The beach end of the port

I have added a large section which includes a beach, carpark and snack bar.

Laying out the tan, so much tan

 A small retaining wall that separates the different sections of the beach

 Some of the sand is creeping down over the wall onto the beach.

 more retaining walls to keep the sand dune in place.

 The car park with the foliage on the sandy dune

 The DBG of the car park being laid down.

 More DBG

 And yet more DBG  to show off the finished product. The sand is creeping onto the car park. I kept it at the same level because it looked bad when I raised it up a plate.

 A small path has been built along the back edge.

 The tile wall of the snack bar

 The red roof is a big contrast to the reddish brown tile walls, but I like it

 The snack bar car park

 The customers enjoy the various snacks on offer

My road surface techniques

For the roads that lead through the port I am using a mix of grey tile and plates.

I start with  the 6x6 tiles laid out

 Then I start filling in between the big tiles with smaller tiles and plates

 And the finished section

Rail and road gates and fencing

I have built up 2 sections which will act as gates for trucks,trains and people entering the secure port area.
I start with my standard 2x2 323x32 stud baseplate sections

 Building up the internals and adding the 16x16 plates

Gates for the entrance via the railway

 Entrance for trucks and pedestrians

 Gates in place and a small security office

 The curved section of track that heads into the train line for the docks

 Adding in more plate

 And complete

 The train track is sloped down so it can meet up with my standard height of my train points.

 I have left out a section of 16x64 studs that the points will meet up into.

 This is the fence that I have decided to use , about 13 studs wide for each section.

Warehouse build

I have built up a warehouse that will be used to store small goods that can then be loaded onto trucks for transport out to the other parts of the city.
I may rebuild parts of it, even change the colour, and I am not 100% sold on the roof design, but as long as it has it's place marked out in the port, then I can continue on with the rest of the build.
Light BLEY is a bit drab, so I added a few stripes into the walls to blend it up a bit.

 Girders break up the sides of the building.

 Working out the roof sections

 I am using six sections for the roof, with 45 degree slopes. I may change this to 33 degrees, still not sure.

 Building each roof section, 1 at a time so they are removeable.

 Rook in place.

 View fro the front with the roof on, and sliding doors in place.

I have added some plant, lights, crates and other storage on this side. This is next to where the Coast Guard ships will dock.

 The dimly lit back alley of the warehouse with a  security gate to keep out the riff raff.

Boat ramp and beach area Part 1

The final section of this front half of the build is a 6 baseplate wide section which will contain a storage area next to the Police/Fire station, large fence, a boat ramp with area for a restaurant  and then a beach area and wharf for small pleasure craft to dock against.
Building up the base, I used blue baseplates at the front as these will be tiled and plated over to form the water surface. Still undecided on how that will look.

 The security fence being built. This will protect the port from the riff raff who may try and come and steal goods form the site.

 Fence completed and rock work and boat ramp done as well. I may change the boat ramp to be a different colour, or change it's design, but it is there now for planning purposes.

 The next section joined up and more rockwork done.

 A long view looking down the build table, 10 baseplates deep.

 The new wharf in place for the pleasure craft to dock.

Water police and fire boat station

I have created a building that is one half water Police , and one half Fire boat station.This will be the command centre for the operations of these boats.
I didn't take any photo's of the early parts of the build, but here it is as I am planning out the roof.
The first floor and roof are removable so that you can look inside and see the offices.

 Here is a view of the back of the building, with parking spaces and the gas transfer station beside it.

 More pic's to follow.

A wharf for the police and fire boats at the sea port

I have added a new wharf for the police and fire boats to dock at. This is a timber dock that sits to the right of the gas transfer station and which will have a police and fire station at the end of it.

The wharf has been made long enough to handle a police and fire boat on either side. I have sets for this, which I will slightly modify to my own tastes.

 I have decided to make this wharf in a dark tan using the printed tiles from the 70907 Killer Croc Tail-Gator set form the Lego Batman Movie , mixed in with other tan tiles.

 Edges done!

 Halfway there, and some bins and boxes added to not make it so plain.

 All finished!  This sits on a 1x2  323x32 baseplate size section.
