mikey Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Inspired by the Winter Village Bakery Set I decided to make my own version, but without any of the winter festivities: The front as an angry lady leaves, and a beggar sits waiting to earn enough to eat for the day... The side and back of the building. You can buy any type of bread here, as long as you ask for croissants. The bakers cat always knows the warmest place! Quote
Ye Olde Pirate Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Inspired by the Winter Village Bakery Set I decided to make my own version, but without any of the winter festivities: Great job! This SNOT floor effect is awesome! The cat on top of the oven is great...my own cats always manage to seek out the warmest place in the house.

RoryoCox Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Very nice. The interior is lovely and I love the oven. The whole thing looks good, Well Done Quote
Leo-J Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Lots of details in a compact building! Clean, smooth build! Quote
Admiral Ron Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Very nice! I love the SNOT and the overall smoothness of the design. Perhaps add some baguettes to bake? Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 That Dark Blue roof is great! Nice interior too. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Nice idea to make a (croissant) bakery. I've made one as well: I like your oven more and the whole building is not as cramped as mine. And your 'knife holder' is simple but very clever. Good job Quote
I Scream Clone Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Lovely work, I particularly like the half stud offset of the roof. Great job. Quote
Skalldyr Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Amazing job on the knife block!!! That is really inspiring... Quote
charlieboy Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I may have to build something like this soon,will go nicely with the mmv im getting this coming weekend.Great build fella! Have to ask why the lady leaving is angry however,if i could find a croissant as big as that i'd be made up Quote
mikey Posted October 25, 2010 Author Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Thanks for all the positive comments, they are all appreciated! Very nice! I love the SNOT and the overall smoothness of the design. Perhaps add some baguettes to bake? I had originally planned to get some of the baguette pieces to use for this, until I found out how much they were on BrickLink! Hopefully they will soon start to be more plentiful as they are now back in two current sets. ... And your 'knife holder' is simple but very clever. Good job Amazing job on the knife block!!! That is really inspiring... The knife block was not my idea, I think I saw it in a .pdf of furniture ideas from Classic Castle. I totally agree that it is just a brilliant, simple and effective design. I may have to build something like this soon,will go nicely with the mmv im getting this coming weekend.Great build fella! Have to ask why the lady leaving is angry however,if i could find a croissant as big as that i'd be made up You are sure to have great fun with that, it is truly a wonderful set, the best money you have ever spent on Lego! As for the angry lady, I just love that facial expression! Edited October 25, 2010 by mikey Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 AWESOME creation you have made there 'mikey', the interior totally rocks, the oven, knife block, etc,. just fantastic. Great work and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Mrlegoninja Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 The interior is great! And the roof is just ! Great work! Quote
Commander Laquiet Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 This is really nicely done. The navy blue of the roof seems to work perfectly with the brickwork, and the ivy/plants growing up the far wall add to the MOC greatly. Great job! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 I simply love how this bakery looks so clean and nicely-built, far different from other decorated medieval MOCs I've seen but it still looks very beautiful in its simplicity. The interior details are just great! Fantastic work mikey! Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 Looks great to me! Perhaps the tile work on the floor is a bit too 'clean' for the middle ages. Some other colours would be rather nice. The roof is great and you've paid attention to the details, which is always good. The cat on the bread oven made me me laugh; it's just like he is ready to be baked into a cake as well. Quote

Yeah, the floor does look a bit to clean, I did try mixing in some 1x1 studs but they looked a bit out of place. Maybe I should get some more Dark Bley tiles, and use them randomly to break up the colour of the floor a bit. And of course, no cats were harmed during the making of this MOC! Quote

Some reddish brown or white 1x1 tiles would work well among the grey and dark bley. Have a try, it will turn out being awesome for sure! Quote
mikey Posted October 27, 2010 Author Posted October 27, 2010 I hadn't even considered using other colours, because I was representing stone I thought only the Bley's would fit. But I will definitely give some other colours a try next time (this has now died and is all nicely sorted!), I am thinking about a poor peasant house next and I really want a decayed and ruined feeling to it. cheers!

Captain Blackmoor Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Good luck with your upcoming MOCs then, I'm looking forward to see them! Cheers as well! Quote
Hartfan Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Nicely done. Love the details. Keep up good work ! Quote
Titan Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 This is beautiful work. Not too cluttered, just the right amount of details. Good job! Quote
