MOC: St. Times Yellow Grocery

[marcosbessa]

Finally, I had the chance (or the urgency made it) to take some decent photos (with the cellphone though ) of the last of my buildings presented in our this year's event in Portugal - Arte em Peças.

The ground floor is what I like the most! That red Fabuland sign was already "screaming" to be used! :)

This building is actually an upgrade of another much more simple MOC.

You can see more photos and check all the details at flickr, as usuall.

See ya!

What can I say? This MOC is absolutely brilliant. First of, I love the use of Fabuland parts which really stand out from the rest of the building and give it another dimension. The inlay for the entrance is really nice looking and it looks very realistic. The left hand side of the building looks amazing detailed and the clock looks nice. The roof is a lovely addition and I am glad you added it instead of just making a roof out of slopes. The use of those cups looks good.

The technique you used to make the bins at the back is new to me and I might use it in the future. The chimney looks realist with all the different textures. The wooden roof is so fluid and smooth.

All my thanks for sharing this MOC with us. Well Done

Nice MOC, I like the decorations on the front top of the building.

Magnificent job! Just the grocery entrance with that wonderful awning it's a MOC by itself! BRAVO!

[The Player Nº1]

Great MOC.

Nice to see Portuguese people here. I'm in a LUG too.

~An excellent MOC. Your record so far is stellar!

[marcosbessa]

Thank you all! These MOCs that I've been presenting here are not actually new, since I've finished them about one or two months ago for our event, but only now I'm having time to photograph and present them. I hope to never disapoint you who appreciate my work! ;)

Very nice!! I really like all the architectural details.. wish I could build something half as good!!

AWESOME 'marcosbessa' just AWESOME - I really like the awning and the concave shop front - very clever indeed !

That one addition of that red Fabuland sign sells it - beautiful job 'marcosbessa' and I'm a conformist! !

[Fires-storm]

Well done indeed mate. If I could give you a standing ovation for the unveiling of this magnificent creation, I surely would! The detail on the clock tower is simply stunning, and the entrance to the grocery stands out beautifully. Not to mention the entire building has a nice and cheery feel about it Again I say well done, and keep bricking!

Holy humuna! This is amazing! I love the upper detailing, and the awning is great!

[XimenaPaulina]

Another wonderful creation marcosbessa, excellent job indeed! I love the clever use of the 1x1 clip light plates and the 1x1 tooth plates for the decorations. Keep your beautiful creations coming.

Wow, this is really nice. And yellow is my favorite color, which makes me love this building even more I might try to copy some of your techniques for a yellow building of my own some day, if you don't mind

[Alibabo]

I love this house it makes me to build a one like it. I like yellow colour here. Thats hard to build a nice yellow house.

I really like theese ideas.

[WetWired]

nice work! I like the details on the awning, might have to steal the idea :P

I also love those little bins out the back, a ton of detail packed into such a small space.

[marcosbessa]

Thank you, guys!

I actually like very much the yellow color and since I came back from "dark age" I always wanted to use my Beach House bricks in something more like my style... :D Finally I believe I've made something nice with them!

[LuxorV]

Another great MOC from one of the princes of the Town theme

I find these creations very inspiring, especially the use of parts like the decoration around the clock on the tower, and the lovely fringe on the awning, so originally different from the LEGO design we have seen so many times in recent years.

[dr_spock]

Very nice. I like building with yellow too.

[gene2808]

Excellent! I'm now trying my hand on buidling the first modular MOC. Hope to be able to showcase when it is done.

Gorgeous work!!! I didn't think I could like yellow and white as a building color but you bring it perfectly. The addition of the blue/grey awning really helps to add some additional color while not making it look too busy. Great execution of build with two colors that I personal feel are difficult to build with. I always feel that yellow/white ends up conjuring up images of eggs...but you have totally avoided that here!

I also like the white "brick work" on the corners. Again, enough accent to add detail while not looking busy. Great work!
