lightningtiger Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Like I said, I'm going on with it and did someone say paint before..... Now some W-I-P of the exterior of the whole structure. Okay, now for the good oil..... More still to come....so comments are still welcome and keep on watching ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Update, still more parts I need to get you can see..... Comments welcome still. Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Outside is nearly finished, comments welcome ! Quote
L-space Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I must ask the question, doesn't anyone like this W-I-P ? If I don't like something, I don't reply. You do the math on this one... Just keep 'm coming. I love to see progress shots on a build. Your sheer enthousiasm is great to see as well. Quote

Yep, math.....1 + 1 = 4.5768879 Thank you for your kind comments 'L-space', I still have to finish in the interior of the workshop area, I have had to fore go the drafting suite and include more machinery and equipment. Keep those comments comming and keep on watching tomorrow ! Edited June 23, 2011 by lightningtiger Quote
jonwil Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I like all the machines you have built for this thing. Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 I like all the machines you have built for this thing. Thanks 'jonwil', I have just finished a cut-off saw on a bench for cutting metal tubing and soild thin pieces of metal to be welded. Posting that tomorrow. Keep on watching ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Just spent an hour on LDD designing a toilet to fit behind that sign-written section of the front wall of the workshop area....that also will be built tomorrow and posted. Looking at designs for pubs and cold stores (somewhere to store apples and carrots for pick up).....suggestions and comments welcome as always ! Quote
Toadtorrent Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Love the paint colour blender thing and girly calendar. Classic. You gotta have a coffee machine in there though. Quote

Thank you 'Toadtorrent' for your kind words, actually I might just make an old fashioned electric urn on a trolley so then it can be positioned anyway in the workshop. Keep on watching because I still might have more surprises instore for everyone ! Quote
LegoCityMann Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Like I said, I'm going on with it and did someone say paint before..... Might suggest that instead of all white 1x1 rounds on the paint spinner rack, different colored 1x1 rounds. 1. It shows the different colors to mix. 2. It will break up the white/tan appearance of that entire area of the MOC. ~LCM Quote

Keep those comments comming everyone......gee, I think that is the first paint tint equipment ever in Lego....I might be wrong though. Quote
Churchill Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Well I'm a little bit late to the feedback, and AussieJimbo beat me too it, but I love the rack for the shovels. That's brilliant. Now if I could just do that in my real life sized shed... Great work on this one, lightning tiger. Quote

Thanks 'Churchill' for your comments, keep watching like I said for more surprises and for your shed in reallife....Lego is real life is one word - Ikea ! Brick On everyone ! Quote
LegoCityMann Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Here's what I did following your example. The final won't be orange though. LoL ~LCM Quote
Churchill Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Lego is real life is one word - Ikea That's funny. I haven't been there in a long time. Maybe it's time to go back. Wouldn't if be funny if someday maybe I'll sent you pictures of shed and garage ideas that I got from your workshop? I don't think my wife would let me hang that calender. Speaking of which, wouldn't it be funny to have a real sized calender like that but with minifigs?! Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Here's what I did following your example. The final won't be orange though. LoL ~LCM Not bad 'LCM', don't forget the filler tubes - but remember yours is purely Lego City style of build and mine is realistic so many of my designs might look basic, that's because in real life....well they are ! Can't wait to see that in my name sake hardware store.....I bless it ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 Update time..... Spot the changes and differences, also the new things like oh say, the electric urn for hot water - tea, coffee or Bonox !? Still more to come...comments very welcome and keep on watching ! Quote
LegoCityMann Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Wheres the Icebox to store the Vegimite in? Looks great. I am really enjoying seeing the machinery come together. Brick On! ~LCM Edited June 24, 2011 by LegoCityMann Quote

Brick On! ~LCM Thanks for the comments 'LCM', well, that's in the interior all done....I only need to finish the exterior parts and make some custom figures to work the shop floor. By the way, who keeps Vegimite in the fridge, I don't and never have....my mother-in-law does if she has a jar of the greatest sandwich spread in the world ! Keep on commenting and watching ! Quote
AussieJimbo Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I've been busy with my own bricking the last few days but that just makes the next look at this MOC all the better. It's looking great with all the new stuff. Paint thing is cool as are all of the odds and ends that have appeared in the workshop. :classic: Quote
TanTile Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 this looks fantastic LT!! I'm picturing the black plates as rubber mats so the poor workers dont go home with sore feet nice touch! love the drop saw and metal press very nicely done Vegimite in the fridge? never!!! specking of Ice box... thats one thing i always see and use when going to my farm on weekends always need a few bags of ice to keep me tinnies cold maybe one of these out side one of your store? Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 Another update, but I need to hear what people like.....I have added a black roof section just over the roller door part....comments....good or bad.....like it.....hate it.....please tell this poor old tiger eh ? Oh, besides thanks 'AJ' and 'Tan Tile' for your kind words, etc,. and I made an ice box back in 2009 - one of my first service stations - a heavily modified 7993 Octan ! Keep on watching, keep on commenting.....always Brick On ! Quote
AussieJimbo Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Hey LT, the little roof section might look better in white but I'm not sure it's really in keeping with the rest of the building. I can see what you have in mind though, many workshops have nice big skylights to ensure plenty of light for the mechanics to work with. I'm still trying to come up with a roof that works for my tyre place. Your models don't really need roofing, you want to see all those nice interior details. :classic: Edited June 24, 2011 by AussieJimbo Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 I think you are right 'AJ', that's why I asked......I might be removing that section of black tomorrow morning and post some more fresh pictures. Any other suggestions are quite welcome....keep on watching ! Quote
