Industrial look! My favorite pics/topic!

 I dont know why but one of my favorite things to look at and make is scaffolding, trusses, towers, catwalks that have metal bars and clips to construct (industrial look).  I think it started when we went to a car factory where you could look down from a catwalk or mammoth cave crossing metal bridges and looking down.  There following pics from google show my favorite pics...I try to give credit to the people as its not my mocs.  First, me on a catwalks made from halo brand bricks

Me on catwalks above


Cool bridge above Id like to create


Above:Love the stairs and railings present.  Not true lego but still like lego/compatable (chemical plant from general jims)

Above: Stephen Niehoff made great scaffolding for a rocket launch pad


Above walkway looks so neat for with rails leaning outward.  I dont know creator of this


I like the steps above with smooth, bent stair rail





Industrial steps above

Cool use of cross beams/scaffolding look above. 


Above is a beautifully done curved staircase with "robot arm" black rails. 






Cool industrial look above



Above neat scaffolding 

Above simple rail makes bridge look complex


More scaffolding above


Above: I like the elongated fencing on the bottom edge present in Lego video game.  Good industrial look that I wish Lego would produce i.e. elongated fence.
The author Above. (Peter reid?) With awesome steel scaffolding.


Above good radial trusses tech



Above: Non lego ramps above..I like the silver twin ramp look and again a simple rail adds complexity 



Nice rail on Maersk train

I got a fair + (???) deal on Facebook

 I found a listing on ebay


I ordered it and paid 100 with shipping and taxes.  Here's what actually came.

Non lego except jack stone Keychain above



Above about 38 good legit minifigs with 6 fake legos (guys in blue suits that I thought in small pics were pilots) to make 44 people total. The lot came with several accessories and extra minifig heads

Overall im happy with this..I think it was a naive person thinking everything was true lego but unintentionally sent some non brand Lego


Did I get a good deal???  I really am not sure???  What do reader's think?

Day 12 of cleaning

 Today I just took pics of where I am so far.  Ive got small "really useful" boxes that I need to combine with other parts.  Most of those are unique pieces from those heroica sets




Day 11 of cleaning

 My neighbor kindly came this date to help me sort/make my legos more accessible.  She helped me move objects on high shelves to waist/shoulder height.

Before:

I found most of the boxes were packed well without damage..I was so happy! Esp. My airplane wings

Pics of boxes below (I just left for when I get my new shelves built!

Day 10 of cleaning my lego room

 Here's day 10 of cleaning my lego room...just found out today that a neighbor will come help me organize and make my lego room more accessible to me from sitting on my rollator seat

Above: need to get upper blue bins down and as below, more metal shelves way over my head.  

Below: I'm unsure why there is dirt on the 2 gray and back storage containers 


Piciture above=Plan to switch bins above on the shelf down to a height where I can reach them


I need another wire rack to store 7 additional boxes of lego

8 boxes need opened and shelved (two pics above)

Getting to my lego room being non ambulatory

Grab bars from basement for after parking wc then using a walker to the grab bar




















Above grab bar to get to stair lift

Day 9 of cleaning

 This date was enjoyable since I started organizing legos into sterilite 

I took lego drawer cabinet bins and put them into drawers






Day 7-8 of cleaning

 I took a broom and pan down and swept the legos on the floor

Before




After



I'll keep plugging away
I did get some akro mills bins untangled/close together and plan to start using those bins more vs drawer cabinets.  Also I need to lift some huge plastic sterilte as its compressed making bottom drawers hard to open and close due to warping....like the green bottom drawers on the right


Day 6 cleaning

 Day 6 of cleaning 

I got discouraged this date as I cant lift very well due to immobility.  I moved drawer cabinets that dropped bricks everywhere...basically sat overwhelmed but did empty 2 more drawer cabinets...

Here's the discouraging part





Sometimes it feels like this is what I wanted but right now its bulk lego bc I cannot move to sort it.
