WOW as usual. Your mocs have been a constant inspiration to me for years now but
you never cease to amaze me. I honestly wish I naturally had half your
creativity. I look forward to "barrowing" ideas from this moc and the others you
have posted recently when I start building my new module this coming
summer/fall. see you at brickworld?
If I had to critic anything on this moc it would be the brick built sign.
Personally, I think a somewhat smaller font with something like “Tim’s pool” or
"Ogle's billiards" would give the building a more realistic feel. In this case,
I would use a sticker with probably a bold scrip font. If you want the sticker
to look lego-ish print, the sign on normal sticker paper and put a piece of
clear box tape over what you’re cutting out. It will give the sticker that shiny
look.

p.s I got the box tape idea from Brian Williams in 2001.
