lightningtiger Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 B-OV-12B Now I have only being posting redesigns, etc., I decided to tear out the Lowes menswear store and build it as a stand alone shop to go in the place of the Ford dealership which will get it's third redesign next week. I haven't decided if I should sticker the blue section along the front roof section or the white panels above it ? Comments etc., welcome as always ! Quote
streifen Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Great hangers you have done there! As for the blue section or white panel "stickering", i think maybe shorter the depth of the blue section or change to an awning and "sticker" the white panel. if not, just lower the white panel and "sticker" the blue. btw how do you close the store? can't seem to see any door/roller shutter. and finally (to semi-quote u): brick on, LT!

Thanks for the reply 'streifen', actually I'll be using a trans-blue 6 wide wall element as the door when it's closing time ! To make things a little clear of sorts..... The Lowes store in Wagga Wagga. But mine design is similar to the store in Albury N.S.W., though it does have some elements from the Chatswood store as well. Sorry, I'm unable to find images of these two stores, though you can find them via Goggle Maps. Brick On everyone ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 Finally mastered capturing images from Goggle Maps ! Put the two of these together and bingo ! I'll be working on stickering this and the IGA supermarket plus the Mitre 10/Retravision store too - just a few old signs to be attached. Keep watching ! Quote
rriggs Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Where's the cashdesk going to be? Cheers Rog Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 Where's the cashdesk going to be? Cheers Rog Ha, at the back.....aw, well I guess I now need to make one and see how I can fit it in....oh, brain-storm just hit me ! Updating in less than four hours....not at home right now to work on it ! Thanks for the feedback anyway, 'Rog' ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) 'rriggs' suggested a counter and I made the changes for a counter plus more stock ! Still more to come ! Oh, a quick edit as I couldn't resist another Vader visits..... No, Republic credits here....a gold Sith Credit Card, but the sales people have run off from the weird guy in black.....he just wants to buy a towel ! Edited September 29, 2011 by lightningtiger Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 I should explain about the additions inside the store, yes...they are the towels and shelving from my Target store...why ? Lowes doesn't just sell menswear (including shoes and underwear), but some sell woman's and children's wear plus sounds a little odd, but towels and just towels....no sheets or pillows ? The extra signage will be going on today.....once I have resized and cropped the images. Keep watching ! Quote
rriggs Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Good job and looking good. Just need some totty behind the counter now... Cheers Rog Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 Good job and looking good. Just need some totty behind the counter now... Cheers Rog Thanks 'Rog', yeah....another custom figure....male or female or one of each ? Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 You can also use the 'edit' button a bit more. The store looks great to me, I think it's a challenge to put so many things inside a cramped space. Are you planning to add a staff coffee corner too? Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks for the feedback 'Captain Blackmoor', yes trying to cram as much in a MOC as possible without stuffing it up is tricky. Quote
rriggs Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks 'Rog', yeah....another custom figure....male or female or one of each ? Just female is fine... Cheers Rog Quote
lightningtiger Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 Just female is fine... Cheers Rog It shall be done, not sure today or Tuesday (long weekend....stuck with wife....oh, crap ! ) Quote
Hiawatha Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 I like the fact that this is a real store and you used the stickers and logo for the MOC . Do you happen to sell any pirate or soldier clothing ? Quote

Do you happen to sell any pirate or soldier clothing ? Thanks 'Hiawatha' for your comments, and no, no costume sales......Bras & Things sell costumes for the ladies.....my wife was interested in a police woman's costume once ! (Yeah, right....I did say my wife ) Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 I finally found that spare 1x5x6 trans-blue panel to install as the front door to this MOC. A or ? Keep watching everyone ! Quote
HighFlyer Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Excellent store, this looks very similar to a typical Menswear store here in England. I adore the curved trans-blue pieces at the front - adds brilliant detailing! Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks 'HighFlyer' for your comments, I still haven't stickered my cafe/bakery yet....lazy me eh ? Oh, I have started work on the chemist to sit next to this combo. Keep watching the forum for updates on all my designs ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) G'day everyone, how many of us has this happen to them..... Lowes Australia wrote: "Shaun, Lowes Loves your Lego creations and want to offer you a $50 gift voucher. please keep them coming. That was sent to me via Facebook, I had uploaded a few shots of the menswear store bearing their name. I'm wanting for them to contact me so I receive my gift.

HighFlyer Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Congratulations!!! You thoroughly deserve that Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks 'HighFlyer' and 'Robbie', I'm now waiting for an email from Lowes...good I'll need another pair of jeans or perhaps a nice jacket or pair of shoes....oh, I'll have lots to choose from. I just remembered I must come up with a custom/or tossed together female minifig....if it was male I would have to make a Mr. Humphries (I'm free !)....oh, that's all my town needs - camp follower ! Keep watching for my update with staff inside. Quote
Leo-J Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Very cool replica! I think we need more variety in them shirts. XD Quote
