chroute Posted August 2, 2011 This is my latest moc: a modular police station. Here a few pictures of the front, with a garage on the right. At the back there is a wooden fence with a garden behind it: The interior of the ground floor contains a front desk, a waiting area and a vending machine and coffeemachine under the stairs.There is also a large painting on the otherwise dull grey wall as you can see in the following pictures. The first floor is the office of the police officers with four desks and a cupboard containing all the files. The office of the chief is on the second floor. There is also a small cell. Here are some other pictures showing the police station in combination with the town house. I hope you all like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted August 2, 2011 Excellent modular station 'chroute', I really like the decor of the ground floor and that vending machine is the bomb ! Is there a roof for the gargage of the police station ? Anyway, great work 'chroute' and Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chroute Posted August 2, 2011 Is there a roof for the gargage of the police station ? yeah, I don't if you can see it properly on the photo but there are glass panels which make the roof for the garage. It saved me plates and kept the garage reasonbly light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted August 2, 2011 yeah, I don't if you can see it properly on the photo but there are glass panels which make the roof for the garage. It saved me plates and kept the garage reasonbly light. Yes on closer inspection I can see two 1x6x5 trans-clear panels.....nice one ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecclesiastes Posted August 2, 2011 Nice police-station. Like the fence, you dont see that very often! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Spark That Bled Posted August 2, 2011 That's really nice, especially the interior. As lightningtiger said, the vending machine is excellent. I also like the different types of window arrangements on the backside. There's a lot of variety but still balance from floor to floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
22kane Posted August 2, 2011 I really like how you made the different vending machines and the large bookcase. Overall it's a great design and you did an outstanding job on it. The outside of the building really captures that classic city building style from the early 1900's. Great work!! Looking forward to seeing more of your MOCs.

Vindicare Posted August 2, 2011 Very Market Street-esque. I like all the details you put in this. The big file cabinet, and the big brown fence(you don't see many like it). That cells a bit cramped. Don't you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Guy Bri Posted August 2, 2011 Excellent modular precinct 'chroute'. Love all the details you installed in a small space. Very well done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonicstarlight Posted August 2, 2011 This is a really nice modular! The exterior was clearly inspired by the Fire Brigade, and I bet they would make a good pair together. The inside has some really clever details - the vending machine is especially well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bzcat Posted August 3, 2011 The first floor has really tall ceiling. The entire building looks so much bigger and menacing than the house next door Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
streifen Posted August 3, 2011 Nice police station! Compact and complete! i like your facade! that must have taken up some (read: many) bricks! the case files are sure plenty for this police station! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enrgie Posted August 3, 2011 I love this piece! I agree that it blends well with the Fire Station. Awesome work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jargo Posted August 3, 2011 Love it. I also like the garage rear looking like a quick mod would open it up so it could lead straight into a separate 32x32 vehicle yard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chroute Posted August 3, 2011 Thank you for all your nice comments! That cells a bit cramped. Don't you think? I totally agree with you on that one. But I had to work with very little space so I think this was the best solution. that must have taken up some (read: many) bricks! it did take up a lot of bricks. I bought the fire brigade and the lego emporium for a second time to build new modulars. It probably isn't the cheapest way... anyway this is the first modular I built from those two sets combined.

L@go Posted August 3, 2011 I really like this. I think the garage would probably make a nice break in a line of modulars - after all, there's normally a couple of 'holes' in a whole block of buildings - and you've managed to fit quite a lot of interior details into the relatively small space available in the building. As others have said, the vending machine and file shelf are very nice touches. And the blue and light bluish gray colours for the facade work very well. All in all, a great job!

Velika314 Posted August 3, 2011 I love this MOC! It seems only fair that there be a police station as well as a fire station in the Modular Building series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snaillad Posted August 3, 2011 Looks great, you have fit alot of detail inside! Would fit right into any city layout! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincent Kessels Posted August 6, 2011 That is a really great police station 'chroute'. The front looks really good with the dark blue, and has a 'London' feel to me. My only comment would be the gap at the end of the letters. The interior looks also very good. The reception area looks great. The vending machine is a nice detail. And the painting is nicely dramatic. Overall it is very well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Locutis Posted August 6, 2011 That is a great MOC! I especially like the "POLICE" snot writing. I also have plans to build a modular police station, using the same dark blue tiles that you chose. However, my plans are for an inside-corner building (which Lego has not done [yet!]). Your MOC fits right in to the street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewatchman Posted August 7, 2011 is there any chance of the build method and a parts list being put up for this? i am seriously considering adding this to my town, with your approval of course, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Posted August 7, 2011 This is really impressive, and would make a great addition to any modular layout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted August 8, 2011 I am really getting into these modular style buildings. And this one does not disappoint. I really like the shape of the building with the interior being nicely detailed. My only gripe, there isn't more! Keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chroute Posted August 21, 2011 Thanks again for the nice comments! is there any chance of the build method and a parts list being put up for this? I'm sorry, I haven't got either of those at the moment. Maybe something for the future in which case I'll post it in this topic. I can't promise anything though.
