corner toy store modular building with LEGO delivery truck real world MOCs - finished 11/16/24

[Murdoch17]

This modular building-style corner LEGO store was heavily inspired by set 31105 (Townhouse Toy Store from Creator) while the LEGO delivery truck is modified version of the postal vehicle from set 10222 (Winter Village Post Office) whereas the sidewalk burger stand is directly taken from 60404. (City Burger Truck) The building also draws from some free Rebrickable instructions you can see here.

The building is a bit short in the height department compared to official modulars, but when next to my custom buildings it fits right in!

On this side we see the second-floor patio.

The lower floor is the shop's sales floor, and also has a enclosed delivery area off to the side. The shop sells all manner of Lego sets and pre-built models for sale. The burger stand's roof also is removable.

The second floor is a apartment, and features a bare minimum of features to sustain life, but it does have a gigantic Lego train layout in the corner. (somebody has their priorities in order!)

This truck is heavily inspired by the 1920s truck from the first Winter Village post office.

The doors on both sections open, and the truck seats one figure at the wheel. (Oh how I wish those rear doors came in yellow!)

EDIT 11/16/24:

Models finished in real life - pictures added, and text updated in the first post!

WIP update:

Progress so far on the LEGO delivery truck and some of the modular toy store's items. Everything you se here was found in the last six hours or so.

That looks amazing! Are you going to put "LEGO" labels on the truck?

Thank you @The Island Chronicles and the 4x4 yellow blank tiles are going to have LEGO printed on them, and the rooftop 8x16 tile will also feature a print. These are all being sourced from set 60440 (LEGO Delivery Truck). Also, the vintage vehicle and the inside details remaining parts are on order, while the building is in the 'finding parts from home' phase. Check back soon to see the real world progress on both!

Real world UPDATE:

Progress in finding part for the toy shop modular building. Out of the 1,096 parts I started with, I'm down to 729 left to go... this means 367 parts have been located in the last 24 hours or so. Also, the remaining truck / inside detail parts were ordered yesterday.

Nice. I like those smaller sets. Easy to build with your kid and nice to adjust for something else later on. I am trying something with that noodle shop. 

Like how your picking this one up with the loading bay and the truck. I saw a message that the PAB store will get items from that lego truck online this week. Maybe usefull for your moc?

Thanks for the kind words @LL1982! Also, I am actually picking those printed parts up from Bricklink.

I'm down to 585 parts in 90 types left to find for this build! I will hopefully be ordering the rest soon... as for the truck and inside details I showed off a while back, those have been finished already but they won't be photographed until the building is done in real life.

As you can see, some color swaps were made to the model since the last time I showed it off.

Thoughts?

...And now for something completely different: a LEGO train layout that goes on a LEGO train layout.

This specifically will go inside the toy shop modular building on the second floor, which will itself be placed on my LEGO layout once completed.

real world update!

Finding parts for this model has progressed to such an extent that construction can begin on the building itself. (This is about as far as I can go currently) I have only 491 parts left to find until this project is complete.

Update: two hours later, I'm down to 353 parts left to go, with over 25 part types less than when I posted!
