Bottom is spectacular, no notes. Middle is pretty good, maybe a bit similar to the bottom but you can't avoid that if using a reference. I would consider breaking it up a bit with a brickbuilt post office sign. Roof is a bit flat, I'm wondering if you could do something like some layered shingles using panels or flags to give it some depth and some little details like a birds nest or a gutter/drain. Overall really good though
Maybe you could also do a slightly different window design on the second floor to make it look less copypaste
buoyant flame
yeah, im not sold on the roof texture
i like that sillouhette
raised on the outer edges
re: second floor windows, i thought about doing a different middle one
maybe a protruding bay window
im going to keep the three windows and their widths to accomode the interior
two offices and a hallway
this is the inspiration
i know Lego tends to have different floor features
to create distinct visual separation
im trying to balance that with having it be inspired by the source
too much realism and it just looks weird
too much on the other end and you start to lose the source
I like that

Can you get the centre pillars
For the roof I'd also use sand green ingots and do them in steps to get a shallow slope, then slope them more dramatically so they look like plates more
buoyant flame
all the way up the second floor?
sterile moth
Yeah
buoyant flame
hmmmm
sterile moth
Just ideas though it looks really nice the way it is
buoyant flame
good ideas all the samde
i played with the taller roof thing for a min but didnt go far
ill try again
I do want to see about the roof
I don’t like how flat it is
I did 5 different iterations of the foliage in the front
Current post office project is gonna expire in 8 days
If BDP didn’t recently ban Modulars I might have posted it there

sculpted that roof part to countour around the front protrusions
works pretty well
buoyant flame
I will probably change the style of the front windows for the bottom or top floor
sterile moth
I think it looks pretty good but the roof needs to overhang it by a stud
buoyant flame
yeah, thats next on my list
just trying to nail down the windows right now
more changes inc
i need to set up my Lego designs to a repo so i can version it
😄
made the windows more uniform between floors except the middle one
like in the reference
buoyant flame
changed the back to have no window on the bottom floor
that shelf still stays inside the baseplate area
its a small unloading bay for mail carriers
buoyant flame
I moved the chimney to be on the left lower roof part
How does the drain pipe look?
Scale? Too big? Too small?
sterile moth
I like it
buoyant flame
Now the windows on the front are different just subtle
I’m gonna try and move the postmasters office to that middle room upstairs
Swap it with the mail sorting room
Attic level is where Violet Evergarden would be staying, if she were there
Good call on the roof. Looks 100 times betted
Might take that center part of the roof higher and at a steeper angle
To where it meets closer together
