Posted September 4, 20186 yr "A Home for Anton" is my ReBuild of 21310 LEGO Ideas "Old Fishing Store" His fireplace is built into a rocky crop on a hilltop near the seashore ... Anton stores his fishing gear on his back porch ... Anton sleeps up in his Loft. Awake now, he has a cuppa Tea ... He hangs his favorite fisherman's sweater to dry near the back porch ... Inside, he enjoys his fireplace, while kitty meows for food ... He waits for his smoked fish on the stone grill while enjoying some Lemonade ... Resting on a bench in front of his home, he tells kitty to stop pestering the Seagull. This ReBuild uses only parts from the set 21310 -- if you have time, there's a few more photos in a flickr album, including one with the front wall off, roof up, and side wall open, plus one with the furniture items pulled out of his house. Thanks for visiting!
September 5, 20186 yr I love the view of the front facing the sea. It creates a beautiful rustic lived in feel, perhaps even more so than the original set did. I love the stone grill, it looks like something that a person who lives in a beach shack would cobble together.
September 5, 20186 yr This is a really lovely little beach house you made from the Old Fishing Store set. I love all the details you added, like using the printed sign piece as a fireplace mat or the Ship's Wheel ceiling lamp. Also, I happen to have an idea to make a similar outdoor grill/enclosed fire pit whenever I get around to converting my deck into a patio. It's also nice to see that you're still around... Good to see a familiar face coming back from my prolonged absence. :)

It's hard to build things like this to look 'cobbled together' without looking like a brick mess ;-) On 9/5/2018 at 6:25 AM, Dragunov2 said: Marvelous! Thank you!

Thanks for your kind words about the details; building with parts from 'only' one set for a ReBuild challenges a builder's cleverness in using just those bricks & elements. I love a challenge!
March 18, 20195 yr Have you considered creating instructions, or a Studio or lxf file for this MOC? I love it, and would love to build it (and would pay a bit for the instructions).
March 19, 20195 yr That is an excellent MOC! Have you used a single extra piece, and were there many leftovers? Is this the first of a series you will be making, or just a one-off?

On smaller sets I do use 100% when I do an alt-build. As for a series ... not sure if mean of this set, or in general alt-builds. I started in 2012 doing alt-builds for some new sets then. Sorry for only replying now, as I must have not rec'd notification of your post. :-)
