Lepralego Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Welcome to Brick Walk, an ancient promenade with a Georgian-style building fully furnished. A big tree adds the nature feeling characteristic of this pedestrian walk. Inside the house you can enjoy a cup of tea with friends or have an elegant dinner in a stylish living room with high ceilings and an old chimney. In the upper floor, a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom complete the old mansion. The Brick Walk scene is inspired by Leicester’s New Walk site in the UK, a Georgian pedestrian promenade that is more than 200 years old. It is also a tribute to all the ancient walks that are still part of many English cities. These are places where you can enjoy the pleasure of walking and sharing moments with family and friends, often surrounded with trees and beautiful terraced houses. The building by the pedestrian walk does not refer to any actual building, but includes details and references to many different Georgian buildings common in many English cities.

neonic Posted April 17, 2020 One word, amazing the Building itself looks great, as well as the interior and the street. Great photographing / photoshopping too. Like the first photo, great combo of your creation and background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lepralego Posted April 17, 2020 Thank you @neonic! I was doubting a lot about the first photo's background, so I really appreciate your comment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jus1973 Posted April 17, 2020 That’s fab, and as someone who grew up in the Leicester area, I can see the inspiration here. Supported on ideas. Keep up the great work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh! Thank you so much @jus1973. Although I live in Spain, I travel a lot to Leicester as my sister lives there, so I have also a personal connection with New Walk... Thank you for your support and your words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CSW652 Posted April 17, 2020 Very nice building and will support, but kind of surprised it isn't a modular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pdaitabird Posted April 17, 2020 That's beautiful! So many great details and techniques. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) That's a stunning MOC, @Lepralego! Of course I supported it - and I even would immediately buy it if it was released. I esp. like the exterior with the small wall and the botanic and the interior of the upper living room. Edited April 18, 2020 by Klaus-Dieter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merlict Posted April 18, 2020 Exterior doesn't really excite me. But that interior is absolutely great. You packed so much detail into such a small space, puts the official Modular insides to shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted April 18, 2020 Really nice work. Great to have a bit more walking area. And then the detailing is fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've started with the idea of a modular but after taking many other decisions I've decided not to build it as a modular. Anyway I think it could be putted side by side with some of the official modulars. I know that the street suddenly becomes wider with Brick Walk, but perhaps it could match anyway... I'll try to make some digital images of that. Thank you for your support! 15 hours ago, Pdaitabird said: That's beautiful! So many great details and techniques. Thank you! I've started it after Boulevard des Lumières (my previous big MOC) in mid-february and finished it three days ago. More than the 50% of the time just thinking in the details... 11 hours ago, Klaus-Dieter said: That's a stunning MOC, @Lepralego!

Thank you so much for your words and support. As I previously said, this project has a personal connection. I love go walking through New Walk every time I go to Leicester, I feel that city as mine in some point, so perhaps the scene of this project is a snapshot that I always have in my mind... 6 hours ago, Merlict said: Exterior doesn't really excite me. But that interior is absolutely great. You packed so much detail into such a small space, puts the official Modular insides to shame. Thank you @Merlict for your comment. I think that I try to put the same effort in the interior than in the exterior of the building. Many times one side compromises the other side. I often see very nice facade buildings projects that finally disappoint me when I see their interior. I've made many changes to the exterior since I started it, and knowing when to stop with that changes it's very hard point. As with any kind of creation in some point you have to consider it finished, because you reach the goal you were looking for... Right or wrong, I think I arrive to that point. Again, I really appreciate your comments. When you share something you are also making a survey of opinions, so all the points of view are important.

greg3 Posted April 19, 2020 Very nice!! The interiors are great (not such a fan of the modulars so it's nice to see a classic open backed design!) and I love the signage and street furniture!! Excellent stuff and good luck on Ideas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peedeejay Posted April 20, 2020 Great build! I like the fact that you build a different kind of pavement and not the standard one from the all the modulars, even though this might be a challenge to include this in a layout. The building looks solid from the outside, but the interior details really stand out with great ideas. Using the train wagon end part as a frame for a bed is ingenious.

Thank you! Well, I like the official modular buildings, specially their facades, but I don't like so much the way to access to the interiors, always from top. I find this fact a bit unnatural, as it is not our common point of view... 1 hour ago, peedeejay said: Great build!

Thank you @peedeejay, I'm glad you like it. I love many of you modular creations too... About the layout, I'm with you, perhaps it wouldn't be easy to include it with other modulars but not impossible... I will try to make a digital view of that.

Maple Posted April 22, 2020 I don't think I've ever bought modular for full price, always waited for sale. But damn I'd buy that if it were a set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmynick Posted April 23, 2020 My goodness — I love the comfy Georgian feel. And the black-and-gold bollards! So familiar! I can imagine a whole terrace of these. Nice job with the angled foliage on the tree. Great build and thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comon27 Posted January 17, 2021 @Lepralego Brick Walk is SUPERB!!! I live in London and you’ve accurately represented many houses here. I’d love to build a street of these in my city. Would you consider doing instructions for them if you haven’t done so already? I’d try and work a staircase into them and out backs on them but honestly, this is a wonderful set! Well done!
