Great NPU on the legs on the facade and I'm digging the floor in the bar! Heck, it's all good... A thousand flippers? Madness, sheer madness..... <edit> I just noticed the Bathroom under construction on Flickr..... Nice touch and did you have plumbing problems in London?

They're looking good! I think the coffee-shop is my favorite. Good luck with them... Time for another BL order!

Really well done! Great looking rocks and snow and the engine. It all comes together very effectively!

Hey Ruben, welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the forums!

I like it a lot! Very successfully done and I this would be a great addition to anyone's town.

...and for those of us living in ultra-rural parts and driving on dirt tracks and riverbeds a tire rated for 40,000 miles lasts about 15,000. It's like a tax we poor country folk have to pay for living in the sticks...

Welcome to the forums Tony! I recognize those buildings next to the Pet Shop - I've built some of their other buildings... They do a great job with those instructions.

Welcome to Eurobricks Joe!

Thanks Alasdair, of course you're right but put Cav on a bike and he'd beat Usain....

Welcome Biobacon! The Cargo Train is a lot of fun.

Yes Yooha, It's a floating floor (not attached to the bricks below) of various 1x tiles over some random plates with a rectangular skirting board of 1x plates covered by 1x tiles around the perimeter. Here's a picture. If you get the geometry right it fits in perfectly, then just add the skirting boards and it's finished. I'd seen this technique in an older thread from a couple of years ago and always wanted to try it out (and I'm sorry I can't remember whose MOC it was in, but full credit to whoever they are). Then it occurred to me to make it a Dance floor and Miss Fiona's was born! Thanks for the kind words!

There's probably enough room in this old one of mine to fit your mechanicals in.... or it's easy enough to expand out. Here's a link to the thread. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=76788 Good luck and let us know what you come up with!

Welcome to the forums! That's a great looking MOC you've posted for us to enjoy.

Really good! You've definitely captured that architectural look well - and that Conservatory out the back is great (it just needs some plants in pots!) . How about showing us the other five you created?

As usual LT that's a great looking, detailed interior. I really like it!

Welcome to the forums Matthew!

My Lego Town is continuing its downward economic spiral. But there are signs of life. Here's my latest MOC for the downtown area. It's a Tractor Supply Depot that's rented out the second floor to a Dance Studio. It's built on one and a half base plates. There's an archway leading through to the Depot area at the rear of the building and an external staircase that leads to the second floor. On the roof there's the water tower that the owners have hidden behind a rickety Billboard. Here's the inside of the Depot showing the landing bay, a whole bunch of packing crates, spares and a chain-saw. The second floor has Miss Fiona's Dance Studio. It has a diagonal wooden dance floor, a beat up Piano (played by a crusty Trawler man!) On this floor there's also a tiled waiting area and a fully fitted Bathroom (behind the Green Door) Business is okay and Miss Fiona is content with life. But she doesn't realize what happens when she closes up shop for the night. The crusty Trawler man takes over the Studio and turns it into a nightclub! The piano is moved to one side, a light show bought in and the DJ spins top tunes until dawn. Things are going well, but then suddenly the foam machine breaks down and bubbles erupt everywhere! I think Miss Fiona will have something to say tomorrow! Comments and criticisms welcome!

Superb! There's great attention to detail and I like the fact that you've shown pictures of the original as comparison - you've done an excellent job. How long did it take to produce this?
