MOC The Owl Bank

[hugosantos]

Hello everyone!

Here it is a MOC that I've presented for the 5th Anniversary Contest of my LUG Comunidade 0937!

This is the "The Owl Bank" a bank full of successes since 1929!

Its architecture shines through various past influences and their ornamentation with luxurious materials made ​​great fury at that time. The big attraction of the building was the revolving door, very unusual at the time!

Today is one of the most respected banks in the city of Metropolis and continues to be the location chosen by the biggest millionaires to save their fortunes. Situated on the main avenue of the city, in its old town, has a privileged place given its founding date.

Excellent looking classical structure (the windows look high enough for the bank manager and fellow stock brokers to jump though those windows when the stock market crashed ), very nice entrance plus interesting use of black window frames it offsets the white frontage nicely.

Is there an interior 'hugosantos' ?

In any case, great work and Brick On !

Hi there lightningtiger, thanks for your comment.

Actually the windows frames are Reddish Brown but I didn't build any interiors, I might do that someday, but it isn't on my plans at the moment.

Very nice modular! It's clear what the source material is, but it is very much your own creation.

Thanks for your comments.

For now the building just look modular style because it was assembled for expositions in a city layout.

Amazing details. Great building.

This looks like a nice fusion of the DA bank and the GE. The detailing is great.

(However, the sidewalk is a bit of a dull disappointment.) Aside from that, super work! Any shots of the interior or other angles of the bank?

Hi, you can see photos of other angles in my flickr following the link pointed in the MOC presentation. I've liked the sidewalk but with more time who know's if I don't do something with detail.

It's like Gringott's (10217) but much better and BIGGER! This could easily pass as a LEGO set, and I would for sure buy it. Awesome detailing and I love the style of the building!

The contrast between the white and gold give this MOC a very classic look!

The design is very good also, making it a very impressive bank that anyone would like to have in his town.

Parabéns Hugo
