Bobsy Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) MMV-style Bakery by bobsy26, on Flickr MMV-style Bakery by bobsy26, on Flickr Okay, need a better name. Oh well. So I actually began this design a long time ago, back when the wonderful DesignByMe service was still available. Back then it was a lot slimmer, only had one half (the shop front) and was open at the back, and sold glassware rather than bread. I was never 100% happy with the design, since I'd painted myself into a corner with difficult arrangements of plates for the two floors. So last week I went back to the project and expanded it to more reasonable proportions to fit with the Medieval Market Village scale of building. I widened the building, added the other half which included the massive oven, and re-did the upper floor to be more for living than work (previously it had been a doctor's room, complete with bonesaw and tanks of strange fluids). MMV-style Bakery by bobsy26, on Flickr Apologies that there's only two rendered images for this - the number of transparent pieces makes this an absolute beast to do in PovRay. I had to give up on a close-up of the oven, because the trans round 1x1 studs were taking way too long. It was too dark to see them anyway.

That grey cooling tray is intended to display a pretzel, but I couldn't find the piece in LDD, sadly. If I make it for real I'll put one there.

-Carson Haupt- Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Looks like it would fit right in! They might wonder about the lime-green people though. Great Moc. I hope you make iT in real bricks! Quote
Bobsy Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 I tend to use lime green crash test dummy minifigs in LDD because the selection of minifig prints is so awful I could never make a genuinely suitable fig to go in there. In fact I use lime green for anything placeholder builds, because it's easy to spot and easy to delete once I'm done. Quote
Wedge09 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Nice work :thumbup: In particularly the bread oven; nice the idea how open the house Quote
Watchman Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Really like it, nice ideas, keep up the good ideas Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Delightful LDD creation 'Bobsy'....it would totally fit in the MMV for sure. Brick On ! Quote
Maxim I Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Awesome bakery!!! It fits perfectly the MMV! And great detailing in the oven and the shelves! Quote
Bobsy Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 *shuffles feet* Despite the long hours of rendering, I've already making alterations. I've altered the oven to contain a light brick, and I'm starting to experiment with adding more decoration to the outside upper floors. It needs something to make it pop, but I've not found out quite what yet. Quote
Blakstone Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 To make it pop, I suggest that you add some red detailing around the bay windows. I also think it needs medieval shop sign so that minifigs walking / riding down the rode know what kind of shop it is. That said, this is a really beautiful set.Like many into Historic Themes, MMV is my absolute favorite official set and this would be the perfect companion. I would definitely support it if you post it to CUUSOO. Quote
streifen Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) the chimney and colours of the building are really good! Now you will need to realise your design in bricks for best effect! Edited January 23, 2013 by streifen Quote

Now you will need to realise your design in bricks for best effect! It is do-able, certainly. I designed this so that all the bricks could potentially be purchased. Still, I'm always reluctant to go on Bricklink - I find the whole process fiddly and am never sure I'm getting the best deal. Quote
kabel Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I'd say that us in the History forum are probably the most traditional builders, as there are very few LDD mocs that really stirr a lot of emotion. So get some bricks and turn your ideas into reality because they are actuall quite good. A little bit of background and sorroundings as well as minifig action would do your stuff more justice! Quote
TheLegoDr Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 This is a great build! It would fit right in. It is similar enough, yet so different. Great job! I almost want to copy this idea and build it myself, although I may try to create my own building. Either way, keep up the great work! Quote
Redhead1982 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 It looks nice. You should definitely go ahead and make it with bricks! Quote
