Hi everybody!
15 months ago, there were 0 Legos in my house. I was lamenting about winter one day, and my wife suggested I should look into a new creative hobby. Little did she know the monster she was creating!
Anyway, after purchasing a couple official sets, I created this historical police station last summer. It is my first MOC! I built it and the surrounding street at the same time.
I envisioned it as an old police building with a modern wing. The old building is inspired by a real old police station near Wrigley Field in Chicago, which closed in 2005. The modern half is non-modular and is just a redesign of http://shop.lego.com...ce-Station-7498.
The biggest challenge for me was learning how to use LDD, how to translate that into a series of bricklink.com orders, and then how to edit -- fixing impossible builds or nonexistant bricks, re-ordering because I got the wrong stuff, etc.
I hope you like it!
