tsi Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Hi, I would like to share my 1st Modular-MOC: The old pharmacy. It`s build with a wide range of parts of the last 50years. One of the oldest is the bush in the front, the newest one is the clear pin holder for the crow on the balustrade. The building has full interior. For the windows I focussed on the old 5x6 windows from the 70ies. The used stickers are replics of original LEGO-stickers (e.g. from set 232), only the two "Apotheke"-bricks are graved ones. You´ll find more pics with details and the complete interior of the building in my picture-folder. Thanks for watching! ThomaS Edited July 21, 2015 by tsi Quote
Exetrius Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 So much details, very nice shape, great colour scheme, great interior, your MOC has it all Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Delightful modular design 'tsi', the old chemist shop is just AWESOME with the shelves and drawers.......in fact I the whole creation ! Brick On 'tsi' ! Quote
ReplicaOfLife Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Wow, absolutely brilliant first MOC. Great, harmonious exterior design, and an abundance of details both inside and out! And great parts throughout, you've included several parts I never even knew existed. For example, I wasn't aware that the old 6x5 window existed in brown (actually wasn't aware that Lego even MADE brown parts back in the 70ies), or the old tap piece in old grey/chrome. And I never even saw that chrome mug or that bird's cage before. The old window glass seems to be in great condition, too! Also some npu throughout, e.g. the lotr rings as drawer handles. Quote
peedeejay Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 This is a stunning build especially for a first MOC. The attention to detail is amazing. You managed to put together a variety of parts from different decades into a very appealing creation. Quote
Palixa And The Bricks Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Wow, that's gorgeous I especially like the colour scheme and all the lovely details inside and outside the building. Quote
Zerobricks Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 As others said amazing first MOC. And a very broad spectrum of parts! Quote
Sir Stig Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Okay that's it. I'm officially awoken from my dark ages. Stunning. Your eye for details are inspiring. I have to click something together now. Quote
eurotrash Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 That's a lovely looking MOC. Thanks for sharing it with us. Quote
tsi Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 Thanks @all for the compliments! It´s a great pleasure and honor for me to read your comments! Roger noticed the original LEGO chrome parts inside the house and a few other special and seldom things: It was especially not easy to find 15(!) of the old brown windows including glasses in good condition. I had to restore the old glasses with ACRYL-polish. Hopefully you can see the effect My personal most loved detail is the roof deck with crow and awning Thanks again for watching and commenting!

tsi Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) hi, I received some questions which I would try to response here: The building is on the ground floor smaller than on the 1st and 2nd floor. This was often done in reality in old buildings in Europe because the price of land was so high. By Using this architecture trick, you were able to build larger houses on small grounds. You can see here a real house using this technic. The birdcage it this item. The bench seat is this item The modular has of course steps between the floors, as you can see here. I did not use the 1x2 technic bricks for modular connection, because I only find them practical in theory: all my modulars are in line on a shelf. If they were connected with pins, it would be nearly impossible to move one single modular without touching them all. Thanks ThomaS Edited June 9, 2015 by tsi Quote
Withacee Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Excellent tsi, I love your design. Facade is brilliant, and finally someone who pays attention to the back of the building! Nitpicking: The colours of the awning on the ground floor (yellow and lime) look slightly out of place with the rest of the facade. But this is a detail, and also subject to personal opinion. Keep clicking those bricks together! Quote
Ex cinno Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Very nice moc. I like the building structure and the colours scheme too. Quote
greg3 Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Beautiful work!! I love so much about it, in particular; the roof design, the attention to detail (for some reason I especially like the water pump out back!!) and the huge variety of parts you've used. It really does look like the sort of place you could imagine people living/working in! Excellent stuff!! Quote
King Andy Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Hey, as you know I posted about it on the portuguese LUG Comunidade 0937, I really like this modular but ended up not leaving a comment here. This building is great in so many aspects, like reproducing so well a typical German old building, the amazing amount of detail outside and inside and even for using parts harder to find. Just excellent work, tsi. Quote
Covenant84 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Love this. It reminds me of the cake shop from the Studio Ghibli 'Howel's Moving Castle' for some reason. Keep up the good work. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Excellent pharmacy! Front and back are equally great! Quote
Loves Houses Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Really lovely MOC - hope the Lego AFOL community will see more of you in the next months! Where do you have the green fences on the back side from? Quote
Gabor Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Wow! Amazing building with a huge amount of nice detailes on the facade and at the interior, too! Quote
Sammael Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Where do you have the green fences on the back side from? Those are from the Elves sets. Every time I look at this modular, I discover something new. Truly a masterpiece! Quote
Legoboy22 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Stunning MOC just stunning, everything about it blends together to make one amazing modular building. I hope you build more of these because they are beautiful. Stunning MOC just stunning, everything about it blends together to make one amazing modular building.
