timmyc1983 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Hello, this is my first new topic post here, altho you may have seen me commenting :D Anyway, the reason for the post is my MOD of the Town Plan Cinema. I am quite a traditionalist and therefore have not made any drastic changes, i have just made it standard modular size so it fits in with the others, and added more of a back including a second screen. I have seen much better versions out there but i like mine :) Anyway, enough talk... The overall building The twin cinemas featuring the '50 Year Brick' and James Bond. And upgraded snack bar with Pick-n-mix and a fridge... MOre deatiled pics on my flickr stream here: Comments and feedback more than welcome :) Tim. Quote
Captain Settle Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Nice MOD.I especially like how you got 2 screens in there. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Nice mod and conversion to modular style 'timmyc1983'......Brick On ! Quote
timmyc1983 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks for all the positive comments :) much appreciated. Tomorrow i shall figure out how to add it to my town and put some pics up of that (if it looks good ) Quote
eurotrash Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 That's an effective looking upgrade you've given the Cinema! I like the fact you've managed io get two screens into such a restricted space. Good job and thanks for sharing it with us! Quote
Andy D Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Nice MOD. I've always liked the looks of he Art Decco Cinema, and I also prefer the modular, enclosed back on buildings. Your MOD looks like it could be a "factory" version of the Cinema, very nice. Could you post h link to your Flickr as well, the Flickr stream doesn't work on iPads. Thanks for sharing, Andy D Quote
tedbeard Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Could you post h link to your Flickr as well, the Flickr stream doesn't work on iPads. The pics are links. Quote
-Carson Haupt- Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Looks great!! I have to echo that I admire you for fitting two screens in!! Quote
timmyc1983 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 Could you post h link to your Flickr as well, the Flickr stream doesn't work on iPads. here's the link Andy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/timmyc1983/ hope that works for you. Thanks everyone, glad that you all like it... :D Quote
timmyc1983 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 I have now added the Cinema back iinto the town.. a couple of shots for you all Cheers, TimmyC Quote
CarrollFilms Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I love the extension and the cute little posters that you added. Awesome job! Quote
Andy D Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Looks good with your town, though I suspect it would look more integrated as a 2 story building. I forgot to mention in my first post that I really like your new movie posters a well. I think you may have strted something, now I am considering modulariing my Town Plan Cinema. Andy D Quote
timmyc1983 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 Yes i did originally think about a second story, the cost was the major factor that made me decide against, esp as the medium blue bricks are expensive and don't come any larger than 1 x 4s... I think i will keep a second story in mind for down the track when i have a bit more $$ (if that ever happens ) but the way i have added the roof on it will easily turn into a second story, i just have to fit stairs in somehow.... Thanks for the feedback all Quote
timmyc1983 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 Hello all, sorry to bump the topic but I have now added a second story on!! I was a bit disappointed with how the lower roof fitted in with the other modulars, so a second story has been added and it features a large IMAX style screen along with seating for 20 minifigs and a bar and refreshments counter! I've yet to put it into my layout but here are some shots: (more shots on my flickr stream) Here is an overview of the building And an overview of the interior, more interior and exterior shots on my flickr stream (link is in my sig) I hope you all like it and comment are always welcome Quote
paostmo Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 It looks even better now! I've always regretted not picking this set up. Quote
eurotrash Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Wow! Excellent enhancement to an already good-looking MOD. That additional height is definitely helping, but it's the expanded interior that I really like. Quote
medib Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 It a nice addition to your model.... good upgrade Quote
Dat Lego Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 It looks amazing 'timmyc1983'! . I like the interior and the fact that it can fit 20 minifigs and the exterior is perfection. Quote
Sir E Fullner Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Excellent work! Are you thinking of giving it a name? Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Great work 'timmy' on pimping your own creation.....even more realistic on the inside......Brick On 'timmy' ! Quote
Andy D Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Excellent upgrade timmy! I think my favorite is the interior, i really like the new screening area (looks like Imax) and lobby Andy D Quote
timmyc1983 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 It looks even better now! I've always regretted not picking this set up. Thanks paostmo, it's a great set, I loved the cinema before I MOD'd it. You'd probably be able to Bricklink just the cinema if you were really wanting it It a nice addition to your model.... good upgrade Cheers, medib It looks amazing 'timmyc1983'! . I like the interior and the fact that it can fit 20 minifigs and the exterior is perfection. Wow, thanks Dat Lego I really wanted it to be like a real cinema, so the two 'twin' screens downstairs and then the big IMAX style screen upstairs is like the big draw card (and because I have just bought the Palace Cinema, it needs a big draw card to compete haha) Excellent work! Are you thinking of giving it a name? Thanks, I haven't thought about a name yet, but I should, as the Palace Cinema will soon be its competition, so I will need to differentiate between them, or at least the minifigs will Great work 'timmy' on pimping your own creation.....even more realistic on the inside......Brick On 'timmy' ! Thanks LT, I was going for realism with the big screen and layered seating Excellent upgrade timmy! I think my favorite is the interior, i really like the new screening area (looks like Imax) and lobby Andy D Thanks Andy, I wasn't overly happy with the interior when I finished it, but I was certainly going for an IMAX type look with the screen... The interior seems popular so I like it now Quote
The Jersey Brick Guy Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 It reminds me of an art theater in town that plays the smaller movies that the corner cinema won't play. I love it. Quote
