thomassio Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Hi there! Here's my latest Moc. It is my first modular building that is actually modular, and it was built for the Modular Moc Madness contest at Lowlug. More pictures of the interior you can find in the flickr links. P2020110 by Utanapishtim, on Flickr The facade was inspired by a building in Amsterdam. I used this picture. The back: P2020128 by Utanapishtim, on Flickr Thanks for looking!

MKJoshA Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I really like your conical roof and the chairs in the back. There's a lot of detail here and it looks good. Quote
ScotNick Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Nice facade, I really like the grey minifigs and the tower( especially the roof section). It's also nice to see a very detailed back, e.g. balconies on different levels. Brick on thomassio Quote
Roger_Smith Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Great building, nice interior details, too (I was about to asked, but then I clicked one of the flicks links and found the other pictures) :) Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Very nice modular indeed 'thomassio', I can see a little inspiration from the green grocer coming though......though this is much bigger ! I really do like it.........Brick On 'thomassio' ! Quote
KringlesBricks Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I especially like the color scheme of the building, and the little details you packed into each aspect of the building. Great job for being your first modular MOC! Quote
neonic Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Looks great, like the details on the roof, and ... pickaxes in the wall? Looking good, nice idea. Nice flowers and plants too. It's a great bookstore, it has even bbq in the backyard Quote
Redhead1982 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Great work! I like the facade detailing, there are lots of interesting details to try out. Well done. Quote
cimddwc Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Really a great building with lots of nice details! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Very nice modular! It has a very lovely exterior Quote
elleana Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Very nice! Is the midle grey minifig being ever so slightly off kilter intentional? Quote
eurotrash Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Impressive! Great colour-combination and a good use of textures on the facade. Thanks for sharing it with us. Quote
Andy D Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Very nice! I really like the interesting design and part selection. The ivy in back is a nice touch. The front of the building is very well done and the detailing on the back is totaly unexpected. Even the illusive seagull. ;) ;) Andy D Quote
mkeller234 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Very nice! I love the way you created the brick arch look in the rear windows. It really sets off from the other textures and looks great. Quote
sin Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) This is beautifully detailed! Very creative use of pieces for all of the windows, a good variety of construction techniques and some things that I have not seen before. I love the front streetside posts, really reminds me of places that I have spent a lot of time at in France. Love you back alley detailing too, also the front balconies and flowerpots. Seriously nice work! Edited February 7, 2014 by sin Quote
kevin8 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 You made a great work. I think the arches in the facade are very inspiring, and the rear side should be seen as the front. Quote
antp Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I like how you did the window arches, both front & back Quote
thomassio Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Thank you all for the compliments. Very nice modular indeed 'thomassio', I can see a little inspiration from the green grocer coming though......though this is much bigger ! I understand what you mean, but the only inspiration for this Moc was this. Looks great, like the details on the roof, and ... pickaxes in the wall? yes indeed. It's a great bookstore, it has even bbq in the backyard The bbq has a little story: I built it years ago and then totally forgot about it. When I was finishing this building, I had also started cleaning my room and found the bbq back behind my desk. Very nice! Is the midle grey minifig being ever so slightly off kilter intentional? No, and I am really frustraded because of it. Edited February 8, 2014 by thomassio Quote
greg3 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 That looks great... Despite the wonky statue! I especially like the rear of the building and the clever use of parts (ie pickaxes and daggers!) to add interesting details.... Excellent work! Quote
Doom2099 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Very nice work! The use of grey on the front sets the tone nicely, and the minifigs in the wall are great! Thanks for sharing. Quote
gavralcraw Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Wow. This is lovely. Love the arches and the use of um the brick bricks. You know Dark Tan ones. And that spire is great... Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 What a beauty! I like the old architecture of this building! The SNOT windows are a true masterpiece! Quote
Man with a hat Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Nice building. What a variety of window techniques. The roof looks a bit busy though. But brilliant use of the pick-axe for the rear wall. Quote
