MOC - modular medieval corner inspired by set 1592

[alois]

A couple of weeks ago my mother-in-law gave me an old 1592 Town Square set (Dutch version with 'soep en worst'). It had belonged to my wife, who never played with it. I rebuild it and restored it a little, and then i got an idea for a next modular building. A modular in medieval style, inspired by this set. Not a recreation, but with certain elements of this set. In a castle-like style, but adapted to modern times and fitted for a modular street. This is what I came up with:

It is the last remnant of the middle ages in my town. A former town gate, with the house of the gate keeper. But the gate doesn't have a road any more. Nowadays the space behind the gate is used as a little snack corner, where minifigs can eat 'soep en worst':

A view of the other side with the original sticker from set 1592:

The other side of the building:

The building attached to another modular MOC (bank building), to show the difference in size:

I hope you like it. There's more to see on my flickr-page.

Really nice!

I love it! Well done with a lot of details!

Does the house has some interiors too?

AWESOME modern modular take on that classic town idea.......Brick On 'alois' !

I love it! Well done with a lot of details!

Does the house has some interiors too?

No, only stairs...

[Wodanis]

I really like this idea. Great job and lots of outside detail too!

Superb! Very European - the roof and the timbered beams are exceptionally well done.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

[Chilis]

Love it! Got a feeling I`ve bin there before? :) Very realistic!

[SRT907]

Brilliant! Looks like a real beer house in a European old town..

Very cleverly designed, liked it a lot!

Well done, truly a beautiful building. Building a medieval house is on my list of possible future projects too, maybe I'll even model it after the one I live in :D

Nicely done. I like the roof very much. Those colors work well together. Cheese slopes are awesome.

The build itself looks quite good. I could see it fitting into a downtown or a medieval MOC layout. (although probably have to take down the ice cream sign)..

How rare are those stickers that you used?

[Venunder]

A great modular bank and food stall.

Soep met Worst How awesome this creation is. Great work here

[Scaevola]

That roof looks great! Is that dark red or dark orange you used for the tiles?

[alois]

The 'soep met worst' sticker isn't the original one, but a replacement from ministickers.nl (owned by Eurobricks member JopieK). The festival sticker however is original; the town square set I own had only one left of the original two, and since the replacement stickers are lightly larger and the original slightly shrunk, I used only replacements on the town square. That left me with one original sticker, used in this MOC. The shield is also a replacement sticker.

Soep met Worst! Yum!

I particulary like the grey brick structure, very medieval-like.

Soep met worst? not really a combination I'd like .

It is better than the LEGO mistake: "Soap met Worst" from the instructions (011.jpg)!

@Alois, nice job!!! And nice stickers ;)

[Lady K]

This is very beautiful. Reminds me of the little village in Germany where we lived for a few years.

[frogstudio]

Great idea and better execution! !!!

[emilstorm]

Nice roof, and the flower bushes are awesome. It's always funny to see new interpretations of old sets, a lot has happened since then :)

[Yooha]

The planks on the side of the 'soep en worst' stall is a good idea. How was it done?
