The Dutch Guy Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) I would like to re-introduce you to my Modular version of 7641 City Corner, as Modular Buildings. I have made some new Foto'sand can give you a look on how they fit into my town. Some time ago i saw the new modular sets from Lego and i was completely hooked. My first was the GG and was abel to get the CC at a resonable price. FB folowed and GE. Pet Show is not yet mine, but will be soon. I realy love this street. After some time i discovered this forum en saw the MOC's you are Building and since i have a lot of old Lego, i decided to build some of those too. It was fun to see these buildings grow. I didn't have all parts, but Bricklink is supplying me on a monthly basis. Now i wanted to make an MOC of my own. I already had 7641 City Corner en decided to take this as a starter. The result of my firt effort can be seen on Brickshelf. I had to make a link, because i jused the wrong extension for my pictures en was not able to post them in this topic. I wil try to work on this the next time (praktice makes perfect). Here are both buildings. They will be placed in the middle of J.Berard Avenue, between a Bown Pub and the Yellow Flower Shop (a Marcos Bessa Model) The back looks like this The first building is the Pizza Restaurant. All four parts The first floor is the Pizza backery, Also take-away. You can see the oven and the ingredients on display. You can choose your own ingredients. They also sell Icecream. The second floor is the restaurant. Wining and dining in a romantic ambiance. The third floor is the office. (no interior yet) The Roof part with the dish for satalite television. Mext door is a bicicle repairshop and Scate shop. Fjalar (my grandson) got a new board. His little brother Taavi is trying to get his mother (my daughter) to give hime one too, but he is to young. The back of the building All four parts Ground flour, the shop. A bicicle under repair and underneath the stairs there is a small office. The second floor is a apartment, the owner is a Roadstar Lover and has one himself (to be included in Bricksterdam) In the attic is the bedroom Here is how they look in the J.Berard Avenue I will give you an compleet look of my town when i update my topic within the next few days Edited October 12, 2012 by The Dutch Guy Quote
LegoSjaak Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Hi Dutch Guy (i'm Dutch as well...) I took a look at your brickshelf pictures. I must say i like that yellow building the most.. it looks nice and the proportions are really good!!! Hope to see more MOC's from you in the near future.....! Greetz, LegoSjaak Quote
Vindicare Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Those are some very impressive builds(the full street shot). Quote
alois Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I've seen other CC-corner style versions of this set, but they were more like this set with a wall on the backside and pins on the side. You tried harder and succeeded better in capturing the specific cc-corner style, with lots of alterations of the facades. Very well done! Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Very nice modulars 'The Dutch Guy', I prefer the pizza bar over the bike shop though.....neat pizza oven and that ceiling decor on the dinning floor ! Brick On 'The Dutch Guy'......perhaps you could try the same trick on older classic town sets ? Quote
The Dutch Guy Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) I have put pictures of the yellow house in my street also on Brickshelf. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=486515 This one is not one of my own design. It was my first attempt to create a house that not came out of a Lego Box. I had seen pictures of it on Flikr en tried to copy it. I did learn a lot by doing so. The model was a Green Grocer, but i already had the official GG, so i made it into a flowershop. The Front of the building i left almost unchanged, but the back i redeveloped into something my own. The first floor interior is my own creation. Have fun looking at these foto's and please stay creative and sharing your creations with us. You may inspire someone like me to be creative too. Brick on. P.S. The Corner building, my Candy Store, is a creation of Jasper Joppe Geers. In a future addition i wil show pictures of it and the small changes i made to this excelent creation. Thanks Jasper, you have been realy an inspiration. Edited January 12, 2012 by The Dutch Guy Quote
