Adventurers - Johnny Thunder's Office

Recommended Posts

Inspired by the building in set 6484, (Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase) this building features two floors and a "cast iron" facade.

Fictional Background:

Built as an office building in 1898, Johnny Thunder bought it in 1918 after returning from serving in World War I. He then turned it into his personal office. The top floor was renovated into a storage / trophy room, while the bottom floor holds actual office with a table, desk + chairs, hat rack and three filing cabinets full of important contact information, treasure leads, and reports of strange occurrences, along with the occasional Vegemite Sand-which.

Currently, the objects inside the trophy room include a Sword made in India out of ivory, a ancient Roman Shield from Italy, a golden Ring of Power from a land far away, a silver glove of an Aztec suit of armor, the Spear of Destiny from Jerusalem, a Trident from Atlantis, and a scythe from the Land of the Dead.

The rear of the building is hinged to the front (like in set 31026, Bike Shop & Cafe) and locks together with a Technic pin. The roof top deocrations were inspired by fellow EB user, Kristel, with the instructions provided on her blog: http://modularsbykristel.com/

The real life Treasure Raider, which happens to be included in the updated LDD file, plus it's own digital file.

Nice to see that someone has not forgotton good old Johnny Thunder.

I am just worrying that this looks a bit too modern, doesn't it?

Where would he put a crocodile on the wall (or whatever else he brought back from his adventures)?

It's supposed to look like an old stone building, but I guess since the source building was modern-ish, it could be thought of that way. Please look at the picture of the inside for the treasures.

I would add tons of items he picked during his adventures!

All the treasure I could think of is in the second picture. This includes:

-The One Ring (from Lord of the Rings)

-A trident from Atlantis (it's a old Lego theme from 2009)

-Spear of Destiny (Christian religious item, also seen in a Indiana Jones comic.)

-Aztec silver glove (also from a Indiana Jones comic book)

-A Ivory sword from Orient Expedition

-Roman Shield (nothing special here)

-Death's Scythe (from a non-official Johnny Thunder comic I read on Brickshelf from 2007, long story)

The rest of his stuff is in the crates.

The inside of the building has been heavily modified, and the first topic changed to reflect this.

As for the changes between the last time I uploaded this and now: LDD file re-uploaded because of changes to it. I have added an actual staircase to the top floor instead of the previous ladder.

Here is the inside. Johnny's desk was changed, plus his car has been added to the LDD file.
