Hello everyone,
I am starting a new challenge with LEGO Ideas.
I wanted to make the thieves' hideout from the LEGO police series bigger and more magnificent in my own style. I wanted to make a thieves' hideout that hides in a dark and deep swamp forest rather than a city.
I decided on the concept of living self-sufficiently in a swamp where no external force can reach, and I created the appearance and setting of the building using my own imagination.
I tried to express the old and worn-out feeling of the building as much as possible, and all the other equipment gave the feeling of having been remodeled by collecting old machine parts.
For example, the antenna and windmill on the roof of the building were expressed like that.
I also expressed their living space in detail.
The boss and his men struggle to survive in this old and worn-out building, transporting food and supplies with old trucks and boats, and generating electricity by turning the windmill. They also raise chickens and catch fish by fishing.
The Build
The building is built on the edge of the swamp and is surrounded by large trees.
Overall, the terrain is divided into the lake, the building, and the forest.
However, they are not separated, and they are all composed on one large base.
The building consists of three floors. Including the rooftop expression on the third floor and the garage space, there are five spaces in total. Each floor is separated like a modular, and the garage also has an open roof so you can see the inside.
1st floor
There is a kitchen and sofa inside where everyone can gather, and there is a warehouse used as a garage outside next to the 1st floor. And there is a dock toward the water, and you can ride a boat.
I also made boats and trucks as a means of transportation.
And to express the dark forest of the swamp, I expressed the broad-leafed trees in dark colors.
2nd floor
There is the boss's room and bathroom, and there is a hallway and stairs leading up to the 3rd floor.
You can see the inside of the bathroom by opening the side wall.
The boss's room's safe is full of money.
3rd floor & rooftop
There is a huge windmill on the 3rd floor terrace, and there is communication equipment, an observation deck, and a water tank on the 3rd floor roof.
Electricity is generated here and is always maintained by skilled technicians.
I originally liked modular buildings. I always make modular buildings, but this time I wanted to expand my idea by expressing the environment around the building.
It was a lot of fun to create a story with various settings.
I am sure that all other fans will like this story and setting.
Do you like this wonderful place and building?
I propose this idea and ask for your support.
I hope you all enjoy it and please support me a lot.
Thank you.
