lightningtiger Posted June 3, 2016 Well, it's been a long time for the tiger to post a new MOC and this time it's something I always do but with a completely fresh angle - the USA not Australia. ACE Hardware is a major hardware chain in the USA and I thought it would be a good starting point for my new sub-theme of creations "Small Town USA". I transfer some parts of other MOC's into this one like the paint tinting machine and key cutting machine. A new sticker systems I have worked out to gain more high resolution stickers. Yes, I have this on Ideas - https://ideas.lego.com/projects/143047 Any suggestions and comments please feel free to post them. Brick On everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonjira Posted June 3, 2016 Huh, I like this. It captures the good ol' American hardware store in a mini mall feel. One suggestion would be to add a little detailing to the higher up walls. Maybe put in some bricks to add a bit of organic texture so it "pops" a bit more and isn't just a bare wall. But overall, I enjoy this piece. Keep up the good work!

iammac Posted June 3, 2016 This looks exactly like the kind in my region. Key cutting machine is a must have for this one. Great work. Recognizable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 3, 2016 Thank you to the two of you for commenting, I haven't actually finished the detailing on the walls yet. I have that issue fixed within a week plus some extra props to in inside. Keep watching & Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAKAbricks Posted June 4, 2016 When there is a "hardware" in the title, LT is back Nice to see you are back. I guess it is the right way for you to start a new "subtheme". And I look forward to see how you define "Small Town USA" - I still remember "Small Town Denmark" As always great details - and I must say it is a massive shelving system they have got in ACE.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted June 4, 2016 Welcome back Tiger and awesome Moc! You've well captured the internal details of this shop! Good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks 'LT12V' always good to hear from you. I have been a little down about this one as it hasn't set Ideas on fire so to speak......only 58 supports in five days. My next US build will be a post office - keep watching & Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nemo57 Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Very good work. Absolutely real life store design. In order to save bricks can be left only the ground floor and the sign on the facade to make a separate form. Edited June 5, 2016 by Nemo57 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
