Title: The Folding Food Court
Post by: Patrick on May 22, 2021, 04:11 pm: In preparation for restaurants reopening next month I built a MOC of a food court. Hope you like it.

No sets were harmed in the making of this production 😉 Sometimes I pick up random pieces on bricklink to add to an order

Opening with 3 areas rather than 2 gave me more scope for different themes.

The customer in the middle section upstairs looks as though he's stuck his head much too close to the flame-grill anyway!

Very nice build Patrick, love the fold-out-ability!

So much to see. I like the way it opens so you can see all the minifig activity inside.

Great stuff.

He was there to get a $10 coffee to go with his $1000 hair style 😉

Playability is very important in my house! Now that the kids have it, it will never be the same again … 😂

It was fun to build. I have it next to my computer now for when I'm bored on Teams meetings ... ;-)
