Still Raindrop Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Hi, everyone! A while ago I had a modular street that I had built, though the style was more akin to classic town in modular format (bright colors, fewer details, smaller height, etc.). I recently started getting official modulars, and built this one to accompany my street. It's still shorter than the rest, and I'm not entirely happy with all the detailing, but it's relatively complete at the moment. Let me know if there's anything you want more/better pictures of. This building is the China Dragon, the oldest Chinese restaurant in Redbrick Springs. The restaurant is downstairs, and upstairs there is a tea shop. Here's the front view of the store itself. Outside, you may happen to see a postal worker delivering some of the stacks and stacks of menus the China Dragon sends out. Walk inside and you'll be greeted with a smile and a friendly "Welcome!" The interior has a small table and lots of information on the food offered--in multiple languages! The kitchen is always clean and tidy. And everyone is cheerful when they see the imitation jade Buddha statue. Here's a top-down view of the restaurant: Upstairs, you'll find a charming tea shop. Here are some of the wares that are sold: loose black, white, green, and wulong tea, discs of pu'er, plus teaware (including teapots and gaiwans). Here's the tea merchant's table, with scales and her own gaiwan/cups. In the background you can see boxes ready to be unpacked. The back is a little less exciting: Thanks for your visit to the China Dragon! Sorry if the pictures aren't the greatest--I'm still getting used to this new camera. Quote
ponschbob Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Hi I like your Building. It fits great in your street and it has a good recognition value. Good work :) Quote

Still Raindrop Posted October 25, 2015 Author Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) A clean and tidy kitchen in a Chinese restaurant?! Beautiful model and great atmosphere. Well, as long as photographers are around. The owners may have written the descriptions, too. Thanks for the compliment! I wanted to make a good "dive" Chinese restaurant (with a nicer tea shop above), and I thought it would fit in nicely with the DO. Edited October 25, 2015 by Tea Weevil Quote
gavralcraw Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Nice. Love the green plate awning. Great interior work too. Quote
Sir Stig Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) Cool building with great character Especially the ground floor. Edited October 25, 2015 by Sir Stig Quote
Still Raindrop Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks, everyone! And dr_spock, I went through about five different scale designs before finally getting it right. Quote
