I'm working on a new MOC: A XVIII century pier. Well, just a "portion" of it

I'm going to use two of my Harbor MOC buildings again: the tavern and the white store, rebuilt in a bigger version. In fact I had the original idea of making a big tavern scene but finally I decided to make it more interessant with more buildings and some other surprises

Here are two pictures of the progress: (sorry about the quality...)





And one of the workers:



I hope you'll like it!

The mini-figures constructing it look rather modern for builders of a XVIII century pier. They better do a good job all the same!

I'm just curious, but do you draw out floor plans for this?

I don't understand you

You ask me if I have made a project of that or if I have inspired my MOC on real plans to do the floor?

Ah, you know, for those builders you have to travel to the past, bring them here, find pieces of eight to pay them... Those modern ones were easier to find and cheaper!

By the way I remember I still have the projects for this MOC I did in Lego Digital Designer. I'll try to post it here

Floor plans, as in you map out how the MOC will look on grid paper before actually making it, because many parts of this look too well made to be on the fly. Some level of preplanning seems to have been needed.

Now I understand...

In fact yes, I do some plans on grid paper, just to see more or less what is MOC lo going to be and the bricks I'm going to need. After that I use to do a project with LDD to take references and measurements. But I also use to improvise when I'm building so many things of my MOCs are really on the fly

Here are the LDD projects: the base (with a little sewer in the middle and marks for the two buildings), the tavern and a store:







Comments are allways welcome!

No comments at all?

Well, let's post a comment!

I like both your buildings very well , but how about the interior? Not designed yet or are you doing the interior with real bricks only?

Thanks for the comment! LOL

The interior is not well designed yet (I still need some ideas) but I don't think I'll do a LDD project for that. I prefer doing it while I'm building the rest but I can say there will be a little kitchen, a wine cellar and a couple of rooms in the tavern, and a fireplace in every floor. However I don't have any ideas for the store's interior, apart "stocking" and maybe a little desk... Any suggestion?

I especially like the red and grey house. I already liked this colour combination with train engine shed 10027. For this house it's obviously excellent as well. I'm eager to see the complete version of that building. Moccing on!

[Bonaparte]

This looks like a promising MOC in progress.
The part that I find most fascinating is the design and architecture of the white store.
Building a pier (or a elevated harbour) is also on my list, so I might need to borrow some idea's from you in the future

[Vaders_son]

You could maybe add some kind of a changing room for your shop if you sell some cloth?

I'm sure your pirates would be very happy if some ladies would try the one or the other piece of clothing in there

Thank you very much, guys!

You gave me a real good idea for one of the tavern's rooms...
