Decided to build a little lego store in the colors of lego (yellow). Second floor interior is still work in progress..

Nice little shop. You should get some of those bricks/tiles with pictures of Lego sets printed on them (or maybe they were stickers?).

And how did you manage the 13-wide base? I suspect you used an 8 wide baseplate and a mutilated second one to get the additional 5 studs?

Yes sir i sinned by mutilating a second one :P had to do that to squeeze it into my display cabinet with the rest of the modulars

It was a little bit cramped...too much details on the outside and it don`t look like a Lego Store on the inside i think....... :blush:

I dont think it is meant to be an official Lego store...its meant to be a small shop selling lego in a small clasisc town...

but thanks for your feedback :)

Nice job :thumbup: ...I really like the almost 'over the top' architectural detailing of the exterior. It has hints of an old European Town House. The use of yellow and black on the walls really cements it into the Classic era, but with a modular twist.

I agree your interior could use some refinement, however just dismissing it as cramped etc is not really constructive for the designer! I for one, love the overall feedback that this forum brings for builders, but if you have a criticism to bring to the table, at least back it with helpful suggestions. These projects are WIP and can only progress if we as a forum offer up help and suggestions....phew...rant over....sorry about that EB :wub:

On the interiors I think it hinges on what you want to achieve...

If its a small town shop selling Lego on the side...then maybe the interior needs that 'old time' shop aesthetic & detail, with a Lego section allocated to one side or a corner. At the moment your shop looks like its under attack from legoness :classic:. Take some inspiration form the Creator sets that I noticed you have in the background. Also...I always work by the mantra bestowed on me by my last Architectural Design Tutor.... "Always design with KISS [Keep It Simple Stupid]. The stupid was for me :laugh: ...he was strange man. I digress.....

However, if its a Lego brand store, then I would stick with the colours and details but maybe focus it more on what you would expect if TLG came to your town and retrofitted an old shop with their brand. I agree that some Lego printed tiles and perhaps a PAB wall, which is relatively easy to do...even if its a wee one, would really lift your interiors. There was a modular Lego shop on this forum not so long ago, perhaps have a wee peak and see how that designer designed the inside of the shop, and get some inspiration :wink:

Great work and cant wait to see how it progresses!
