gotoAndLego Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) I figured that having a Dutch mother I should probably try to make a Dutch-style house. This is primarily made from 2x 31065 and 1x 31050. I decided to incorporate brighter friends colors along with the parts from those sets. I already had a bunch of the tan quarter circles on either side of the skylight. Beyond that I started working on the recessed window idea which was inspired by something Barrie Crossan made; although mine is constructed differently. The right side will be left open so you can see the interior; considering this will sit next to other modulars its not that big of a deal. The white bit on the left has the stairs to access the second floor. Edited May 13, 2017 by gotoAndLego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gotoAndLego Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) I made some changes to the roof greenhouse. Humorously enough, this is what started me building this house. Edited April 28, 2017 by gotoAndLego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg3 Posted April 30, 2017 I really like the shape and design of this one - especially the rooftop greenhouse... I'm not so sure about the colours though but that's just me!! Anyway, nice work - thanks for sharing!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotoAndLego Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Chimney design -- The chimney aligns with the stove top on the second floor and the space heater on the third floor. An issue I ran into with the trash can is that the top of it has a weak connection. I tried several things to make it secure and discovered that the tan gear in the bottom photo is perfect. Of course I had to move those medium blue curved pieces because the black chimney "supports" were in the way and since I didn't feel like digging in my storage space for dark blue slopes I added dark red slopes to the roof.

carebear Posted May 6, 2017 Love the roof and kitchen ( nice pics ) Greetings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotoAndLego Posted May 6, 2017 Thanks a lot. Here is the mostly finished exterior. As my working bricks are all in storage, most of my choices are based on which pieces I have around me; occasionally I will go into storage and grab some pieces I want to use. Not ideal, but I find it makes me more creative in my parts usage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trekkie99 Posted May 8, 2017 I love all the colors! Most people do two or three majority colors, but you've accomplished this very well. Thumbs up. Though IMO, it really needs to be a bicycle shop being Dutch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carebear Posted May 12, 2017 It looks Great!!! I really like the way all those colours work together - No Coffee, No Life!!! Greetings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotoAndLego Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) The Crooks' Island set is surprisingly useful for making a workshop/garage. Even that jet ski launcher technic thing makes a bike lift. Edited May 13, 2017 by gotoAndLego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
