alois Posted May 5, 2014 A couple of weeks ago my mother-in-law gave me an old 1592 Town Square set (Dutch version with 'soep en worst'). It had belonged to my wife, who never played with it. I rebuild it and restored it a little, and then i got an idea for a next modular building. A modular in medieval style, inspired by this set. Not a recreation, but with certain elements of this set. In a castle-like style, but adapted to modern times and fitted for a modular street. This is what I came up with: It is the last remnant of the middle ages in my town. A former town gate, with the house of the gate keeper. But the gate doesn't have a road any more. Nowadays the space behind the gate is used as a little snack corner, where minifigs can eat 'soep en worst': A view of the other side with the original sticker from set 1592: The other side of the building: The building attached to another modular MOC (bank building), to show the difference in size: I hope you like it. There's more to see on my flickr-page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eurotrash Posted May 5, 2014 Superb! Very European - the roof and the timbered beams are exceptionally well done. Thanks for sharing it with us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SRT907 Posted May 5, 2014 Brilliant! Looks like a real beer house in a European old town.. Very cleverly designed, liked it a lot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger_Smith Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Well done, truly a beautiful building. Building a medieval house is on my list of possible future projects too, maybe I'll even model it after the one I live in :D Edited May 5, 2014 by Roger_Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted May 5, 2014 Nicely done. I like the roof very much. Those colors work well together. Cheese slopes are awesome. The build itself looks quite good. I could see it fitting into a downtown or a medieval MOC layout. (although probably have to take down the ice cream sign).. How rare are those stickers that you used?

Scaevola Posted May 5, 2014 That roof looks great! Is that dark red or dark orange you used for the tiles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alois Posted May 5, 2014 The 'soep met worst' sticker isn't the original one, but a replacement from ministickers.nl (owned by Eurobricks member JopieK). The festival sticker however is original; the town square set I own had only one left of the original two, and since the replacement stickers are lightly larger and the original slightly shrunk, I used only replacements on the town square. That left me with one original sticker, used in this MOC. The shield is also a replacement sticker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebeus I Posted May 5, 2014 I particulary like the grey brick structure, very medieval-like. Soep met worst? not really a combination I'd like . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is better than the LEGO mistake: "Soap met Worst" from the instructions (011.jpg)! @Alois, nice job!!! And nice stickers ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emilstorm Posted May 6, 2014 Nice roof, and the flower bushes are awesome. It's always funny to see new interpretations of old sets, a lot has happened since then :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yooha Posted May 6, 2014 The planks on the side of the 'soep en worst' stall is a good idea. How was it done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
