The time has come to once more return to Neo Fabuland.
The last time I tackled the idea of Neo Fabuland – or how to approach Fabuland as a design style for use in contemporary builds – was way back in 2019. You can see the builds I created here. I am still pretty happy with those builds, but I can now see some improvements that can be made and I reckon enough time has passed (around five years) so I can now revisit the idea with fresh eyes and enthusiasm, with the aim of taking it a little further this time.
My aim for 2025 is to spend the year once again exploring and extrapolating the idea of Neo Fabuland, but unlike 2019, this year I will create several interrelated builds rather than one large build for display.
I still plan to stick to most of my aims for Neo Fabuland from 2019, specifically the story book style, incorporating unique original elements from the original Fabuland sets and employing a handdrawn lettering style though I plan on ramping up the level of detail beyond what I achieved last time and I will be broadening the colour palette this time to incorporate some new colours.
In my next post I will set out my expanded colour scheme and my reasoning for it, so stay tuned.
