1920s farm house and vintage car MOC v2 - real world models - finished 7/17/23
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Town
It's early afternoon, and the sun is playing hide and seek with the clouds on a hot Sunday in June, 1928. On the rail line near the house, the tail end of a freight train slowly trundles past as the distant sound of the chuffing steam loco recedes into the background noise made by crickets. The telephone rings, but you ignore it for a minute, as nobody is going to disturb your day off nap. It continues ringing and you go to answer it, thinking it might be your boss calling you into work on your lone day off. Nope - it's a guy trying to sell you some life insurance instead. You hang up the phone and return to your comfy chair and quickly retreat back into the land of dreams... This version of 'UP house' (set 43217 along with a back half addition I found on Rebrickable) features changed around furniture, and a more neutral color scheme. This version of the house folds open and locks shut on a Technic pin. My other white 43217-inspired model (it didn't turn out like I wanted) donated the majority of it's parts to this project. The rear half of the house. I built it from some very movie-accurate instructions on Rebrickable, as seen here by user rykfield. I did remove the rear dormer window, just for some variety. The lower floor features a living room, foyer, and dining room while the upper floor features a bedroom and music room. This is the inside of the front half of the building. The rear half of the house's interior. Most of the furniture seen in these two pictures is recolored from the Friends 'Downtown Flower shop and Furniture Store' (set 41732) along with a few pieces from the 'Moving Truck GWP' ( set 40586) and the original UP house itself. This vintage car was heavily modified from a model by BricksAA and these free MOC instructions over on Rebrickable. It reminds me quite a bit of a Ford Model A, thus placing the timeline for the first picture in this thread sometime between 1928 - 1931. The car features a spare tire hanging at the back of the vehicle. The roof is removable to seat the three figures on the inside - two up front and one in the back. Any and all thoughts on these two models would be appreciated! UPDATE 7/17/23: New finished pictures and revised text added as of now! -
1920s farm house and car - real world 43217 ('Up' house) heavy MOD - finished 3/11/23

Well, it certainly wasn't easy but I managed to reverse engineer most of set 43217 - 'Up' house (seen above in spoiler) and add a back to it using just two box pictures. I added a back half and raised the build by a brick and a plate. Unfortunately, I just couldn't figure out the roof from the set or the original bay window. The former just got swapped for a brick-built roof, while the latter was removed and replaced with something simpler after much stress. The new rear half. It had it's issues trying to get everything to work. But it's good enough for me. The house folds open and even wraps around the chimney as much as possible. (The odd-size flue sticks out into the back half's space a bit) The lower floor features a living room, foyer, kitchen, and dining room while the upper floor features a bedroom. The first floor worked out well design-wise, but the second floor is an absolute mess due to all the supports / arches / beams needed to hold the roof together. Speaking of the roof, both sections aren't very pretty, but it works... at the cost of taking a whole bunch of upstairs space on the inside, as you can see. This vintage car was heavily modified from a model by BricksAA and these free MOC instructions over on Rebrickable. The car features a spare tire hanging at the back of the vehicle. The roof is removable to seat the three figures on the inside. EDIT 3/11/23: Car photos added! Thoughts? -
The Lego Farm set (7637) was literally the first 'official' set my daughter and I started with. What started as a fun little set in the middle of the dinning room table has grown into what is Godwins Hollow today - in just a few years - so Lockridge Farms quite literally is the cornerstone of our city. This is the farm house in the center of the farm. As always, if you'd like to see more feel free to click here or here.
