eliza Posted October 12, 2017 My latest modular is a Surf & Ski Shop with a Travel Agency upstairs. Detail of the shop windows: First floor interior: Travel Agency on the 2nd Floor: (First time making my own decals.) Finally, next to my Kitchen Store for size comparison. Thanks for looking!

Carefree_Dude Posted October 12, 2017 Beautiful building! And it's very organized inside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted October 12, 2017 Love the front window. Very clever. I hadn't thought of that before. I may have to borrow that technique (credit due of course). The other details work quite well as well. I like the round plates toward the top a lot. I really like the parking meter. I can't figure out what the very top was made of though.

ColletArrow Posted October 12, 2017 Hey, that's a nice design to get angled windows with no gaps! Good job on the building overall, looks simple but attractive. The interior themes work well, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Flemming Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) That's very tidy. Nicely done! As others have mentioned, the main entrance is especially tidy. Always striking to see angles other than 90 degrees. 56 minutes ago, TheLegoDr said: I really like the parking meter. I can't figure out what the very top was made of though. Do you mean the top of the parking meter? It's a Technic Catch w. Cross Hole (4107800) on top of a Light Sword Blade, with a Connector Peg w. Knob inside.

koalayummies Posted October 12, 2017 What a lovely modular. That storefront is fantastic especially the windows and entrance, very clean and elegant facade and great details all over (technic parking meter, backpacks connected flush to the wall, travel brochure shelf all fantastic). The Kitchen Store is wonderful as well. Awesome building and great MOCs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted October 12, 2017 Looks very good. Welcoming and friendly on the outside (and very authentic) and the interior is just perfect. Very spot on. I especially like the shelf with travel brochures - such a simple and effective solution! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheLegoDr Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) I found it. I hadn't seen that piece before (although I own some in my old LEGO. I just haven't seen it in 20+ years). I saw the little knobs on each side, so I knew that other technic connector wasn't right, but has a similar base. Either way, smart thinking. I will have to dig mine out and set them up throughout the city. Edited October 12, 2017 by TheLegoDr added info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peedeejay Posted October 12, 2017 You really are a master of 16wide builds and this one proves it again. Everything ist perfectly balanced and not a single brick looks like it should not be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antp Posted October 13, 2017 Nice! Like others, I like these angled front windows Is the couch/chair missing a 1x1 tile on purpose? Or is this an error? :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReplicaOfLife Posted October 13, 2017 Great work. Love the shop entrance, great idea to angle the windows left & right of it. Seen shop entrances like that a hundred times in real life, but it never occurred to me in Lego. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wesley D Posted October 14, 2017 I love your modulars very much! They are so cheerful! The angled windows are fantastic. Nice how you came up with another variation for your 16-wide modulars. I'm not a fan of decals, but you made some nice ones! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catanas Posted October 14, 2017 This is fantastic! Such a clean and simple design, and I really like the colours used. It doesn't seem too garish, which is often a risk. Oh, and I adore that facade! ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted October 14, 2017 Awesome 16 wide 2-in-1 modular, Brick On 'eliza' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliza Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the great comments everyone! It was tricky working out the angled windows for the 16 wide format. For those interested in technique, the windshields work really well - with more design flexibility - with larger window pieces. Here's a storefront "sketch" I made while working out the details for the shop. Don't know if this one will every be a modular.

Those old pieces are still completely compatible. On October 13, 2017 at 3:28 AM, antp said: Is the couch/chair missing a 1x1 tile on purpose?

I am modding the corner buildings from Assembly Square to be proper full-size corner modulars and they seem HUGE since I'm used to working in a tighter space. :) Edited October 14, 2017 by eliza Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palixa And The Bricks Posted October 21, 2017 Beautiful modular with a clever front window! I'm not so fond of the red and blue colour combination of entrance but I have to say that it works quite well next to your other modular The interior is spot-on as always. You have a very distinctive clean building style that I like very much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red and blue weren't my first choice of color combo, but that front window build required a very specific set of pieces so color choices were restricted. It also makes me happy to use up some of the brighter colors in my collection once in a while...not everything can be tan and gray. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Withacee Posted October 27, 2017 Nice one! Great façade, fits in perfectly with the rest of your buildings, both style-wise and size-wise. The blue is a refreshing change from the "normal" modular colours. Favourite bits: The travel agency and the entrance. Keep clicking those bricks together!
