lightningtiger Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Here's another W-I-P for all you to look at......a motorcycle dealership. More photos comming when I have done more work on the interior and workshop roof. I'm planning to sticker this in Honda signage. Comments welcome and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Kurucz96 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 just one word: WOW This is the most awesome motorcycle shop I ever seen Just don't forget: Keep on brickin' Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 Well thank you 'Kurucz96' for your kind words there. Tomorrow I'll be working on the helmet and clothing display as well as some more tiling on the floors. I'm a conformist! ! Quote

The Yellow Brick Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Looks great already, I'm really looking forward to seeing how it progresses Quote
jonwil Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Nice bike shop, do you have enough motorbikes to put into it? Quote
gotoAndLego Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Nice bike shop, do you have enough motorbikes to put into it? Heh, I was thinking about doing a modular one with brick-built bikes, but then I got sidetracked with my Crimson Permanent Assurance. To be realistic your shop should have: Clothing and accessories Space for bikes Parts counter An office or two Coffee maker Lounge Space out front for bikes for sale and customers who are hanging out Service space Storage space where newly arrived crated bikes are kept. Some display bikes which aren't for sale. Preferably vintage. Edited September 20, 2010 by gotoAndLego Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 Thanks for comments, replies and suggestions 'gotoAndLego', 'jonwil' and 'The Red Brick' ! Now there will riding wear an helmets like I said, the building isn't going to be any bigger except for a 8x16 base plate tiled of course in front of the two windows for more bikes to go show including a quad-bike you have seen before months ago (it has a new home)! I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Legostein Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Hello! The big trophy cup as shop sign is a really good idea and finally an appropriate use for this oversized piece. Nice! Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 Hello! The big trophy cup as shop sign is a really good idea and finally an appropriate use for this oversized piece. Nice! Cheers, ~ Christopher Thanks Christopher for your comments, I'm using the parts from a WR set so you can guess about the helmets and the rest eh ? I'm a conformist! ! Quote
prateek Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Nice job as usual! I like the trophy used as a sign! I would suggest adding red flags to the roof, to add a bit more colour Quote
jonwil Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 If you have one, I would suggest the bike from the Indiana Jones Cemetary Battle as a display piece (I have no idea if Honda ever made bikes like that though) Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 Thanks 'prateek', 'ACCURATEin' and again 'jonwil' for your kind words. I currently working on as I write this, sticker will go around the light bluey grey bricks at the top of showroom walls and I have a name for my Honda dealership.....'Champion Motors' hence the trophy ! Posting fresh pictures later on today so keep an eye out and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Lookin' good! The exteriors already looks like a final product, I love the grey color scheme and the trophy details gives a nice touch to the shop. Very nicely done lightningtiger! Can't wait to see the interior photos (I hope to see a lot of motorcycles in there ). Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 Thanks 'KielDaMan' for your kind comments. I'll try to have lots of motorcycles in this MOC if I can scratch them up ! The roof section over the workshop is nearly finish so I can then start on the clothing/helmet display. I'm a conformist! ! Quote

I hope to see various types of motorcycles, like the classic ones together with the newer ones? Do you have those? Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 Well apart from the lime green plus I do have a grey trail bike, there are just the black road bikes. Sadly I haven't that IJ set with the COOL Indian/HD motorcycle in it ! I'll have a look to see if I can find anymore. I'm a conformist! ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 Since I have had a huge response to this creation so far.....now more photos.... I still must finish the floor behind the counter, plus start on that jacket/pants/helmet wall display. Updating real soon - comments welcome and I'm a conformist! everyone ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 More pictures, I worked out a way to display everything in such a small area without making look crap (hope it looks okay to all of you). Only some stickering to be done in the showroom area, then the workshop can also be completed, etc.,. Comments welcome and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
MetroiD Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Nice MOC tiger, I've been planning to build a bike dealership with an adjacent biker wear store and a bikers cafe myself, but I still haven't gotten around to that. Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 Thanks for those kind words 'MetroiD', again thanks to all who have commented so far. This MOC was a spur of a moment thing, where I promised a toy shop when I came back from visiting Target near by I would buy something.....it ended up being the cheapest of the World Racer sets with the two bikes. Hence Champion Motors was born, New Mannum's Honda Dealer. More work will be done tomorrow, plus I will start the stickering process. I'm a conformist! everyone ! Quote
Fires-storm Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Well done, this is looking brilliant so far! The shape, the detail, everything is perfect. Also the displays inside look amazing as always Good job mate, definitely keep bricking Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 Thanks for the kind comments 'Fires-storm' ! This is only the being of a series of MOC's all linked as Champion Motors, this is the first and the rest......well you'll just have to wait and see eh ? I'm a conformist! ! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Getting better and better by the day lightningtiger! I like the details of the interiors, especially the biker outfit clothes rack - very cleverly done. Quote
