Superfunk Posted June 1, 2014 Hi everyone I'd like to present my new modular police station, based on the 2014 city set 60047. I got one set for christmas, bought another one with a discount and made a couple of bricklink orders to complete the station (mostly bricks and plates, tiles for the floors, some mifigs and accessories). It was a fun project! Comments & suggestions welcome, thanks for looking! The garage has space for a patrol car, a van and also for the two police dogs, when they are not out catching bad guys. The transparent stair case leads up to the welcome desk. On the first floor, the patrolwoman on duty welcomes citizens and visitors. There's a small meeting room to the left and the desk of the police sergeant on duty. One floor up, the chief is practising for the press conference in the briefing room. There's also an office for the special ops guys, the command center and the chief's office. The holding floor has all the necessities for processing and locking up the bad guys. The cop could smile all he wanted, Fred still didn't trust him. "Holy cow! These police guys must have used up all the tax money for their shiny new headquarters!" Originals on Flickr.

L@go Posted June 1, 2014 A good idea very well executed, if I may say so! And I like your sense of humour. I think Fred's choice is a wise one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faefrost Posted June 1, 2014 Normally I am not a fan of translating the bright city colors to Modulars... But damn! That works and works really well. It looks perfectly like a modern style government building. The stairs are great. The tiling on the floors is fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickviller Posted June 1, 2014 I really like what you did, it's echoes the original police station, and still looks a lot more realistic and modern. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jody Meyer Posted June 1, 2014 This is just awesome, nice to size comparison as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebeus I Posted June 1, 2014 I love that transparent staircase, really nice, funny choice for personnel . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emilstorm Posted June 1, 2014 Really great interior! The garage looks very "garagy", and the glass stairs are a really nice touch. 1st floor, excellent too, especially the reception, and again the use of those transparent parts is beautiful. The banister on the stairs look great, I would probaly have made a brick built stairway, so the cheeseeslopes would line up. The briefing room is nice and simple, and the top floor is just great. I love seeing that CS loudspeaker put to good use, it fits great there And the big Police sign looks great, again lovely use of transparent parts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady K Posted June 1, 2014 Very nice! These guys must have a great budget to have so many nice features in a new modern building! Love the transparent stair case! Very modern, all the transparent glass interior too. From the outside the design is great for a large downtown building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xyver Posted June 2, 2014 I agree with everyone else, those transparent stairs look great. The patterned floor in your reception area is different to what we normally see, but works wonderfully. I really like the big transparent POLICE sign too. I could list everything, so I'll save my time - everything is great!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wodanis Posted June 2, 2014 I liked the new design of the police station and pleasantly surprised you turned the idea into a modular. I really like your first floor with the garages and the glass staircase. What did you connect the glass staircase to on the far wall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 2, 2014 Brick Street Blues ! I love it.....AWESOME design and detailing ! Brick On 'Superfunk' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted June 2, 2014 Looks fantastic! I particularly like how you have the main Police sign, the feature column on the corner of the building and, on the inside, the floor tiling and the glass stairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superfunk Posted June 4, 2014 Thanks everyone for the kind feedback! @Wodanis: The stairs are only connected to the inner wall - thank god Chief Wiggins is slimmer as a minifig than in real life! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickyBoy Posted June 4, 2014 This is such a great MOD! Everything is already been said. I was thinking about to do something similar! So you've bought 2 sets? But you probably needed much more pieces to finish this project? Is it also possible, to make a picture from above of each floor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
talos Posted June 7, 2014 Really nice job, very polished! All the interior work is so interesting to look at, see how you did it. I bet it took more than 2 sets to build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charly1221 Posted June 14, 2014 It´s brilliant in the two senses, but I´m refering specially to de brightness of this building how did you do for protecting it from dust, Christmas was almost half-year ago I´m impressed, and I like the transparent stairs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightfall Posted June 14, 2014 Very impressive biulding. I like the clean and modern style inside and outside. The glass stairs are great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doom2099 Posted June 14, 2014 The bright colors are perfect for this modern take. Great humor inside as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glendo Posted June 14, 2014 i hope you think imitation is a form of hommage and inspiration... because you have shown me a great idea for a police station, and im off to buy 2 x police stn's to get started! thank you Sir! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elleana Posted June 16, 2014 This is very very nice. Been meaning to modularize my police stations (have one each of this one as well as 7498) but my build backlog is looooong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matoro Posted June 19, 2014 That glass staircase looks really cool, as does..... well, everything else! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmynick Posted June 19, 2014 I love the glass stairs, and the second photo (from "ground level") just looks great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moebius118 Posted June 20, 2014 This MOC captures my idea of a real Lego police station. I love modern modulars too, even if they do contrast greatly with the existing style. Transparent staircase. That is one well funded police district hahaha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
