Itsasecret581 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Hey everyone, been a while since my last post. Recently completed my latest MOC: the Neighborhood Nursery & Surf Shop. Features a mission-style nursery building accompanied by a small surf shop. I was inspired by the printed tile pieces from the fountain garden set and knew I had to use them in a MOC. As someone who loves houseplants, also have been wanting to create a nursery modular for some time. My biggest challenge was having enough unique plant designs as well as how to incorporate such a large open outdoor space that the nursery would need into a modular row without looking too empty. The Surf Shop is also something I've had on my radar for some time, so that became the companion build. The Surf Shop has some of the plants from the nursery out in front of their store as a sign of community support for their fellow local business. A mix of images and renders (some angles were harder to capture) below. Render Built MOC including some minifigs Stained Glass Windows and printed tile detailing Plant Growing on the Wall of the Building View of the exterior portion of the nursery Closeup of the Surf Shop 1st Floor Exterior Surf Shop Interior Plant Store First Floor I've also made a video overview that includes some more angles and interior views.

boformer Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Very nice! I love seeing all the different plants. The white building looks very unique, great use of the printed tiles and door! Quote

Yeah, I knew the tiles and doors would need to be used in a MOC as soon as I saw them. It also took me a while to get all the different kinds of plants to include in here, so that caused some delay in finishing the MOC.

I actually was relatively deep in progress on one but my Studio file got corrupted, which was deflating. Was glad to put this in here as a companion build.

BarBee Posted March 30 Posted March 30 I love this build! I've seen it in my weekly Forum digest, and thanks to someone on this forum I'm slowly finding my way back from the dark ages (part 2). Anyway, as someone who's thinking of doing a sports/surfshop as the next MOC modular, I find your build as a huge inspiration. My favorite details are (in random order): the surf's shop window details (stripes! 🤩) simple, yet pretty and functional interior of the surf's shop stained glass windows and printed tiles of the nursery amazing selection of flowers in the nursery (I didn't know there are so many in brickworld!) tulips 😍 Also, thank you for revealing some of the techniques in the video!
