ritztoys Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Hello all brick builders, my City display needed a brewery and this is what I came up with...... As this is a tall building, only the roof comes off to see the inside. So here are some pictures before the walls were "squished together" These "tank designs" (which I modded a lot to fit building) belong to Rory Archer of Australia My minifigs always enjoy their adult beverages, especially when they can see where their favorites are made!

ExeSandbox Posted January 8, 2019 I have never seen anything like this before! It looks really nice! Can't imagine what it's like drinking next to these big drums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted January 8, 2019 Great build and amazing interior. And those wall mounted lamps are brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jalemac34 Posted January 8, 2019 The interiors are fantastic, i'm not a big fan of the exteriors but i think you reproduced the architecture of the building in real life.... Very good job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peedeejay Posted January 8, 2019 The interior steals the how. Cool details! The outside looks good as well, even with reduced details. However there are too many lamp posts in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank-you, I saw those lamps on a local building, and thought "How to get that look in LEGO"? 8 hours ago, jalemac34 said: The interiors are fantastic, i'm not a big fan of the exteriors but i think you reproduced the architecture of the building in real life.... Very good job Thank-you, I was striving for a 30's to 40's style of building as most of my display is kinda in that period of design. 3 hours ago, peedeejay said: The interior steals the how. Cool details! The outside looks good as well, even with reduced details. However there are too many lamp posts in my opinion. Thank-you, Yes I struggled with the "City" lamp posts, and/or the building lamps together. I don't know how the City display would look eliminating those said posts? ("the builder forgot to put city light posts on the sidewalk?") It might make the building a little more attractive? I didn't want to do too may exterior details as this building was repurposed and the new owners had a tight budget to keep remodeling costs to a minimum! The whole project happened because of a 'beer delivery wagon' I had that needed a home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the hip 'new' thing in the USA that the 'tasting room' (aka small bar) is in the factory where the beer is made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done :) Thank-you, I added my experiences of 'field testing' to figure out the interior design and the full layout. The funny thing I built the building first and made everything else fit inside. Edited March 21, 2019 by ritztoys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redhead1982 Posted March 21, 2019 Well done on the interiors. It looks great without the external walls. I like the middle floor with a balcing overlooking all the equipment. I'm not a fan of the facade though. The color scheme is nice, but looks very plain with standard bricks. Have you considered adding some brick-bricks in dark red, tan and dark tan? I think it would more texture to the facade and keep the overal look.of an industrual building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you considered adding some brick-bricks Thanks for the compliments and suggestions, I understand the facade is a little dull, the reason I added the window "keystone" for some detail. Are you referring to the 'profile brick'? I have a hard time mixing those types of bricks into my creations, oppps my OCD is showing!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should give it a try. Profile bricks combined with some jumpers and plates/or tiles can create a bit more weathered look. If you don't like it, you can go back to this fresh fasade version. I'll try to find a picture of a wall I did like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 23, 2019 So many beautiful details hidden by lovely walls ...this MOC is a total masterpiece! Very unique! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotoAndLego Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) It really is a nicely done model, but I have two suggestions. The top row of arched windows sits a little high in the space. I think there needs to be less tan below them and a little more tan above them. Maybe I'm just used t their spacing on the official sets, but I think there are too many white lampposts.

ritztoys Posted March 26, 2019 20 hours ago, LEGO Train 12 Volts said: Does the truck have real steering wheels? Yes it does, controlled by a Micro motor sitting vertically inside the truck cab. IR sensor, battery box, M motor located inside trailer. Power is fed through the "5th wheel" to one side of the 'differential' so that turning is very easy. 19 hours ago, Roadmonkeytj said: Will you be traveling up to BrickWorld Fort Wayne this year?

Share some pot designs I have for my own brewery lol I would love too, I had such a great time during Brickworld Indy, but my vehicle is not weather proof and $$ is a problem for the whole weekend. PM me about any questions you have, be sure to visit one of these 'modern breweries' to get some really good ideas! (& beer) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
