Posted May 5, 200816 yr Hi there, this is my first post and well... this is the first model I am trying out in LDD. Cool little program! Anyway I'm trying my hand at making a bookstore for my city with a small cafe attatched. I am far from completed but so far this is what I have and I was hoping for any opinions and pointers? Things are just roughly in place now. The nook in the corner will be the coffee bar. Oh and yes it will be two stories tall.
May 5, 200816 yr Looks neat so far What will you use for books? maybe 1*2 tiles? Not sure if that would fit in the shelves tho

May 5, 200816 yr Very nice and a pretty cool idea too.... a bookstore with a neat cafe, I´ll have to borrow that idea for my town as well I guess.... Now all I´ve to think of is how to make an Ellen DeGeneres MF....
May 5, 200816 yr Author Thanks for the comments. Rethought the two floor idea, the price of bricks is just going to be way too high. So one floor it is. Took out staircase, in it's place I will add more of a seating area w/fireplace. I'm not crazy about the floor, trying to think of other ideas. Oh and I borrowed some ideas like the rack of mugs, hope nobody minds!
May 5, 200816 yr Author Sorry for all the pics... just having fun. :) Think I came up with a good looking cheap way to make alot of books. Plus there's a surprise book in there!
May 5, 200816 yr Very good. A nitpick on the bookcase color: The black color you're using for the bookshelves seems a bit off. Brown shelves seems like a more traditional choice. Is there any particular reason why you've chosen black?
May 6, 200816 yr Author No real reason. Went ahead and fixed it. Tore out the floor, remade the shelves and changed the color, and added a night drop-box window where the front right window was. Will do a picture after more work is done. Feel bad just flooding the thread with a picture for any little change.
May 6, 200816 yr Author Last pics for awhile, promise... just really handy having insight while building. Bedtime here in the States, so goodnight to all. Btw, it is at $95 USD right now! And the walls still need to be built, not to mention the roofing! Changes include: stairs gone, new floors, re-built bookshelves, fireplace, moved seating, night drop box for books instead of front window by door.
May 6, 200816 yr NO EATING IN THE LIBRARY!! I Liked the red/black/white floorboards the best, it looked at bit like my local library! I found the suprise book! But how are you going to do the roof? Won't it look a bit too tall because of the bookshelves?
May 11, 200816 yr Btw, it is at $95 USD right now! And the walls still need to be built, not to mention the roofing! Welcome in the expensive world of LDD! Your model is shaping up nicely, and it's really cool to see a MOC in progress like this! Good work! Dr. Brick
