eurotrash Posted November 17, 2013 My Lego Town is continuing its downward economic spiral. But there are signs of life. Here's my latest MOC for the downtown area. It's a Tractor Supply Depot that's rented out the second floor to a Dance Studio. It's built on one and a half base plates. There's an archway leading through to the Depot area at the rear of the building and an external staircase that leads to the second floor. On the roof there's the water tower that the owners have hidden behind a rickety Billboard. Here's the inside of the Depot showing the landing bay, a whole bunch of packing crates, spares and a chain-saw. The second floor has Miss Fiona's Dance Studio. It has a diagonal wooden dance floor, a beat up Piano (played by a crusty Trawler man!) On this floor there's also a tiled waiting area and a fully fitted Bathroom (behind the Green Door) Business is okay and Miss Fiona is content with life. But she doesn't realize what happens when she closes up shop for the night. The crusty Trawler man takes over the Studio and turns it into a nightclub! The piano is moved to one side, a light show bought in and the DJ spins top tunes until dawn. Things are going well, but then suddenly the foam machine breaks down and bubbles erupt everywhere! I think Miss Fiona will have something to say tomorrow! Comments and criticisms welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomdobs55 Posted November 17, 2013 Excellent building! How did you make the diagonal floor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yohai71 Posted November 17, 2013 Great MOD, as usual it's all about the small details- note the "tip glass" on top of the piano. Nice work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timmyc1983 Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Haha that's a fantastic narration along with this build! Made me smile. And the building itself is great! The facade looks like it should and I like the details around the back too. The billboard is a great touch and the interiors are done very well too I'm still chuckling at that last picture with the broken foam machine Fantastic work and happy building Edit: I too am interested in the diagonal floor, fantastic feature btw!!

Yooha Posted November 18, 2013 The diagonal floor is a simple idea, but I've never seen such design. The zigzag end is hidden under the grey frame I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kivi Posted November 18, 2013 Great building with nice description and superb details, like the diagonal floor and foam. The piano man seems to expect plenty of tipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eurotrash Posted November 18, 2013 Excellent building! How did you make the diagonal floor? I too am interested in the diagonal floor, fantastic feature btw!! The diagonal floor is a simple idea, but I've never seen such design. The zigzag end is hidden under the grey frame I guess. Yes Yooha, It's a floating floor (not attached to the bricks below) of various 1x tiles over some random plates with a rectangular skirting board of 1x plates covered by 1x tiles around the perimeter. Here's a picture. If you get the geometry right it fits in perfectly, then just add the skirting boards and it's finished. I'd seen this technique in an older thread from a couple of years ago and always wanted to try it out (and I'm sorry I can't remember whose MOC it was in, but full credit to whoever they are). Then it occurred to me to make it a Dance floor and Miss Fiona's was born! Thanks for the kind words! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
