Title: Flats WIP
Post by: David on February 20, 2018, 10:43 am
Here’s a MOC I am currently working on which I thought I’d share. It’s some fairly run-down flats and commercial units.

The interior is hollow with the exception of one small shop unit on the ground floor (the only one that is still in business).

I may add some lighting someday as it should look better to see a number of the residential units look as if someone’s home.

Probably won’t go any higher so the building is close to completion, just needs a roof. The little details and road, path work awaits.

Looking good, you have the derelict feel about the place nicely.

Now that the Booms back maybe your Lego officials could regenerate the area and with all the Lego police about it should be easy keep it civilised again

What's the black and white patterned thing on the corner?

LOL sorry, I was afraid I was missing something obvious :D
Is it on a part of the wall that's sticking out a bit? I think that makes it look like it's meant to be part of something else.

I was considering graffiti on the side of my pub but I chickened out of it!

You're right, it is sticking out (unintentionally). It's what happens when my 3 year old helper is in town...

Fantastic moc I love it. I love the shop, and the shutters on the other shops.
Hopefully the local minifigs are OK & feel safe.
