Svelte Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Following up on my earlier thread, here's the 3 x view of the 10211 Grand Emporium. All pics are links to highres flickr versions. One ground floor, 5 uppers: One ground, 6 uppers. The 10211 i is by far the best-looking compared to the other modulars when stacked to insanity: Some of you disliked the flags above the first floor last time, so this shot is for you : 2 ground floors, 3 upper. The middle section with that column doesn't bother me, I have to say. A very classy combination. Probably the optimum combination for easy display would be to add just one more upper floor: Three full sets in 'L' configuration. This really need more upper floors to look right *sobs* Overhead view. Big Brother is watching you from those billboards. And he doesn't look happy. Escape from the catacombs formed at the rear intersection of 3 10211s is still possible... just! Quote
CMP Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Jeez! How do you affored all this? Looks awesome, like the tiny alley that can form. My favorite is the one with 2 ground floors. Quote
Svelte Posted March 19, 2010 Author Posted March 19, 2010 Jeez! How do you affored all this? By selling off other stuff I'm actually consolidating my collection and focussing on Town/ Modulars/ nice Licensed themes at the moment, although you'd never think it from Modular March Madness. *waves fondly goodbye to those MISB Star Wars sets I would never have opened, and some of those Batman sets that go for ludicrous prices* Quote
gunm Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Wow, great work! I'm going to get me one GE one of these days, lol. Quote
metalandi Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 that's amazing how they fi together, no matter in which configuaration! i wish i could afford just one of them, you're really lucky Quote
Derek Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 You need to do a super street scape with like x2 or 3 of all the other modulars My Grand Emporium is arriving tomorrow! I can't wait! -darthperson Quote
prateek Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) Nice, but the 5&6 floors are just overkill. I like the L-Shape though, and I agree that it'd look best with 3 floors. I really want a modular building now! Edited March 19, 2010 by prateek Quote
jonwil Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Looks nice, I wish I could afford the Grand Emporium :( Much better piece selection than the Fire Brigade IMO. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 This looks just too cool ! AWESOME just AWESOME now - almost like Myer's in Ballarat ! Fantastic town planing 'Svelte' and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Svelte Posted March 19, 2010 Author Posted March 19, 2010 I think at this point the ideal version would look maybe like this: I don't think I'll get that far, myself A dodgy Photoshop job works quite nicely Quote
RileyC Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Svelte strikes again! Im loving the Modular March Madness the supre sized GE are just incredible and my new favourite definitely has to be the 7 story one. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Wow! Svelte strikes again with his Super-Sized Grand Emporium. Now that's GRAND! I do like that three-floor the best. Quote
Shadows Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Madness! I really like the 3x2 but that dodgy photoshop is pure Quote
Svelte Posted March 19, 2010 Author Posted March 19, 2010 that dodgy photoshop is pure Do you mean the model or just the Photoshop? And there I was thinking you'd be there to ensure I did 4 Quote
WhiteFang Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Svelte, you are just the modular inspiration craze! You are my model example! Quote
Shadows Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Do you mean the model or just the Photoshop? And there I was thinking you'd be there to ensure I did 4 I mean the resulting model, clearly you have to buy that 4th or your life will be incomplete. Quote
Rick Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Madness! I really like the 3x2 but that dodgy photoshop is pure Thanks for not using the Photoshopped image for the blog. Stacked six floors high it looks really out of balance if you ask me, so I'd have to go with two ground floors and three floors stacked on each. Although I don't think the official configuration looks too bad when placed side-by-side or even in an L-shape. But I guess I have to stick to my earlier advice: build a straight section out of your third copy. Quote
JimBee Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Maybe if you sell your house you can buy so many of these that you'd be able to make a full-size house. You're truly a Luxe, Posh, Grand Emporium Connoisseur! (The six-floor vertical is my favorite, although I think if you bought one more to add to the side-by-sides, that would be. Then you could have that escape-less catacomb of yours). *waves fondly goodbye to those MISB Star Wars sets I would never have opened, and some of those Batman sets that go for ludicrous prices* I could never do that.

Zorbas Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Svelte: The man who treats Modular houses like impulse sets. Great work for once more! I totally agree about the point you've made about floors stacking. GE in the best looking when creating a giant. I really love all the combinations you've made here and all of them look great. I know that the shape is not the same but to be honest, the tall version reminds me of the Flatiron Building. I still don't know why. Keep the expansion going! (I don't know if your wallet can keep up though.) Quote
awesomebrick Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 I really love all the combinations you've made here and all of them look great. I know that the shape is not the same but to be honest, the tall version reminds me of the Flatiron Building. I still don't know why! Hmm I think it's the general arcitechture and colours And by the way svelte thats beutiful Quote
Rick Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 I really love all the combinations you've made here and all of them look great. I know that the shape is not the same but to be honest, the tall version reminds me of the Flatiron Building. I still don't know why. Makes me wonder how GE would look with a different top floor with higher windows. Quote

I know that the shape is not the same but to be honest, the tall version reminds me of the Flatiron Building. I still don't know why. Great link! I don't recall ever seeing that building before and I can definitely see the resemblance With each Grand Emporium you get 2 upper floors, so it isn't a drastic an investment as stacking all the other modulars - that's why I kind of like it too And it's obviously selling well since it's backordered on S@H already and it's only been out a few weeks Seems like a big hit!

Zorbas Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 With each Grand Emporium you get 2 upper floors, so it isn't a drastic an investment as stacking all the other modulars - that's why I kind of like it too That's the great thing about GE. Not only you 're able to create a tall building without having to buy many copies of them but stacking the floors makes it look great too. And that my friend is called a jackpot. Quote
wooootles Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Grats for having 3 GE's! That's just sick. I like the 3-story version with all of them side-by-side. Quote
gladiator Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Svelte... I really jealous with you. You show me the best picture of 10211. Fantastic Quote
