Wodanis Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Excellent work. I really liked your main lobby. Did you use most of the bricks from the set or incorporate new ones? Quote
Only Sinner Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 This is a very well executed MOD right here. I'd say it's about 450% better than the original! Quote
RunnersDad Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Phenomenal job with the MOD. Looks better now than in original form, in my opinion. Quote
Superfunk Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 Thanks, everyone! @Wodanis: I used most of the bricks of the set, had maybe around 200 left over. And added about 600. Quote
__________________________ Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Very cool, might have to try this MOD on Pet Shop. Why don't you get rid of the wall on the movie floor? You could fit in a bigger screen and more chairs. Just cover up the windows! It won't look out of place for a theater. Quote
CityBuilder Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 I always wondered what this would have looked like as a non corner building, it looks better than the original. You should try doing this on other corner buildings. Quote
TheLegoDr Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Somehow I missed this when it was first posted, so thanks for others keeping a steady flow of comments to keep it relevant. I think this is a set that can work as either a corner or a non-corner. A corner Palace Cinema in the Country Club Plaza in KC, MO is just a blocked corner with no architectural detail really, so this Palace Cinema works well either way. I have considered doing this to this building also and I really like how it ended up being. I really love the lobby area and I will definitely copy your main stairs and red carpet tiling. I like the box office area. I'd make the concession stand a little bigger in my own version. And I think I will only have one set of stairs going up to the theater to allow more room for the viewing room and maybe make an addition little projector area. But overall great job here. I really like how it looks. I was really impressed by the official set at first, then I started to dislike it since it isn't in the same design as the others, but I'm warming up to it again. I have also changed the Cafe Corner into a reverse corner and I was considering doing a Green Grocer in a corner style. Just make the window area the corner angle. Either way, keep up the great work!

ER0L Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Great idea, very well executed. Especially the ground floor suits the whole thing very well. Nice job on this! Quote
Professor Brick Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 This is really really nice. I like it better than the original because it is truer to the midcentury independent cinemas that are slowly disappearing in North America. Quote
manueli Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Wow! It's beautiful! I have a misb 10232 set and i was thinking to follow your idea! But I'm in trouble with it because i need instructions and list to reach the loose part... Can someone give me help? Quote
manueli Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Thanks everyone for the nice feedback! I estimate that there are about 600 additional parts in the MOD (mostly from BrickLink) - mainly dark tan bricks, a lot of tiles and other parts for the details (stairs, windows, lamps, chairs, etc.). And I had some leftovers from the set that I didn't use. I Know that probably it seems strange but in the night i can't close my eyes because i'm always thinking about the way to build this mod! Please can you help me with a part list and instructions (or more detailed photos)? I'll pay you!

What you mean with "reverse corner"? Are you talking about an "L" shaped building? Edited January 10, 2014 by manueli Quote
dragofoscar Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 WOW. How do you know, which parts you need, before building. Do you build it on LDD? Do you have a list of the extra parts? I think I would very much like to build your model. Way more than the original one! Quote
TheLegoDr Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 ^Yes, it is an L shaped corner instead of an exterior corner. It'd be as if the block wasn't a through street, but instead looped around. It is really neat looking and different enough that it caught my eye. The downside with any of these mods is finding the right pieces to fill in the rest. As far as Palace Cinema, mostly you'd need extra dark tan bricks for the back. So just find out how much you need to get the shape right. Quote
Superfunk Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks again, everyone. I didn't do it with LDD, just built it and kept ordering missing parts from Bricklink. So there are unfortunately no instructions and no parts lists. But starting with the built original you should be able to work it out. The additional parts were mostly dark tan bricks, tiles and some tan plates for the bigger floors. @TheLegoDr: Any chance to see pictures of the reverse corner Cafe Corner? Quote
koalayummies Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 This is amazing, like others have said its just as good and in many ways better than the original. I'm going to give it a try once I build it the original way first. Since everyone is asking and you said you kept placing orders on Bricklink, maybe a list (even partial) of the additional parts that were ordered for your build would help. Though I realize this thread is 2+ years old now. But again, fantastic mod. Quote
