finnbricker Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) This is my largest and most ambitious MOC so far. I consider it a MOC rather than a MOD. It's based on two 7498 sets, but I haven't in any way tried to be true to the original design – I have borrowed a little this and that, but mostly it's my own design. This is also my first LDD-MOC. I designed it with LDD first and then ordered two 7498 sets along with a heap of BL and PAB pieces. It's still in some ways a WIP. First a couple of general shots from different angles. You will notice two Spring Scene 40052 fountains and a 40078 Hot Dog Cart in the street, plus two 4436 Patrol Cars and a 60041 motorcycle from Crook Pursuit. The garage holds two 7286 Prisoner Transport cars (the door is just about high enough to let them in when the searchlight is facing downwards...). The searchlights on the roof as well as the antenna are borrowed from 7498. The station sits on four 16x32 baseplates – two dark grey ones (the colour of the garage floor) and two green ones (allowing for small patches of grass by the entrance). The roof doesn't have many details, but the big sign reminds everyone in Lego city that there's heavy police presence. A butterfly has found its way up on the roof, too. Look at the poor hot dog seller – a seagull (from 5770 Lighthouse Island) has stolen a sausage from him! The backside is very plain. While the exterior is finished and complete, the interior still requires a little this and that. There is, for instance, no staircase yet. We'll start from the top floor. The top floor houses the chief's private office (down right) with a great view over the city. There is no interior here, yet. I'm thinking of a big desk, a secretary's desk, a conference table etc. The empty corner down left is where I plan to place the staircase. Top left is where mugshots are taken (borrowed from 7498). The two small booths are interrogation rooms, crapmed and without windows. I bet the criminals don't want to stay there too long. The lights outside indicate whether the room is in use. The hallway also has a coffee machine and a water dispenser as well as two trashcans, the green one for recycling paper waste of course. The coffee machine is close to the interrogation booths, so if you want to pretend to be the good cop, you can easily fetch a cup of joe for the suspect. The middle floor is the location of the holding cells. No built-in escape routes here, and the walls are two studs thick. There are four cells with a bunk bed and a toilet (by the way, the cells are the only places in the whole building to have toilets!) and a smaller cell with only a bunkbed. Outside the cells is a narrow hallway. The middle floor also houses a couple of work stations, but they're not of a very high quality, I'm afraid. Down right, the computer monitors are blank (a virus, maybe!) and down left, the cops don't have chairs to sit on. Well, the staircase is going to occupy the left side room anyway, so this should be sorted out at the same time. Still a WIP. The ground floor houses the main entrance to the building. When you walk up the grand staircase and turn left, you reach the entrance to the upper floors (still WIP). Turn right and you'll get to the office where the police department serves their citizens. This is where you hand in your application for a passport or a residence permit, seek for assylum, report a crime etc. There are seats for those who have to wait, a water dispenser and a service desk with room for two clerks. The garage is in the back but there's no entry directly from the garage to the interior. Thanks for watching and reading! And I'm looking forward to your comments!

Holodoc Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 No doubt it's your largest MOC, but the pics are also very large. Please check the guidelines, resize your photos (800x600 is best for viewing) and upload them again. Thank you. EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to comment on your MOC: Very impressive. Pleasing color-scheme, lots of details and 3 floors high. Well done! Quote
Mutant Orc Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Wow, cool! This looks great, and it'll be brilliant with an interior!! I can't wait to see it finished! Quote
Superfunk Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Very nice, this building is huge! Looks great! Of course, I love modern modular police stations! Quote
grum64 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Very nice build & great interior detail and you're right. It's BIG! Edited July 1, 2014 by grum64 Quote
finnbricker Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Pics resized. Sorry for that! Superfunk, I'm sure you love modular police stations Yours in very impressive, too, and my interior is never going to be as well-thought out as yours is. I'm envious Very nice build & great interior detail and you're right. It's BIG! Yeah, it's big! It's going to sit on one side of the city square, with a double-sized GE opposite to it.

lightningtiger Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Excellent modular police station 'finnbricker'.......keep them coming and Brick On ! Quote
TheCreator52 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Can you post this on the Lego Digital Designer? Quote
iammac Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I've thought about doing something like this for a while. I have the '08 and '11 police stations, but I can't decide which one I like least (and therefore, which one to scrap!) But I like what you've done with yours! Keep it up! MAC Quote
