MOC: Bank

[Legoliner Pilot]

Hi everybody!

They other day I was quite bored so I decided to make a bank in the style of 7641 City Corner. Hope you like it!

On the outside we have a SNOT-style ATM, roof with 2x4 gold bricks and printed "BANK" sign, and a clear window. The ATM is this piece.

Another view of the ATM:

On the inside we have another ATM, a wooden desk with computer, panic button (), and money, safe with valuables and suitcases of money on top, and a jewel holder.

Close up with the safe. It even has a lock on it.

Contents of the safe...

Final shot with the Banker minifigure.

I love it! Nice and small with a modern feel; the few banks Lego made previously were similar. I like the maximal use of the 8 x 16 plate and the color scheme. Where is that ATM piece from? It seems too big for a minifig.

I believe this style is called 'Classic Town' or 'System Town' or even just 'City'. I hate how the proliferation of CC-style buildings is distorting the definition of Town.

The ATM piece is from this set

Although it looks big it is the perfect sized ATM for a system minifig. Look at my last picture to see a size comparison.

I do agree about the CC-styled buildings. The problem is with them is that you have to have more than 1 of them or it will look weird in a town full of facades.

That's an awesome MOC, Legoliner Pilot!

I really it!

The exterior as well as the interior look perfect!

You thought about everything a bank necessarily needs: an ATM out- and inside, a counter, a safe, jewels, bills, suitcases and a banker!

Only three thoughts: I'd put in one more minifig (either a female civilian or even better a bank robber), I'd add a glas wall in front of the counter towards the customers and a second floor with a bank office (where you talk to a banker when you want to know what you can do with your money). These are only three ideas which would be very nice to have included - but which are not absolutely necessary for a Lego bank.

I mainly like the many accessory you included and the interior in general!

This is really a set TLG could and should release!

Very, very well done! :thumbup:

Hmm... Good ideas! I will definitely add another minifigure, and a glass wall. I will also see if I can make a second floor. Thanks for the ideas!
