This model is revamped version of set 41134 (Heartlake Performance School) with parts of set 10217 (Diagon Alley) and a heavily modified version of the truck from set 75972 (Dorado Showdown) thrown together to make this classical styled bank. The time-frame is set in the mid to late Roaring Twenties, when gangsters like Al Capone ruled Chicago's speakeasies and bank robbers such as Bonnie & Clyde ran rampant across the USA. (Of course, the law was always at their heels, and eventually justice was served.)

This is the fourth version, which is set to replace my Gringotts bank model, which has become a sore spot on my layout as it's just too small. As before, this bank features a fancy entrance with Greek columns going up and creating a balcony on the second and third floors. The model features a detailed interior, and is open-able like a dollhouse to provide access to the inside. Also, the black 1 x 4 brick above the front door should have this BANK print on it. 

The rear of the bank has a second story fireplace flue. The model is open-able like a dollhouse to provide access to the inside, as you can see by the hinges on this side.

Inside the front half and on the lower floor, we have two tellers desk with spots for four customers total. The upper floor features counting desks, along with half of the the money-filled vault.

The lower floor on the back half features a staircase to the upper floor, a controlled access point to the behind-the-scenes part of the bank and the bank managers desk. The upper floor features the other half of the vault with the rest of the $14,800 in hundred dollar bills. (I transferred all the green bricks into 1x2 plates, then times by 100 to get that number.)

This model was partially inspired by 2019 Overwatch set 75972 (Dorado Shwodown) which I reverse engineered from a picture last week into the front half of the truck seen here.

The rear of the truck.

The rear double-doors open to stash valuables, the roof section comes off, and the driving compartment seats one mini-figure.

Thank you for looking at these models. Any comments, be they helpful, quizzical, or critical are welcome at any time.

Thanks again for reading!

Looks nice, but I think it really needs some more texturing in the walls, both inside and out.

Perhaps you could use some masonry bricks in the walls or 1x2 bricks with groove. The van is top notch though, nice job.

Thank you both for your help I'm working on texturing the walls as we speak. Thanks for the idea! (BTW: The van isn't my original design, as stated, it's mostly from set 10937)

First post updated with the new model and ldd file.

I have added a row of profile brick around the model. i hope it looks better now, but to be sure i have both models side by side in the first post for you to judge.

Thanks again for reading!

Sorry for the large bump, but the models (and LDD file) have been updated in the first post.... I hope you guys like it!

First post updated! (sorry for the bump!)

This time, it's got a new 1920's transfer truck inspired by set 75972 (Dorado Showdown)!
