MOC Public Library

[snaillad]

Here is a modular MOC 1.5x the size of cafe corner with removable roof and hinged back for access inside. The building is rough 1930's theme but I wanted the 1950's style Ford Thunderbird to complete the "look". It's slightly bigger than I would like, 5 stud wide would have been great but im not used to cars yet :) The pics are Here and more on my flickr Here

Below is a sample, there are plenty more in colour but I do like messing about in black and white

Comments and questions very welcome

Very nice, it looks like it is straight out of a Mafia Game. The different depths of the building really add alot to the design.

Nice work!

Very nice looking 50's style building 'snaillad' - cool 50's B&W photos to match eh ?

Great windows too !

Can't wait to see your next modular creation and I'm a conformist! !

Very cool! Its really captures the 50s feel! Great work!

I like this very much. I agree it has a very 50's feel to it. I looks like it could be an acctual building rather than most the modeular houses. Well done .

Thanks, CB

Brilliant.

If I had a gripe, it would be that gap in the baseplates in Center right, but that's a minor gripe nonetheless.

The old style definitely matches the charm of the official modular sets.

Very interesting creation snaillad! It really has the classic 50s feel to it. I love that brickbuilt clock BTW. Great job on this!

Wow, this is a great building I love the clock face and the use of green window frames And those B&W shots are awesome

Thanks so far for all the comments, Yeah I ran out of grey 1x1 squares for the roofline. I also wish I had some large tan hinges for the back. I hate taking sets apart and the Grand emporium is my least favorite Modular set but the green windows and mass of tan came in very useful so I have a new respect for this set. I always wanted to do a clock on a building, originally it was just a bigger arch than the two either side, it took a little messing about but I am pleased with it! Wish I had done more pics in black and white now!

Cheers

Excellent.

The building is accurate and the car compliments it well. But like you have mentioned the car is a bit too big for my liking too, if it was 5 wide it would be perfect.
