Here we go, the bank today....no more to do to this one at least, all the equipment and a custom figure too !

What's next.....ah, the Landmark store......hopefully tomorrow.

Nice model, although I don't really like the stickers.

Thank you 'Anton', though stickers give the MOC it's I.D., and it takes pride of place in my Aussie country town.

Nice job there, only thing I would do is to put a small ANZ logo sticker on the curved bit above the ATM.

Thanks 'jonwil', I tried generating some more stickers yesterday.....but I need to go back and use my other computer - Windows 7 is not as easy to MS Paint as you think.
Again, as I said....FINAL....all my buildings are being finalised so then the town is complete given the resources and funds available to me.

Cool, I'm impressed by how much detail you've managed to fit into quite a small space (like the safe-style door at the back of the ATM)

[prateek]

Looks nice. I like the understated exterior, which looks quite classy

[lightningtiger]

Thanks 'prateek' and 'Princess Storm' for your kind words, yes I do like working in art-deco !

Since the Lowes building is quite tall I decided to add a little height to the bank !

Comments welcome.

I think the building is nice, but pretty small for a bank. Maybe those ar usual sizes in australia, but over here banks are normallly a lot bigger. Although it is a nice build, you should really get those blue stickers off.... it's the use of Lego that makes or breaks a building! In general, i would like to see more studs and lego, and less stickers.....
I like your enthusiasm!

Thanks for the comments 'LegoSjaak', but removing the stickers would defeat the purpose of building an Australian theme town and tiling gives it that 'is it really made from Lego' look to it.....I like surprising people.
And the small size of the bank, well in small country towns banks in Oz are small, only in larger towns do we get two storey banks.

I have said it before and I will say it again, this bank looks GOOD.
Looks like it could easily have been a smaller bank that got swallowed up by the ANZ in one of the many many mergers that entity has undergone over the years :)

Thanks 'jonwil', yeah I guess it might have been a Bank Of Adelaide branch once, ANZ merged that bank into their empire over thirty years ago !

[Darkdragon]

I think this looks great. Love the detail inside and the building design. I think the stickers look fine and like the poster especially :)

Tip: When you need to use full bleed color on a white sticker, use a similar color all around the edges of the sticker before applying it. You'll be surprised how much of an improvement it makes an how many fewer "don't like the stickers" comments you'll get.

I actually meant the stickers on the 'money-o-mat' The ANZ-deco is ofcourse necessary to give it its destination.  The tiling is nice, and sometimes i also end up in tiling almost everything, but i think it should have some studs.... just to be sure that everyone sees it is indeed Lego!
I like your look on buildings, and because of the fact that you also publish foto's of the real buildings, i see what it looks like in Australia.

Greetz and never stop building!
