Gothic house modular building with red 1950s car - real world 76388 / 60408 inspired models

[Murdoch17]

This somewhat spooky, gothic-looking modular building was inspired by the tavern in Harry Potter set 76388 - Hogsmeade Village Visit, with a color scheme lifted from 75583 - Minions and Gru's Family Mansion. The car was reverse engineered from what I could see of the 1950's 'lead sled' in upcoming summer 2024 City set 60408 - Car Transporter.

I added a back half to the building, built another level, plus I put in a conservatory and a fireplace flue. I also changed the coloring to dark bluish gray with a black roof, from the original dark tan with dark gray roof. The building folds open on a hinge, and as such lifts away from the modular compatible base to allow for you to open the building.

The rear isn't that exciting too look at, but it does it's job well enough.

Inside the front of the building, the lower floor has a dining room, while the second floor has a well-stocked library. The third floor is the attic space.

In the back of the house, on the lower level we see the living room and conservatory. (this latter area flips open for access) Moving onto the second floor is the bedroom. (the black thing with trans-blue glass is a fish tank) Finally, the attic is located on the third floor and is mostly vacant.

The modular base can also be removed from the building.

I didn't have pictures of the rear (and obviously instructions were also a no-go as the City set won't be out until August), so improvised as best I could using what I thought looked reasonable for a fifties car. I managed to get 99% of the car built from one picture.

The rear of the car. Admittedly, I stole the taillights design from this old Hachiroku24 MOC.

The inside seats one figure at the wheel.
