toorayay Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Here is my latest Modular MOC, a Tiki Bar & Restaurant with a townhouse next door. I completed this MOC in the spring but just got around to photographing it this past week, so I thought I would share it here. This will be a very image-intensive post, so if you want to see all of the images on Flickr, check out my album here! Here's the full front view, with both buildings side by side. A closer view of the facade of the Tiki Bar. I named the bar HAU after the Infected Bionicle mask that adorns the entrance. Now to look inside! The A-frame Archway clips on and can easily be removed in order to access the individual floors. The A-frame Archway, Disassembled from the main structure. Top floor of the Tiki Bar. The chef prepares Polynesian-inspired chicken and seafood recipes in the kitchen. The best seats in the house are at the banquet table on this floor, giving diners a unique experience. The second floor of the restaurant and the bottom floor of the townhouse. More townhouse pictures are coming up. This floor of the restaurant has an opening that overlooks the bar below. The dining tables on the second floor. The walls are adorned with traditional Polynesian-inspired Tiki decor such as nautical paraphernalia and seashells, and globe lamps light the restaurant from above. Overlooking the bar below is a loft area with a giant Tiki idol and a colorful banner. The stairs leading to the top floor have some hidden skulls beneath them. All of the great Tiki bars have lots of hidden details. The bottom floor of the restaurant, with the bar and additional dining areas. The bar area has lots of traditional Tiki mugs lining the shelves made from an old boat hull. Another large Tiki statue looms from the archway in the back. The front door from the inside, showing the torches that help to create the appropriate level of lighting. The lavatory is hidden off in the area behind the bar. After getting past the Tiki idol on the ground floor, patrons will find the stairs to the upstairs level, along with a door to the outside... ...where they can find cozy outdoor patio with intimate seating for two. And now, for the adjoining townhouse: The top floor of the townhouse, with a loft-style bedroom and bathroom. The townhouse bathroom. The open kitchen on the first floor, with a small dining nook. A cozy living area allows the resident to watch their favorite TV shows or relax with a good book. The back of the apartment has a small porch with flowerbeds and seating. Thanks for looking! Again, the whole gallery can be located here! Edited October 15, 2017 by toorayay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Looks good! A weird and skillfull mix of relaxed holiday happiness and a creepy edge with a lot interesting ideas. The boat shelf, for example, is really awesome, as are the tiki idols outside. Very simple, yet so effective Edited October 15, 2017 by Littleworlds Typed a typo!

Still Raindrop Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Oh hey, another tiki bar builder! Very nice—your execution is flawless (I have to say I’m a little jealous of how perfectly you captured the feel of it!)! The A-frame looks great, and I love the interior decor. Looks like a pretty classy joint! Edit: oh, and the use of the sideways 1x2 log bricks as tiki mouths is inspired! It perfectly captures the distinct shape.

koalayummies Posted October 18, 2017 Fantastic MOC modular. Tons of detail everywhere, creative use of the boat and Islanders parts, the townhouse feels really cozy and great use of space throughout both buildings. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wouter1980 Posted October 24, 2017 Cool way to hang the lamps above the table! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EvilBlackSheep Posted November 10, 2017 Wow that's a really neat idea and execution. I love the way you used all those islander parts as well as the nice use for that bionicle head. And the townhouse next door is also really nicely detailled, great job!! Is that red giant tiki idol also coming from the islanders series?

GeoBrick Posted November 10, 2017 Those doorhandles on the gate! I like how the dark green blends in with the browns and tans of the restaurant. Seen from the inside, the bar entrance looks huge though. I'd love to see a shot of the A-frame from the side though, can't see at a glance how you pulled off the broadening effect of it.
