Bennemans Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) As a brother to my Dairy Shop (see http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=105597), I've just finished the second addition to my WIP; Old Town Square: a Butcher Shop! Butcher by Bennemans1984, on Flickr This shop has been in the family for centuries! It's well known among the locals for its fresh products and great service! Mr Butcher likes to keep his little stoop nice and clean for his customers. Primarily using the colors black, dark brown, dark tan and olive green, this building is noticeably darker than my Dairy Shop. It has plenty of elaborate wood carvings, including the bell-gable, the windows and the carving of a pig above the door of the shop. Outside, the butcher has displayed some dried sausages, a table with meat sauces and gravies, and some meats. In the window, the townsfolk can salivate over the meat, poultry and pork displayed there. Mr. Butcher takes pride in his family business! At the back is a little extension, which serves as the staff entrance to the butcher shop. The front door to the apartment above the shop is situated at the back as well. (of course the apartment is fully furnished, with a kitchen/living above the shop, and a bed/bathroom in the attic) Hope you guys like!

Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 15, 2015 Great ! Best butcher shop I have ever seen. Would also fit in well in the historic section! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frogstudio Posted February 15, 2015 Would be great to see both buildings side by side! Beautiful work on both! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bennemans Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks everybody for the kind words! Any interior shots? Beautiful! Do you have any shots from the interior? As this is not a modular, interior shots are very hard to do without destroying half my creation… but with the sweat of my brow I did manage to take some photos! I didn't spend too much time on the interior, so don't expect anything spectacular! The shop has a counter, and shelving for cuts of meat and jars and bottles. In the back of the shop there's another counter space (not pictured) where the butcher can prepare the meats. There's also a washroom (brown door to the right). The small apartment above has a kitchen/living, with a small kitchenette, a table with two chairs, a red loveseat and a cabinet with a flatscreen tv on it Upstairs is the bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a small dresser. The bathroom (not pictured) has a toilet, shower and sink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron Posted February 17, 2015 Nice! This looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Good damn gravy, that's an amazing build! I don't know which little tricks I like more, the maladjusted board shingles on the awning or the drawn pig in the window. Edited February 17, 2015 by Colossus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliza Posted February 17, 2015 Wow this is packed with amazing detail. Somehow it feels both fantastical and earthy at the same time. Love your color choices. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bennemans Posted February 18, 2015 What a rare piece of art ...I like the old style architecture with wood! The roof is the icing on the cake! Thank you very much! The roof took 311 (mostly olive green) cheese slopes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
