catbricks Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Howdy, new AFOL (former pre-teen FOL in the 80's) here. I wanted to share a MOC work in progress, using some old motorcycle shop parts that came out of the depths of my collection. I'm mostly happy with the color scheme, given that the bulk of my bricks are 80's era classic town, and so are pretty much limited to primary colors. I'm reasonably happy with lower and upper floors (pending some extra PaB arrivals for tiling), but that middle floor (in second picture) isn't working for me. Comments/suggestions most welcome!

Big Cam Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 It fits in very nicely with the other shops and buildings. Is the second level apartments? Or is it just a tall ceiling inside. Quote
catbricks Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 Thanks :) Interior's bare (and top floor's about half facade at this point - out of bricks!), but I was intending the middle floor (with arches) to be either office or apartment space... assuming I keep that floor at all - I may go rip it apart and see if I can't come up with something snazzier.

Big Cam Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Cool idea, that's kind of what I thought it would be. I'm not much of a MOC'r but if you are going to try to to add to it or improve it, do you think it would be possible to make it any wider? Or are your old pieces limiting you? Either way, I still like it alot, it fits in so seemlessly. Quote
Badsneaker Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Looks good. I would duplicate the 3rd floor for the 2nd floor. I often run into the same situation on a 3 story building. So I usually make the 2nd and 3rd floors the same. Like this pizza shop I made, I did the 2nd and 3rd floors identical. I think it adds uniformity to the overall building design. And this Police Station: If you have enough bricks and windows, try it and see what it looks like. Quote

Yes, or make the second store a little lower without the decoration above the windows. The ground floor and the 3rd looks very good! Quote
CommanderFox Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Nice catbricks! It fits in very nicely! Great job! CommanderFox Quote
Rick Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Nice job. I agree on the earlier comment on 2nd versus 3rd floors: higher floors are typically lower than lower floors, with less spectacular window decorations. Quote
