snaillad Posted April 26, 2018 Hellow fellow EB members. I've finally finished a MOC which has graced my desk for far too long now. The Lock and Quay - a pub and also a fishmongers both set upon a quay. Theres not much interior detail as its quite a shallow build and its more of a token gesture to be able to see something through the windows from the exterior. Anyway on with the pics, only 4 this time; Any comments/questions etc, always welcome! Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoModularFan Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Holy moly! @snaillad made a new MOC!! What should I say? What can I say?! Awe-inspiring MOC as always!! I adore the atmosphere!! There's nothing I adore especially as I adore everything!! Your techniques always rock!! I don't know what else I should say!! You'd never decieve your huge admirers!! Incredible job!! Keep up your wonderful work! 16 hours ago, snaillad said: Any comments/questions etc, always welcome! That's really kind! I wonder what are the black pieces looking like arches used on the ground floor of the pub below the reddish brown arches? Thanks so much!

Littleworlds Posted April 27, 2018 This looks really good! Lovely facade-shaping and colour combinations. Neat and tasteful like a painting. The cobblestones are a lovely detail too with nice natural bumpiness. The fishmonger wants some more colour though. Maybe light blue for the interior?

Bricked1980 Posted April 27, 2018 I assume this is the pub you mentioned in your comment about my MOC earlier this week. It looks brilliant. It's full of atmosphere and reminds me very much of the seaside pubs you find in Devon, Cornwall and places like that. I like the colours you've used and the cobbled pathways. You mention that there isn't much interior detail but the interior looks like it's full of nice little details to me. A really nice building! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paupadros Posted April 27, 2018 You're a master. There's just enough detial to feel complete, but not too much to feel overcrowded. I've always admired the humbleness in your builds. Whilst many show off techniques, you always seem to play it the other way round. Simplicity to achieve an outstanding result; on the awning, for instance. In terms of colour scheme, the white, sand blue and tan building is superb. Such a muted palette can sometimes result in a beautiful building, again, humbleness. 20 hours ago, LegoModularFan said: That's really kind!

PD: I find cobble pathways to look surprisingly wonderful when built using the 1x2 ingot pieces! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks so much! Thank you very much, glad you like it! Yes those are 1x4x6 arches used sideways. I used a similar technique here: On 4/27/2018 at 1:39 AM, Littleworlds said: This looks really good!

The fishmongers is probably a bit too sterile and would benefit form colour, although of all the source material I could find most interiors were white.

I specifically looked at Cornwall and Devon on google image search so good spot! I have got pubs on a fish Quay local to me which is why I decided on making a fishmongers to go next door. 17 hours ago, paupadros said: You're a master.

I do experiment a great deal with colour to find appropriate combinations, I'm glad you've spotted the smaller details! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peedeejay Posted April 28, 2018 Great color choice as always with just the right amount of detail. The technique with the arches is so simple, but yet ingenious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
