Dfenz Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Completed just in time for the Brick Live exhibition in Birmingham was my latest MOC based on Dublin's Davenport Hotel. That particular building was chosen because Scooby Doo needed to check out something more than just the haunting ghouls on the roof and scary lanterns awaiting those who entered, namely the 'illegal' gambling on the first floor between the centre columns. This particular feature is a fully functioning Mindstorms powered 'push-button' operated 'slot machine' that releases gold 2x2 coins out the front right door once the three barrels line up with the same colour. Reloading is through the roof. At the weekend the colour sensors worked very well once the rechargeable battery wasn't depleted. The photos below show an overview of the model, its rear (pre-swimming pool), roof swimming pool and close-up of the spinning barrels. Enjoy.

peedeejay Posted November 12, 2016 Great build with a stunning facade. Very true to the original. I have to admit however, that it kinda hurts a bit to see 1x2 sand green bricks with groove being placed most people won't see them. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Withacee Posted November 12, 2016 Terrific design! I especially like the ground floor façade, and the slopes towards the entrance are very well done. The second picture portrays an absolutely perfect scene. And that pool is brilliant Keep clicking those bricks together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
