Who hasn’t come across a street portrait artist during a trip or a simple walk? Along the banks of the Seine, there’s one many people remember without really knowing him: Étienne Marceau. He doesn’t talk much. He just observes, tilts his head, and moves his brush with a confidence as natural as the flow of the river. Tourists stop, sit down, smile a little awkwardly. He captures only what’s needed: quick lines, essential shadows, a firm stroke that seems to say, “this is enough.” His portraits aren’t perfect, and they’re not meant to be. They’re urban snapshots—faces that appear and vanish, small fragments of an ordinary day in Paris. And maybe that’s exactly why they stay with you. If you like this set, please, leave a comment to let me know what you think!

Thanks. If you can help me to share it for more support. Lego trains is my second passion, I'm collecting them all. My first lego as a kid was a train. When I grew up I started collecting legos again after my wife gave me one for Christmas.

I think you're right, the inside floor had to be different from the outside.

Eleonor Boat Restaurant is a typical restaurant built on a river boat. The set includes a small marina and 9 mini figures. Eleonor is a modular LEGO Boat Restaurant. It is designed to be compatible with existing modular LEGO buildings and it is constructed on a 32 x 48 base plate from 1837 pieces. The model is made up from 2 modular levels featuring a cafe/restaurant and a hold with engine room and galley. Level 1 - The restaurant The restaurant has access from the marina crossing a small bridge. On the inside there are the counter and the kitchen, tables for customers and a piano designed to create a romantic atmosphere. The interiors are decorated with many details: table lamps, wall lamps, curtains, the counter with the cash register, the stove, the sink and the piano. At the stern and bow there are two outdoor spaces provided with tables and umbrellas. The roof has a window that enable the light to come from above directly to the dining room and to a little control tower where the boat commands are managed. Level 2 - The galley Below deck is located the restaurant galley, the engine at the stern and in the bow, two camp beds for the cook and the old captain. The galley is full of stocks for the restaurant such as: barrels, crates with fish, crabs and lobsters, barrels of fuel for the engine. Thank you!

Hello everybody. My name is Gianluca Pressi, I live in Italy in a town called Affi near Lake Garda. As a child I played a lot with Lego, three years ago the woman who then became my wife gave me a Lego train and since then I started collecting Lego again. I recently published a Lego Ideas project, a typical restaurant built on a river boat: Eleonor Boat Restaurant. I hope to make my contribution in this community. Hoping not to break the rules, below the link of my Lego Ideas project. I hope you enjoy. https://ideas.lego.com/content/project/link/a0285bdc-2989-4960-9687-1efd19e50766
