paupadros Posted October 1, 2017 Gorgeous! I honestly thought when reading the title... Oh, no... What a tremendously terrible idea! Not at all! Seems to fit right in as San Francisco terraced house. Also, wounderful MOD on your GB Firehouse! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blazej_Holen Posted October 1, 2017 Somehow the original spirit is gone... this doesnt fit as a modular to the modular street ...interesting idea but dont like it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That means a lot coming from one of Eurobricks Town's more skilled MOCers and Modular designers!

Perhaps I should have made it a hobbit building or something. "Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found.

Wesley D Posted October 1, 2017 Nice effort. I'm surprised how soon you made this one up! I think it would look better between the other modulars without the tower. Nevertheless I prefer the looks and athmosphere of the original set. I'm going to start building mine right away! I've been looking forward to it so hard and so long!

ReplicaOfLife Posted October 1, 2017 Great conversion! Doesn't work for me with the official modulars due to the wildly conflicting styles, but I can easily see it in a row of similar buildings. I'm picturing a small fishing village at the edge of the water, not much space to build on due to mountain cliffs behind... Nice work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paupadros Posted October 1, 2017 I imagine you had great trouble splitting the roof to accomodate the tower in the first place, but maybe the one thing that draws from it is the fact that the tower is not straight in the front. Maybe you could try to move it further front, but I imagine that is very complex... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doge Posted October 22, 2018 @koalayummies Sorry for the necro, I just wanted to say how much I adore your alternative build of the Old Fishing Shop! It looks really nice and I'm planning now to acquire this set myself to try to do the same! It will finally help to compensate the akward gap of 16 studs that Assembly Square created... Just a quick question, did you use much extra parts in this moc, besides the 16x32 baseplate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a quick question, did you use much extra parts in this moc, besides the 16x32 baseplate? Hey Doge, thanks. Regarding extra parts used: yes, but they were mostly 1x4/6/8 bricks for the walls. If you build it like this one you will have a lot of SNOT bricks and a bunch of sand green tiles leftover from the Fishing Store parts though but good for something else. I also started on a 32-wide version but it was using up too many parts so I went with the 16-wide you see here. But here it is in case you want more inspiration: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doge Posted October 22, 2018 @koalayummies It's great to know what I'll be needing, both sound like an interesting build. Maybe I'll even give the 32 studs a shot! Thanks for your fast reply! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neonic Posted October 22, 2018 To be honest I think it 'fits' in the street between the other buildings. However, the building itself looks great. the Colors, the 'wood' tiles and the interior. It has a old, rustic kind of look. I think it looks better as a stand alone building near the beach, with some old boats and stuff. But that's my idea/opinion. Like I said, great build, cool colors/details Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gideon8 Posted April 10, 2019 It looks really cool! It reminds me of a range lighthouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*thomas* Posted April 10, 2019 I missed this the first time you posted it on eurobricks, but I like this build a lot. I'm no modular fan, but in a way, this is a nicer build than the original lego set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roadmonkeytj Posted April 10, 2019 Honestly if you added another floor to the roof was above the other roof lines this would look like a run down City Hall. I like it but at the same I feel it could be improved. I like the way you "expanded" the shop into two floors. Perhaps adding a third and making it a studio apartment for the owner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarBee Posted April 11, 2019 As much as this house doesn't fit between the all-new town houses, it's really adorable standing on it's own (or among same worn-done style houses somewhere near the bay). Also, the interior is so well packed, it makes me wanna go buy some bait and grab a fishing rod to try my luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
