sdrnet Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Here is my latest creation: the Winter Station! As previously announced in the spring of 2014, the station was the last big building I had in mind to achieve. I got there just now because I can finally put the railroad in my diorama in a new row of bases on the front. The station occupies two bases 32x32 and has a considerable size but always in line with the other buildings in my village (visit here: https://www.flickr.c...57638505699563/). I tried to enter details as possible using many small parts and developing very both the architectural interiors. Throughout the building (including its two bases of support) has over 4600 pieces. The architecture is reminiscent of a mix front of some stations real, for example for the clock on top of the roof I was inspired by some Italian stations. The tracks pass close to the dock, which allows travelers to get on and off easily by train. On front side windows with embellishments side obtained with techniques snot and upper ones have the shutters of wood with a central cross that look a bit the north-European style. The clock on top is an addition to not leave the roof too simple. But now we speak of the interior: I worked a lot on the interior looking at part of recreating a station in reality. It helped me in this also my personal experience in the world of railways and railway signaling. In the central part of the ground floor there is an open corridor (without front door) of passage for the public. At the bottom left you can see the control room with the head station while controlling rail traffic with all its equipment. Alongside you can see instead of the ticket office with two doors to the public, monitor for announcements of trains departing and arriving, a tree with Christmas decorations and accessories. At the bottom right is the waiting room. In this room is accessed by a door from the central corridor. The room is composed of a series of wooden benches for waiting minifig and some accessories such as newspapers, lamps, flowers and paintings. The walls and floors look a little stations of 60/70 years with a retrò style. And now comes the most interesting part: the attic. The floor is reached by a staircase from the hallway and opening a trap door on the attic. For some time I wanted to make an attic by inserting a bit 'of everything. The basic idea was to make it look like a storage of goods, or rather a warehouse where it was placed a bit 'of everything and consequently left abandoned over time. No attendant at the station today remembers what is stored there! If you look around carefully you will notice several things extravagant and of course I have not forgotten the reference to some famous films, especially the golden object on the right. The boxes with printed markings are 3 accessories can be purchased on site www.minifigforlife.com Other details The floor gives access to the side doors to two small terraces in which it was done a Christmas tree (left) and a little man with snow (right). The gear technic you see behind the clock serves to adjust the time, of course, will allow us to have just the right time twice a day! In the building there are 10 minifigs and as usual I have included a number of fairly rare pieces as if it were a UCS. The part of the roof is easily removable for a better look at the ceiling; Also the entire first floor is removable in order to better observe the ground floor. Finally, the entire station is removable from the base to be able to put in boxes for transport. Enjoy! Gallery HD images on Flickr: https://www.flickr.c...57650075760667/ Quote
Gongoro73 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Yet another amazing creation for your Winter Village layout. I'm a huge fan of your work, and this is no exception. Beautiful building, covered with lots of great details. I love it. The only thing I'm not 100% convinced are 2nd floor windows. Maybe a couple of different sized windows (double windows perhaps) would add a little more 'movement' to the floor. Just my humble opinion... But anyway, fantastic work. Congrats. Quote
Kristel Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Awesome! Love the different flooring patterns and the attic is the best! Great attention to detail as always, especially the snow on the side balconies. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Now I don't often say this......but that design is really funky.......I the design inside and out plus the action or goings-on there. Brick On 'sdrnet' ! Quote
LegoSjaak Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I like what you did with the round 1x1 tiles in the pavement.. it gives a classic look! Quote
plastic_ati Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 That's great! I truly love everithing inside and outside - the windows, the snow on the roofs, the detailed and sometimes funny interior - everything! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Beautiful station - wonderfully put into scene! Quote
L@go Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Absolutely gorgeous! And for so many reasons. I really like those architectural details on the facade, around the windows, and having an attic with so much funny stuff is a great touch. And that snowman with the wizard hat...! :) Brilliant. Quote
legonerd54321 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Hands down, one of the BEST MOCS I've ever seen. Great job!! Quote
Asper Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Great station, with amazing details. I'm a great fan of your winter village, and this is a wonderful addition. Quote
sdrnet Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Thank you all for the wonderful comments! I am also very happy to know that I have fans who follow my project of winter village ... I will keep you updated! Quote
Withacee Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Mama mia! Now there's a station! Love all the details, inside and out. Will fit in nicely with the rest of your display. The attic is a great idea, and brilliantly executed. My favourite part is the room of the station master. You might want to fit a few of those figs with proper winter attire, though; they're freezing out there. Keep clicking those bricks together! Quote
gazumpty Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Cracking work...your builds never fail to deliver on style, detail and ingenuity Quote
Venunder Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Wonderful station but probably £140 if it ever got produced by TLG. Quote
3BrickFriends Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Its a good looking station on the outside but the inside is awesome. A great MOC. Quote
ArchitectureFan Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Impressive. I like this very much - the overall archicture and the amazing details inside. Quote
