A few months ago I saw an image on Google of a large, blocky building with a letterbox-style inset around two sides on the first floor. I thought about it for a while and eventually this design formed the seed of the idea for this building, Big Orange Storage.
Boot Factory – Micropolis Block #185
I’ve been wanting to make some more industrial structures for my microscale city for some time, and decided that a small factory would be my next project. The Boot Factory will form a quarter block plot somewhere on the outskirts of the airport, along with some other industrial units.
Blue Distribution – Micropolis Block #159
While I was at the Pick A Brick wall buying parts for my last model, Six Bricks, I also noticed that they had thousands of these blue 1×2 grille slopes. So I picked up a couple of generous handfuls and threw them into my pot. When I got home, I put together this block, Blue Distribution, which is a firm which specialises in Logistics and moving goods around Micropolis. The warehouse sits in the Industrial zone close to the airport, for quick transport links out of town as well.
Wind Farm – Micropolis Block #146
As well as the recently-opened Solar Farm, the Green Energy Corporation in Micropolis has also heavily invested in wind turbine technology. This wind farm has just been constructed on the edge of town and can now generate enough power to supply at least a dozen residential blocks on a good day.
Solar Farm – Micropolis Block #144
The Green Energy Corporation have been trying to get more eco-friendly means of generating power in Micropolis. They already have the Green Energy Biomass Plant which takes waste and generates heat from it. But they have just opened this Solar Farm on the outskirts of the city, where the sun’s rays can be harvested for electricty in a clean and efficient manner.
Fromage Place – Micropolis Block #130
The residents of Micropolis love their cheese. And some tiny enterprising businessman decided to start a cheese-importing business. It grew and grew, so much so that he has just had to open this new Cheese warehouse, Fromage Place.
