Ladies and gentlemen of Eurobricks meet Barry. Barry lives in Lego City but not the Lego City you may see on TV because the real Lego City has a seedy underbelly and despite what the Legoland Tourism Company would like us to think not everything is awesome....... Barry was once a corporal in the Legoland Army until he thrown out after returning late from a bar and hitting his commanding officer. Bitter and short of cash he turned to crime but after a few brushes with the Lego City Police he decided to go straight. Thanks to a few helpful donations to a local councillors favourite charities Barry was able to obtain a licence to open a pawn shop. Barry would like to help me today by giving you a tour of my first modular MOC, Barry's pawn shop and apartment. This building is a 16 wide modular with the ground floor consisting of Barry's Pawn shop and a side alley with Barry's apartment on the first floor Behind the shop is the stairway to Barry's apartment, some overgrown bushes and bins full of rubbish. There is also Barry's nemesis, a stray cat that he chases but always comes back to annoy him. There is a hatch from the apartment to the roof and a water tank. As you would expect the local seagull has left some presents on the roof. There are also some strange crates... On the ground floor is Barry's shop. It has some tools and household junk, jewellery, sports gear and a guitar that unfortunate residents of Lego City have had to sell to Barry when they hit hard times. Running alongside the shop is an alley that is home to rats by day but some more unsavoury characters after dark..... Here are the household and jewellery cabinets and Barry's counter. Behind the counter is his "tool kit" the bat for driving away tramps who sleep in the alley, troublesome customers and the cat! There is also something for when residents even more dislikable than Barry decide to pay him a visit Barry leads a simple life but not a neat one. His only furniture is a bed, sofa and TV. Not being the domestic sort the apartment is full of empty bottles, pizza boxes and takeaway containers and the cups in the sink may have been there a while. Then there is a shotgun in case the shop has any late night visitors..... Look, here come Dave and Tony from the Lego City PD, maybe they have heard Barry is attacking the cat or could our heroic law enforcers know something about Barry that we don't??? Unfortunately the cops may not be so heroic after all and Barry is persuading them to look the other way, but why would a law abiding citizen need to do that? Because maybe Barry never went straight after all and the shop is just his front Thanks for taking the time to view my creation. As it was my first modular build and first proper MOC in a long time I have tried to keep it simple but wanted to add some story at the same time. I would love to hear any comments and criticisms you have about it.
