6857 Funhouse Escape: Any interesting modifications?

[Scorpiox]

Hello good people of Eurobricks!

I have recently purchased the DC Superheroes Funhouse Escape set, but it has not yet arrived. It looks to be a very nice set, with lots of potential of modding. What I am wondering is this; has anyone found or carried out any interesting modifications on the set that I could perhaps replicate on my copy?

I'm asking about enlargements, editions and reductions to make an already nice set better to look at and better to play () with. I don't expect tutorials or anything like that - although that would be great - simply ideas would be fine.

Does anyone have any?

I was actually about to post mine later!

Anyway, I've tiled the entire thing with alternating green and red tiles and behind the Riddler's head, I added a little wardrobe area for Joker as I also made a load of alternate costumes for him. I'll do a pic later...

You could:

• extend the roller coaster rails.
  
• add more wacky funhouse stuff like a slide, spinning tunnel, mirrors, etc.
  
• add more death traps.
  
• add an office for Joker and maybe some sleeping quarters in the back.
  
• just watch some episodes of Batman: The Animated Series with the Joker in it. You'll get plenty of ideas from his hideouts in that show!

Someone named 'HayHay' made it into a modular, along with some of the other superhero buildings such as The Daily Bugle. Search for it, it's pretty cool.

This is what I did to mine, but I've since added a giant brick-built joker head to the top.

Yeah... I don't think I'll post mine after seeing that.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, comrades!

No, please do. Although beautiful, Sok's creation is huge and rather out of my spectrum.

More photos on my Flickr, link in sig. Sorry for the blurry photo, but I was didn't realise until I had already uploaded.

Ooh, I like the checkered floor.

I have to second the love for the chequered floor, it really makes the place look more interesting.

I believe I also have some large tan plates out the back somewhere, so perhaps I might try and add an additional room to the Funhouse. Something with living quarters for Joker and Harley, as a hideout with no-where to sleep is barely a hideout at all!

That's what I plan to do next. I was going to make a MOC of the Joker's office but I think I'll add on the the set.

Great thread idea by the way.

The set arrived today, and I must say, it is truly outstanding.

My first priorities are to try and do something with the area behind Riddler's box and start planning some additional rooms.
