snaillad Posted May 30, 2023 Hello fellow EB members, its been a while but I finally started building again and have put this together in the last couple of months: The Metropolitan club - A 30's inspired bar and nightspot with elements from Art-Deco, streamline and some decopunk fantasy too. A few images to share; They are also hosted on my flickr below; https://www.flickr.com/photos/52656812@N04/ I'll try to answer as best any comments on building techniques or any feedback! Regards Andrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HDHell Posted May 30, 2023 The van is really interesting. Can you provide a picture with the van in the focus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy bricks Posted May 31, 2023 That is really amazing, looks fantastic! The building is stunning, but I must agree that the van is the real masterpiece here. It's so smooth! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jalemac34 Posted June 1, 2023 Nice work. I guess that the cocktail is quite expensive here ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, it'd be even better if I had the windshield piece to fill the gap! :D It's on order! 5 hours ago, jalemac34 said: Nice work.

hikouki Posted June 3, 2023 Fantastic build!!! Hope you can put up the instructions one day... would be great to build and house all those retro minifigs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holodoc Posted June 3, 2023 Wonderful MOC! It's sooo 1920's ! Brilliant color scheme for this era as well and an extraordinary curtain/wall deco, too! I like it all the way. Well deserved frontpage! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Sassy Posted June 3, 2023 As always, an amazing model. Love all those little details, truly a fine Art Deco (I think ) example. Outstanding job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted June 4, 2023 Wow, this has really got style. The future has been re-invented! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted June 4, 2023 Absolutely impressive! The external facade has a beautiful 60s architecture! Even the interior adheres to the style of the time, the use of the gate as decoration of the bar is perfect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jus1973 Posted June 4, 2023 This is fab, with some real neat touches to create the 30s Vibe. I assume it’s not modular compatible as the base appears 100% SNOT. Makes for a nice clean finish though. Congrats on the home page link too. well deserved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JopieK Posted June 4, 2023 Wow that is a stunning build, so many great details. Van is also splendid! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, sadly no instructions as I don't design using them. Nothing finishes how I intended when I start a project :D 23 hours ago, Holodoc said: Wonderful MOC! It's sooo 1920's !

They kind of look like bird wings which is commonplace from the 1920's and 1930's - especially motifs and jewellery. 10 hours ago, jus1973 said: This is fab, with some real neat touches to create the 30s Vibe.

Yeah sadly not one for modulars, its a wedge design, the exterior shape fits around the interior snugly so the sidewalk/pavement wouldn't like up right. Could probably be modified for a square corner design. Glad you like it! 1 hour ago, JopieK said: Wow that is a stunning build, so many great details. Van is also splendid! Thanks, I originally intended to made a sedan style vehicle but got fed up of failed attempts. The van was merely an easier cop out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordsofMedieval Posted June 4, 2023 Does the interior slide into the exterior, or are they totally separate builds? The color scheme is very interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lifeinplastic Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) Some top work as usual @snaillad! Often wonder what you are planning in the time between you sharing your creations with us and always look forward to seeing what you’ve been building. I’d like to visit this bar!

Tylar Posted June 29, 2023 Hello, I love so much the association of colour, this is truly one of the best model of a building I have seen so far. The shapes combined with the choices of colours are really captivating, great architecture artwork (whatever the technics employed). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antp Posted June 29, 2023 Nice, all that looks luxurious/retro/gorgeous We can feel the atmosphere of that era Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
