    Very well executed and thanks for sharing it with us!

    Clean lines, great pin-striping and good looking bumpers. I like it!

    Very nicely done (and photographed). The black wear marks on the snare and tom is a good touch. Paradiddle on and Gene Krupa would be proud Matti!

    I like the jauntiness of the design and the color combo. Yellow can be difficult to build with in Lego, but by additionally using the sand green and reddish brown you've made an interesting building really pop. Good job! oh, and congratulations on the 3rd place at the Expo.

    Excellent! You've really accurately captured the outside of the original building in Lego form and I like the interior details you've included. Good luck in the competition.

    It's fantastically bonkers mental! I wasn't sure how that would translate to German (the closest I could get was - traumhaft verrückte psychische - anyway it's a compliment). Wow! I'm smiling just looking at it and trying to take it all in. And I want a beverage-providing shark! Wow! Wow!

    A lot of us use Flickr to host images - it's free, easy to use and straightforward to link to EB threads. I'm looking forward to seeing the remaining pictures! Oh, and you can always post a link to google street map view of the original.

    I'm currently listening to nerve-gratingly bad hold music while waiting for a conference call to begin.... Obviously I'd rather be bricking.

    That's an interesting design and it's certainly presented in a very different style from the other entries. I like the separation of public/private space, but perhaps some interior images would help get that point across and I'm intrigued enough by the glimpse of a life green roof that I definitely want to see more of that! Of all the entries I've seen so far this is the one I think I could see myself living in. Good luck in the competition!

    It's a beast of a building! I admire your ambition as that's a big task you're undertaking. Good luck with the rest of it and please show us the completed building when you finish it.

    That's a nice take on your Fathers train! You've bought it up to date, but it still retains the old bones. Good job Murdoch17!

    It's a very realistic interpretation of the source train! One thing I've struggled with in my MOCs is the appearance of those studs at the bottom of the transparent windows. I've started building mine with 1x2 tiles at the base of the window so the studs don't appear and the windows are only firmly attached at the top. You might consider trying that in LDD before you brick build for real. Thanks for sharing it with us!

    I really like the details of the interior - there's so much to enjoy in there. My only suggestion might be to consider increasing the height of the ground-floor by an additional two or three rows of bricks to make the proportions between the floors more even. Great work!

    Totally digging this! Excellent work.

    With four cats and four large inside dogs in my house it can be a struggle to even see the bloomin' fireplace sometimes....

    It looks fantastic! Great looking interior though you're right about that Stove/Curtains being a fire hazard :) One minor quibble - I like the chimney (I'm a sucker for those textures and that color-combi and the vegetation climbing up it), but where's the fire places in the rooms? I hope you brick it in real life and good luck in the competition!

    Looks good and nicely proportioned.

    Oh Poop! I had them correct when I originally built it then inverted them to ensure the white studs weren't visible, but got them in the wrong order :) Good idea! I'll try that, but I'm not sure they make that 1 x 4 arch brick in Sand Green. Probably not, I'm thinking I might work on the next building along - it's an Appliance Shop with some cool angles in the facade. Thanks for all the comments!

    I like this! You've beefed it up without going over the top and it looks like it'll compliment those two new Creator buildings very well.

    Art Shop I drive past this building on a daily basis and the color scheme they've used really stands out. The detailing on the facade is very common in the rural towns here in the mid-west and I just had to build it. It's currently an Art Shop with a sign in the window that says "Open Hours: When the lights are on", but inside it's dusty and looks deserted. I used an upside down SNOT techniques to build the detailing at the top just under the parapet and I also built the windows upside down to hide the white studs from being visible in the 1x2 trans pieces directly under the wheel arches. Additionally the main piece of the facade is inset 1/2 stud using jumper plates to enable the two sides to stand a bit proud from the rest. Here's a shot of the MOC and the original building (Standing on the bed of my truck with the MOC on a loud-speaker stand carefully slanted to ensure it was level and waiting for a gap in the traffic) Oh, and here's a Google maps link if you want to explore the other crumbling and neglected wonders of midwestern architecture... https://www.google.com/maps/place/104+E+Cherry+St/@37.838175,-94.35645,3a,90y,110h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1spBeYYxjD5-E49pJuRT9IkA!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x87c6545f65dcf487:0x9e422f982e6f1d58!6m1!1e1 Thanks for reading and comments and criticisms welcome!

    I saw this on Flickr the other day when I was looking at one of your trains. It's a bit more ruined than my Abandoned Factory, but I really like what you've done. The graffiti is a great addition and I'm digging the remains of the roof. Let Lego Cities collapse!

    Thanks to everyone for all the kind words! But unfortunately there are no plans - it was literally a quick and dirty build. The two-piece roof (using a couple of 1990's Station Platform pieces) determined the overall size, the shape of the entrance area was defined again by the roof pieces I used, I made the height of the main building sufficient to get the Blue Girder pieces from the Chemical Silo touching the wall below the roofline. I built it then grunged it down, then distressed it further...

    Excellent! I like the run-down feel to it - you've captured that well. I particularly like the broken TVs by the fence (nice touch), the wayward guttering and the crumbling concrete.

    Nice touch with the sound man's boom microphone. I'm guessing that the corrupt Politician will shortly be set free by the corrupt Judge....
