Modular Neighborhood

[BlueBard]

Finally, after some weeks of work I'm able to show the final model of my Modular Neighborhood MOC!

First some general views:

And now some street scenes:

Hey! What are you doing there?

A foreman being interviewed (maybe a little dangerous to do that in the middle of the road... )

Recycling! (Love that truck )

At work

A sportive man. Well, we're at the Beijing 20008, aren't we?

Now a large view of the open back:

So great to have a garden in the city!

And now tge interiors:

The apartment in the top of the Coffee Shop, where a scottish Star Wars fan lives (notice the Scout Trooper statue) Looking at him it seems there's something great on TV!

The Coffee shop

With its own bathroom and... oops, sorry man Here's another shot if you want to see it empty.

The interior of Tony's Italian Grocery

Notice the gun under the counter

An important meeting at the boss' bureau

Playing poker while guarding the stairs with the rest of the gang

The rest of the photos can be seen here in my Brickshelf Gallery (when public)

I hope you like the job. Of course, comments are welcome

Whoah, thats really great. I Love the upstairs of the grocery shop. Nice street scenes too

[Erdbeereis]

Great neighborhood Bluebard!

All of the scenes are great. My personal favorite is the grafitti guy, but all of the other are great as well.

As for the buildings, they all look amazing with great details and nice design. I like how you did the cafe sign, it reminds me a lot of Cafe Corner.

Again, wonderful work!

Thanks for yout nice comments!

I think it's pretty obvious I've borrowed from it, but thanks anyway

[BlueBard]

BTW, I was planning to do a little Lego comic about Maffia using this neighborhood and the characters appearing there. I've seen there's no many Comics in this sub-forum so do you people think this idea could be interesting?

Thanks for your advice!

Nice MOC, But...

An important meeting at the boss' bureau

Is that guy trying to bribe his boss into getting a promotion, or is there some other reason that girl ain't wearing a shirt?

[BillytheKid]

Looks goods and love the text under the photo's. Great job .

[Minifig Lecturer]

This is fantastic BlueBard.

The graffitti technique is super cool. Kids feet too, smart. Bravo!

That is so cool I really like the details the TV set with the rabbit ears, What a cool layout.

A comic would be awesome!

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the nice comments!

Actually it's not even a girl But you're right, it really looks like the guy with the hat it's tryin' to get a good promotion LOL (I'll try to have another shot from this scene for show you the real intention of the thing

[BlueBard]

Here's a little "explanation" of the scene

I think I'm going to dismantle Tony's to re-build it in a completely different way (more detailed but smaller... ) and I'll try to begin the comic about maffia. I've noticed MOC vehicles are appreciated in this forum so I'm also going to post a gallery of the vehicles used here

[samthelegoman1]

I like the mafia hangout! You should add a shooting gallery in there!

[Guss]

nicely done and full of Details, I love the Italian grocery ^^

A sportive man. Well, we're at the Beijing 20008, aren't we?

Well no, I think we´ll have to wait a little longer for that...

Great work, but I suggest that you build a backside and interior on the houses.

Best regards
