(MOC)-Villa Battisti

[kevin8]

Hi, to everyone!

This is the second time I show you one of my MOC. Actually the Tie Fighters where not totally mine as explained in this post http://www.eurobrick...entry1687262...

By the way, what I'm showing today is my first attempt to make a MOC after the dark age...

It represents a northern-style house that were built in the 10th of the XX century in my town. As you will see it is a very strange building while put in an environment like ours in Italy.

I built it during many years (2006-2009), brick by brick, attempting to catch the essential of the real one. It has been very difficult, in fact I built and destroyed it 3 times before getting a satisfactory one...

In some details, like the wooden frame of the roof, I'm still far away... :/

I hope Lego will produce more bar-like parts in black...

It has been completed with a garden and a front sidewalk during 2010, while I put some minor inner detail later.

It can be fitted along with standard modular houses. As you can see from my gallery it can be opened and is fully furnished.

Meanwhile here is it.

[kevin8]

Thank you!

Great job for a first attempt. It lools like a pro built it. I reminds me of those old colonial houses.

[kevin8]

Thank you. It's actually about 90 years old.

I's a very unlucky building. It has been uninhabited for 10-15 years. Some years ago it were bought and restored, but the owners went bankruptcy and now it is uninhabited again... :(

When under working I found that the original color was red, so I spent a lot for tan parts, while I could built in a more common color... :D

It looks very close to the original source building AND it has a superb interior AND it opens up. I love it!

[Overcold]

This looks amazing! I love all of the little details, both the interrior and exterrior are superb and add so much quality to the overall design.

[kevin8]

Thanks to everyone!

Next days I will show you other things... modular houses exactly...

I always make furnitures in my MOCs...

[Asper]

Wonderful house! You put a lot of attention to details. The interior is beautiful!

[EliteSkyhopper]

Yeah it's just wonderful. I love the stairs and the children's room

I never liked this Flickr's presentation. Lots of detail is lost during the presentation. However, I checked your Flickr folder, and was impressed with the building, both the exterior and interior. After comparing it to the original building, it really looks fine, and it's even better in tan than red. The roof detailing is a nice addition. The landscape, with different flower designs gives a lot of life to the house, as it's owners clearly take a good care of the garden. On the inside, the furnished rooms look great as well. I even saw a fridge of an interesting design - haven's seen bricks like that before. And the small bathroom was very cleverly built. Well done and thanks for sharing.

[kevin8]

Thanks.

Great review, thank you!

The fridge comes from an old Fabuland set. It's a bit rare part...
