OptimusPrime12380 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 B-OM-7A I recently found myself unemployed and having to give up on my plans for building a modular city block, but I wanted to share my MOCs & WIPs with you guys. Unfortunately I've had to start selling a good bit of my collection on bricklink to make ends meet. My MOC/MOD of the Cafe Corner into a 6 story hotel was complete with the 2nd and 6th floors being of my own design and a ton of modding the rest. I was also working on a modular bank building (in light bluish gray) and a modular florist/nursery (in medium blue, dark blue, and tan). Front (Hotel in the center, bank on the left and florist on the right): Rear: Florist/nursery front: Florist/nursery rear w/ greenhouse: The florist building was coming along quite nice, the greenhouse had a detailed interior with plants, flowers, drains, and a hose. Most of the parts for the creation were from the Market Street set, I was bummed when I had to take it apart to complete the Market Street set to list on bricklink. Oh well, I hope to one day pick up building again when I'm in better financial standing, but for now I'm forced to take a break. Hope you guys enjoy the pics. Quote
General Armendariz Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 WOW That is huge! Took alot of sets to build. Quote
Natman8000 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 It looks lovely. It would look great in any city. Quote
Carbohydrates Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Sorry to hear about your situation. I wish you the best in getting going again. Great design, by the way. It certainly looks more like a full-on hotel now! Quote

MetroiD Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I do hope things will get back to normal for you mate... Don't worry, life has a weird way of sorting itself out, so in the end everything's gotta be OK :] Fortune cookie talk aside, this is a wonderful complex you had been working on there! I would have loved to see some pictures of the interior, especially the florist -- we're building one for the Community Build, so we'd gladly take a page out of your book , even though we're doing it on a much smaller scale.

OptimusPrime12380 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks for the compliments!!! I Hope to one day resume my dream of building a LEGO City when my finances improve, in the mean time maybe I can round up some pieces to build something for the Community Build. I have a few ideas I had hoped to include in my city that I've never seen done in any LEGO layout, including some reality based buildings that I wanted for an entertainment district, like a Gentleman's Club, Adult Novelty Store, or Casino. Also had thought about a Comic Shop or Country Club/Golf Course. I'm throwing the ideas out there in case anyone else wants to take the idea and run with it. Quote
The Green Brick Giant Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Very beautiful. However what is a WIP? My sister when to college at WPI. :) Quote
OptimusPrime12380 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 However what is a WIP? WIP is short for Work In Progress Quote
Eilif Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 It's a shame that you can't complete this, but thanks for sharing it with us anyway. It's quite inspirational. You've made me want to add a greenhouse to Brickington. Quote
Fede78 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Amazing. How many Cafè Corner did you buy to built this? Quote
