The Sava Railways building

[SavaTheAggie]

Headquarters of Sava Railways

This started life as a much smaller, throw-away façade, three walled half building, designed to be on the inside edge of train layouts. But once we decided it was a Railroad headquarters, I decided I wanted to expand it.

It's modular building friendly, designed to be a left handed corner building. The long side is meant to lean against its neighbor, the short side creates a small alley.

I'm very pleased with how it turned out, even if it was really just an excuse to get rid of all the medium blue 1x2 plates I have on hand.

Very nice!

I always admire those facades built almost entirely out of small plates. Must take an eternity to assemble, but I think it looks great!

Nice detailing on the facade, too!

Oh my. Where in the world do you get enough 1x2 plates to make something like this? This is a very impressive moc, even if it's just a city block filler.

Oh, wow. What a way to get rid of the medium blue plates.

Stunning work with all those details.

Love the medium blue plate walls, definitely a good way to get rid of those excess plates Superb detailing all around makes for a very impressive modular building

Thanks all. The excess medium blue plates came from both the LEGO Pick a Brick wall, as well as donations from my fellow LUG-mates, from when I was building my Bluebonnet Station MOC. That, too, was a building designed to use up excess medium blue plates, but I became too ambitious and needed more than I had. Through the different sources, after finishing Bluebonnet, I actually ended up with more medium blue plates than I started with! So, I decided to continue using them up in the grandest fashion I could.

I already have ideas on how to improve this one, though sadly it'll require some nimble tearing apart of the different floors. The biggest change I have planned is for the first floor. Time will tell how that turns out.

Wow that is extremely amazing!!!1

Amazing. Light blue and medium stone grey go together so well. Really like the plates approach and detail at the top.

Thanks all, I appreciate it.

I decided to have some fun with photo editing software:
