MOC: Green Cafe Corner

[BlueBard]

Hi everybody!

It has been too long since the last time I post a proper MOC ( job+ exams + university works doesn't lend much time for MOCing ) but finally I got a bit of free time and here it is, the seventh buildingfor my City Display: the Green Cafe!

I know I already had a topic for these MOCs but finally I decided to open a newone as it would be easier to find it instead of looking for the last update in the old one.

As usual the whole gallery can be seen here (flickr) or (more) here (brickshelf, when moderated).

I hope you like it! Comments are welcome!

Great job! Wasn't this supposed to be a Starbucks, or is this the wrong one? Either way, it looks awesome. I love the awnings, and the red and black really contrast well with the green

[BlueBard]

Thanks!

Actually, I had the idea of "green+B&W" because of Starbucks colour pattern but I never said it would be one!

[Lord Arjay]

Very nice BlueBard!

As prateek noted the colour scheme used is very eye-catching.

Lovely design, well done!

[mikey]

this looks great, and you have filled it full of life. the artist upstairs is a great touch. but just one question, why did you choose to use a flesh face for the waitress serving at the counter?

[BlueBard]

Thanks!

Why not? I like mixing all kind of Lego skins

Looks great!! I especially like the little alleyway... and the artist is a great idea... nice work!

[squiz]

amazing moc, really like the attention to detail. The artist especially, i like how the blue paint on his paint pallet is smooth compared to the other paints as that is the one he is using!

[ACCURATEin]

Amazing MOC and awesome photos! Keep up the good work.

[BlueBard]

Thanks, people, for your nice comments!

[wooootles]

Love how you can pack so much details in that tight space. Thats why your stuff inspires me

[lightningtiger]

AWESOME 'BlueBard' just AWESOME from you again !

Beautiful green building with excellent details right down to the small exhaust fan on the rear of the building !

Nice minifigs too - Mr Krabs turned human !

Great work always from you and I'm a conformist! 'BlueBard' I'm a conformist! !

[BlueBard]

Thanks for your comments!

I just loved the "fatty" looking this torso has

[Redcross]

For me your talent lies in bold use of colour, that may not be thought of as obvious choices in combination, yet they work brilliantly. I think the black and white stripes are what really bring it together, once again seemingly simple yet so striking. Your building style is very inspiring and I hope to put away the tan and grey bricks for a while.

Good job! Great design and great techiques!

The interior is also very nice, and of course I like the fifth picture a lot

[Gunman]

great colours great details

[BlueBard]

Thanks!

Ah, another victim of the grey/tan mania!

The interior is also very nice, and of course I like the fifth picture a lot

Of course! What's best in life than a gigantic croissant?

Great work as usual, Blue Bard! )

I always love your highly detailed work, done with such care. In fact, it's the details that make a good MOCer an ingenious one.

looking forward to seeing your other creations!

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )

[mautara]

Well done! I like most the condensing on the back: a nice and new touch.

[LegoDad42]

Great work! Love all the details and that big smiley faced mini-fig cracks me up....he's like 'LOOK EVERYBODY I GOT A JUMBO CROISSANT!!!'

Plus the artist and his easel and palette made me smile...well done all around.

[spade450]

Great work, as always! Love the color scheme. Lots of detail packed into a what, 10 stud wide building? Looks bigger than it is. Also like the hairy fig in the business suit -- Jerry Garcia sells out!

[Rick]

One of your best yet Bluebard. I really like the color scheme and the detailed interiors you managed to fit on a 16 x 32 base plate.

[Minifig Lecturer]

Very very nice, love the painter and stand :)

[BlueBard]

Thank you for your nice comments, people!

Who doesn't, right?

Yep, that was the effect I was looking for this MOC. Actually, in the first design it was just 8 wide and it was going to be a kiosk... About the hairy "businessman" it was a last hour incorporation, I was just tryning some new combinations for the new Mfs elements and what can I say? I loved this guy! And no, I was not thinking at Jerry Garcia at all

I'm allways glad to be blogged at CT!

One of those few green ones that work really well!
