Quick update can't believe I forgot this, the reason the jail door and ladder on top of the roof access: And removed the seaweed pieces from under the tree as it doesn't look right, definitely in Historic/Pirate and star wars jungles but not in a Town tree.

Mestari Posted January 17, 2017 Looks nice, especially the interior. The photos are superb. I don't know how you did that... I am not too fond of the cheese slopes on the facade though, I would change that. But apparently it's only me ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReplicaOfLife Posted January 17, 2017 Nice idea, I remember and have quite a lot of those printed pieces. Propably should do something with them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svendp Posted January 18, 2017 A very good idea to put all these old printed tiles to use :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks different in person and not nearly as pronounced. On January 17, 2017 at 11:11 AM, RogerSmith said: Nice idea, I remember and have quite a lot of those printed pieces.

Won't mind at all if you do something similar, we should preserve these old pieces and find creative uses for them.

peedeejay Posted January 20, 2017 Nice idea. I really like the interior. It is full of nice details to look at. The exterior looks a bit too crowded for my taste. I think it's because you are using quite a lot of colors and also a lot of cheese slopes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koalayummies Posted January 20, 2017 Thanks peedeejay, the new interior is much an improvement from the original. Sorry some don't like the exterior but as an moc it brings some welcomed (personal opinion) contrast between the official Lego sets which make many collections too similar (present company excluded, your mocs are great). I've got another modular in the works in LDD that is more conservative and traditional in exterior build. This one was free-built with almost no planning other than the first floor would be a gallery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliza Posted January 23, 2017 I like the roof access and garden on the top. It's a real mix of styles, colors, and textures. It has character and I like that. Feels very lived in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did some small changes like adding lighting (superficial not light functions) above all the gallery walls. Corrected the mismatched door frames with window colors which really looked bad, mismatched doors and general refinements throughout as well as some additional printed pieces found while sorting through my old childhood Lego collection. First post updated to reflect all the changes and cleaned up some of the old images in other posts. Thanks again for all the kind words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewTown Posted March 4, 2017 This is great! I don't know how I missed it when you first posted. I especially like the interior and I plan to mimic some of the roof top on a future build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
