Although I know I play a few divisions lower than other posters here on Eurobricks, I still wanted to share this one with you. Or maybe I should just call it 1980's style. :-)

I made this one for a friend of mine when his daughter was born. After all, he is the one who got me back into Lego, so I kind of owed it to him.
It's his favourite Chinese restaurant made in Lego bricks. And sure, it's more a kind of daddy-gift than a baby-gift. Who cares?

On the front view, you can see the custom stickers I've made. And the customer who is walking home with his take-away food.
I like how I've captured the shape of the real building with its rounded wall and the roof.

Inside I've used jumpers to make the seats fit easier and to have the minifigs sit closer to the table.
And off course every Chinese restaurant must have a cat in the kitchen.
I'm sorry, but no furniture on the upper floor.

Finally, here's the real building.

Looks premier league to me, thanks for sharing.

I'll have Kung Pao Chicken, hold the cat!

I love that classic feel to it. The architecture is simple, but very nice and looks just like the real thing. I'm sure your friend will love it.  :classic:
