    MOC: Canal Street

    Hello EB members. A short post of my most recent MOC, its a street alongside a canal of European influence. There are a couple of shops within the two buildings with a small grocers along the canal selling plants and various fresh items. Just the one pic this time round; As usual you can find the rest of my MOCs here Thanks again!

    MOC: Atom Bowl

    Thank you, like no style I've attempted before but fun to make! Thanks, yeah good luck to him, I've never made that shot! Glad you like them, there are some small gaps around the diamonds, only the 4 outer corner cheese slopes are loose and with the right 1x1 studs with a brick on the side or both sides I could stabilise them at the top. The rest is all held in by pressure. I'm glad the days are gone of wearing the onsite shoes! Probably wasn't optional in the 50's! Thanks @lifeinplastic!

    MOC: Atom Bowl

    Hello fellow EB members. My latest MOC is called Atom Bowl. It's inspired by mid century architecture. I had intended to make it full on Googie but couldn't quite replicate some of the wild shapes prevelant in that style such as boomerangs. I spent most of the my time working on with the 'ball return' and diamond pattern. Couple of pictures; They are also found as usual on my flickr page: here All the best for 2024! Andrew

    Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    First impressions are I'm a bit underwhelmed. I'd hoped after the Jazz club this one would be a bit more exciting but I feel architecturally TLG is playing it very safe. The Boutique hotel moved the line on with an interesting corner design and gave us something we hadn't seen before and also a decent amount of a new colour to the line. Two relatively boxy and simple designs in a row feels a shame to me and an opportunity missed. If this is the successor to the largest flagship modular build then assembly square looks a more interesting, colourful and appealing build. As much as the banners are a cool design, I feel like they've been added in the latter stages as the design probably looked a bit dull and lifeless until then. As for some positives, the minibuilds of the solar system and the earths core are pretty nice. Staircase design I also like. Minifigures look good too. I won't be rushing out for this one. See what next year brings! Regards

    [MOC] Moon-o-Rail Station

    Very cool! Very appropriate grey colouring and you've managed to break it up in places to stop it looking too greyscale. As for the shaping I really like the angled roof and protruding wall. I'd wanted to do something white and futuristic incorporating a monorail for a while and this is pretty inspiring. Great job!

    Rava Restaurant

    Nice work, you've fit a lot into a small baseplate. I like the choice of colours and the fact you've made it modular. Well done.

    MOC: The Metropolitan club

    The exterior fits around the interior, The are not permanently attached but can be with a few tiles.

    MOC: The Metropolitan club

    Thank you, sadly no instructions as I don't design using them. Nothing finishes how I intended when I start a project :D Thank you, Art-Deco is my favorite style to replicate! Thanks! the gates I had intended to use all along. They kind of look like bird wings which is commonplace from the 1920's and 1930's - especially motifs and jewellery. Yeah sadly not one for modulars, its a wedge design, the exterior shape fits around the interior snugly so the sidewalk/pavement wouldn't like up right. Could probably be modified for a square corner design. Glad you like it! Thanks, I originally intended to made a sedan style vehicle but got fed up of failed attempts. The van was merely an easier cop out!

    MOC: The Metropolitan club

    Thanks, hopefully this may help somewhat; Thank you, it'd be even better if I had the windshield piece to fill the gap! :D It's on order! It's prohibition era so its just tap water in fancy bottles! :D

    MOC: The Metropolitan club

    Hello fellow EB members, its been a while but I finally started building again and have put this together in the last couple of months: The Metropolitan club - A 30's inspired bar and nightspot with elements from Art-Deco, streamline and some decopunk fantasy too. A few images to share; They are also hosted on my flickr below; https://www.flickr.com/photos/52656812@N04/ I'll try to answer as best any comments on building techniques or any feedback! Regards Andrew

    MOC: The Station hotel

    Yeah, they always get taken apart, in this case the model is too big to have round for long. I've got more train ideas for the future, maybe a more futuristic form of train and hotel!

    MOC: The Station hotel

    Cheers! Thanks, I spent ages trying to figure out the right pattern under those balconies. Thank you! I know the one you mean, think it might between near to St.Pancras too. Always liked the brickwork and colouring. Thank you, the shape of the building was my way of trying out an inset corner but on a grander scale. Sadly no interior details this time, its pretty messy on the inside, curtains did most of the hiding there! Thanks @JopieK I've made the accompanying station back in 2020 Thanks @ReplicaOfLife, glad you like it!

    MOC: The Station hotel

    Hello everyone, The latest modular inspired me to make my own hotel with a theme a little closer to home, a Victorian era hotel. Some typical elements of the period I have included and some newer ones too. Arched windows, red brick, steep roofs and more. Anyway a couple of shots are shown below, as always any comments are welcome and any questions I'll try to answer! You can also view them on my flickr page here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52656812@N04/
