Thanks 'Captain Becker', 'Commodore Hornbricker', 'Lord Arjay', 'awesomebrick' and 'wooootles' for your very kind comments.

As I said above in a previous post - I'll be able to remove the roof and add another storey if I can afford it - yep, it's down to money - so this could a long term W.I.P. and like the picture 'Lord Arjay' found that upper storey was an add-on later in the buildings life as it appears.

Today, flooring to be finished and start on the rear walls and good old back door - I'm a conformist! everyone !

[lightningtiger]

Busy again !

Still need some 2x1 brown tiles though, also decide on the kind of roof to have.

Comments welcome and I'm a conformist! !

[Lord Arjay]

Looks great lightningtiger. I love these progresss shots.

I like that black line you've added running through it at the top and bottom. Nice touch.

I eagerly await the final creation.

[lightningtiger]

Thanks 'Lord Arjay' for your kind comments, glad you like the black trim.

I have to find those tiles and start on that roof among the back of the store.

UPDATE TIME !

Now before you all say it - I have run out of tan bricks - well I might have some hiding but yeah so that's the main reason why - oh and some black parts as well - must go looking for them !

Comments welcome and I'm a conformist! !

[Lord Arjay]

Great! I was starting to get worried that you wouldn't be able to feed my addiction any more.

For some reason they haven't opened a rehab center for lightningtiger-itus.

On your progress now. I like it, cannot wait to see it complete!

The brown drawers are very well done. Good idea to use those simple pieces to make something so realistic.

[lightningtiger]

Thanks for your comments 'Calvin' and 'Lord Arjay' - breathe easy 'Lord Arjay' I'll be doing more work on this tomorrow afternoon (SA time) and dont forget I'll be stickering the frontage so that big bare tan section won't be bare anymore !

I too am quite happy with the brown screws/hinges drawers, more pictures within two days.

Welcome to the modular side!

Very well done for being your first of this style.

[lightningtiger]

Thanks for the kind welcomming to the modular world there 'ACCURATEin' - always nice to hear from you.

I have to find enough tan to finsh the rear wall and also find a back door, plus secure the downpipe at the top of the guttering, that all should be done today. I'm a conformist! everyone !

[lightningtiger]

IT IS DONE !

Just missing a grey spade and good old brown broom to hang off the back wall outside.

So here it is............

MAC'S HARDWARE

The view from above looking down, Mac is looking for something in the drawers.

Comments welcome and I'm a conformist! !

[Lord Arjay]

YAYYYYY!

It's finished and I must say it looks great!

I've run out of praise for this model so just look up all of my other comments.

Very well done!

[Commodore Hornbricker]

It turned out great. You did a nice job documenting the build for us. Thanks.

[lightningtiger]

Thank you 'Lord Arjay' and 'Commodore Hornbricker' for your very kind words - I'm glad people like the building, I'm not sure when I'll be doing the next one - maybe later this year I might do a bank (an inbetween size between GG and good old Mac's) - I'm a conformist! !

Great job on the interior! The outside looks great too. The black looks weird in the picture, but it is probably great in real life. If you plan to add this to any other modular buildings, you may have a problem. You're missing the 1x2 bricks with holes that allow the sets to connect. If you were planning on this, you may need to take the walls apart! Wonderful MOC, I really like all of your ideas in this.

[lightningtiger]

Thanks for the kind comments 't20a1h5u23' - sadly those tech bricks can not be used here, to get the shape of the building I have had to raise all the walls by 1 plate height and offset back a half stud too.

I have sat this next to my GG and it looks good, might take a picture of them togehter once I replace missing pieces from my GG.

In the flesh so to speak it looks like buildings that would have around a hundred years ago.

Anyway thanks again and I'm a conformist! !
