georgivar Posted July 15, 2010 Hi again :) Here is my latest creation - a yellow house in CC style. It is a recreation of a real building in my hometown Sofia. Here is the real one: And here is my Lego rendering: It is not quite finished but the general look is this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marckeyh Posted July 15, 2010 That's pretty much spot on, good job. My only criticism would be, tan colour in stead of yellow would be perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueBard Posted July 15, 2010 Wonderful job, and pretty close to the original! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artifex Posted July 15, 2010 I like it. I think the black roof works pretty well with the yellow brick/white details combination. I think tan would give a more realistic feel, and you could go that way for model accuracy, but we do have yellow-painted buildings in the real world too - maybe you should just build another one, tan instead of yellow, and place each of them in different parts of your Lego town. Keep up the good work - and I'm a conformist!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincent Kessels Posted July 15, 2010 Very good! It is impressive that it looks so accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted July 15, 2010 Excellent MOC 'georgivar' - I really like the yellow used here, though a lighter shade would be a closer match - but still an excellent design ! I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antonio Posted July 15, 2010 Its super cool i love it , i love the terace too, good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonas Posted July 15, 2010 A really nice MOC, very close to the original. I like the yellow and white combitation of colors, it makes clear that the house has just passed renovation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgivar Posted July 15, 2010 10x all :) you are very kind! regarding the color - the actual building looks more yellow than tan. It never occurred to me that I could use tan. And on the other side - I don't have so many tan bricks ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetroiD Posted July 15, 2010 Can't wait to see this one in person in a couple of months! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOldGamer Posted July 15, 2010 Simply extremely excellent design as usual, Georgi! It`s very nice to see any of your mocs`s and I can`t wait to see it finished Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piratedave84 Posted July 15, 2010 WOW!! Excellent work, the MOC is absolutely stuning and quite close to the original model!!! It also fits perfectly in the feel LEGO is gibing it's modular CC houses/buildings SUPERB! Pirate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted July 15, 2010 Wow, that's a lovely rendering of the real house. You really captured the overall look of the real thing very well. Job most impressive 'georgivar'! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy Posted July 15, 2010 10x all :) you are very kind! regarding the color - the actual building looks more yellow than tan. It never occurred to me that I could use tan. And on the other side - I don't have so many tan bricks ;) Wonderful building! I love it! Great recreation of an existing building. If you would want to nitpick on details: light yellow would probably come closest in the Lego color guide, from what I observe from the photo. But I am unsure if all the needed bricks are available in that particular color. And one could argue that regular yellow is a more pleasing color variation in a particular city layout. For the smaller windows in the attic I would like to suggest this piece for the trimming: Link to piece on Bricklink. As it is more curved. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards, Teddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted July 15, 2010 Great rendering of a house in bricks! You can get a shade of yellow closer to real life, Light Yellow. But it is possibly less common (I have about six bricks in this colour..) so rather a costly replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jan Posted July 15, 2010 Great building, and really close to the real thing. Just one small comment, I would make the floors of the balconies one or two plates thinner, they look rather massive now, and also leave out the plates under the tiles on top of the railing if you understand what I mean. I think that would make the balconies a bit more "Airy", if thats a word. I think the yellow gives the building an extreme fresh look, and fits well in the summertime.

Carbohydrates Posted July 15, 2010 Very nicely built! The whole thing has a wonderful feel to it. It does look like the balconies on the model stick out a hair farther than on the real one, so if you're shooting for accuracy there, consider replacing the extruding 1 x 4 fence pieces with a few telescope pieces to shorten it up a little. Just a thought! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badsneaker Posted August 2, 2010 I think it looks great! I think sometimes trying to recreate a "real" building is harder than doing your own creation. I love the brightness of it! Keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eiker86 Posted August 4, 2010 really nice recreation =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotoAndLego Posted August 4, 2010 Looks great. My suggestion would be to give the chimneys some details as they just look like 2x4 black bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fires-storm Posted August 4, 2010 Well done, I actually have no suggestions for this, as even though it doesn't look exactly like the photo I find it beautiful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
