Keymonus Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) In Astrapi was recently opened the new Commercial Bureau. This little building, situated in the port quarter of the town, represents the heart of all the trades from and to the island. Here, in fact, goods are weighed by an impartial functionary and honest prices are defined for what will be distributed in stores or exported on other islands; the functionary is also responsible for the sample of Imperial Pound kept in the Bureau as guarantee of absolute accuracy. This building, moreover, represents a fundamental meetig point for merchants looking for or trying to sell something (in this case, barrels of spices), asking for information about the most lucrative trades or needing armed escort for their ships.

KotZ Posted July 9, 2017 Very nice! I really like the scale you made. Nice work on all of the little details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elostirion Posted July 9, 2017 The weighing machine is absolutely fantastic! Very nice MOC overall - keep it coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted July 9, 2017 Great scale and I quite like the way the building is full of interesting smaller and detailed builds! Also, even though many complain about the trans clear windows (looking scratched/dirty all around), in BoBS mocs, they play their part brilliantly!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted July 9, 2017 Very nice furniture and a great little scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted July 10, 2017 The idea of balance and impartial fonctionnary is brilliant! Great addition to Astrapi, it will surely contribute to the growth of the town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Genaro Posted July 10, 2017 As others have said (but it still bears repeating), lovely job with the scale. The use of the sextant really makes it look like a precision instrument. The rest of the build is nice, too, and I love the subject matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garmadon Posted July 10, 2017 Beautiful scales! - great use of that sextant there! Neat interior and scene overall too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentWolf Posted July 12, 2017 The balance is the highlight here. Though it is complemented by the minifigure posing and activity. I also like the way you timed the floor. I will have to use that design in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted July 12, 2017 Great concept and excellent execution, sir. I really like the scale and the different weights in the shop, and the floor tiling. And I will certainly consider using the sextant for similar purposes. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keymonus Posted July 16, 2017 Thank you! Builing the scale was surely the most challenging part, also because the barrel is much heavier than the weights.

EVERY TLG set using these windows are like that for quite some time now (appearing scratched that is) but that's exactly what makes them feel "older" and more era appropriate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
