[MOD] Assembly Square 10255

[TheWineNut]

Here is my mod of the fantastic Assembly Square Modular Building:

Doesn't look like a mod does it? The mod is that it is one stud narrower than the official model!

I had bought the model to go into built-in shelves in our study, but miscalculated on the measurements. It turn out that the 48-stud wide Assembly Square wouldn't fit into the 47-stud wide space I had in the shelves. I had the option to adjust the shelves or adjust the model so went for, actually told to go for, the latter option. I built the full model first to understand the design; then bought a 48x48 baseplate; cut it to 47x32, and broke down the model to transfer the pieces to new sized base.

On first thought it seemed easy; given the walkway space between the two buildings, but it was trickier than expected. In order to make the forecourt work I had to move the Fountain and coloured tiles forward by one stud and then reconfigure the angled corner pieces.

Other changes were at the mainly adjusting around this; I had to lose the cage piece that holds the greenery up between the buildings; but this isn't noticeable as the greenery happily sits on the arches between the buildings. All up I'm happy with the results and have installed a lighting kit as well.

Honey, do you mind if I rebuild all the shelves to fit my Lego set?

It was a very short discussion.

Neat. I've spent quite a lot on plates to make moduars a bit narrower .3 modulars is about 2 studs too wide for a double Ikea Billy

They're all inside their various rooms, even the baby, remember it's still winter in this part of the world! Here's the dancer getting some practice in.

Thanks for the other kind comments as well.
