Capn Frank Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) The coffee shop is finally open in Mulberry. I based this coffee shop from the one that's in my town that my wife and i go to all the time. Here's a link to the picture of Badger Brothers Coffee Shop. Here's a picture of the exterior: And there seems to be heavy security already at the coffee shop. I wonder why, there must be someone really important inside: Well that explains the guards outside, Dr. Sinister is in town and is talking to the newly voted mayor of Mulberry, Jared Black. Check out the espresso machine, the grinder, and next to the grinder, a platter of chocolate and plain cookies. *y* The barista is busy frothing a mocha for a strange looking customer. There's Captain Phred sipping his 12 ounce Mocha (he orders the same thing every time). He's not sitting in his usual spot in the other bay window, and doesn't look happy that some weirdo took it. Look at this guy. How is going to drink his Latte with hands like that? Oh well. Here's another look at the counter space. Against the left wall are flavored syrups to add to a drink. There's also a coffee mug rack on the back wall with a sink below it. What's this?!? Where did that chrome sword come from? Lego doesn't make swords like that. The weird looking guy is charging towards Dr. Sinister! But it looks like Captain Phred has already anticipated his move. The weirdo looks to see who's charging him just in time to get a face full of hot mocha. Looks like help is coming in the door. The weirdo drops his sword in despair and as soon as he regains his composure, realizes that Captain Phred has picked up his sword and two guards are pointing their guns at him. The assassination attempt has been thwarted. Here comes Mulberry's finest from the back door to cuff this mysterious character. Mulberry has no holding cell and wonders if Tabletown does. Dr. Sinister gladly takes this unusual character into his custody and has told Mayor Black the he'll keep him posted in the investigation of this new enemy. Edited February 27, 2008 by Hinckley Quote

Capn Frank Posted December 21, 2007 Author Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) Thanx zouave :-$ We are not provoking it, its all them. Exactly, they were trying to assassinate Dr. S. There's proof all over the first post X-D Pretty cool MOC and a nice story Phred!!! *y* But i see a lot of brown bricks that could be used for shipbuilding...... so start dodging cannonballs, *BOOM* :-P **dodges a cannon ball as it grazes my plume** Thanx Cap'n About the brown, you may have noticed a lack of brown plates (except on the front, top exterior) in this moc, or any of the other town mocs. . They're all being used for flooring on the constitution, the walls of the constitution are white or black, so brown bricks are free to be used whereever Oh dear.... 8-| my friend is gonna be giving me some of his....M3gAbl0ck$. That means some very graphic vig's will be coming! >:-) *skull* Awesome! *y* Looking forward to it Exobuilder. *sweet* P Edited December 21, 2007 by phred Quote

Capn Frank Posted December 21, 2007 Author Posted December 21, 2007 I guess they didn't realize, #1 you were there and #2 Dr. S is immortal. The main reason i noticed anything at all was because he took my favorite seat in the coffee shop, :-$ and that irked me. Plus he is funny lookin, some funny lookin ppl are hard not to notice. X-D P Quote
ExoBuilder Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Awesome! *y* Looking forward to it Exobuilder. *sweet* Got any suggestion Phred, right now, I'm suggestionless. Darn! I was gonna include your sig fig in one of my MOCs, but I don't have that torso! *sing* The main reason i noticed anything at all was because he took my favorite seat in the coffee shop, :-$ and that irked me. Plus he is funny lookin, some funny lookin ppl are hard not to notice. X-D P Yeah! Take a look at Sinner, he's a fricken walrus for crying out loud! :-D No offense Sinner. I don't think we'd all love you as much if your sig wasn't a walrus anyway! Quote

If i come up with good one i'm not able to, I'll pm ya ;-) You want you my sigfig in your MOC? :'-) I'm speechless :-$ Don't worry about the torso, just put me in something really cool looking if you want. X-D I don't have Dr. S' exact torso, so i use the one that Stauder uses. 8-| Yeah! Take a look at Sinner, he's a fricken walrus for crying out loud! :-D No offense Sinner. I don't think we'd all love you as much if your sig wasn't a walrus anyway! I don't have any Fabuland sets. Never even heard of them till i saw Copmike, Hinckley, and Sinner with them. I'd love to throw in a walrus with a blue bucket in some of my mocs :-D P Edited December 21, 2007 by phred Quote
iamded Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 A very fine coffee shop! I'll have to stop in next time I come through your town. :-D Strange Megabloks figure too, mine looks quite different. 8-| ~Peace Quote

Well, I don't have your shoulder pauldron either but I do have that face and hair, as soon as I get Batbrick's head I will include you in some of my EN stuff. ;-) I never heard of Fabuland before either until I came here.

Hinckley Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 This is awesome phred! It's so nice to discover your MOC talents. Thanks for sharing this with us. It's very simple yet detailed. I feel like I say that a lot but that's my favorite feature of good MOCs. You haven't tried to add too much and what's there is realistic and understated. I love the front door with the sidelights at 45 degree angles. That's an excellent detail. And I love the kitchen as well. The fact that you worked your EN forces in is pretty cool too. Mulberry must be inundated with clone brands. :-D Great job! Quote
Cyclone Titan Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Ya' know, before I realized that was Dr. S and the mayor, I thought that was the resturaunt scene from the 3rd Artemis Fowl book!(Only smaller) :-P I really like that, and the story was good too! Quote
Quarryman Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Nice MOC, makes me want coffee. Which I luckily have next to me ;-) The espresso machine is lovely *wub* The entrance is a very interesting technique, same goes for the mug rack on the wall :-) And it seems Dr. Sinister is doing a lot of travelling these days, must be busy work to be Secretary General of the EN. I guess they didn't realize, #1 you were there and #2 Dr. S is immortal. Oh.. and here I thought Dr. Sinister was immoral. Easy mistake to make I guess.. :-P Quote
Capn Frank Posted December 21, 2007 Author Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) Thanx Cyclone Titan A very fine coffee shop! I'll have to stop in next time I come through your town. :-D Strange Megabloks figure too, mine looks quite different. 8-| Stop on over, don't try to stop by on sundays though. It's not that the owner goes to church or anything, it's just when the own is able to catch up on roasting coffee beans. X-D Can you show a pic of him? I'm kind of interested to see what's different. The set that my "thing" came from was from 2001. ...Mulberry must be inundated with clone brands. :-D Great job! Thanx master of the Fabulands. :-$ The coffee shop is 100% lego though ;-) Lego and non-Lego don't mix very well, no matter what the other brands say X-D ...And it seems Dr. Sinister is doing a lot of travelling these days, must be busy work to be Secretary General of the EN. ... Thanx Quarryman :-) Just cause Dr. S has been doin a lot of traveling, doesn't mean he can't stop for coffee X-D P Edited December 21, 2007 by phred Quote
