I see your Cafe Corner and Raise you a Green GrocerOriginally Posted by liegeprime
Finally got from Layby... technically not a January Acquisition, but hey, took me a while to save up for it.
NOw Im still uhmmin g and ahhing if I should start building it. I know I should else what's the point of buying it but I think Im gonna need a loooooooot of patience and time on this one..... still thinking WHEN Im starting
Got them a couple of days ago. Off Layby, and because I spent a certain amount I got that little boat free with them.
They are really really nice sets. The Cafe Corner has some great detailing, but its nothing compaired to the Green Grocer
The Cafe Corner is pretty much a facade. You have to decorate it yourself. The rooms are there, as a the stairs, but I'll have to fine time to play around with some furniture designs
The Green Grocer comes with some. You get a grandfather clock, a heater, fireplace, some flat parts for a rug and the back balcony has chairs, table, umbrella, hanging flowers and a bbq. The ground floor shop is completely decked out though. Couple of containers for carrots, croissants and bananas, as well as a big fridge with drinks.
The Hotel sign is entirely built. No stickers or printed parts. its done using white and transparent red bricks. really cool. And they have written "Cafe" into the footpath under the tables and chairs. Pain in the ass to build, and I didn't notice until I had finished it. very nice touch.
My only other gripe is that all the minifigs use the same generic smiley face <_<
Would have liked some variety, especially for the female minifigs. They did do a female smiley face with lipstick and curled eyelashes. I don't know why they didn't use them here...
I've been building them both in my spare time in between going out and working.
oh, and the bit about the entrance of the cafe, with the white skis. Best use ever
