lightningtiger Posted May 31, 2011 Yes your build looks getting massive steps ahead as mine just bacwards. If no one had suggested this yet: Electronics Store !!

(oops, my spare parts are starting to disappear ) Keep on watching everyone, more in a few hours ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostein Posted May 31, 2011 Hello! This will indeed be a big building eventually! When you spend as much love to details as you did for your previous creations, I have no doubt that this will be a fantastic creation. I already like the revolving door! Cheers, ~ Christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 31, 2011 Thank you 'Legostein' for your kind words, I'll be making a few changes next to the ladies fashion store....adding a drinks machine with a storeroom behind it for the next shop to go in. Plus signage today too, I must work on The Coffee Club kiosk and fashion store - Katies or Suzanne Grae you lot decide...please ? Keep on watching ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 1, 2011 G'day everyone, just a little bit more today. I will be making the merchandise for the ladies fashion store plus stickering tomorrow too ! Comments still welcome. Brick On everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buddy Posted June 1, 2011 Great progress on this MOC! It looks even more like a shopping centre now that there is plants inside it. Keep up the good work. ~buddy~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks for your comments 'buddy', on the untiled section will be the seating area for The Coffee Club. More to come ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outer Rim Trading Co. Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Looks great so far! If you are still deciding on the anchor chain, I'd vote for K-Mart. It will give you a nicer brick built entrance. Is it possible to create one of those rectangular kiosks to go in the middle of the walkway just in front of the Vodafone stall? How much would rent be to put a little independant LEGO store in there? Also, I think you need a service corridor leading to a security room so your shoppers have somewhere to barricade themselves into when the zombies start to attack!

lightningtiger Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks for comments 'ORTC', I doubt zombies but drunks more like it ! Great, a vote for Kmart...if that goes ahead that means not one supermarket but two - ouch ! More tomorrow.....yeah, I still need that store name for the ladies fashion.....Katies or Suzanne Grae ? Keep on suggesting ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brink Posted June 1, 2011 Nice work so far. This is going to be huge when its finished. For suggestions maybe a Gamestop or a Footlocker? (If you have those in Australia) I'd love to see someone attempt to make a Lego shoe shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzylegobricks Posted June 1, 2011 Game stop isn't in Australia I don't think. Shoe shop seems nice actually. I think you should go with Katies. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted June 2, 2011 You could do an EB Games if you wanted a games store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

icy brick Posted June 2, 2011 Just one question. What have you thought for the name t this shopping centre ?? And I´ll say: this is a phenomenom ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricks2000 Posted June 2, 2011 With the details shaping up, so is the shopping center. This MEGA-MOC would be one of the best ones I've seen yet. Good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 2, 2011 Thanks 'icy brick' and 'Bricks2000' for your kind words, now name.....gee, suggestions anyone ? I was going to run with 'New Mannum Village Shopping Centre', but what can anyone else come up with ? I have had to rip the white tiles from the Ford Dealer's showroom to almost complete the flooring you see in the above photos......fresh photo up soon ! Brick On Everyone !

AussieJimbo Posted June 2, 2011 What about "Mannumgate Shopping Centre". Kath and Kim would approve. ;-) :classic: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnny cogs Posted June 2, 2011 Hey there. Awesome build. I am a huge fan of intricacies and love all the small details (all started when I built a small Panini press... I was hooked after that!) Are you intending on having a customer information desk at all? Some of the ones here in the U.K can be quite lavish and would allow the use of a lot of trans(insert favourite colour here) peices. And where's the loo's??? ( I really wanted to write Dunny there, but didn't want to annoy/offend anyone...) JC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
