LegoJalex Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) This model was the third place winner in Swebricks LEGO competition "The city we built". Here is (the badly translated) description I had for my model: "Businesses had been bad for Ragge Runarson in the increasingly desolate little town. Because of the current recession, sales had fallen drastically and all of his employees had to quit. It was with mixed feelings that he was standing at the window of the office building and looking out over his lifework. He remembers how he so happily rode to work every morning on his red bicycle. And he remembers the now broken cement mixer which he would use to finish cementing the walkway to the white cottage. Soon, however, there would come a person who was interested in buying the building, so then Ragge could start all over again!"

Zerobricks Posted November 9, 2014 Thats an awesome city block! I like the contrast between mantained and starting-to-fall-apart building. Oh and antenna rocks too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Greeble Posted November 9, 2014 Really nice! Sometimes it can be harder to make a very ramshackle lego building than a very precise, clean one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eurotrash Posted November 9, 2014 Excellent MOC! I love it - plenty of good details and some interesting textures on the facades. I especially like the ramshackle walls to the white cottage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CityBuilder Posted November 12, 2014 The breaking siding on the white building is very cool, the whole thing is well done and looks very run down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
