snaillad Posted March 12, 2016 Hello fellow Eurobricks members, I've been working on my latest MOC the last few weeks - 'Visit the RIVIERA'. A MOC based around a marina with a southern European influence. There is a small wedding shop, a bell tower, and restaurant on the ground floor with tables outside around the marina where fishermen bring in their catches. A previous European styled MOC - Piazza Maria had bright colour combinations and perfect smooth rendering on the buildings so this was an excuse for me to try my hand at something that looked a little more weathered! Anyway on with the pics, 6 in total: You can also view them on flickr here: https://www.flickr.c...s/52656812@N04/ Any comments/feedback welcomed! Cheers!

tkatt Posted March 12, 2016 There are so many great details in this build, I had to comment so I'd have an easy way to come back and look at it again. Thanks for sharing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rinji Posted March 12, 2016 Absolutely amazing! I think you have managed to catch the atmosphere perfectly. I want to visit this town! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OmgItsNitro Posted March 12, 2016 Absolutely stunning, reminds me of capri more than venice for some reason. Probably the scooter! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legogal Posted March 13, 2016 Don't forget lots of money and credit cards when your figs visit this place.....it will be a pricey visit. This build reminds me of visiting there several times over the past 40 years. What a cool build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Green Hair Posted March 13, 2016 Well done! I like how you've used some clever SNOT techniques, the window hatches for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palixa And The Bricks Posted March 13, 2016 Love it There are so many great details that create a wonderful atmosphere. I especially like the small balcony, the green blinds and the awning ... and everything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humdrum Posted March 14, 2016 I concur with the previous comments made, it's a really nice/awesome/stunning/... (add more superlatives here) build. I'd also like to add that I like the photography of your models, 'the infinite coloured background' (for lack of a better term) really makes the model stand out. A standard desk or living room background wouldn't do these moc's justice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Staslegomaster Posted March 14, 2016 LEGO City was the first theme series - even before mini figures.And it's still popular because much is needed in a city: railway stations, shops etc. So your MOC would be a pearl of any city. I like the playability of your creation and that you combined a few different ideas in one set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely stunning, reminds me of capri more than venice for some reason. Probably the scooter! Thanks! I have heard Capri is a delight, can't say I drew inspiration from it for this MOC, maybe i'll source some pics from there for another build in the future! I really like every aspect of this moc! Another superb build. Great architecture and athmosphere! Stunning! Keep those Southern dioramas coming, love them! Thanks! Once I get a hold of some more colours i'll definately do more southern European setups. Maybe Eastern Europe also.... Don't forget lots of money and credit cards when your figs visit this place.....it will be a pricey visit. This build reminds me of visiting there several times over the past 40 years. What a cool build! This is definatley an expensive trip, after all everything is paid for in 100s! Gorgeous MOC! Great attention to details! The two boats are the icing on the cake! Beautiful!

Nemo57 Posted March 14, 2016 Efficient building. I like the different levels of an extension to the main building, plausibly simulated the shutters, scale is designed in the style of Lego modular homes. Cheerful colors, good company minifigures. All for a good rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Withacee Posted March 14, 2016 Lovely build. I instantly recognised it as a "snaillad". I particularly like the boats and the details on the pavements and the tower. Keep clicking those bricks together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mpyromaxos Posted March 14, 2016 Beautiful built! It's a lovely day in RIviera! Keep up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior Shark Posted March 14, 2016 This is the Bee's Knees! And apparently the scooter comes in Light Aqua?!? Why didn't I know about this? The real genius of this MOC is the attention to detail. The colors really strike me- I feel like I'm looking at a picture of the French Riviera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
