eurotrash Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Chinatown Streetside Market I wanted to build a street market for my Chinatown district. It would be somewhere where you could buy Groceries, meat, fish, vegetables etc. and so to give it the space it required I inset it from the road. Here's what it looks like at night when business is closed - it's a fairly unassuming facade and a garage door. The only hint of what it might be comes from the two empty shelving structures. And during the daytime the place is transformed! The two shelves are now stocked, there's a hopper full of leafy greens, an ice box for fish and two interior refrigerators. Although there does seem to be something with a very large eyeball in the ice box. I wouldn't get too close. One final shot. Thanks for reading. Comments, criticism and ridicule most welcome! Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Ah, an Asian grocer......nice one 'eurotrash'.....I like the plate work on the second storey.....that's a lot of plates ! Brick On 'eurotrash' ! Quote
Alucard1977 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Actually you would find stores that look like that in Chinatown in NYC. So I think you did a great job. Only thing is the green round elements. I know you were going for bamboo, but I think the PC has me brain washed that should be red. Quote

That's a Chinatown old pharmacy (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=107192) and I was aiming for roof tiles and the colors definitely got a WTF factor. For sure it's bright, but hey it's Chinatown and normal color rules don't necessarily apply! Quote
AirborneAFOL Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I love the facing on the upper floor (brick intensive but no doubt worth it) - however the aesthetics seem to clash a bit to me with the relatively "plain" lower level. Just my own tastes - but I'd recommend either reducing the degree of color-changes amongst that upper level, or speckling in some off-white into the bottom. Either way, great build, per your usual high standards! Quote
Gespy Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 this is constructed from an existing building? Because it looks very realistic. Quote
