Flower Shop Building MOC - Update

Hey there!  Today I'll be giving you an updated look at my Flower Shop mini modular building MOC which I first told you about back in the fall of 2017.  Here's the original post.  Since then, I've furnished both the main and second floors.

The flower shop has a total of six minifigures, consisting of 3 staff and 2 customers and a painter.  Outside the shop, here's one of the employees selling a pot of flowers to a potential customer.

There's a large flower box in front of the window and I added a few flowering vines on the front of the shop for interest.

On the second floor exterior, we have a painter coming to freshen up the shop.  I am Groot!

The painter wants to know why we are looking at him.

As you can see the building itself is a hodge podge of  different bricks, as discussed in my original Flower shop moc post.  I still haven't put in the stairs to the second floor yet, but this is where they will go.  At some point I will redo the back wall and provide the apartment flat with a larger picture window and exterior door leading to some stairs going down the street level.

 Currently, the space is occupied by one of the employees scooter and some planters in the back.

 Meh, not much to see on this side of the building.

Here's how the flower shop looks when separated.

On the main floor, we find a menagerie of plants and flowers.  Inside, we find the store owner and one of the helpers, as well as a customer buying a bunch of flowers.  I had all these turquoise coloured tiles from knockoff Friends sets, so I decided to combine them with some leftover sand blue tiles to use on the floor.  It was done as an afterthought, so a bit of a jumble there, sorry.

Here's a look at the flower assortment towards the front window corner.

Poison Ivy was released from prison and now she works at the Flower shop.

Some more views of the flower shop interior, different angle.

Despite the plethora of vegetation, there's still decent access to the back door which is covered in a large vine.

Moving up to the second floor, we find a small two room apartment.

 There's a living room with sofa, side table with lamp, planter and a big screen TV. The plants were provided by the shop downstairs of course.  Some prints on the wall complete the living room.

 The bedroom has room for a desk and chair ...

... and a comfy bed and side table.

 That's it!  Thanks for checking out my updated Flower Shop Moc.   Feel free to let me know what you think in the comment box below.  Bye for now,

I made a Mini Modular MOC from several brands of bricks.

Hi there!  Yesterday, I was going through some army related brick sets I have.  They aren't a theme that I've really gotten into.  So I did an inventory and I had an army base, a military Jeep, a combat medic ambulance, an assortment of motorcycles and several army minifigs.  Oops, I guess I should have taken proper pics of them before taking them all apart.  I started deconstructing them so I could use some of the green bricks in making a new mini modular.

And here's the final result.  As it turned out, I didn't use that many of the dark green bricks because I didn't want a modular that was too dark.  I ended up just using the army green bricks around the foundation and some accent pieces along the roof.  

The First Floor

With my limited amount of bricks, the best option for me was to make another two storey building in the same design as my Hsanhe KFE mini modular building.   Here's a peek at the first floor looking in.  As you can see it's still unfurnished.  I've used some of the green bricks as banding around the foundation perimeter and closer to the top.

The white bricks come from different brands, hence the colour inconsistencies.  I think I used white(ish) bricks from Megablocks (the worst, they yellow), some from Gudi and Sluban, and some from Enlighten.  I figure nobody is going to see the sides of my building anyways.  The one brand that's not in this building? Lego, lol.

 The front facade is borrowed from the Enlighten Sunshine hotel set.  The front and rear green doors are taken from a Hsanhe set I reviewed last week.

 Another look at the side reveals a lot of colour inconsistencies amongst different brick bands.

Like the first floor, the second floor is empty also.  The second floor roof uses black tile bricks from Sluban. I can tell because all of the Sluban bricks are stamped M38.

The Second Floor

 The green bricks around the windows are from the Lepin Parisian restaurant.  Some of the army green bricks made their way into the second floor as well.  Since I'm using several smaller pieces for the roof instead of one solid piece, there is a tendency for the bricks to arch upwards at the ends, oh well.

 At some point in the future, I have to add a staircase to access the second floor from the first floor.

 This is how the mini modular looks from the side.

 And this is how it looks next to the Hsanhe KFE building.  It's pretty much the same height and proportions.

Here's the mini modular in the streetscape with the other Hsanhe buildings I have modded.   I just wanted to show everyone that it doesn't matter what bricks you use, you can still have fun making little buildings such as this one.  It doesn't always have to be Lego.

So what kind of shop can I make it?  Please let me know if you have any ideas, because I still haven't figure out how to furnish it yet.   Thanks for looking!
