My Not Lego Police Station Modular MOC - Part Three

Hello and welcome back to bricksandfigs.blogspot.com, my blog about my collection of minifigures and MOCs.   In today's post, we will look at my long awaited, fully completed Police Station modular building.  I started this project back in August 2020 but didn't finish until now. Check out the initial build pics and progress updates, part one here and part two here.   Oh and before we get started, don't forget to check out my other blog its-not-lego.blogspot.com, if you get a chance.

Ok, let's get into it!  There's a look of details to look at both inside and outside, so I've broken this post into several sections, namely:  Exterior, Main Floor, Second Floor and Third Floor.   Warning! There will be a lot of pictures!

1. The Exterior

So if you've read my other previous posts about this MOC, you'll know that the police station is based off the Green Grocer modular building.  Major changes include the new red brown masonry bricks, and replacing the windows, door and signage from other building sets.  Original Green Grocer minifigures have been replaced with Police themed minifigures. 

About one third of the Police Station main floor is taken up by a garage bay which can be accessed from both front and rear.  Safety pillars and lights flank the roll-up garage door, which unfortunately doesn't roll up too well.  I think the slotted beams on both sides of the door are a bit tight.  I might have to add some lubrication or replace them altogether.  For now I will keep the roll-up doors closed.  

New windows on the second floor.

And on the third floor too.

The turret roof was raised up by one plate and the rear angle pieces were inverted to match the roof angle.  I might add a 1x6 plate to see if I can close up the gap more.

Here's an overhead shot looking down on the police station.

It's very subtle, but I redesigned the roof to accommodate the expanded depth of building.

The original Green Grocer had a small terrace on the roof but I decided not to retain it here.  I'll probably add a couple of A/C units to the roof later.

Here's the totally revamped backside of the station.  

The corner brick details found on the front of the building were carried over to the back.  The main floor extension houses a weapons room, which is accessible from the interior.  I'll have more pics of it in the main floor section.  The back walls of the second and third floors were shifted in by one stud to give it more detail.  Thought I'd have some fun with the third floor by adding the big picture windows.

The Market Street modular building provided the gates for the rear access to the garage bay and is guarded by this old school Wange police minifigure.  Time to take a look inside the police station.

The Main Floor Interior

The main floor consists of the main lobby, reception desk and one of two jail cells in the building.  Doorways lead to the weapons room and the garage bay.

A peek into the garage.

It's easier to see the main floor interior if I pull out a few walls ...

The jail cell is equipped with a cot and toilet.

Waiting area has a bench, water cooler and newspaper.  Police dog likes to make his home under the stairs.

Here's the interior wall added back in.

The jail cell.

This is the door to the weapons room. You need a special code to get in.

All the weapons are located behind another set of metal gates.   Let's go back inside and move to the second floor.

The Second Floor Interior

An interrogation room, mug shot room, staff room, second jail cell and a washroom can be found on the second floor.

The staff room includes a small kitchen, cabinets and seating area.

Toilet and toilet paper.

Sink, faucet and mirror.   

The Third Floor Interior

The third floor consists of a surveillance room,  police captain's office, detective's room and another washroom.

If I had some stickers, I'd fill up all of the display screens with surveillance images.

The detective's office is a bit cramped but there's room for three workstations.  There's a glass wall that separates the captain's office.

Here's the glass wall removed.

Some filing cabinets in the hallway.
