Details:
For those of you who don't remember the 50s, Town Plan was the first theme ever developed by the LEGO company. Bright colors and vintage window elements were the norm, as were some types of trees that would cost you a bit of money today. This series of models is very much in the vein of the original line, but makes use of some newer parts for good effect. I love the way fences are used in this shot. I tend to keep my "vintage" LEGO® parts aside as collectibles, but if you do mix those early bricks with newer elements, this is a great way to do it.
