The Next Build for me...

[WideWiiLover]

So....It's time to do a new MOC.

I have been wanting to do a MOC Fast Food Restaurant with Drive Thru for sometime, but didn't have the right model to go for....But alas i have my inspiration...

Costa Coffee is a brand of Coffee Shops located all over Britain. They are the largest and most favored coffee chain in the UK, beating out Starbucks...which in my opinion is great in the USA and Canada, but sucks here in the UK.

Here are some elevations that I have "borrowed" via Google Images.

Any suggestions for the roofing? I am toying between using either plates, or using 1in3 slope bricks.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Interesting building shape you wish to recreate in Lego 'WideWiiLover', with it have an interior ?

Is it going to be open backed or closed in like a modular ?

Answer those two questions will tell you what kind of roof you need.....though using tiles fixed to some 2x1 hinge pieces will allow the moulding the shape just right possible.

I'm intrigued how you will do this.

There are others better qualified, but here is my first thought: macaroni bricks, hinge plates or bricks, with the roof built out of bricks sideways (i.e. from left edge of roof to right edge of roof).

Thanks for your input Lightningtiger!

It's going to be closed in like a modular. If i am going to have the Drive Thru element, it'l will need to be really to get the best out of it.

And YES! Lego should always have an interior......always....i sometimes wish LEGO would learn that we like it when buildings have interiors...it add's more play-a-bility.

That might just work, though i'll need to get some off of PAB or Bricklink...as i only have 3 in red....I'm gonna try and get some pictures of the one near me, so you can get a clearer look, as the elevations are quite hard to see....
