6 hours ago, Boettner Builds said:My older BIG grand emporium was a large corner, but after a while I just didn’t like it anymore. That’s when I got the idea for it to be an entire city block.
I just added some pictures to my Instagram of how mine looked as a large corner.
Yeah, at that point your GE was too big to be a corner building. I can't wait to get home and knock out the base floor. Thank you again for the pictures. Your city block is what 96x64?

Sweet, I like the one window idea. I also tinkered with the back of the building as I'm not going to do a wrap around.

Well, she won't be the monster you have in the attic, but she'll rep my city very well. Still going to shoot for ten floors. Here is the start of this craziness, I'll snap some pictures after I get the first floor squared away. Thanks for the link and helping my decision to go 64x48.

Great story!!

So the last BH's to release are the Lego 2 movie characters?
-
Great Star Wars pictures!! Wow!!

Yeah the blue building is a MOC the whole thing is tiled...yikes. I need help with that building at so point, i can't figure out how I want to layout the back area of the building.

The movie doesn't really show case Emmet's Dream house that much. So this is just an expansion of the Lego set. Both the Emmet's Dream House, and the Rescue Rocket have little screen time. I built both the Rescue Rocket, and Sweet Mayhem's Starship, so that I can suspend them from the ceiling. I really enjoyed building Sweet Mayhem's systar starship. In some odd way Sweet Mayhem has this old school Metroid look to them.

Best I could throw together on short notice...
Probably using the OEM Lego dream house would put on a better show.

I'll see what I can do for you when I get home...

Thanks for the help, still getting use to the site lingo.

Nice! I think 64x48 may work the best for me. I love that your build is the whole city block. are you doing any detail on the floors?

Totally was going for that look.

I have already PM'd Rick on moving the thread, and possibly renaming a hand full of topic titles as they are not correct. Thanks for the concern on the thread. It's a odd build as it's almost 100% Lego plans, but the color is different, so MOC/MOD?

Was that sponge bob on the roof of the visitors center in the youtube video? lol great job!!
-
Wow, great builds! I enjoyed the lot clearing, great detailing!

I love their legs on the pegs, it just cracks me up.

So any opinions on going to a 48x48 baseplate for the Grand Emporium? I think I'm going to do 9 or 10 floors, so having the wider foundation may give her a more pronounced look. Here is a quick mockup of 9 floors tall. Thank you for your input. Sorry to double post, I was bored today so her number got pulled.

15 hours ago, Fuppylodders said:Looks to me like the designer took design cues from both of them. You can't argue it is one or the other but a mix of both so it's whatever you want to call it. F35 has one exhaust nozzle but standard shaped slanted forward tail fin while the F22 has w exhaust nozzles and the symmetrical sloped tail fin. Neither of which are specifically unique to the lego model which uses one thing from each.
So it is both :)
Deal!
-
Do they offer a trans-yellow element?
-
Great use of the whips!

1 hour ago, Merlict said:To me the kit looks much more like a F35 with the single rounded exhaust and upper hatches, which do have the option of external weapons.
Note the F-22's vertical tail stabilizers, they do not angle back like the F-35's. The Lego jet's vertical tail stabilizers do not angle back either. That to me is the tell tail it's a F-22 (No pun). Take a peek again at all the jets on the table for a pretty good angle of the rear tail stabilizers.

Hello, here is a modular moc of Emmet's dream house/rescue rocket (70831). I used three of set 70831 to complete both the dream house, and the rescue rocket. I'm about 98% done with this MOC, I'm waiting on a order to tile the floors and add a few little knick knacks.
First, the rescue rocket is almost 100% stock; less the roof line detailing, rear fin, a couple of 1x1 rounds on the thrusters ,and brake lights (Safety first).
Second, the dream house, the house shares almost all the same lines as the OEM house. The roof became taller and removable, to support uni-kitty's loft/attic area. Here are a few pictures of the dream house exterior. Note the Lego box in the background for size and shape variants.
The standard modular pin layout is part of the fence and sandy yard, I just layered and made sand dunes to cover the 1x2 brick.
Rear of the dream house. The bay windows have a yellow pinstripe, the attic window molding was raised with a yellow 1x2 brick with axle hole.
Here is a picture with the roof removed, showing the attic area.
Here is the removable attic/Uni-kitty area, just basic piping and boxes, Uni-kitty has a desk, lamp, flowering plant, "weapons" holder, bed, and a letter from Stark Industries!?
This is a picture of the first floor of the dream house. Typical Emmet basic layout, and NO I didn't do a double decker couch.
Everything is awesome record, Emmet's dead plant with correct leaves....
Bird's eye:
Pictures of the whole thing in cross section....
So Modular? Of course.... Here is Emmet's Dream House! Right smack in the middle of Pepe's Pizza, and Dr Strange's pad.
I hope you had fun, I'll do a MOC run through on the other two building later. Please comment... love it, hate it? I'm here to learn and get better at this silly stuff!! Thanks

Here is the first floor, I'm going to move the back windows and center the columns. I may also have to remove the back door.
