Kolonialbeamter Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 Ka-ching, fellow shareholders - and a classic ahoy, fellow BoBSers, I've gone land-lubbing for a while in preparation to get the Royal New Terra Company started, and this here is the first thing that came out of my endeavor: The RNTC School of Business in Breshaun The officials of the Royal New Terra Company meant business. Only a few weeks after the Duke of Vele had managed to gain the full backing for his plan from the High Council, His Majesty signed a royal charter for the company. Now, wheels were set in motion, preparations already made were carried out, and first ventures established. Among the first was the founding of a business school in Breshaun, hopefully soon enabling the RNTC to recruit its elite from a pool of qualified personal. For this purpose one of the newly erected upper class buildings West of Breshaun's harbor was purchased, fitted with a bell-tower, and equipped with the company's insignia. Now, all that was left to do was waiting for the school's director to arrive. About: This started out as a factory building, to be honest... but soon it became a study in half-offset-building, and it turned out to be quite good looking - well, at least from my point of view - so it had to get some more elaborate function. Coincidentally, at that point Bregir had just posted his Royal Society School in King's Harbor... aaaand voilà - business school What doesn't really come across is that the roof is actually shaped slightly concave - darn... 'cause that took a lot of time As usual, all could be build. The building itself, however doesn't have an interior - partly because of the hideous looks of the walls from the inside - and for the big part because I just couldn't be bothered Thanks for watching As always, C&C welcome Oh, this MOC is a starting gift for the RNTC. Vive le Roi! Quote
Kai NRG Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 Wow. This is pretty massively awesome - love the roof, and the bell tower too. Great architectural details as well - the white in and out offsets on the corners especially stand out! I really like how this has a sort of foundation/basement visible also - and that's a pretty neat carriage! Quote
Sir Stig Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 Nice brickwork throughout. Railings with the small urns are slim and elegant, as are the carriage. The door fits seamlessly in with the windows. Cool tree. And I can't seem to figure out how you made the flag. Quote
Ayrlego Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 Lovely building KB, a very impressive effort and a great start for the RNTC! Lots of cool techniques here I'll be studying closely - the windows especially! Quote
TitusV Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 Even withouth a concave roof, this is really awesome! My favoured technique must be the off-setted corners, these are really nice! Quote
Captain Genaro Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 Oh boy, looks like the RNTC will be staffed with experts (well, book experts) on economics, trade, administration, accounting, you name it, we've got it. Still, not sure I'd want to go there. That headmaster looks pretty stern. The build is also very nice. I'm particularly fond of the windows. The white trim is lovely as well as the small white semicircle above the window. It's great that you included the RNTC's seal on the building's façade (though I'm a little surprised you used Oleon's flag instead of the RNTCs). For improvement, I think the road could be done a little better. Perhaps some grooves from the carriage's wheels would help. Still, it's a minor point compared to the rest of the build. Quote
Elostirion Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 You are absolutely brilliant at LDD - fantastic, amazing, stunning, beautiful. Thank you. Quote
Slegengr Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 This is amazing, KB! This does not look like a study in half-stud offset, it looks like the example for all of us to study for half-stud offset! The corners and roof ends are beautiful! The windows and door fit in perfectly and seamlessly. The foundation/basement really adds to the build, especially with the different window styles. The fence around the courtyard is nice and that tree is especially nice with the flex hose trunk! The deck railing is wonderful as well. Nice technique for the bell and tower! Your color choices make this scene realistic and eye-catching. As usual, your flowing brick-built flag is excellent! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted December 22, 2016 Posted December 22, 2016 That is beautiful. Beautiful that is. And I wanna have one of those coaches! Quote
blackdeathgr Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 And this is how we do business the Oleander way!!! hehehe! Quote
Capt Wolf Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Another beautiful architectural build! Stunning! I will repeat what others have said: great window frames and offset corners, and I like that carriage as well! Quote
Garmadon Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Wow! Epic build, KB, half-stud offsets are always awesome, and they definitely are here! Beautiful color-scheme and architecture, and those windows, flag, and fence are lovely as well Quite a clever design with that carriage too! Quote
