gotoAndLego Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) I finally finished it. What do you guys think? It's fun to charter an accountant And sail the wide accountancy, To find, explore the funds offshore And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy! It can be manly in insurance. We'll up your premium semi-annually. It's all tax deductible. We're fairly incorruptible, We're sailing on the wide accountancy!

Big Cam Posted October 29, 2010 Stunning, this definetaly deserves a frontpage. [bloggedcp][/bloggedcp] I love all the fun details. Canons in the windows, the brig at the top, is that an anchor in the sidewalk I love it, very creative and it honestly looks like a building on one side with sails on the other. Very creative and fun. It'll be on the blog in a few hours. Keep your eyes out for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the Inventor Posted October 29, 2010 Awesome work gotoAndLego. The building looks really great and just like in the movie: Although I don't really like the sails, they look to white and new. But what a great MOC. the Inventor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Scream Clone Posted October 29, 2010 Very good idea pulled off well. Loving the architectural details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Croissant Posted October 29, 2010 I finally finished it. What do you guys think? I think it's a masterpiece! So many great details in this building, and even a good interior with the shooting closets and more. The real building seems rather plain coloured, but yours is a pleasure to the eye with enough colour tints. I also like the walking plank Great job and a well-deserved frontpage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted October 29, 2010 Just pure.....mmmm, I'll use a new word from my own son...AWESOME-MATIC ! Excellent work on that sail and exterior features.....it is sheer beauty ! I think this is your best work so far 'gotoAndLego' and of course I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Cam Posted October 29, 2010 I must say, I really like your photography style, you're good with angles and bokeh. I was shocked when I saw you were using a point and shoot and not a DSLR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotoAndLego Posted October 29, 2010 I must say, I really like your photography style, you're good with angles and bokeh. I was shocked when I saw you were using a point and shoot and not a DSLR. The Canon S90 is a ridiculously good little shooter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted October 29, 2010 The Canon S90 is a ridiculously good little shooter. You've sold me, if the time comes for a new P&S anytime soon, I know where to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotoAndLego Posted October 29, 2010 You've sold me, if the time comes for a new P&S anytime soon, I know where to go. By the time that comes I bet you could land a used 4/3rds for just a couple of bills. Something like the GF1 or EP2. But is nice to know that some P&Ss have big ol sensors.

Skalldyr Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) So well done! It is made with so much attention to detail, that I nearly like the interior more than the building itself.... Best part I think are the file cabinet-canons! Oh and btw: you have set me an "Ohrwurm" (as we say in Germany) -> engl. "catchy record" Edited October 29, 2010 by Skalldyr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotoAndLego Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) Here is an idea of its scale compared to the 10197 Fire Brigade (its on the modular system so it snaps together with the other cafe corner buildings). Fun Fact #1 The CPA used in the movie is the old Lloyds Shipping Register building in London. And for sh**s and giggles here is an early WIP photo. It was just a facade at that point, but the second floor was too similar to the 10211 Grand Emporium, which was sacrificed for bricks. Fun Fact #2 The back of a Honda CRV is an excellent photo location...no seriously. Edited October 29, 2010 by gotoAndLego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derfel Cadarn Posted November 1, 2010 This is awesome! I know this from somewhere, was this from Monty Python? Has to be. Great build all round, you've captured everything from that scene. Most spectacular Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Markett Posted November 3, 2010 this is the best MOC I have seen in a while. I never would have expected someone to do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deckard Posted May 22, 2011 Wow, I apologise for digging up this relic from the past, but I had to comment, I've been slowly working my way back through all the MOCS and this is just great. Such a funny movie, Terry Gilliam is a genius and this totally captures the spirit of the movie. Really nice work on a very unique idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gotoAndLego Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the words. Well it's about to be torn down for another MOC so I'll post a piece count. Edited May 22, 2011 by gotoAndLego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
