I spent nearly all of yellow and brown brciks at home to make this post office and service station!
The post office include the post counter and mail vehicle car park, the servic station is the centre for repairing the vehicle!

It is the first time, i tried to make the MOC in western building style! I like Post series so much but only 7731 and 7732 were released in the past year!! I want a new post office so much, so i make a post office!!! In order to let the mail vehicle to enter and repair, i made a service station !!!

This is a really lovely Postoffice :wub:
So many nice details. I didn´t looed through it all yet, I was just amazed and wanted to post of giving you some nice comments :wink:
I also always liked to build postoffices in the past, but this is just a brilliant one.
Wish TLC could do something simular. Reminds a bit like a old office we used to have in Gothenburg.

Thanks!!! I also hope Lego co. can release more post series too!!! Actually, the idea of this post office is from a Germany Train Station.

Interesting post office - quite like the outside of it. The service station or garage/workshop - also impressive. Both seem to have a lot going on inside them. Although I would have the post/parcel loading dock on the outside of the post office.
Very well done. :classic:

Design of the building is very appealing!
I like the front section of the post office!
Garage is very nice, too.!

I would suggest to move the parked vehicles out of the post office, or just build a wall or something to block that nasty exhaust gases away from waiting minifigs!

Thanks for your comment!!
So many lego fans also suggest to remove the car park or block it! We also consider the air pollution within the post office!!! :tongue:

It would be funny if you put "no smoking sign" in the post office, while letting the cars from the parking lot to pollute the inside of the post with exhaust :tongue:
You can move the parked cars on a new parking lot at the side of the building, or even behind it, that way you can use the newly acquired space inside for a new shelter, or for a storage of the packages.

I will consider to improve the design later!! Thanks!

I really like the exteriors of the two buildings. The interior, especially the post office could do with some more detailing (upstairs) and I agree with Milan that it's a bit weird to have the cars parked there, especially considering that it doesn't have a back. Aren't you considering adding a fourth wall? In that way you could have the cars parked outside and perhaps have a sorting area in the back.

Really great designs, just as I love them: not gargantuan but still nicely detailed! :thumbup: My favourite is the Post Office with that pretty facade and of course the interiors are great too. Great job! :wink:

Both are awsome! (but my preference goes to the Service Station, I really like the use of brown parts to simulate true bricks)

Hello!

A great combination of buildings! And also very carefully designed with lovely details in mind. :classic: I loved to see the old post van from set 6362 in the garage. Made me dream of former days! :sweet:

Cheers,

Great design and excellent result!

Both buildings look great and they really match together. What I really appreciate is the size of them. Not too big and not small, both are suitable for any city layout.

Well done! :thumbup:


P.S
3-wheeled forklift eh? :wink:
I really like it! Any more pictures on that?
