[MOC] Combini - a small convenience store

[the Inventor]

What to do in Japan, right, visit a combini.

This small convenience store has familiar colours, but apparently is not related to some famous multinational chain of retail convenience stores.

It's a lovely build, nice and simple, but with lots of details. I wouldn't immediately connect it to Japan, though. The colors reminded me more of a certain gas station.

@AstroFalcon Thanks, I had fun designing those little details on the outside.

 

@Redhead1982Thank you.

About the setting, yeah a small supermarket/convenience store can be situated  anywhere, I chose Japan for this build as I wanted to make a small Japanese town someday, that's why I placed the Sakura tree and small car in the first picture. 

The colours are based on the 7/11(seven eleven) store chain, which also operates in Japan. Although I chose to use those printed tiles as the store sign.
