Kivi Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Having built several custom sized modulars for my dioramas, I rebuilt this Victorian style building into a full size modular. I decided to take advantage of Town Hall's large quantity of bricks in dark orange which is a perfect colour to re-create a brick wall building. As virtually all my houses were empty inside from the top to the basement, this is also my first try at making a detailed interior. Street view, with typical bay windows extending all the way to the roof. Some details of the facade. A small garden in the backside with flower bed and ornamental shrubs. The house is built of three modules: ground floor, first floor and attic. Ground floor: hallway, kitchen and living room. Kitchen with all the essential elements such as oven, stove, sink, refrigerator and dining table. Living room with sofa, fireplace, grandfather clock and TV set. Hallway with spiral staircase. First floor: two bedrooms and bathroom. Large bedroom with double bed, wardrobe and a small workplace with desk and bookshelf. The smaller bedroom is a child/teenager room. Bathroom with toilet, washbasin, shower and towel rack. The roof is not detachable and consequently the attic has no details inside. More pictures with details here. Quote
eurotrash Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Excellent MOC! Love the facade, but it's the interior that is fantastically detailed. There's so much to enjoy. I particularly like the kitchen, the textured rug in the living room, The L shaped sofa, the bureau, the bunkbeds and the shower. Great job, but blimey, I saw this and immediately though of an area in Leicester, UK ! https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Victoria+Street,+Leicester,+United+Kingdom&hl=en&ll=52.62491,-1.114597&spn=0.011072,0.065961&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=63.897228,135.087891&oq=vivtoria+park+leices&hnear=Victoria+St,+Thurmaston,+Leicester,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=15&layer=c&cbll=52.624911,-1.114584&panoid=gLwexe22Jmx46wnrLtfW1w&cbp=11,195.97,,0,-5.54 Quote
Bamos Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Very well done both inside and out. I really like the cabinets in the bedrooms and the central staircase. Bill Quote
Esurient Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Excellent MOC! Love both the exterior and the detailed interior! Great work on all the minis Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Great exterior but totally AWESOME interior 'Kivi'.......so much detail to all the furniture is just wonderful.......Brick On 'Kivi' ! Quote
The Dutch Guy Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 What a great looking house. The interior is absolutely stunning. There are very fine details and some great building skills. My compliments Kivi. Quote
Redhead1982 Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Great work, Kivi! You did a nice job with interior decorations. My favourite pieces of furniture would be the coffee table, corner sofa, wardrobes, and the desk with the bookshelf. Well done! Quote
jimmynick Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 That's a very modern interior you've put inside that. Well done on the bay windows - they look just right. Quote
Hoexbroe Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Many excellent details. I especially like the ship-in-a-bottle! Quote
timmyc1983 Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Very nice looking building with fantastic interior, my favourite bits are the coffee table, the shower and bedroom cupboards, all very clever!! Well done and happy building Quote
paostmo Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Excellent interior. The large bedroom with the red bed is my favorite. Those wardrobes are great. I also like the kitchen a lot. Nice job! Quote
Kristel Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 The facade is really nice, especially the seamless full height bay windows and the asymmetric roof line that can be seen in the image of the back of the building. However, it's the inside that really stands out for me. So many clever details and techniques - I love the wardrobes! The lime tiling is not something I would have considered for a kitchen floor, but it too looks great. Well done! You've been ... Quote
ER0L Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Great victorian! The exterior is excellent, but it's the interior that makes it outstanding. The furniture is very well designed, and I love the details like the glass containers in the kitchen, the SNOT sofa and the bottle ship, of course. Keep up the great work! Quote
Vincent Kessels Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 That's a great house with a beautiful interior, Kivi! The wardrobes in the two bedrooms are very good, but my absolute favorite of the interior is the corner sofa. Quote
Kivi Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 Thanks @all. The lime tiling is not something I would have considered for a kitchen floor, but it too looks great. My wife said exactly the same when she first saw it. Yes, it is quite bright colour for kitchen, but I wanted to make it different from the other rooms and as I already used light blue for bathroom and considered LBG to be somewhat dull, I settled for lime. And thanks for mentioning it in your blog. Quote
Mutant Orc Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 That is very, very nice. I don't think you can get get profile bricks in that colour can you?? Shame... Quote
