Hotel Chat Noir

[Hoexbroe]

***Update; 1/7-2011; Some more photos added on page 2.

Hi all,

Hotel Chat Noir;

Small french hotel around 1965.

The model is not made after any specific prototype.

MOC is minifig-scale, basically made to show with my classic vehicles, presented in other threads here on the forum.

The back-side is complete, but rather plain, so I didnt feel the need to show any photos of it here. Instead another photo from a littel above;

Bu-bye!

Very nice!

A lot of arhitectural details.

The "hotel" sign is a custom sticker?

The hotel is nice, but.. can we have some more pictures of the car? :)

[SAN]

Wow this is very nice job!

[Hoexbroe]

Thanks!

The "Hotel" brick is original! It´s a printed transparent brick from an ancient light-set. Almost as old as myself.

@Zeon; Okay, I will publish photos of the car soon! It´s prett similar to the red car used in my moc "On BIG moc", also published here...

Great hotel with a good-looking harmonious architecture. (There's no interior, I assume?)

And nice to see another of the ancient "Hotel" bricks after I used one in my little hotel recently.

That's really good, a lot of detail you managed to fit into such a small house!

Thanks; There is no interior, nor does it open for access. (I might install curtains in the windows, though)

The Hotel-brick; I think I saw your moc here (very nice!) -but I deny to have copied you. LOL

Edit; I tried to find the hotel with this same hotel-brick, but couldnt. I invite you to post the link to your MOC herem please!)

Maybe you missed it because it isn't only a hotel. :) Here it is.

One word.....EXCELLENT....a beautiful and very French Hotel 'Hoexbroe'. The car is very nice too, would there be an interior to the hotel ?

Great work and Brick On 'Hoexbroe' !

I have to say that´s a beautiful hotel with a great look. I´m sure it would look fantastic in a larger town diorama. Great work!

Really nice. I find it very impressive that you're so uncannily good at building realistic cars and at the same time you can build houses like this :) My favourite detail is the flag. It looks very good with the slope pieces.

EDIT: Would have been nice with a black cat somewhere, though!

The hotel is great - clean, but still well detailed. That car is truly excellent, although I am partial to any car with fins in both Lego and real life.

Another fantastic creation Hoexbroe! I simply love the classic 60s architecture of this hotel especially that inner corner tower detail, and the vintage car complements the build rather nicely. Brilliant job as always!

[F0NIX]

It is AMAZING!! I just love it! :)

Lots of details, and not too much either. And that small scale! (when I try this type of buildings they gets huge)

[Larrynautik]

This is a superb creation, the hotel as far as the black car on a sixties style. Good work !

[LEGO Guy Bri]

Great hotel 'Hoexbroe'. Wonderful architectural detail! Excellent work

[Hoexbroe]

Hi again,

I´m modifying the hotel; I´ve found a way to make it 4 studs longer in each section, by combining roof-bricks normally intended for corners and ends.

This has given some space for more decoration;

(The other part still has not been modified. I´ll post a full shot of the building when I get around to finish it)

The tower has been expanded from 4x4 studs to 6x6, allowing for better windows and...

...a black cat! (it´s painted, sorry )

I think somebody asked about photos from the back of the building;

-Not much to see, and the MOC wont be looked at from behind anyway...

Finally, a photo of the interior decoration;

-Ah, that´s right. There isn´t any!

[Pingles]

That is the nicest "car accessory" I've ever seen.

Great work!

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Wonderful MOC, it would fit perfectly with my station!

Very great work, thanks for sharing!

Nice hotel MOC 'Hoexbroe'. Lot's of nice details. Is the 1932 sign the same design as the Fire Brigade one? (Also shouldn't it say 1965? ) For some reason the back end of the car is just really bugging me, maybe the sticking out tail lights? I guess most old cars looks like that though...

The sign is NOT the same as the Fire Brigade one. I´ve seen in the instructions the way they wrote it. My method is more simple. I would even say more traditional...

There is nothing strange in using a building in 1965 that was build in 1932. I would even say that it is the rule rather than the exception.

The year on the building is to date the architecture and style. The actual date (1960´ish) is to date the car and the surroundings.

[Fires-storm]

Well done on this beautiful building, though it is rather a shame that it doesn't open I look forward to more work from you!

[L@go]

...a black cat!

Nice addition :)

[WhiteFang]

This is a very nice and outstanding piece of vintage looking hotel within France. I like the colour combination which was used for the exterior and the small little details at the front. I did wish for a grand entrance but considering it was built in "1932", I can understand why a door was used.
