cimddwc Posted February 17 Posted February 17 (edited) Hi everyone, it's been a while since I last posted new MOCs to Eurobricks, sorry about that. Here's the latest of a bunch that was mostly complete except for interior and, in some cases, rear walls or roofs. » Full Album on Flickr This one is a rare occasion to bring some variation into an otherwise quite rectangular building style… With an angle of 45°, there's always a square root of 2 involved, so it wouldn't fit exactly into the grid, but before I'd clamp a separate middle wall somehow right away, I calculated some variations of width and depth for the wall sections, and indeed there was this one combination where the middle wall is just about 1/750th stud shy of 9 studs - so this is how it ended up, with a somewhat deeper indentation than I had originally in mind. Incorporating 40687 Alien Space Diner GWP in the ground floor, an office, and two apartments. I also tried a full top floor with wedge plates as middle roof, but that didn't look good, and then either the side walls would show behind the narrower little towers, or the interior there would be ridiculously narrow. Here's a look at the modules: A look inside the Space Diner that includes an extra Benny with stars as decoration (and cover for the wall gap): Upstairs we have an office with lots of space for files (and a good way to cover up some gaps in the floor) and two apartments: (Plants are also good for covering up gaps.) Hope you like it... Edited February 17 by cimddwc seems I missed that BBCode doesn't work anymore? Quote
ParmBrick Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Wow! That's an interesting design for a modular, nice one! Quote
Daiman Posted February 17 Posted February 17 I really like the idea of this and please please keep the alien chef and spacemen, I'm a big fan of mixing themes in a lego world diorama. 10 points! Quote
Feuer Zug Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Wicked build. I love the offset design. It really does give it a different look to any other modular. The space cafe is a great touch as well. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Wow, it's been a while since I've seen one of your modular buildings...but the wait was worth it...this building is an architectural miracle! I've never seen such angles in Lego Top notch work! Quote
RenLUG - Central Florida Posted February 21 Posted February 21 The extra Benny is a great solution. This entire build looks sweet. Quote
ReplicaOfLife Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Excellent as always - great to see something new from you again! Quote
bugsbycarlin Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Wow, that's a very good solution for a difficult problem! I love the way you built the alien space diner into the building. Quote
