IAmWillGibson Posted April 11, 2016 Here's a link to the Flickr of my MOC/Mod of the Corner Deli, as an attempt to Modularize it. I've never done anything close to this before, so be gentle if I've made any blunders! [i just spent about 45 minutes trying to insert photos into this thread, before my computer froze on me, so I'm just linking the gallery for now. I'll add in proper photos when I have a bit more time and patience.] Thanks for looking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooootles Posted April 11, 2016 Very nice! It's a good mod on the base set. The interior is very nice! My suggestion, if permanently lining up with the $150+ Expert sets, is to bump up the roof height of the 1st floor by about 4 brick heights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IAmWillGibson Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Very good advice. I was trying to convince myself size variance is a real thing in cities... but it won't be that hard to just add another brick height to the top floor and a few to the bottom. I'll have to tweak the back stairs, but that shouldn't be too bad. I'm also gonna raise the entire building off the baseplate by at least a plate or two. That's an easy cheat.

IAmWillGibson Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Here's the post-reno Bob's Kabobs. I took the advice and made it higher. It's still the short guy on the street, but it fits much nicer than before. I raised the whole thing a brick and a plate off the ground, and added at least a brick at each level. The roof is now about the same height as the Detective's Office, on the short side. I'll try to insert photos now. Most of these are from the first version, but the internal details barely changed. The little deli at the end of the street in Bricklyn Heights. The Bobs. Front. Rear. I am fond of my garbage can and banister. Edited April 18, 2016 by IAmWillGibson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iammac Posted April 18, 2016 Looks better after the raise. I like the shawarma and the stovetops made from Speed Champion rims. Around the rear, I feel like the umbrella table is weird and out of place....who wants to eat next to a dumpster? ...But maybe that's just what you get when you eat at the "short man on the block." Great mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
