Cult_Of_Skaro Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I've always wanted to build a realistic LEGO building, so I thought I'd try my hand at recreating the most famous fast food restaurant in the USA! So far I've gotten most of the roof done, but I'll need to order a couple more slopes and tiles... [i Quote
TheBrickPal Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I already love it! I'm one of those odd people that actually likes McDonald's, so just looking at this topic makes me hungry. You have done a great job on the roof; I cannot wait to see the end result! Quote

elleana Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Nice, but this thread needs to have a WIP label.. Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Nice start.....it has the old school late 1970's Macca's feel to it.......Brick On 'Cult_Of_Skaro' ! Quote
Cult_Of_Skaro Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Nice, but this thread needs to have a WIP label.. You're right, sorry about that. Could a mod please rename the thread? Quote
Faron Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Is there gonna be a play park, minifigs love ball-pits! Quote
Galaxy Explorer Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I'm Lovin' It! Great job on that roof- looks like the McDonald's from my childhood. I don't see these versions as much anymore, since the ones around here are incorporated into larger buildings. Will yours have a drive-thru, or are you going for an earlier version? Looking forward to seeing more! Quote

Looking forward to seeing more! Definitely going with the drive thru. All the ones near me have it, so I can't imagine McDonald's without it' Quote
B-Lister Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Not a fan of the company, or the food, though I have eaten it in the past (Not a health snob, I just prefer Wendy's and BK) but the restaurant has become an icon of the American landscape, and you are certainly doing an amazing job of replicating it!

ER0L Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 This looks promising indeed! The roof is very well done. But what I like most is the sheer size of this. A drive thru of that dimension would even fit the full-size cars, I guess. Combined with some surrounding and a parking lot this will be a small city of its own. Looking forward for more to come!

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Nice roof ...I'm waiting for your next step! ;-) Quote
Cult_Of_Skaro Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Is there gonna be a play park, minifigs love ball-pits! Nope, I thought about it, but it would be quite a task, one which I'm not sure I'm ready for. Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Great work so far, can't wait to see the rest, keep up the good work! Quote
trippybrowneyes Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I'm excited about your project. Is it going to have a vintage or present-day interior? All of the older McDonald's around me have gotten "sleek" modern makeovers and it's just not the same! I am totally craving a shamrock shake now. Quote

All of the older McDonald's around me have gotten "sleek" modern makeovers and it's just not the same! I am totally craving a shamrock shake now. Well, that's a bit of a dilemma for me. I really, really want the classic look. That's what I've been to almost all my life. But the classic look is really hard to find around here, so it'll be hard to get photographs. Does anyone know if anyone's taken any good images of the old look? Quote

I've looked for photos in the past and haven't had the best luck. I would try looking up vintage McDonald's commercials on youtube, because a lot of them show people eating at McDonald's, and you'll get to see the interior. Of course this doesn't show the complete picture, but it's something. Quote
Cult_Of_Skaro Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 That's a good idea! I'm sure someone's uploaded such commercials. Quote
Only Sinner Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Yes, this old school McDonald's will be a fine MOC. The Empire will not rest until there is a McDonald's in every single LEGO town all across the entire galaxy. Muwha,Ha,ha! Quote
