sharkone Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) Hello to everyone, I would like to share with you the last Moc that I have created with my brother for our city (this is the first Moc that I post here on EB): In the last picture you can see behind the building our station, at the moment still a work in progress^^ Have a nice day:) Edited September 24, 2011 by sharkone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 24, 2011 Looks very nice. It's very detailed. Thanks for sharing! As a suggestion, tiles instead of plates could look good on the building's corners. Also, I don't know if there are buildings with corners as this, but what I usually see is like what you would get if you placed each 1x1 plate next to a 1x2 plate. Keep us updated on your work! That station must be getting pretty neat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted September 24, 2011 Excellent house 'sharkone'....nice studed corners - a little different than using tiles. Wonderful furniture, neat front door and overall a great build.....Brick On 'sharkone' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medib Posted September 25, 2011 Shark... I like the use of plates on the corners of the building. Innovative and looks nice, like you used field stones instead of "brick". Nice going. It looks nice. I would have referred to have used tile on the floors but that is probably my own preference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicmackey80 Posted September 25, 2011 Bella veramente Shark, fa piacere rivederti qua su Eurobricks, ma dietro è chiusa o rimane aperta?..stai costruendo una città su vari livelli mi pare, non la classica su baseplate appoggiata a terra..?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meyerc13 Posted September 25, 2011 I know this forum is a stickler for photo size, but even with the largest photos I've never had a problem before but I've tried to open this thread twice (last night and today), and it is loading so slow... I don't think it's my Internet, I have 6mbps down. Is anyone else seeing a problem? My guess would be the hosting company for the photos. I'd love to comment, but since I can't see your photos I'm sorry I can't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharkone Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Hello thanks for your comments, we are glad you like it. Yes we have tried to do something different using plates, also there are some Plate 2 x 2 Corner near the ornament near windows, so with tiles that would be a little different. ps hello Vic nice to see you here :) I know this forum is a stickler for photo size, but even with the largest photos I've never had a problem before but I've tried to open this thread twice (last night and today), and it is loading so slow...

Unfortunately I haven't at the moment an account on Brickshelf or Mocpages. Meanwhile I have uploaded them like .jpeg (lower quality sorry), I hope you can see them now: http://spaccasharko.altervista.org/_altervista_ht/immagini/legooo/casa1.jpg http://spaccasharko.altervista.org/_altervista_ht/immagini/legooo/casa2.jpg http://spaccasharko.altervista.org/_altervista_ht/immagini/legooo/casa3.jpg http://spaccasharko.altervista.org/_altervista_ht/immagini/legooo/casa4.jpg http://spaccasharko.altervista.org/_altervista_ht/immagini/legooo/casa57.jpg Edited September 26, 2011 by sharkone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you might be right on the reason, JPG compresses much better than PNG. I'm an IT professional, and as a general rule JPG is the best compression to use for photos, PNG for charts/graphs/line art. Also, to reduce file size without losing image quality, it's typically better to compromise on compression rather than on resolution. So perhaps Eurobricks should be as concerned with encoding method as they are with resolution. Now... as for the MOC. Very nicely done. I especially like the interior. I love those light fixtures and the stairs. One suggestion I have would be to move the railing on the upper part of the stairs to the exterior side, rather than the interior side of the stairs. It seems like you are losing space on the stair itself to allow for the railing, but if you mounted the railing to the wall using some type of brick with an attachment, you might free some space on the steps themselves. The only problem would be selecting a brick that wouldn't compromise on the exterior, and in the color you've chosen perhaps that isn't possible. Overall, thought, very nicely done!
