PaddyBricksplitter Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Hi all, Here's my latest moc, I wanted to capture the urban decay of 70's NYC and try my hand at a brownstone building. Then I added dinosaurs for obvious reasons. Hope ya like it :) Quote
Graham Gidman Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 You've really captured the feeling of decay. Great job! Quote
Spud The Viking Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Love the window blinds - nice touch! Quote
PaddyBricksplitter Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 You've really captured the feeling of decay. Great job! Thanks Graham. Love the window blinds - nice touch! Thank you. I have used those bricks as blinds before, I think they work well. Quote
ReplicaProfile Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 This MOC reminds me of the Mario movie. Quote

SwissBrick Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Love the window blinds - nice touch! Love them too, very clever idea to use these bricks! The minifigs you used fit very well in the NYC 70's scene! Wonder what that prison like door is on the ground floor Thanks for sharing! Quote

Wonder what that prison like door is on the ground floor Thanks for sharing! Thats supposed to be the security gate, seems lots of buildings had them on the ground floor from what I can see from photographs. Quote
Exetrius Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 The sinister look of the scene is great! And well, dino heads just make all things better Quote
gcanik Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Great job on the brickwork and color combinations...definitely gives it that run down, old feeling. And I love the name of this Moc and the fact that the Raptor heads have cop covers on them...stupendous!!!!! Quote
eurotrash Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Totally digging this! Just the right amount of decay and newspapers and litter scattered about. And it has freakin' dinosaurs! If the guy in cuffs is singing "Don't push me cos I'm close to the edge" then this MOC is so full of win the internet will collapse. Excellent job. Quote

TheLazyChicken Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Wow amazing job! The side of the building is built nicely and so are the window blinds! Quote
ReplicaProfile Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Sorry about that, it was totally unintentional. I realize I should have elaborated more but I did not intended to insult you, it's a nice build. The brickwork is amazing. I just affiliate dinosaurs filing the roles of humans in a New York environment with that movie . Edited August 22, 2015 by TrentonC Quote
Still Raindrop Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) The places you stay and where you play looks like one great big alleyway. Sorry, I know it's been referenced already, but I couldn't resist. Great job showing that kind of decay--the colors and that top floor make it so convincing (as well as all the little details). Edited August 22, 2015 by Mariko Quote
Hobbythom Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Awesome stuff. Reminds me of my childhood when I build plastic kits and created ruins to place my soldiers in. Very nicely done! Quote
hachiroku Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 They should be partners of Triceracops. Nice moc! Quote
peedeejay Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Another great build! Them dinosaurs... :laugh: Quote

I just affiliate dinosaurs filing the roles of humans in a New York environment with that movie . I'm not insulted I was just sorry that I made you think of that awful movie. Bob Hoskins and Dennis Hopper, what were they thinking? The places you stay and where you play looks like one great big alleyway. Sorry, I know it's been referenced already, but I couldn't resist. Great job showing that kind of decay--the colors and that top floor make it so convincing (as well as all the little details). Yeah thats what I was listening to when I built it They should be partners of Triceracops. Nice moc! Yes there were so many dinosaurs working as cops back then but the herbivores and carnivores never really got on. Quote
mandylions Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 This is brilliant. I love the run-down building, sucker for brownstones. Also anything with dinosaurs gets my adoration, especially dinosaur cops. Might need one of those to patrol in my town. Quote

I have always found brownstones as they appeared in the 70's interesting to look at. And who doesn't like a few monsters thrown in. Just like Sesame Street. Quote
jonwil Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Very nice building, looks like the sort of building that someone like Robert Moses might have targeted for replacement with one of his expressway plans (whole suburbs full of buildings like this were bulldozed to make way for shiny new expressways under Moses) Quote
Only Sinner Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I like all the terrific detail in this MOC, but now you've got me thinking; Do raptor cops take donut breaks? Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Great build - terrific! Excellent use of the different masonry bricks. Quote
