[MOC] Weekly modulars #14 - House with Shop

Recommended Posts

#12   [MOD] Corner Bike Shop

Year built: 2017

Pieces: 2584 bricks

I think everyone knows the original Bike Shop by @lookl It's just simply perfect. Except, that I needed more corner buildings, not straights. So I modded it to be a corner one. The elevator still works.

I designed this mini hospital / clinic to fill the half plate space next to the Assembly Square.

Minifigs can walk in at street level, and register at reception. Then there is an elevator connecting the levels. One level for diagnose, one for treatment and one for recreation.

#3   Elevated railway station

Year built: 2014,  Upgraded: 2015

Pieces: 2030 bricks

I really can't remember, why I wanted to build a railway station for my city, when I only had the Pet Shop, the Grand Emporium, and the Pierre Marcolini. Probably I wanted a train much more, than the station. A train, which I always wanted, when I was a child, but I never could have one. There were a lot of railway stations on the internet, and also in this forum. Some of them could fit into the modular line, but all of them had ground level rails. Ground level rails breaks the modular concept, and I wanted something fitting more smoothly into a city. So I decided to make the railway elevated, and also the station. This way roads can pass under the rails, level crossing are not needed. Just like in a real city.

The concept is to have the 8 wide rail in line with a 8 wide platform, fits very nice on a 16 wide baseplate. At the first round I designed 3 modules, each hade 16x32 footprint. Two modules have stairs up to the platform, and there are a ticket office, a post office, an ATM and a phone booth under it. The third module have a covered platform area, and a park under it. The design allows single rail and dual rail station arrangements, but I only had 3 modules. So I decided to upgrade with more modules: I built two additional 16x16 footprint modules, and also a piece, which allows the platform to be extended over the street, so the platform can cross over the road and continue on the other side. The final design is very flexible. The station can be placed in between two modular buildings, or can stand freely in the middle of a square with a long streetfront.

The dual rail version

A possible single rail version, with train

My city is much larger now, and I'm planning to extend the rails across the city. No new station modules, just rails.

Extra - 7745 revival

Year built: 2014 (diesel engine with carriges), 2017 (high speed engines)

Pieces: 820 bricks

THE TRAIN, I always wanted. Of course, time passed, and I designed a facelift version with PF electronics. The red curve is vignetted on the white train front. The original diesel engine is now only used for freight trains.

I'm sorry, I know that 1600px wide image is against the forum rules/preferences, but this is the best way to present the train.

Extra - Bus

Year built: 2015

As there is a bus stop sign in the station too, I designed this modern London bus for the minifigs to continue their travel.

Can you post close up pictures of how you did the train turn supports?

Those are some great buildings you designed over the years, well done. Lots of different architectural styles, but they all work well together anyways.

The waterfront section especially looks great.

Looking forward to see more!

The supports are the 30517, 57893 or 58827 pieces. The straight sections are connected by Technic beams: on 16 or 32 long sections they can easily hold the train, like a mini bridge or overpass.

Thank you. Unfortunately, there is not much left. Just a house, and the zoo. Then I focused more on Technic, and recently back to castle.

#14   House with Shop

Year built: 2018

Pieces: 1309 bricks

Well, this is the last house I built. I wanted to start a suburban area around the city center, but I just stopped at the first house. I have few more LDD designs, but all semi finished. I'm not sure to post them ther or not.

This house was also strongly inspired by other great works:

  • Shop front: Black Velvet by @Kristel
  • Color scheme: Music Teachers Home by Sebastian-Z
  • Car, reverse engineered, originally white by @Nightfall

My MOCs consume too much space, so I would like to sell them. See the dedicated topic here
