I know a lot of you saw this MOC’s debut at Brickworld, but I figured I would
post it here for those that couldn’t make it this year. This is the 1st
National Bank of LEGO I created in the weeks leading up to Brickworld 2008. It
is built in the style of the Cafe Corner, but uses mainly pieces from the Green
Grocer set. As you can see, I am a huge fan of Jamie Berard’s designs.
It is designed to look kinda gothic and imposing...as a financial institution
should be. :-) I really enjoyed putting this MOC together and I feel like the
LEGO Group designers are really pushing our community to build at a higher
level. I know the recent set releases in the 10XXX number series have pushed my
building forward. Thank you LEGO for validating that it’s okay to build an
enclosed building! :-)

Ooh, that’s impeccable. I almost mistook it for a 3D render rather than the
real deal. I too am loving the modular buildings put out by LEGO and created by
inspired AFOLs. Great job!

Very nicely done! It definitely instills enough confidence to warrant a deposit!
God Bless,

I love it. Great job. It looks incredibly solid as well.
Dark bley and sand green work really well together. I like the solution to the
roof line at the corner of the building too.
The only thing I might have done differently would have been to add a foundation
layer of light bley maybe 2 plates high at the bottom/foundation of the
building. I think it would give another touch of realism.
Excellent MOC.

Thanks for the kind words and the great idea! I agree that a foundation layer
of light bley would probably set it off nicely. The good news is that (as you
pointed out) it is quite sturdy. Thus, adding a two-plate layer to the bottom
should be a fairly easy modification as I can remove the bottom floor from the
baseplate as pretty much one piece. As soon as Stacy and I complete our
renovations to the basement “LEGO Lair” I will give your idea a try. Thanks
again!
