The Orangery (MOC)

[eanair]

About 2 years ago Mr. Eanair bought me #4439 - Heavy Lift Helicopter...I didn't really have any need for a helicopter in my town layout, but by playing around with the bricks a bit The Orangery was born.

This building evolved bit by bit and no real planning went into it. I wanted it to look like an elegant Victorian orangery and loved the roof that the curved bricks created, so I only needed to add some cones and telescopes to add ornate detailing. The real key to achieving the look I wanted was the Decorated Arches - I love these soooo much.

The back story is that it was originally the orangery of a stately home, but it has now become a very exclusive bar for my Lego towns VIPs (with added paparazzi lurking outside!!)

The roof comes off for access to the interior - sorry for the pics it's very hard to get decent pics of such a small area!

I'm not keen on the tan baseplate and I'll be changing to a grey one when including it in my layout.

If you'd like to see more pictures, you'll find them on my blog here (apologies for the shameless whoring of the blog!!)

Looks like a very pleasant and high class establishment The outdoor seating you included looks nice as does the small, but well furnished interior

Great work with that roof! The rest of it is really nice as well, though I particularly like the floor pattern on the interior and gold accents

Wow that is an exclusive joint (how many other bars can count Santa as a regular!!) Seriously though, I think it looks great... I especially like the gold detailing on the roof!! The limo from the new airport VIP set would look good parked outside!!

Thanks for sharing!
