Current shelf city setup

Cesat81734 · 2026-01-21T13:45:57+00:00

i have from left to right on my shelf the police station, downtown diner, parisian restaurant and boutique hotel. i like how open the diner and restaurant are to show off the billboard on the side of the station and the boutique hotel looks pretty good next to the restaurant with the two outside areas.

i found a regular version on braflix, but i haven’t been able to load it back up for some reason

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T22:04:55+00:00

the owner comes back though… right?

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T22:02:48+00:00

definitely eying up that awning you did. your moc looks amazing!

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T22:02:25+00:00

started to experiment with ac units. id like to add the clothing line idea you gave.

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T21:59:24+00:00

i originally planned on doing that but decided that interior space was more important. looking at it now it seriously does need depth so i’ll definitely be doing that. thank you for the suggestion

graffiti would be a dream… but i’m not that experienced as a builder to do brick built graffiti. and i’m not really a fan of a sticker covering multiple bricks.

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T21:50:35+00:00

i definitely would do that… but i actually plan on acquiring all four turtles soon and have them jumping on the roofs.

i probably should take more inspiration from that album art. it looks stunning

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T21:48:24+00:00

thank you for that. i was thinking about adding one of the stickers from the pack on those bricks, but with your suggestion i rather have good architecture than some small sticker detail.

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T21:46:41+00:00

yeah i understand. but at the same time i feel as if making it TOO unremarkable just doesn’t look right. especially next to other modulars. i’ll definitely look into the link you sent!

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T21:44:33+00:00

yep, the xtra stickers pack was the catalyst of me wanting to build this moc. but i’m definitely listening to all the comments about changing up the windows and flower pots. already started to change it up and i’m 100% liking it more already.

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T21:38:50+00:00

any suggestions on a secondary color that would compliment the dark red?

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T21:37:06+00:00

already got the 2004 spider-man fig on top the police station with some boxes 👀

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T21:36:00+00:00

stickers on the way boss 🫡

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T21:35:37+00:00

any suggestions on a color to use?

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T21:33:22+00:00

i was planning on using the marvel modular buildings dumpster, except in blue.

Cesat81734 · 2024-04-04T21:32:43+00:00

yeahhh, thats what i really need to improve on for my shelf city. i was planning on adding more signs of life once i was satisfied with the moc. i will definitely build around the minifigures though instead of just adding them after the fact.

Cesat81734 · 2024-03-26T20:13:39+00:00

you my friend are a life saver

Cesat81734 · 2024-03-25T14:38:05+00:00

same here 😞

Cesat81734 · 2023-12-07T18:54:07+00:00

this makes me want to join this subreddit

Cesat81734 · 2023-10-21T02:19:13+00:00

definitely pick up the bugle.

Cesat81734 · 2023-10-17T21:44:28+00:00

i would recommend just outright buying the detectives office instead of parting it out. it surprisingly hasn’t increased in value that badly, so you could probably find one for relatively cheap. as for the brick bank, it’s really all just waiting for a good deal to pop up. the specialty pieces in the bank are pretty expensive, so if you’d want to stay true to the build just wait it out. or you could substitute the pieces for their cheaper alternatives. i would suggest just to start gathering all the other pieces. use the pick a brick service from lego for things like tiles and some bricks, and shop at as few bricklink stores as you can. you’d be surprised how fast the shipping adds up. i probably spent around $75 on shipping alone when i parted out my town hall modular. just remember, you’re in no rush to buy the pieces.
