Marine Garage

We've went through the gear available to the marines to take into training and into battle.  Now we explore HOW those items will be taken into battle.

 

The Marine Garage and various carts used by the Marines

 

Enter the Marine Garage.  Housing plenty of horse-drawn and hand carts to transport supplies like weapons, tools, consumable supplies, and even marines to wherever they need to go.  To the base or watch tower, to the training grounds or waterside fortification, to a parade or battleground, these vehicles will get the job done.

Sure, the marines are quite capable of carrying their gear around, but horses are faster and stronger than humans.  Yeah, diesel engines and airplanes are way much faster, but my military isn't all that modern.  Lego doesn't roll like that, and neither do I.

Where are the horses?  They're on deck.





Lego Haul - 12/4/17

I finally broke down and spend some of my Lego store credit on various bricks to continue construction on several of my buildings.  I ended up using $20 to get these pieces, and I'll tell you how they are going to be used now.

 

The Lego haul from 12/4/17

• The blue 2x6 and 2x8 plates will build up the last layers of my hospital's walls.
• The green 1x4 and 1x6 plates will fill in the gaps in the plates surrounding my Trevi Fountaion, which will be the centerpiece of my Plaza.
• Most of the white plates and both of the 2x4 pink bricks are for display fixtures in the Bakery
• All of the brick yellow plates are for the roof to the Pony Farm office
• The two 1x4, two 2x10, and the 1x1x1 corner bricks are finishing the Police Station walls
• The 6x8 dark grey stone plates build up the walkway for the top level of the Watch Tower.  So are the 8 1x1x1 black corner plates, as they will be used to secure the staircases between levels.
• The 1x3 and 1x6 bricks are for the display shower in the Plumber Shop.
• The brown 2x4 brick is for the Cargo Terminal.

I think that covers everything.  I should upload a second picture of this image with labels on everything.  Then change my bulleted list to a numbered one.  I think I will...  When I get a chance to do so.
