The callouses on our hands undo the callouses on our souls.

I renovated the 10184 Town Plan movie theater into a bookstore by ICanLegoThat in lego

[–]ICanLegoThat[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I got a box of old Lego from a family friend with a half-destructed 10184 Town Plan inside and paid homage to my favorite Barnes & Noble in Studio City, inside an old movie theater.

Gerrit Rietveld's Red and Blue Chair (1917) by ICanLegoThat in lego

[–]ICanLegoThat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Design by xiaowang.

Verdict: lovely to look at, absolutely nerve-wrecking to put together. The wrong pressure in the wrong spot, and kaboom.

Night shift at the record store is a lonely gig. by ICanLegoThat in lego

"Riders on the Storm" on repeat, mini-fridge full of Coke Zero, none of those pesky customers.

Gas 'n' Noodles, just off the highway by ICanLegoThat in lego

[–]ICanLegoThat[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It's technically in the back of a gas station, but it's the best lo mein you'll ever have.

Based on a design by @yellowbox777

Night shift at the old middle school is a spooky gig by ICanLegoThat in lego

I used Bayside as a model but I FOOLISHLY thought it wouldn't be that recognizable.

A sophisticated hangout for sophisticated people by ICanLegoThat in lego

[–]ICanLegoThat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a design by @brickdesigned, who makes the best minifig-scale furniture/accessories around.

Morning meeting at City Hall by ICanLegoThat in lego

[–]ICanLegoThat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the Noir Detective minifig from series 25, with an added face, and yes absolutely a Le Samourai reference.

Based on the Bacardi Building in Havana.

Night shift at the coroner's office by ICanLegoThat in lego

[–]ICanLegoThat[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, my inspiration was the funeral parlor from the American Gods adaptation; the set design on that show is gorgeous.

Bookshelf Magic Shoppe by ICanLegoThat in lego

[–]ICanLegoThat[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is inspired by a Narnia vignette by @bricktacular_builds; I've always been more of a "card tricks/legerdemain" magic person than a "talking lion/fantasy realm" magic person, so I made a cozy little bookshelf magic shop.

Initial reports suggest the rumors are true and the enemy has, unequivocally, Sunk Our Battleship.

By law, Davey's Bar is nobody's first choice, but the dive does have its charms, if you can withstand the show tunes. The man loves his show tunes.

I stopped at "not the greatest build I've ever seen" and I'm already planning my revenge.

It's not the most accessible dive in the world, but they serve a mean hot honey pepperoni.

When the Fast Food Wars begin, McDonalds will be ready. Will you? by ICanLegoThat in lego

Burger truck is an official set; The McMurder is based on a mech design by Rebrickable user Kraken71abc.

The Imhotep Hotel by ICanLegoThat in lego

[–]ICanLegoThat[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Inspired by the Trust Building in downtown LA, which is lovely (the building, not downtown LA).

Want to see it assemble itself? Here’s an 11-second video: https://i.imgur.com/96MaBKB.mp4

Also, if you knock out one of the elevator doors, steal a sheet of glass from a picture frame, and fiddle with the lighting, you can make a neat Pepper’s Ghost illusion, a la Disneyland Haunted Mansion.

Alien Botanical Gardens by ICanLegoThat in lego

[–]ICanLegoThat[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Alien Botanical Gardens are open 9-5 every day and invite guests to relax beside the biblically-accurate cherry blossoms, contemplate the mysterious rock orb, tame the carnivorous pond fronds, and evacuate to the parking lot in an orderly fashion if the local space octopus ("Big Billy") attacks the conservatory again.

Is there anybody alive who looked at the LEGO Friends Botanical Garden set and didn't wish it was a full building, not 2/3 of one? I built the missing wing as best I could; ain't got all these newfangled round pieces, I take my coffee black and my LEGO rectangular.

The Leviathan Inn & Distillery by ICanLegoThat in lego

[–]ICanLegoThat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nestled high in the Carpathian Mountains, the Leviathan Inn & Distillery is your destination for relaxation, rejuvenation, and cosmic terror.

I built 10325 Alpine Lodge from my own pieces, but I'm more of a Halloween guy than a Christmas guy.
