[MOD] Pet Shop Modular + Big Bang Theory

[rockethead26]

Hi folks,

Haven't been around for a while, but my wife and I just had a lot of fun modding the Petshop Modular to include the Big Bang Theory set. We did the vast majority of the modding to the apartment side of the modular making it much larger. To keep within the standard depth of the modulars, neither Penny's nor Sheldon's apartments have any bedrooms as we couldn't make it work. They did each get a kitchen and a bathroom, though. We thought they were much more important than a place to sleep. We also took a lot of liberties with the color schemes on the interiors, but it all seems to work for us.

Anyway, here's the pics and we hope you enjoy them.

Very clever idea and nicely done!

I noticed that there are no bedrooms or beds. I don't watch the show, but does that mean it's a studio apartment or that you just didn't have the room for it?

Cool!

Thanks for the encouraging words, folks.

BadBob, I mentioned the lack of bedrooms in my first post. Really no room to do it right, so we didn't.

A minifigure head flowerpot? Penny is a sick, sick woman.

Interesting idea. I think the exterior doesn't fit in at all with the style of modulars, but that's just my opinion.

The interiors are fun, overall. I think you could make room for a bedroom, but have a smaller living space?

Yeah, it bothers me a little that my wife came up with that.

I agree, at least in the size dimensions, but we have other buildings in our Lego Town that are as large or larger. We think that it provides a mix of building sizes more like a real city. We also had a spare Petshop kit that was just asking to be used.

We really pondered this one, but there was so much furniture in the Big Bank kit, especially wall shelving, that it really left us no options without eliminating some of the Big Bang pieces which we really liked. We found it more fun to build bathrooms and kitchens than bedrooms.

I notice that you've segregated the characters into gender-specific apartments.

I find this sexist and demeaning and demand an apology!

I jest, I couldn't care less. Good build here. I've thought it might be fun to do similar, but then I'd have to actually buy the set...

Funny. You know, after each one of the guys got a girlfriend, the girls started ditching the guys a lot more often to hang out together and drink wine.

You really caught the spirit of the interiors!

This is the wife. I love the mini head flower pot. At least I didn't use a mean guy's head. :) Who doesn't love smiley faces? HA! I actually forgot I did that. Now I like it even more!!!
