BuddhaBob74 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Hi everybody! 15 months ago, there were 0 Legos in my house. I was lamenting about winter one day, and my wife suggested I should look into a new creative hobby. Little did she know the monster she was creating! Anyway, after purchasing a couple official sets, I created this historical police station last summer. It is my first MOC! I built it and the surrounding street at the same time. I envisioned it as an old police building with a modern wing. The old building is inspired by a real old police station near Wrigley Field in Chicago, which closed in 2005. The modern half is non-modular and is just a redesign of http://shop.lego.com...ce-Station-7498. The biggest challenge for me was learning how to use LDD, how to translate that into a series of bricklink.com orders, and then how to edit -- fixing impossible builds or nonexistant bricks, re-ordering because I got the wrong stuff, etc. I hope you like it! The rest of the pics can be seen here: Quote
Captain Settle Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Good to hear about you coming into Lego. I like the style of the historical side. Quote

Locomotive Annie Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) An unusual subject for a MOC, but it turned out really well and looks good on your street. Your Police station made me think back to other older period buildings that I've seen with an added modern extension and I must say yours looks better than most. For a time I worked at an hospital that was having its old buildings progressively removed section by section and new modern buildings being built up to replace them. Since the hospital had to keep functioning while this was all going on it made for some odd looking building configurations over the two year period the work was being undertaken.
