A Tx Fuels tanker trailer, pulled by a super long nose semi truck. The semi has a 7-studs-long bonnet, as opposed to the 6-studs-long bonnet of the other black truck with a day cab. It is 7-wide and, like all of my trucks, seats two mini figures. The trailer is pretty basic and has just a few technical greebles on it. It was important to me to give it a commercial side writing, too, which always adds an extra touch of realism.

I have lots of old and only very few newer minifigs. Neverless, I wanted to come up with some "sexy" minifig stewardesses for the crew picture...

“From Kryptonite to dynamite, whether you are looking for extraterrestrials, jetpacks, space suits, space crystals, alien grimaces, handguns, heavy machine guns or Star Wars figures, radioactive materials or loads of conspiracy theories… Come and enjoy your visit @Gunz N Alienz!”


This is another dream come true, dating back to as far as 2016, where Gabor, ER0L and I had first met up to present a more rudimentary Route 66 layout together, and where I first had the idea to build a spacy-looking motel and alien/UFO-themed store.
The building process started with making the billboard, which I considered a make-or-break, key element to this MOC. Converging clichés was the goal here by uniting a typical UFO and alien paraphernalia store (as one may find along the Extraterrestrial Highway and places like Roswell, New Mexico) with a gun store, a freaky store owner and even freakier clients 😉. 12V lighting with the good old 12 light bricks from the 80s was used to illuminate the shop windows and entrance area, making the building look especially interesting in darker conditions.
Oval-shaped windows such as incorporated in the Mojave Inn Motel unite the two models style-wise and give both of them an allure of “Outer Space”, with allusions to extraterrestrials and their often displayed, oval eye shapes. Weird posters, “alien heads” and figures along with some rubbish out front are placed strategically to underline the weirdness of the place.

Photos of the store’s interior will follow later on, as I will set up a shorter version of the layout at home again soon.

Thanks for looking and reading all this, guys! 😊

This is the illuminated mansion, being integrated into one of my town layouts, right next to a city house which also was lighted, but with the 9V equipment.
