x57bob Posted April 15, 2020 Hello! This is my first time posting a moc so let me know if I can improve anything. 41B4834C-6DAC-4F9F-836E-CFEDF4952B98 by Bob, on Flickr I made this a year ago but have recently revisited it to redo parts and make it better! The ground floor is dedicated to the garage and a small holding cell. This would mainly be used for over night prisoners, higher risk criminals would be transferred to a bigger facility. 49D03DCD-7CDB-4B73-865F-19C63E596D80 by Bob, on Flickr The whole build is modular so the floors can be easily lifted away for easy access to the interior 3B42090C-32F0-4038-B444-D92493EA6186 by Bob, on Flickr Unfortunately due to space constraints, a standard car just sticks out a little bit from the garage. However, it can fit the small undercover police car and the police motorcycle. Once I put this in my city (currently dismantled), the 2 police cars and truck will be stored in a yard behind the station. Besides, it makes more sense to me to store things that cannot be locked inside a garage.

A divider wall separates the work stations from the rest of the room. Currently I have it set up so an officer could stay at the station 24/7, sorta like a security guard.

It seems an officer is working on a strange case involving a pan and some money. Wonder what that could be? 448B3EFD-0D7E-4DC5-AF45-E40FDC2BAB93 by Bob, on Flickr The other desk houses the dispatch area, with a computer and some sort of station that has a mic and some gauges. A59CDAC6-CC52-4EB2-9277-F689545D263E by Bob, on Flickr On the other side, there is a simple bed and a cabinet containing some food and utensils. On the counter, there is a plate with fresh subs from the local deli, and a tasty donut from the coffee shop. Next to that is the all important coffee maker. 477B89F7-C1FE-4A2B-AFE6-330F5B3E56B2 by Bob, on Flickr Finally, on the roof, a simple overhang with some tiles on top completes the main structure part of the roof. On top of that, a big police sign lets the public aware of what the building is. Also on the roof, a security camera records the entrance of the station. Eventually I need to find a better place to mount it but it works for now. 17D4C4F8-3B07-4A0A-97BE-C77CB0005695 by Bob, on Flickr The 2 main vehicles that serve the police station Sorry if this got long, I like talking about my LEGO builds. Please leave any feedback that you have so I can improve my future mocs! hopefully the pictures work- first time using Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pdaitabird Posted April 15, 2020 Nice! Lots of great little details inside and out. The round bricks and plates look really good as architectural detailing. The only things I can think to add are maybe some kind of tool chest in the garage, and perhaps a gun rack in the office (unless Barney Fife works there! ) Great work!

The Brick Boss Posted April 15, 2020 You did an outstanding job. This is much better than the police stations that Lego gives us. I think I may have to follow suit in building my own buildings. The only thing I would add is a helicopter pad. Everything else is just right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpx Posted April 15, 2020 Very cool MOC! I love the small size, and all the features you managed to build in! I hope to build something like this one day, for my "city". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agent 86 Posted April 15, 2020 That's pretty cool! Kind of like a Japanese Koban (small police station / box). I'd personally be tempted to remove the garage and include the holding cell and a small reception area on the ground floor, along with stairs to a second floor with the lab / office. Or at least a curtain across the upstairs window so the officer has some privacy when sleeping : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neonic Posted April 15, 2020 Nice little policestation So tiny, and still so mucht details. the Only thing I thought was that the building was a bit too small. the Door right next to the garage door looks a bit odd. It looks more like some kind of buissinessunit or storage. the Rest looks great, nice use of colors too. It's full of details and stuff, maybe you can add some things in the garage?

LegoDW Posted April 15, 2020 I like it. Great job. Only suggestion is I want to see more, third level? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x57bob Posted April 16, 2020 Well I have taken your suggestions and added a few more details to both levels. In the garage, I added a mount for the motorcycle to connect to. This prevents it from falling over when moving the building, and I can pose some minifigs doing work. I also added a small workbench with some tools mounted on the wall. I want to add more detail eventually but for know it looks pretty good. 01972C11-0ED4-417F-94B7-98205C173746 by Bob, on Flickr View from outside: E6F678D2-762D-4C18-B88E-3638433E6C73 by Bob, on Flickr Up above, I have been experimenting with some different layouts. To give the sleeping area a bit more privacy, I moved it behind the divider wall and put the desks up against the windows A287B77C-C98E-4A88-B67F-E9CED70F0E83 by Bob, on Flickr Thanks everyone for the awesome feedback and have a great rest of your day!
