Is it a mosque? Is it an office building? Who knows! What I know for sure is that it’s BIG and YELLOW. This building appeared in IndyLUG’s GATS train layout in October 2003 and January 2004.



The building rests on 4 green baseplates and has a single entrance. All of the walls and roof are yellow, and all of the windows are black. The only deviance from the yellow and black color scheme is the baseplates, the 1 minifig inside and the computer on his desk. I had a whole lot of yellow, so I had to do something with it. The walls are all 2 studs thick, and the windows are mostly 1 stud thick.

The part that took the most work per piece was the doorway:



There’s a lot of SNOT in the doorway, and I was really pleased with the way it turned out. As for the rest of the building, it was made to be big and fast, but not very elaborate or detailed. Someday I’ll probably do a more detailed version of this same building. It definitely needs more windows.

I learned something about photographing yellow MOC’s with large flat walls: the seams (“cracks”, “spaces”, whatever they’re called) between the bricks show up pretty sharply. I didn’t consider this a disadvantage though, since the style of the building was sort of something from the first half of the 20th century when buildings were more bricky.

Here’s the link to the folder: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=69882

Oh yeah, if anyone finds out what this building actually is, please tell me. I’m just dying to know what it is that I built. ;)
