RoxYourBlox Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) “The Lawyer Laundromat" ~ We clean away any trace of your money ~ flickr This project started as an attempt to make the building across from St. Stephan's Cathedral in Austria (no particular reason other than it is aesthetically pleasing and colorful), but as with nearly all my projects it took its own direction after not too long. So without further ado, here are the pics: Side: Top: Interior: 1st floor: 2nd floor: 3rd floor: Roof: In my haste to photograph both this and our Pentagon, I forgot the obligatory shot with my family's minifigs standing in front (not to mention random minifigs in suits and maybe the CMF Judge)!

splatman Posted April 22, 2014 Cool. The only thing it needs, is a portalvator. Or are the lawyers too busy suing over the lack of it, for that to happen? Portalvator n. A vertical transport device used in multi-storey buildings, using quantum transportation technology. A portmanteau of portal and elevator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meiko Posted April 22, 2014 The minifig head/dollar sign billboard is my favourite part! Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAKAbricks Posted April 22, 2014 A nice building. The skylight also caught my attention immediately. But the dollar sign minifig head is a funny feature. - I also like the book shelves and the sofas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbythom Posted April 22, 2014 Wow, this is such a great build. I can't stop looking at all the wonderfull details, the vibrant colours and the texture of it all. Superb! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steph 104th Posted April 22, 2014 Stunning and awe-inspiring. This is a work of art that would put most modulars to shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy D Posted April 22, 2014 Very,very, very nice! I am struck by the symetry, there are places where one cannot tell front from back from sides. So well thought out and executed. Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunm Posted April 22, 2014 Great work! Interesting that you chose not to use studs between floors to secure the different levels... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoxYourBlox Posted April 22, 2014 Very,very, very nice! I am struck by the symetry, there are places where one cannot tell front from back from sides. So well thought out and executed. Andy D Ah, yes, as I was gathering input during the design process, L@go preferred the corner while Kristel wanted the side version. During another mock-up I copied 4 corners together and liked the effect enough that I downsized it to one 48x48. The floors are for the most part radially symmetrical, and I built everything in fours as I went along. Great work! Interesting that you chose not to use studs between floors to secure the different levels... Hidden beneath each floor are 4x4 corner plates to stack them in place.

L@go Posted April 22, 2014 Again: A lovely build. And even with that many different colours, it doesn't look cluttered. You've got some serious skills :) Great work! Interesting that you chose not to use studs between floors to secure the different levels... All the early official modulars used this technique. Only the last few sets have studs between floors. The early ones were held in place, sideways, by plates underneath the floors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legogal Posted April 23, 2014 Wow! And WOW again! Lovely colors, textures, furniture, tile floors, windows, and so many other outstanding features. This is outstanding! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickAb Posted April 23, 2014 Awesome work. I especially like beautiful wall texture and brilliant skylight. Colour palette and photos are amazing too. Also I should mention cool details, like smiling $, use of judge's hummers as arm rests of armchair, and nicely done laundromats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WetWired Posted April 23, 2014 Amazeballs!, I'd love to see a modular version of the laundromat, for some reason I keep thinking it'd make a great bank, with the dollar sign on the billboard and the high ceiling on the ground floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted April 23, 2014 This is gorgeous! My favourite part is the ground floor, both the facade and the interior details. The tag line had me in stitches! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
