eurotrash Posted July 26, 2014 Chu Nail Salon I had been building a single level Oriental Restaurant and was close to finishing when Toorayay posted his Octopus Restaurant http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=97675. Mine wasn't to that high level so I quickly had to come up with an alternative. So, I made some minor changes to the facade, added an additional level, changed the SNOT Lettering, ditched the interior in its entirety and came up with... Chu Nails! Here's details of the SNOT lettering. I wanted something that looked signage on a cheap hotel. There's a combination of right way up and upside down vertical and horizontal connections clipped onto the cattle grid background. Details of the front entrance. I was looking for an abstract Nail display and one of the earlier iterations had nail brushes moving via technic gears and axles and although it functioned it looked too Heath Robinson to remain. The interior. This shows the foot-bath, nail table, overhead lighting and a couple of mirrored tables (stolen from a Friends set) And a view from the other angle showing the waiting room - complete with L shaped sectional sofa, fish tank and potted plant and restroom. And a final shot of Chu Nail's during Chinese New Year Thanks for reading. Comments, criticism and ridicule most welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Off the wall Posted July 26, 2014 As we've discussed before, I prefer a more vertical, rectangular building with no texture or interior detail. Please rework to meet my standards. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bennemans Posted July 26, 2014 AHA! So THIS is where the excess parts from your (formerly) Palace Cinema went! The exterior is splendid again! The colors work very well together. I'm stealing your idea for that sign! And the windows are gorgeous! Where are those from? A ninjago set I assume? Pink couch = lurv! I am wondering why there is just one yellow flag and one light bley brick in the facade? Or is that just you, being a rebel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgarison Posted July 26, 2014 Nice Work! I like the dragon as well. Great MOC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CityBuilder Posted July 26, 2014 Impressive nail salon, but the name sounds a little funny. Think about it, Chu Nail Salon. Chew Nail Salon. What is it some people do? Chew their nails. Was that intended or just a funny coincidence? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please rework to meet my standards. ;-) I'll try harder next time... ...And the windows are gorgeous! Where are those from? Or is that just you, being a rebel? Thanks, the windows came from a Ninjago Temple of Light set. And yes, I'm a rebel.... a rebel without a clue! Impressive nail salon, but the name sounds a little funny. Think about it, Chu Nail Salon. Chew Nail Salon. What is it some people do? Chew their nails. Was that intended or just a funny coincidence? All part of my plan to entertain. The original plan for an Oriental Restaurant was going to be called TOHO with a Godzilla theme going on. The Chu Nail Salon name just really amused me - probably way more than it should.

Yooha Posted July 27, 2014 Ha-ha, that dragon! And don't worry, it has such a high standard as the Octopus Restaurant. ..And yes, I'm a rebel.... a rebel without a clue! It's a Petty pity that just a few will get this joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timmyc1983 Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Another awesome modular, there hasn't been one of your MOCs that i didn't like, you have such great detail for interior and exterior, another job well done here!! Although I fear that this building will be too up-market for your town....? Or is the worm turning?? Happy building either way!! P.S. that dragon is awesome Edited July 28, 2014 by timmyc1983 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
