Hi all,
I’ve pretty much completed my first MOC of a building from Honolulu’s
historic Chinatown.

As you can see, some parts are the wrong color. If anyone has the following
in sand green (I think they don’t yet exist), that would be great: 1x1
technic brick with hole, wedge plate 2x3 left/right, wedge plate 6x6
Hopefully this is just the first in a series of buildings from this
neighborhood. Honolulu’s Chinatown is a historic district with many
interesting 1-3 story buildings from the 1920s and 1930s, reminiscent of some
California towns. They seem pretty amenable to reproduction in Lego....
Comments/suggestions always welcome!

This is very nice. It has a very believable feel to it, which I like. I
particularly like the snot roofline. It is just perfect in its architectural
simplicity. Definitely something I plan on copying.
The lights, the interior and great ATM are the icing on the cake here.
I am not a big fan of the studs on the awning. I am thinking that if you tiled
it, it might help out with the wedge plates not being available in Sand Green.
It would cover them up a bit.
I’d love to see you do a series of buildings!
Very nice.
Best,
Jonathan
