Title: Money Laundering Launderette
Post by: David on April 05, 2018, 03:25 pm

This is a moc that I've been working on and off for quite some time so I'm happy is finally completed.

The scene depicts the police raiding the Soap n’ Suds launderette, a front company for a crime organisation involved in smuggling contraband clone brands and dangerous addictive plastic substances among other things. An accountant who works for the gang and two heavily armed gunmen are deciding whether to fight or flee (presumably through the backdoor into the boiler room and out into the adjoining yard but who knows…)

A special thanks to Lisa for the great stickers given out at the recent Dublin meet-up. I used one of mine for the billboard and feel it added the overall City street look a lot, so thanks!
