alois Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) I wanted to have another building in my town, to form the counterpart of my café 'the corner'. So it had to be a corner building, and I wanted it to be in Dutch neo-renaissance style. To achieve the corner look, I did something of which Pythagoras wouldn't approve, but Lego is tolerating enough for it. Now I had to find an occupation for the building, and since it will be located in front of the station it became a barbershop, with interior (a little bit outdated, but I haven't been to a barbershop since 1997 myself . Our friend Hendrik-Jan is finally forced by his wife to get his long hair cut. Inside the old barber puts him on a chair and in no time he's presentable again. Actually, he's glad his wife made him go... More can be found here. Edited October 2, 2013 by alois Quote
ManInATopHat Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Very nice building! Beautiful architectural style, design, and detail! Quote
CardinalBricks Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Very cool! Lots of nice building techniques. Love the style of the building too! If Lego released this as a modular build, I would buy it in a heartbeat Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Fantastic designing there 'alois'......but it's those scissors that are AWESOME ! Brick On 'alois' ! Quote
eurotrash Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I did something of which Pythagoras wouldn't approve. If Pythagoras had had access to Lego I think the world could be very different! As for the MOC. It's really well executed and it looks like a Barbershop from street level with the scissors and the red/white spiral sign. I'm digging the facade - very Dutch with those cheese slope patterns and until I checked your flickr account I didn't realize it even had a garage with car. But the interior is what makes this special. Are you sure you haven't been in one since '97? If so, you must have a damn good memory - it just looks so right; the seats, the mirrors on the wall, the lino flooring...... it just needs a guy with a broom to sweep up the clippings and you can almost smell the Brylcreem!

KringlesBricks Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Those scissors are awesome! Very nice build.. Quote
Hobbythom Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Really nice build! The scissors are a great idea. Could show a better picture of the chairs? I am really curious about those. Quote
timmyc1983 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I really like the exterior, the colours go well and there's a nice amount of detail, particularly the cheese slopes, great touch!! And those scissors are something else!! Amazing work I do think the guy was better with long hair tho, I like long hair Happy building Quote
Kristel Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 This is great! I love the cheese slope trims under the windows and those scissors are just awesome! Quote
kermit Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Very nice. I like the tan and brown colours against the red roof. I always thought that the barber's pole is usually on the side walk or in the window. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Nice modular building and amazing idea! I like the new hair style of the guy! Quote
Kivi Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Very nicely done, and yes, the scissors are definitely the best part of this moc. Both those representing the shop sign and those that the barber holds in the hand. Quote
Bricksan Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I like the interior more that outside. Too much reddish brown, although like the design as different to what I've seen previously. Quote
Vincent Kessels Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 That's a great corner building, Alois. I really like the the decorations with cheese slopes. Quote
