MetroiD Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 I'm three for three so far, and I really do appreciate it. Yup, congratulations on making the Brother Brick and Brick Town Talk frontpages as well :] Thoroughly deserved! Quote
Freddie Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 That is simply a stunning pair of buildings you've built there! The design of it all, the details and all that. Well, wow! No to mention that it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb when connected to other modular buildings, but rather fits in instead, while looking pretty distinctive, tells how well designed it is. To sum it up, that is a most excellent MOC you've come up with there. Very, very nice. Thank you for sharing! Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Awesome Everything is in the same great style. The projector house and the curtains around the screen are very nice, just as the windows in the roof, and everything else. This MOC has an excellent sense of realism. Well done. Quote
Vaders_son Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Great build there, I love all the details in the interiors of both buildings! Quote
LegoFan03 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 WOW! That is FANTASTIC!!! I love both Galaxy Diner and Empire Theater!!! Both buildings should be next for Lego modular buildings. :) Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 WOW! What a beauty! I like the diner's roof and the second floor of the "Empire" ...the SNOT technique used for the stairs is awesome! Thanks for sharing! Quote
snaillad Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Well done, 2 great builds, love art deco, so this suits me right down to the ground! Quote
sonicstarlight Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 That indeed was the only possibility I could think of. You really made efficient use of the interior space. Thanks! This is the first build that I actually planned the interiors at the same time as the facade rather than trying to cram interiors into an empty box later (with mixed results). Here are a few new photos I just took that show the bathrooms better on the ground floor and the hallway on the second. Yup, congratulations on making the Brother Brick and Brick Town Talk frontpages as well :] Thoroughly deserved! Thank you! I'll admit that I completely missed the obvious Star Wars reference in the naming of my buildings until I saw the Brothers Brick headline, despite originally planning to put a Darth Vader minifig at the top of the second floor landing...

XimenaPaulina Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Absolutely amazing creation sonicstarlight! Every bit of detail is excellently done from the overall futuristic look, to the effective use of curved slopes, the smooth surface finish, and intricate details both on the external design and the interiors. Simply a magnificent work of art! Quote
Zorbas Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I don't think that there's much left to say, all the other members have excellently highlighted the fantastic details. This is truly an amazing creation sonicstarlight, well done! Your buildings look so beautiful next to the official sets. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Awesome diner and a stunning theater 'sonicstarlight' Terrific details on both. Great job on this build! Quote
hga09 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 This is a superb MOC in every way. The exterior design is fantastic and the interior is even better. I do hope that the folks at TLG see this and decide to bring to market as a "Factory" set some time in the future.... Quote
FishHead Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 This is outstanding! Outstanding probably doesn't even do it justice! I want to copy your design!!! =) Quote
migbarroso Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 The inside details are amazing. I also love the Empire sign! Quote
sonicstarlight Posted April 14, 2011 Author Posted April 14, 2011 Thank you all for your kind comments This is a superb MOC in every way. The exterior design is fantastic and the interior is even better. I do hope that the folks at TLG see this and decide to bring to market as a "Factory" set some time in the future.... Even thought Market Street is the red-headed stepchild of the modular line, I really liked it as a more entry level set (until prices skyrocketed). In fact, anytime Lego issues a survey I always say that I wish they would do another Factory modular. As much as I would love for this to be turned into such a set, I don't think it is appropriate - partially because the theater uses a few "illegal" techniques that I don't think you could diagram well or replicate in LDD, but mostly because it would cost as much as the rest of the Factory line combined Still, if you're reading this Jamie Berard, I willing to take the next flight out and help make this happen Quote
FishHead Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 This is most certainly worth being produced. =) Quote
S70KES Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 One truly amazing set of MOC's... Can't pick a favourite part!!! Outstanding work... Quote
Alibabo Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 You have my respect , its a really nice work. You have caught the feeling of these american buildings , one of the best, that i ever seen. Good job! Quote
malliemcg Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 That's just awesome! An inspiring MOC for sure. I love all the details it's just like a "real" movie theatre. Quote
Eating TV Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Wow fantastic work! I love the theatre, the seats and flooring. Great work on the diner, too! Quote
vorwand13 Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 This is amazing! I was thinking about making a Space Police III city landscape in this style, with a rough alien bar. Quote
gcanik Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 The movie theater is just epic in design and execution, the ability to fit so much detail into such a small space is really well done. Quote
Hoexbroe Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Love the Art Deco style. You´ve really nailed it! -Will go well with my own new petrol-station (still unpublished WIP)... Quote
Lego Man Can Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 That's all VERY nice! But my favourite part has got to be that diner! Quote
sonicstarlight Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) That's all VERY nice! But my favourite part has got to be that diner! Thank you for the compliments! I actually started a digital model in SR3D at the request of another member of the boards, but I got distracted with my next MOCs (which I am very close to finishing up) and kind of stopped after creating the diner. The tap pieces weren't working right so the lights on the front facade aren't on, and the pipe on the roof it too tall, but otherwise it is done. After my next MOCs are in the books, I actually want to start making instructions for some of my buildings, starting first with this and then my MMV inspired build. I really need to lay off the real bricks and work more in the virtual realm, for the sake of my wallet. It will probably still be quite a while before I have anything worth sharing, so please be patient. Edited June 23, 2012 by sonicstarlight Quote
