[MOC] Porsche Dealership

[tomclair]

Hi everybody, 

This is my first post on the forum but i've been an Eurobricks fan for several years! Every MOCs that I see on the forum inspires me a lot.

So here's a Porsche Dealership that i made on LDD last year. I'm looking to build it for real soon. There's a full dealership interior, a Porsche Design Shelf and a repair shop. 

Hope you like it!

That E... it hurts to look at

[tomclair]

@Metagross555 Yeah, I know, I'm still working on it

Fantastic, very similar to the real one, the round corner is simply perfect for the final result!

Looking at this on my tiny phone the rest is so accurate my mind filled in the missing detail  It really does look just like a Porsche dealer. Love the poster of 42096

If I'm building it in real, I may add more details and references like the poster

Looking good already. Smooth and clean.
But ... dealership, and no cars?

Thanks! For the moment there's a Porsche 918 from the 75910 speed champions set inside the dealership. But i'm planning to make a Porsche Cayenne for the parking outside.

Just a thougt ... maybe you can add some airco / 'extractor' hood on the roof. Guess it might be handy when you have also a repairshop.

I didn’t think about that, good idea!

Part 3680 2x2 turntable base is always a popular choice.

I agree. Nice one. Maybe on top of a 2x2 brick? Or a few next to each other.
With that turntable gives it also a 'clean' look, think it fits good.

I'll try that! Thanks for the suggestion 

Edit: Here's the result

Glad to be helpful. Guess it's (also) because I'm into construction / technical stuff.
But anyhow, looks good. I think they have plenty of 'fresh air' and it has also that clean look.

Only the E is a bit of ...

I assume the letters are 3x3 and attach via headlight bricks? Maybe you can do something with 32028 plate with rail where you build it into the wall.

I already tried, and I tried other solutions as well but it doesn’t look good (proportions, sizing). I did several versions of this logo and this one is the most accurate at the moment even with the ugly E. I really want this logo to be in bricks so I’ll keep working on it! 

Thanks for your help and feedback!

The shape looks good!

I do hope that the white behind the letters is tiled?

Chech example

I fear if not, the result will be kinda unsatisfying.

For the "E", maybe a red grille tile will do something (if you place him as the middle horizontal bar of the "E"). That middle horizontal bar won't be the same thickness as the upper and lower bar, but it will break the plain :)

I tried a red grille tile as well, but the result is kinda weird. I think my best bet is to redesign the whole wall behind to better incorporate the logo

I couldn't fit the Ferrari wording on the building so went with it on the wall of the outside sales yard.

Wow, love what you've done here, great techniques on the logo!
