MOC: 1490 Lego bank renovated (in LDD)

[paanjang16]

The number of banks produced by Lego are few and far between. You can even count them using 1 of your hands! One of those banks is 1490 Lego bank produced in 1990. Even then it is quite lackluster with the only redeeming feature is not the bank itself, but the armored car that came along. My parents bought this set for me a long time ago and while it is has good playability, it lacks what modern banks would have like ATMs etc. It is also a set that has a door placed at an angle which I think not many sets do nowadays.

How will it fit in today's modular building scene? I booted up Lego Digital Designer (LDD) and here is the result.

Ground floor is where all the ATM and cash deposit machines are located.

1st floor is where all the bank officers work. They seem to have huge wide screen LCDs and glass tables.

2nd floor is where the boss work. Outside his office are file cabinets.

Comments and feedback appreciated!

This is quite a nice transition, I can see why you kept it in red to match the original, but one thing I might recommend is some dark gray, gray, or white as architectural detail such as statues ect. to break it up. Other then that a very nice build indeed!

Not bad LDD job there 'paanjang16' - though I do agree with 'Fires-storm' on adding grey or something else in to the mix instead of just red and white !

Good work anyway and I'm a conformist! !
