eurotrash Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 MOC: Quality Hammers & Tools I had an idea of creating a advertising sign with a Lego Rosie the Riveter/MC Hammer mashup (please don't ask why) and I had to then create a building to support it. It's a Track-side Freight Station for Quality Hammers & Tools, Inc. It has brick-built sliding doors, a rear loading bay, a wooden covered set of access stairs to the second floor and a new (to me at least) design for a worn out roof. Here's the roof detail (so many plates!) I had seen a commercial product for a scale railway building and it had an effective looking wooden covered access stairs so I decided to see if I could recreate it in Lego. Here's the rear loading bay and a close up of the source inspiration for the entire building. Whole lotta Rosie!

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Very impressive use of the curved windscreen 8 x 6 x 2 ...I really like your MOCs Eurotrash! Quote
greg3 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Lovely looking build!! It especially like the covered loading dock and the enclosed staircase. Is there an interior? Nice work!! Quote
Kristel Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Looks great! Instantly recognisable as one of yours. Quote
THERIZE Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 So nice looking! I love the printed minifig on the side! Quote
Gongoro73 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Excelent as usual, eurothrash. As Kristel said, instantly recognizable as one of yours. Great roof, fantastic graphics. Quote
eurotrash Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Very impressive use of the curved windscreen 8 x 6 x 2 ...I really like your MOCs Eurotrash! :thumbup: Thanks! Yeah I got a bunch of these windscreens as a freebie from a prior public display and they immediately appealed as an industrial roofing material. Lovely looking build!! It especially like the covered loading dock and the enclosed staircase. Is there an interior? Nice work!! There's not currently an interior as it was built for an upcoming train display. I think that unless I can come up with something exceptional it'll remain empty. Instantly recognisable as one of yours. instantly recognizable. Am I that predictable? LOL! /shakes head slowly and goes to find a pile of Friends-colored pieces for my next MOC/ Thanks for all the kind words! Quote
Gongoro73 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Instantly recognizable because of you outdoor photography near a forest. ;) Quote
Man with a hat Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Oh wow. Another piece of art. I really like the clever techniques and brilliant use of parts. Quote
KlodsBrik Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 This house is looking really cool. This would look lovely next to any modular. Another great build from you ! Quote
