modules or other self-built modules such as the motel segments. The entire space covered by Lego measures 13 x 5, 32x32-studs-sized base plates.
The street lighting and lighting of the buildings has been realized entirely with 24 12V light bricks and via two 12V train transformers from the 80s.
While this layout unites airfield elements, a Route 66 segment, a crossroads and the motel, the new and yet-to-build core layout will be more centered on railroad topics again, while becoming a quirky little desert hamlet with several new aspects and buildings at the same time. The core layout will be the one I would like to keep set up at home. Adjacent to the new core layout, an airfield section can be joined for opportunities offering more space such as exhibits, conventions, etc. in which I might take part again in the future.
The good thing is that the new, yet-to-built core layout will be able to be expanded in all directions for future needs, projects or potential cooperations with other builders.
Thanks a lot for looking and reading all this! :-)
