BlueBard Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 B-RM-3B Hi everybody! I present you the last addition to my Modular Neighborhood: a corner module I've called "Lime GrandMa House". The house design is NOT MINE but by MOClug.com member mtMOClug as seen in this forum ([/url]), the gnomes' design is by Cornelius Murdock ()and the car design is by sonix from BS () so no credit for me for those. I hope you like it anyway! The rest of the pics can be seen here Comments are welcome! Quote
L@go Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 To make something like this round off a corner in a modular layout is an excellent idea that I'd never have come up with. It really reminds me of the setting in the 'UP' movie by Pixar, where the city has grown around an old house with inhabitants that don't want to sell their home and move because they know the house will just be demolished and replaced with something big and modern. I think I might just nick this idea. Brilliant! Quote
CorneliusMurdock Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Nice! Where's that guy going with the gnome? Quote
Capn Frank Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Why do old people always choose such weird colors for their houses? The house and its property are great. The entire layout is very complete and looks like it would fit right in with other modular buildings. Hey, would you be able to take a picture of this moc with modular buildings on either side of it?

BlueBard Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Thanks for your comments That kiosk is awesome! It's "recycled" from and old MOC but thanks! To make something like this round off a corner in a modular layout is an excellent idea that I'd never have come up with. It really reminds me of the setting in the 'UP' movie by Pixar, where the city has grown around an old house with inhabitants that don't want to sell their home and move because they know the house will just be demolished and replaced with something big and modern. That was the idea At first I tried to put it between two bigger structures with a small garden (like in "UP") but I didn't like how it looked (too "narrow") so I decided to give the two grandpas a proper garden and a large corner for themselves. Nice! Where's that guy going with the gnome? GGLF! Hey, would you be able to take a picture of this moc with modular buildings on either side of it? I'll try to post pictures of the whole Modular Neighborhood as soon as possible Edited August 3, 2011 by BlueBard Quote
CorneliusMurdock Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 GGLF! That's great! About time someone stood up for the rights of the world's working gnomes. Quote
prateek Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Great job. I like how you're tying up your town with a corner residential property, instead of the regular restaurant or whatever. I can't wait to see your whole town completed! Quote
lightningtiger Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 As always 'BlueBard' your work never let's us down......AWESOME yet again, great work on the newspaper stand and ain't that guy cheeky.....I guess that gnome will appear in photo's at the Sydney Opera House, the Great Wall Of China and Big Ben ! What's next for you 'BlueBard' ? Anyway, Brick On ! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Neat little home and garden scene 'BlueBard'. Great job on this detailed build Quote
BlueBard Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks for your comments! What's next for you 'BlueBard' ? For the moment, try to ensamble all the modules together and take proper pictures of the neighborhood but, after that, who knows? Those new MFs from Series 6 are really inspiring me... Quote
Toadtorrent Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 What a fun vignette. I love the tree design and your choice of head for the gnome thief. You've really captured a number of great scenes on a modest footprint! Quote
Parrothead Rasmus Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Honey, have you seen my gnome? Nice MOC! Quote
BlueBard Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks! Honey, have you seen my gnome? Quote
Hartfan Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Nicely done. I like this lime color house :D Quote
Vincent Kessels Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Very nice composition BlueBard. I really like that wall. Quote
andybear@hk Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 What a Great buildings. I like the wall, use red, dark red and some other bricks to build, the effect is good! Also the small magazine count outside. :) Quote

Hinckley Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I liked it so much I blogged it. As I said in the blog post, you have a knack for capturing a nostalgic classic feel yet updating it with a smooth, sleek feel. I bet your Town layout is fantastic and fun. I love all the fun little detail you put into the whole creation. It's more than just the house, it's the whole street corner. You can tell that you have fun with your creations. Thanks for sharing it with us. Quote

About the final layout, as I'll have to wait until the next month to take proper pics with some photographer friends, I'm working on a LDD model to give to you all some kind of "trailer" I'll post it today or tomorrow Quote
Calabar Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I love the Lime House, so that some time ago I built a version on my own. I'm very curious about your work in building interiors and modules, so I can compare it with my version. Did you based your built on the single photo that was available here? Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Beutiful house and great details! I love the kiosk and the fountain ...great MOC! Quote
Legoluchlol Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 WOW! This house is perfect! I love everything about it (and the overall moc itself) the fence is great too. Is it possible to get the building instructions for this? Quote
