Hello, it is a door rail as you say with a 2x8 plate underneath. Under the plate sits 4 x 44728 brackets (or two of the 4 wide brackets) in this case in black. The overhang lies at the rear of the windows, it's difficult to see on the photos which is probably a good thing :)

Thanks, I really like that window piece which really helps sell the period, hopefully it becomes available in more colours soon! Thank you, maybe someday I will design using instructions. But not yet... :) Thank you! Thanks very much. thanks @lifeinplastic I must of forgotten to post it on here. Yeah I really like the sharp wild angles from that period, hopefully I get time to do something from that era again soon! Yeah, bit of a type there, the truck/lorry was essentially the whole reason for the MOC! I'm trying to branch out from the city centre so more rural mocs it is! Thanks Thorsten! Thanks @LEGO Train 12 Volts I've used the same piece in white on another van and have just seen it'll be available in dark red later on this year so i'll definitely have another vehicle on the way using that piece!

Hello to all at EB. I present a small vignette as an excuse to build another old time vehicle. A rural farm scene completes the MOC. As usual you can find all my mocs on my flickr page here Until next time! Regards

Thanks ER0L. I agree, more Art-Deco needed, it'll not be my last moc in this style. I had contemplated putting a MOC on ideas but wasn't sure of whether my style would stand out from other town based MOC's. I had read somewhere you needed to provide instructions for your model which I can't do as everything is freebuilt. Be a bit of a dealbreaker if that was the case as reverse engineering sounds like a nightmare to me. I do wonder however whether this model in particular would be more successful as a lego ideas submission with minidolls rather than minifigures, probably suits the friends theme more! Cheers

Thank you! Maybe i'll get to see it for myself someday! Glad you like the colours, I spent ages trying to get the right amount of colour! Thanks guys! One of my favorite themes from childhood!

Hi EB followers. I've finished my most recent build. Predictably its another Art-Deco/Streamlined hotel building but I figured its been a few years since the last so I've had time to refine my ideas! It's called the Deluxe hotel and it's taken a couple of months to finalise due the constant changing of ideas in my mind in how I wanted it to look. It's not directly based of any paricular hotel but incorporates elements of many ones found in South Florida. Only a couple of images to show, the interior is quite shallow so I didn't bother with an interior this time. Anyway, comments and questions as always welcomed! You can find the images on my flickr here if you prefer. Regards! Andrew

Glad you like it!

Thanks @CroissantBricks! It only has a partial interior mainly just the checkered flooring. The higher floors windows don't look great from the back so I didn't bother with them. Thank you @LEGO Train 12 Volts Glad you like the architecture, its quite formal, tried to add some colour interest where I could!

Cafe CoCo. A European inspired corner building with a Cafe and apartments above. I thought I'd try and build something smaller and I'd be done quicker - how wrong I was! Gave me an excuse to have another go at a window technique I'd not used for a few years along with a different themed roof. As usual they can also be found on my Flickr page here Regards!

Thanks @Feuer Zug. I could possibly of been more ambitious with shaping if I'd ordered more bricks but just went with what I had. Cheers @Aanchir! I tried to incorporate the Octan logo tile from the corner garage into the side but couldn't fill the gap so the logo came about as a second choice, glad you like it! Thanks guys! I had the original Octan sets from the early 90's when I was a child so the colour scheme evokes great memories!

Hello fellow EB members. A small vignette showing a mid century streamline truck in an Octan livery. The driver stops for a well deserved break! You can view all my creations on my flickr account here if you so wish. Regards!

Thanks @CroissantBricks and @NewTown! A similar technique was used for the grand emporium many years ago I think so i'm not unique for that one. Glad you like the other features! @jval@Man with a hat@_TLG_@The Undo Thanks guys!

Thanks @Lyichir The windows are not particularly stable but its a nice effect, glad you like them! Thanks @LEGO Train 12 Volts. I spend alot of time studying architectural styles for MOC's. I am pleased you found the details. Cheers!

Hello EB members. A short post of my most recent MOC, its a street alongside a canal of European influence. There are a couple of shops within the two buildings with a small grocers along the canal selling plants and various fresh items. Just the one pic this time round; As usual you can find the rest of my MOCs here Thanks again!
