31206 - style City Buildings - LDD MOCs

[Murdoch17]

These next Twenty-plus models are all built in the style of CREATOR set 31206, (Bike Shop & Cafe) with each having either removable floors or open on a hinge and snap closed with a Technic Pin.

Pizzeria

Inspired by the B model from set 31026, (Bike Shop & Cafe) this building was originally going to be hotel but turned into a pizza parlor with an outside staircase and delivery van.

This model features seven seats spread out over two floors. It also features a pizza oven and counter with cash register. There is also as ladder to the roof with access hatch.

This van is a modified version of what is in set 79104 (The Shellraiser Street Street Chase). It features two rear doors and two side doors, plus the roof sign with pizza.

Modern bank

This is an update to my previous version of this bank. It features Light Bluish Gray instead of Dark Blue to keep costs down. I have also added a armored vehicle.

The rear contains stairs to the upper level, and a expanded Vault on the second story. Also, the skylight has been moved to the rear roof and it does not open anymore.

The front contains nearly the same components as the original set. The first floor has a non-break-away ATM , desk, waiting area, and sorting tray for packages, while the second story contains the entrance to the bank vault.

This modified Armored Truck goes with the Modern Bank.

Benny's Spaceship Shop!

(In his spare time Benny operates a store selling custom LEGO space kits. He also lives in the shop on the second floor.)

This was originally was the Pizza shop in set 7641, City Corner. (re-released as set 60031 last year) I added a back based on the Bicycle shop from set 31026, and put in a hinge system with a Technic pin to lock it closed. I then colored it blue instead of the original red and made it into Benny's shop with all it classical space goodness.

Benny's shop features a micro spaceship in the display window, rear delivery door, and cash register. On the second floor is the apartment Benny lives in. It features a bed, side-table, computer, micro space layout, and ladders to the first and third floors. The third floors attic is empty but it usually features boxes of miscellaneous stuff.

Here is Benny's car. It is supposed to feature the Classic Space Logo on the trunk (via this part: http://www.bricklink...26326&colorID=7 ) Benny's car was made back in 1984 by Universal Motors Corporation. Since 1997, the second gear shift has been jammed, thus rendering the car flightless.

Captain's Daughter Tavern

This was originally part of set 10193, Medieval Market Village. It has been redesigned to have a interior staircase and still have plenty of room for serving drinks and simple food. There is supposed to be a sign out front with this print: http://www.bricklink...asp?P=2335pb075

The inside of the model features a Frog on the bar (for no real reason), a inside staircase, and a bunch of seating on the second floor. Their is a crude gumball machine on the second floor at the top of the stairs.

This is the delivery van for the Captain's Daughter Tavern, getting beer and other assorted alcohol from the brewery.

Tudor-style House

This house was built from set 10193 (Medieval Market Village). It was originally the blacksmith's which works fine in a Castle setting, but this building is supposed to be from the late 1920's! So I removed the blacksmiths and added a proper lower floor with a connecting staircase to the upper floor.

This building's lower floor has a couch and table with lamp on top. On the second floor is my bed and a pot belly stove which warms the house up very nicely.

I have a soft spot for this car, as it is the last remaining model I have built from my early Lego career / 2002. I've modified it a lot, but it basically went from medium blue to black, opening doors to no doors, and opening trunk to no trunk and back to opening trunk, all in the space of 12 years of evolving part design.

(The original model was the Ford Anglia from the 2002 Harry Potter "Escape from Privet Drive" set.)

Octan Gas Station

I built this OCTAN Gas Station from a Starter Model in LDD back in 2011, and have wanted to build it ever since. It features a sign and Tanker truck inspired by 10184 (Town Plan). By the way: The sign features two of this part (print not in LDD): http://www.bricklink...m.asp?P=2431px9

Instead of being in the 1950's, I set this station to have been built in the early '60's to mid '70's.

The roof for the station is removable, and the bay fits most 16 stud long cars. (but just barley) Any official LEGO City car should fit fine.

This truck was based off of the 2008 Town Plan set's tanker. It features a more American-style hood and grille, plus four tank lids instead of the original three.

Bob's Adventure Supplies

Built in 1898, this stone building was a small mining supply store, selling shovels and pickaxes to the miners from the local quarry and construction workers. In 1969, after 70+ years of business, the store was sold to a re-development firm for demolition. Thankfully, the building was saved through the actions of a local historic preservation group, who then bought the building to be used a a historical documents library. That library was moved to the Town Hall in 1998, and the building was sold to Bob with one condition: to never tear it down or disturb its historic status.

Bob then turned the building back to it's roots with the opening of his Adventure Supplies shop which is still there to this day.

NOTES: This is a modified version of Olivander's Wand Shop from 2011 set 10217 Diagon Alley with a back and staircase added, plus the expensive sand green and dark blue have been replaced. Also, this building is ONLY open-able up to 90 degrees. The whole 180 is impossible due to the way the original Olivanders Wand Shop was designed... sorry!

The inside features tons of bits of gear, weapons, & devices for adventuring in any place (or time). This includes swords and a large mace to spacesuits and laser pistols.

Bob's 1978 Nexus.

Backwash Saloon

I turned Colby City Showdown (set 79109) into a proper building for my town. It features removable floors to access the interior along with plenty of details. Also, this saloon is named after / supposed to include the Lego Movie mini-figures Sudds Backwash & Root Beer Belle.

(NOTE: I have this building in real life now, plus the new "neon" sign. The old sign that was centered above the corner doesn't work in real life. I don't know why LDD allowed it in the first place, as it's an illegal build. The LDD file has been updated to reflect these changes.)

This floor features: bar, four tables, several drinks containers, and a printed cash register. This part ( http://www.bricklink...asp?P=3039pb026 ) is supposed to be the register, but it is not in Lego Digital Designer.

The second floor features three more tables for those really busy days, plus the piano.

1950's Fire Station

Here we see my MOD of the Brick City Depot (Winter Village) Fire station. I redid the color scheme in some places & added a different Fire Engine. (which happens to be a MOD of set 9484, Red's Water Rescue) I redid the vehicle door connections and put pillars in the corners of the building. I also completely remodeled the roof, adding a water tower instead of the original bell tower.

I want to add an old-school air raid siren, like the ones from the Cold War. The problem is I have no idea how to make one. If anyone has any ideas on that, please comment!

The inside features a pole to slide on, a equipment locker, and just enough space for the 1950's fire truck.

I built this from set 9484, Red's Water Rescue. I replaced the eyes with trans-black tiles and cheese slopes, while adding a grille where the mouth was. I also beef up the rear, and removed the flick-fire missiles.

1950's V8 Gas Station

This model was originally built in 2012. It was inspired by the 2011 CARS set 8487, (Flo's V8 Cafe) but made larger and without the launcher and car wash. Yesterday I re-discovered the model and enlarged the bays from six to eight wide, added a rear to the building for the gas station attendant, and redid the curved roof covering the 8 gas pumps.

The inside features a clock, four-flavor soda fountain, and the attendant's desk. Their is also a storage area under the soda fountain.

LDD file: http://www.mocpages....1414426653m.lxf

I will probably get this Gas Station instead of the OCTAN... as soon as I build the other buildings!

Old Stone Bank

I took set the Bank from the 2011 Harry Potter LEGO set Diagon Alley (number 10217) and gave it a make over into a more City-like set. First I straightened the columns out, and added a more protected Bank teller area. The vault was shortened width-wise by 1 stud, making it 3 studs thick. (plus the door, of course)

The sign out front feature the two stickers from the 2014 Getaway Glider LEGO Movie set (number 70800). One says "BA" while the other says "NK". (Here is the complete sticker sheet: http://www.bricklink...sp?P=70800stk01 )

Here you can see the redone teller area, smaller bank vault.

LDD file for the bank: http://www.mocpages....1414606259m.lxf

This old-fashioned Bank also features a vehicle: a modern armored truck. It was taken from set 76105, Doc Ock's truck Heist and modified to follow Eurotrash48903's example of the same type.

There are some cosmetic changes from the LDD file to real life, but it's functionally the same.

Ironwood Hotel

This Hotel was born out of boredom. I was not doing much when I stumbled upon set 7633 (2009's Construction Site, link: http://www.bricklink...em.asp?S=7633-1 ) and was hit with the idea of making that CITY building front into a Creator-style full building with an opening back. I struggled with the design until i saw some Friends - themed instructions by a blogger named Kristel. (link to her awesome blog: http://modularsbykristel.com/ ) Her "Joanna’s Place" instructions inspired the roof design and the middle floors' windows. Then I combined all that with the HOTEL sign from the 2007 Cafe Corner modular building. (link: http://www.bricklink...m.asp?S=10182-1 ) I threw together the interior, (If you can call three beds and a front desk "interior"!) at the last minute.

As I said before, I am no interior designer. The beds were copied from Medieval Market Village (set 10193, link: http://www.bricklink...m.asp?S=10193-1 ) and the desk was a table scrap.

LDD file for the Hotel: http://www.mocpages....1415988835m.lxf

Barber Shop

This Barber Shop was partially inspired by set 7641, (City Corner, link to BrickLlink: http://www.bricklink...em.asp?S=7641-1 ) and it's bike shop and partially by the works of Kristel, whose Instructions from her blog led me to this roof design.

Anyway, the building has a sign out front that is supposed to say "BARBER SHOP", in printed letters. Underneath that is a barber pole and two haircut styles on display in the front window.

The first floor features two display heads with vintage hair styles, some chairs for waiting customers, and a cash register. On the second floor is two swivel chairs that also can recline (these chairs were copied from the ones in the Detective's Office modular building) and some bottles of hair care products.

LDD file: http://www.mocpages....1420591242m.lxf

Town Hall (Version 2)

This building was inspired by 2008 set 10184, Town Plan. I added a rear to the building in a style like set 31026, Bike Shop & Cafe. The building also takes cues from Scotnick and his modular take on the Town plan set.

The upper floor features the mayors office with filing cabinets while the lower floor features the secretary’s desk.

Haunted House

This build was based on LEGO set 4756 (called Shrieking Shack ) from the 2004 Harry Potter / Prisoner of Azkaban movie line. My revamped version of the set features a hinge system to allow access to the interior while preserving the sense that it is a complete building. The house also has a interior and a secret exit through the fireplace.

The house features a secret exit through the fireplace and boarded up windows. There are 10 of those 1x6 tan tiles in this build, and all of them are missing a specific rare wooden board print. (see it here: http://www.bricklink...m.asp?P=6636px1 ) The lower floor features a phonograph and two chairs, plus the secret fireplace escape route. The second floor features a rotten bed frame.

Johnny Thunder's office

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

The bottom floor features Johnny's office with telephone, hat rack, bottle of root beer, and desk made from crates, while the top floor features the Trophy Room with these items: a Sword made in India out of ivory, a ancient Roman Shield from Italy, a golden Ring of Power from a dark 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 Treasure Chaser is based off of set 7622, Race for the Stolen Treasure. (2008's Indiana Jones theme) This is a better version of the Treasure Raider that I made a couple months back. This vehicle features a spare tire, head & tail lights, plus a good old adventurer favorite: the classic two seat piece from way back in 1998 and last in 2013.

Sinister Mansion - Revisited

This classic 90's LEGO-styled model was originally built in 2007 by a Brickshelf user named "Widdi". That user uploaded the instructions (seen here:http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=249223 ) which I stumbled upon and built / modified in Lego Digital Designer. I added another story for the tower, put furniture inside and worked a garage into the structure. More recently, I have redone the tower and removed some of the windows.

The inside features the furniture from my Haunted House (10228) MOD, including (but not limited to): a Queen size bed, stove, table, phonograph, sidetable with lamp plus the couch. The first floor I has the living / dining rooms, as the couch, stove and table and other associated items are there. The second floor features the master bedroom with a small balcony on the right side. The third floor is the attic, which is empty. The tower / roof (fourth floor) is also empty.

This is Sam sinister's personal ride: It is included in the LDD file.

Johnny Thunder's office (version 2)

This building was inspired by set Modular Building set numbers 10246: Detective Office, and 10190: Market Street. The first floor's look was totally taken from 10246, while the roof details are from 10190. Also,the year 1897 should be above the front door in printed black 1 x 1 tiles.

The levels lift off like a modular but it lacks modular building pins, a base-plate and is not the proper size, being 18 studs square after all.

Johnny's car is included in the Building's LDD file: http://www.mocpages....1427128673m.lxf

Benny's Classic Town-style Apartment

This is Benny the 1980-something Space Guy's apartment. It features a garage with dual opening doors on the lower floor for his Lego Classic Space - styled Car. Benny himself (minus his suit's printing, of course!) is there as well. The style of the set is based off half of set 6390, a Classic Town set from 1980. (This set was re-released in 2003 under the short-lived Lego LEGENDS line as set 10041.)

Also, unlike most of my buildings, Benny's apartment does not open like a dollhouse, but features removable levels to accesses the inside, much like a modular building.

I was inspired to build this model after seeing the dark red half-track / truck in set 60071, Hovercraft Arrest. The model features a row of space-ship styled seats opening doors, and "double" tail lights. (I used a trans-red grille to create a nice effect.) the white tiles is supposed to be Benny's license plate.

Here is the LDD file for the car and building: http://www.mocpages....1433945715m.lxf

NEW Post Office

This is my LEGO town's post office. It was inspired by the B model of Creator set 31026, (Bike Shop & Cafe) and features a detailed interior, delivery truck, outside staircase and a hinge to allow you to open the building. This same hinge system "locks" the building closed by way of a Technic pin.

The lower floor features a service desk, mailbox and two seats for waiting customers. The upper floor features a desk for sorting outgoing mail and a cabinet full of dead letters, a list of addresses for my town, and other assorted stuff.

This truck is a MOD of the truck from set 10222, Winter Village Post Office. It seats two people and has storage room (with opening doors) in the back for packages.

LDD file for post office and truck: http://www.mocpages....1429490041m.lxf

OLD Post Office

This was my first town building I built way back in 2011. It houses my Post office and features a large bay window.

The inside of the model features a work area on the second floor piled high with letters and packages to be sorted. The lower floor features a couple of chairs for waiting customers to sit in, and a counter to add packages being handed over into the computer tracking system.

This truck is also in the LDD file.

Model Train Club

This model houses Iron LUG, the local LEGO Users Group for Ironwood - area residents. It is situated in an old pharmacy that has been renovated into a display area.

Inside the model is the Iron LUG LEGO layout, with a train, tracks, and "water". Their is even a control switch to speed up the train. (in reality the train does not move, being set into the 1 stud wide track)

(No LDD file available for this one, sorry!)

Grays Movie Theater

The theater is modeled after the one in 2008 set 10184, Town Plan. The original upload of this model was in gray-scale way back in September 2014, and this is a colorized update of that model.

I was going to name this movie theater Bleys, after the derogatory nickname of the post-2003 switch to Bluish Grey.... but I didn't want to stir up old feelings of resentment and stubbornness, so I named it "Greys" instead.

I chose white panels for the windows and theater door because I have seen first hand how bad stickers on clear windows are, (my brother had this set) and wanted something more realistic. If I were to build this, I would use stickers (Shock & horror!) from both the Town Plan theater & Palace Cinema modular building, (as they are of compatible styling) and stick them on the front and sides. The letters G-R-A-Y-S would be printed on 1x1 tiles on the main sign (both sides!)... but the main "now showing" signage, however, would remain blank unless I Can fit the these words on it: STAR WARS - A NEW HOPE to replicate the 1977 showing of this iconic film. My town is set in modern times, so this could create some issues...

Here is the inside, complete with Foosball table, waiting seats and refreshment stand.

Currently however, there are seven seats in the theater plus the two for the people waiting outside, and one for the ticket taker. There are two soda flavors available, one of which is Sgt. Pepper, a Beatles and a Dr. Pepper reference in one drink!

Victorian Townhouse

This building was originally the Brick City Depot 'Winter Village - Victorian House" model. (Link to it here: https://www.brickcit...victorian_house ) I removed the snow, and sloped-plate roof, and added a back half with stairs to the model. There is even a fireplace for keeping you warm on cold winter nights.

The rear of the model features the chimney flue. As usual, this building hinges open and shuts on a Technic pin.

The inside of the model features most of my standard details, such as a stove (which is supposed to look like it's hooked into the chimney), couch, vintage phonograph, table with lamp, curio cabinet, and twin-size bed. I have even included a analog clock on the wall above the fireplace to complete the early 1900's look.

Johnny Thunder's Office - revisited original version

Since the last time I uploaded Johnny Thunder's office, I did a Bricklink inventory of the parts list and found that the first model is way cheaper than the following versions I made. It may be not as fancy, but it get the job done and looks okay too.

Also, I credit Eurobricks / Flickr user "Kristal" for the roof top decorations technique. (Here is a link to her blog: http://modularsbykristel.com/ )

The inside features a new look: a stove borrowed from the Haunted House (set 10228) and a staircase with railings instead of a ladder. The cabinets have been moved upstairs, and the desk has been redesigned as well.

This model's LDD file also comes with Johnny's car, seen here in real life.

Grocery Store with apartment

This build was inspired by sets 41108, (Heartlake Food Market) 10684 (Supermarket Suitcase), with other sets thrown in as needed.

This sign ( http://www.bricklink...asp?P=6179pb086 ) goes above the front door.

This poster ( http://www.bricklink...sp?P=87079pb197 )goes next to the picture window.

The store-owner uses this torso. ( http://www.bricklink...?P=973pb1935c01 )

The inside (lower floor) isn't my best work, but it gets the idea across that this is a grocery store. The store features tow shelves, a freezer, gumball machine and, in the restroom, a toilet and sink.

The upper floor is the super market owner's apartment and is very basic with couch, table with two chairs, bed and TV (with test pattern made from a Star Wars control pad).

LDD file for the Grocery Store: http://www.mocpages....1432840783m.lxf

As for the models I need to get versus one's I already own, the list is something like this:

I already have: Benny's car, Bob's car, Fire Truck, Tudor-style house, black & white Ford Anglia, Captain's Daughter Tavern, Old Stone Bank, Bob's Adventure Supplies, Backwash Saloon, Johnny Thunders car, Sam Sinister's car, OLD Post office, & Model train club.

I need to build: Town Hall (Version 2), Barber Shop, Johnny Thunder's office (Revisited Version 1), NEW Post office, & Benny's apartment, Victorian Mansion and maybe the Victorian townhouse .

The rest of them I probably will not build.

Comments, Questions, suggestions, & complaints are always welcome!

These are all very good. I especially like the pizza car with the curved sign on the roof.

Thanks! The pizza truck was not my idea, but was included in a official Lego set in green instead of red.

I have now added a Fire Station to the first post!

The Octan station is my favorite of all of them 'Murdoch17'.......LDD On Brick On !

Thank you, but the Octan station was originally a 2011 LDD "starter model". i just finished it, put on a roof and rear wall, added the truck, plus some better pumps inspired by a Brick City Depot model my brother re-created.

NEW MODEL: V-8 Fuels' retro-styled gas station is a throwback to the glory days of the Drive In Theaters, Route 66, tail-fins on cars, & full service gas stations.

This model was originally built in 2012. It was inspired by the 2011 CARS set 8487, (Flo's V8 Cafe) but made larger and without the launcher and car wash. Yesterday I re-discovered the model and enlarged the bays from six to eight wide, added a rear to the building for the gas station attendant, and redid the curved roof covering the 8 gas pumps.

The inside features a clock, four-flavor soda fountain, and the attendant's desk. Their is also a storage area under the soda fountain.

I prefer the Octan gas station to the V8 one, but it would make an awesome drive-in diner.

[tikicult]

These are awesome! Its exactly the scale that I want to learn to build for my city. Thanks for the inspiration!!

--SNIP--

Thanks! I thought about making it into a drive in diner, but I already have two eateries, (and no need for a third!) so i decided to make it into a gas station instead.

These are awesome! Its exactly the scale that I want to learn to build for my city. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Thank you. Feel free to use these in your town, as that's the reason i included LDD files!

Newly minted model fresh off the press:

Old Stone Bank

I took set the Bank from the 2011 Harry Potter LEGO set Diagon Alley (number 10217) and gave it a make over into a more City-like set. First I straightened the columns out, and added a more protected Bank teller area. I then redid the roof at the cost of the folding sides with a more "complete" skylight. The vault was shortened width-wise by 1 stud, making it 3 studs thick. (plus the door, of course)

The sign out front feature the two stickers from the 2014 Getaway Glider LEGO Movie set (number 70800). One says "BA" while the other says "NK". (Here is the complete sticker sheet: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=70800stk01 )

Here you can see the redone teller area, smaller bank vault and a better view of the new skylight.

This old-fashioned Bank also features a vehicle: a vintage 1940's armored truck. It was taken from Arkham Asylum Breakout (set number 10937) and modified into a Bank truck.

[Zerobricks]

Dont know why but the old bank reminds me of the one from GTA vice city:

[Murdoch17]

Thanks everyone with the compliments!

Here is something new to add to my build list:

Ironwood Hotel

This Hotel was born out of boredom. I was not doing much when I stumbled upon set 7633 (2009's Construction Site, link: http://www.bricklink...em.asp?S=7633-1 ) and was hit with the idea of making that CITY building front into a Creator-style full building with an opening back. I struggled with the design until i saw some Friends - themed instructions by a blogger named Kristel. (link to her awesome blog: http://modularsbykristel.com/ ) Her "Joanna’s Place" instructions inspired the roof design and the middle floors' windows. Then I combined all that with the HOTEL sign from the 2007 Cafe Corner modular building. (link: http://www.bricklink...m.asp?S=10182-1 ) I threw together the interior, (If you can call three beds and a front desk "interior"!) at the last minute.

As I said before, I am no interior designer. The beds were copied from Medieval Market Village (set 10193, link: http://www.bricklink...m.asp?S=10193-1 ) and the desk was a table scrap.

LDD file for the Hotel: http://www.mocpages....1415988835m.lxf

What do you think about the Hotel (or any other one of the buildings)?

Edited November 14, 2014 by Murdoch17

[lightningtiger]

Neat design there 'Murdoch17'......though it's more hostel style....no doors ?

And oh, dear no bathrooms ?

Though I do realise with not much space......well, a loo and shower is a bit hard to squeeze in.

Brick On LDD On 'Murdoch17' !

[EvMan]

Hola!

These are all ace. Excellent work modularising Diagon Alley and Medieval Market Village and improving the vehicles. Thanks for posting both photos and LDDs.

[Murdoch17]

I'm reviving this topic with a new model:

Barber Shop

This Barber Shop was partially inspired by set 7641, (City Corner, link to BrickLlink: http://www.bricklink...em.asp?S=7641-1 ) and it's bike shop and partially by the works of Kristel, whose Instructions from her blog led me to this roof design.

Anyway, the building has a sign out front that is supposed to say "BARBER SHOP", in printed letters. Underneath that is a barber pole and two haircut styles on display in the front window.

The first floor features two display heads with vintage hair styles, some chairs for waiting customers, and a cash register. On the second floor is two swivel chairs that also can recline (these chairs were copied from the ones in the Detective's Office modular building) and some bottles of hair care products.

and here is the buildings I want / need to get all together:

The buildings seen here are as follows: the red building is a Pizzeria, the gray one is a Barber Shop, the blue one is for Benny's model space-ship shop, while the big tan building with the water tower on top is the fire station. These buildings all hinge open, with detailed interiors for each. They form the modern section of my town, which is mostly comprised of early-1900's looking buildings. These (along with my set 7997-styled railroad station) are also the most colorful buildings I have in my collection.

I have a soft spot for City buildings, these are really nice! I reconized all of the ones that were based off of actual sets too.

Thank you. Here is another building based off half of set 6390, a Classic Town set from 1980. (This set was re-released in 2003 under the short-lived Lego LEGENDS line as set 10041.) This is my second version of Benny the 1980-something space guy's home, and looks a lot better than the first.

Built in 1904 as a automobile repair shop, this building was sold several times until it came into the possession of Benny the 1980-something space guy around 1979. He remodeled the building into his own residence, with a garage on the first floor and his house on the second. The printed 1x1 number tiles spelling out "1978" should go on the studs above the door, as this is the year classic space started and is a appropriate house address.

The upper floor features a layout with miniature buildings, a bed, side-table with lamp, computer, a micro-model of Benny's SPACESHIP! LEGO set and a telephone. The back folds to the side providing access to the inside, as seen here.

All the colors of classic space are featured in some form on the second floor furnishings and fixtures.

It goes like this:

Red - table for computer

Green - bedspread

Yellow - computer chair

Blue - lampshade

Black - stair railing

White - telephone

This Classic Space car features:

-Trans-Yellow glass / headlights

-Classic space logo on the rear of the car (This piece: http://www.bricklink...sp?P=30363pb021 )

-Classic Space accurate color scheme

The rear features the (printed!) classic space logo from Benny Spaceship, plus a license plate of your choice.

NOTE: This car has had one change to it since I took this picture! The wheel-wells have been changed to the longer style because the short style does NOT exist in this color. Sorry for any confusion on the matter. The LDD file also has the wrong style wheel-wells.

EDIT: I should be building the Backwash Saloon on Monday, 1/26/15.

UPDATE I have redone the town hall!

Background:

The current Ironwood Town Hall was built in 1939 and features two floors with the top floor featuring the mayor's office and records room containing, among other things, Birth certificates, Death notices, Land deeds, census records and other such items from 2010 to the present. (Everything from 2009 back to 1899 goes in the basement.) The first floor features the secretary’s desk and the stairs to the second floor.

My Notes:

This building was inspired by 2008 set 10184, Town Plan. I added a rear to the building in a style like set 31026, Bike Shop & Cafe. The building also takes cues from Scotnick and his modular take on the Town plan set. (see it here: https://www.flickr.c...s-55973205@N08/ ) Please note, my version of the building is not modular, and swings open to reveal the inside, such as in set 31026.

I personally think it looks very Back To The Future-like.

The upper floor features the mayors office with filing cabinets while the lower floor features the secretary’s desk.

The middle rear window was very frustrating: it doesn't look like I imagined it but does manage to give off a clean appearance.

I have also updated the Backwash Saloon + it's LDD file to include a new "neon" sign. Here is a pic of how it looks:

The LDD file for the update is in the first post.

Thanks! Here is the next in the series:

Haunted House

Fictional background:

Built in 1925, this house was originally owned by the Beckett family, who took control of the Imperial Bank of Ironwood in 1916. The family was headed by Joseph, who was the Bank president. In 1929, the main branch of the Bank of Ironwood was gutted by fire right down to the stone walls. The Beckett's were just stating to rebuild when the Great Depression hit later that month, and destroyed the Beckett family fortune. Joseph took his own life in the family room on Christmas morning, 1929. His wife then died of a stroke upon discovering her husband's body. The house has been haunted ever since, as screams of terror and gunshots can be heard coming from the house each Christmas ever since. However, the gun used in the apparent suicide was never found. Was it murder? Nobody alive today knows for sure. The house still stands there, unoccupied and boarded up.

My Notes:

This build was based on LEGO set 4756 (called Shrieking Shack ) from the 2004 Harry Potter / Prisoner of Azkaban movie line. My revamped version of the set features a hinge system to allow access to the interior while preserving the sense that it is a complete building. The house also has a interior and a secret exit through the fireplace.

The lower floor features a phonograph and two chairs, plus the secret fireplace escape route.

The second floor features a rotten bed frame.

The rear view features the secret exit and more boarded up windows. There are 10 of those 1x6 tan tiles in this build, and all of them are missing a specific rare wooden board print. (see it here: http://www.bricklink...m.asp?P=6636px1 )

I was wondering when someone would say that!

You should build an entire town with this!

You should build an entire town with this!

I'm working on it: I already have a bunch of these buildings, but some will only remain digital because I only have so much money / time!

Almost all the buildings seen here have been built - the two on the ends have not been constructed yet.

That means Sinister Manor and the Town Hall are next to build. The other buildings that are not shown will probably not be built... except maybe the Fire Station and the barber shop.

Here is the ldd file for the complete model of the eight buildings seen above: http://www.mocpages....1423358695m.lxf
