lightningtiger Posted November 18, 2013 I was working on one thing today, but then something I started two or three weeks ago caught my attention and decided to work on it. A coffee shop..... I just need some signs and Larry from the Lego Movie collectables series, then my coffee shop can join my Coles Express servo setup......this is now replacing my diner idea because....cash flow is bad again - anyway keep watching.

Still Raindrop Posted November 18, 2013 Marvelous! As someone who works at a coffeehouse (Starbucks) I think you've condensed the look quite nicely. Looks like you've got an espresso machine and a bunch of brewers--awesome! Although the glass looks empty; it could do with a few pastries. Fantastic job, and brew on! Is that still a thing? I haven't been on foe a long time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted November 18, 2013 Thanks for the kind words 'Mariko', yeah....I'm thinking about some cup cakes in the case.....I actually copied the coffee machine from the Lego Movie....I paused the trailer in the right place.

Kivi Posted November 18, 2013 The wall made of profile bricks is a nice addition as it breaks up the monotony of the front end and gives the effect of blinds or something similar inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted November 18, 2013 The wall made of profile bricks is a nice addition as it breaks up the monotony of the front end and gives the effect of blinds or something similar inside. Thanks 'Kivi', this is one of the few buildings in New Mannum that is just a flight of fancy...so it's not actually based off any real coffee shop.....though I'm taking inspiration from the Coffee Chain shop from The Lego Movie.....keep watching !

ER0L Posted November 24, 2013 Great work LT! Love the SNOT roof and also the colour combination which seems to be unusual but works very well in my opinion. Keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted November 24, 2013 Thanks 'ER0L', the colour combo was due to the fact.....cash flow issues, but I haven't finished with it yet some roof trim I forgot about is coming plus I've started plating the mega MOC up - there's just enough room for a car wash......keep watching !
