MAB Posted January 3, 2019 I like the statue being carved - nice idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peedeejay Posted January 3, 2019 Good stuff! I like details all around. The color mixture of the building is rarely used but works very well here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted January 3, 2019 Looks great! I like the decay and the colour combination in the facade, and the "business" of the common area which gives it lots of character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adwind Posted January 3, 2019 I really like how you did the roof and overall color scheme is fantastic! It made me smile ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have done the decay bit before, and I really like the look of it. Sometimes, it takes longer to find the right minifigs than doing the building, but it's so worth it.

I always try to make things happening on the roof. An empty roof is just a waste of space and a missed opportunity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReplicaOfLife Posted January 3, 2019 Stunningw ork on the facade. Love the decayed effect with the medium dark flesh & dark orange. The sand green also works well on the ground floor and the roof. I'm on the fence with its use on the sceond floor though. On the one hand I think the arches & tiles stand out too much there, but on the other it just fits.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted January 3, 2019 Very nice building technique ...it's amazing to see the embossed brick under the smooth bricks The garden where the kids are playing around is very complex in its simplicity (and perfection) Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the one hand I think the arches & tiles stand out too much there, but on the other it just fits. Thanks for your kind words and your input. I wanted some kind of arch above the second floor windows, preferably in dark orange, but 92950 don't come in too many colours. 21 hours ago, LEGO Train 12 Volts said: Very nice building technique ...it's amazing to see the embossed brick under the smooth bricks The garden where the kids are playing around is very complex in its simplicity (and perfection) Great work! Thank you! One of the best things is to get the minifigs to give life to the build. It's great fun to find the right combination of head, hair, torso and legs and to make the figs interact.

greg3 Posted January 5, 2019 What a great build!! The textures and detailing on the building make it look incredibly realistic but it's all the little details and activity around it that really bring it to life (I especially like the fence made of roller door pieces!!) Excellent work and thanks for sharing!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always try to use the roof, especially if it's a flat one, as a part of the build. An empty roof is just a waste of space and a missed opportunity, as far as I'm concerned.
