MadManMingo Posted February 10, 2012 B-OV-27A Call them mini-modulars, stackables or whatever.... I like them. And they make a nice and fast little town, which my little son loves. But when Toyz R Us made their little shop I thought. Hey lets urbanize The first little project in that line I made for real, is a small mens clothe shop. It came out of a little LDD-jamming with interacting curves. You could call it a little study for something bigger. Maybe a modular... who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted February 10, 2012 Fantastic small design 'MadManMingo', tile the floor and add a register if possible and you'll have an AWESOME little Lego City addition. The exterior design is beautiful, very art deco ! Brick On 'MMM' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frogstudio Posted February 10, 2012 Really lovely MOC. I also like this scale of buildings... they have such a Classic feel!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackJonespaw Posted February 10, 2012 Very nice! I would take the clear heads off the displays, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindicare Posted February 11, 2012 What a great storefront! Very abstract looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted February 11, 2012 I agree with others, the architectural style is great with all the curves. The building looks nice, and I think it would look even better with other sets. Standing alone gives me a too dark effect because of all the black. I like the simple and effective interiors as well. Nicely done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadManMingo Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks y'all! It actually had a register, when I made it in ldd. But I forgot to order that brick in PAB. Maybe I'll copy the one from pet-shop, which is fresh in mind. I'll add some pics tonight with a neighbourhood, when I get home tonight. It also has a sign and logo now.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 11, 2012 This mini-shop is awesome! Despite its simplicity there is everything ...beautiful curves shape and great inner details! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadManMingo Posted February 11, 2012 Here's a little more fotage, to see the shop in its local environment. I took your word Redhead1982 about the darkness and installed some lights above the glass-shelfs. Unfortunately the shopowner forgot to switch the light on I'ts a good thing, that four out of ten citizens in lego city are policemen, with that car-theft going on outside the shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoWestern Posted February 15, 2012 really nice could you try makeing it bigger? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadManMingo Posted February 17, 2012 Is there a friendly Moderator who would ad "MOC" in the beginning of the topic-title? I forgot By the way... I'm working on a little coffee-place in the same scale. More soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted February 17, 2012 The lights and the 'Toj' sign adds life to this creation. And too bad the lights are turned off. Seeing the clothes shop in the context of some other buildings, it looks wonderfull. As I said before, the colour combination of black and white with round edges and curves works amazing. Looking forward seeing your caffe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artifex Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Sadly, I think I'm not smart enough to see the pics of your MOC... :sad: EDIT: Forget it -- I just gained a sudden burst of intelligence and I can now see the pics! Brilliant MOC! It fits perfectly with the other buildings. Nice city you got there! :thumbup: Edited February 18, 2012 by Artifex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadManMingo Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks Artifex and Redhead1982 (@Redhead Love your latest corner modular by the way). I appreciate your comments. As someone said, it's a classic city kind of build. I like to transfer ideas and principles from the modular world to small city builds. My son also loves these little buildings. So what's a dad to doo The Coffee model is up next, with colours that leads your thoughts to a certain world wide known chain .... wink wink... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
