Are you trying to tell me that you've never had an ice cream, with the mixed flavours of Orange, Bubblegum, and Blueberry ?!?!?!?! I didn't even think of that, I should have changed it to a nice neapolitan: Pink, Yellow and Brown. And now you've brought it to my attention, I think I'm going to have to !!! Thanks for commenting.
@@needfoolthings Well, England may no longer be in the EU, but we are still in Europe, and I have many memories of eating Strawberry, Vanilla and Chocolate ice cream, from a long block, in a cardboard packet, as a child in the 80's ! (my channel is still small enough for me to be able to reply to all my comments, it's normally between 2 and 10 a day, so still manageable, and it's nice to engage with people who've watched)
This is GREAT Jez! Absolutely perfect, well done. (The modified flower bed at the back is wrong way tho, hehe..). Now I´ll go straight down to one of my toystores nearby and buy a copy of this and do similar to your modification! Keep up the good work! Cheers from Bergen/Norway.
Yes, I spotted that I had built the flower bed backwards, when I was editing, but thought it was too late to do anything about it... I did wonder if anyone would spot it though, so well done... you win the prize!!!! Have fun with the set!
Not offended at all ! I’m impressed that you spotted it! You won the prize for the first to spot it, one other person has spotted it so far. I wonder how many will notice it in total ?!?!?!
Good job on this charming set. Got two of these on sale, going to modify one of them just as you did but with 3by3 light blue windows cause i don’t find them in white at my local Pick’n Brick Lego store here in France. Or even by 6x6 windows if the result is OK. Anyway Thanks for your always good inspiration !
Thank you for your kind words. I’m currently in your country visiting Disneyland Paris, so I will definitely be visiting the Pick’a’brixk wall in the Disney Village Lego Shop, while I’m here.
Okay, that's a nice posssibility to modify this pretty ice cream shop. But why didn't you expand or move the sitting space (on the dark tan plate)? In my opinion that sitting space is to close to the entrance of the shop, it could be also around the corner, where the greenings were before. I know, it wouldn't fit on that baseplate, you added. But it would be a much nicer place to enjoy the ice creams there then. And the left side of the shop could also be expanded with an extra room for the workers for preparing (for example fruits or something else). And maybe the backyard of the shop could also be used as outdoor sitting space (maybe with parasols or something like that).
Those are all really great improvement suggestions. For this MOD I just wanted to enclose the shop, without having expand it greatly, so that it still would fit on 16x32 MILS plate. I also try to make my MODS as simple as possible so that others can do them without having to get a LOT of extra parts. The greenery area is round the back of the shop, in my mind you wouldn't get customers back there, it would just be a staff entrance, so there was no other real space for the table, except on the pavement in front!!!! When I build my Lego city and add this in, I'll work on it some more. Thanks for commenting.
@@MinifigJez Yeah, I got this. That were literally my thoughts, which came up while watching your video. I've got this ice cream shop, too and when it's time, I will modify and expand mine, too. But currently I don't have and work on a lego city because of lack of time and space and, to be honest, lack of financies, too. But I consider your videos as inspiring values. Thanks for them.^^
Great job! I got this set for Christmas and I really like it! I made that same modification at the front with those tiles, and you did a really great job on the whole set 😁 But there is one thing that bothers me…. YOU PUT THE GARDEN BACKWARDS 😅
Many thanks for the compliment. I only noticed that I’d put the flowerbed backwards when I was editing! It was too late to do anything so I left it, and wondered if anyone would notice…. You’re the 2nd person so far!
@@MinifigJezif there’s one city set that needs this modular style so it can go into a Lego town it’s the Grocery Store. The fruit and veg crates and everything else up front is kinda close to the road.
@@mattbartels I haven't modularised it yet, but did you see the MODs I did to that set? You can see the video of it here: th-cam.com/video/R09R1BbFVL8/w-d-xo.htmlsub_confirmation=1
@@MinifigJez I’ve seen and a lot of your other city work but it’s missing baseplates with tiles so minifigs can collect produce to purchase without having to stand on the main road and perhaps 8x16 road plates for an extra parking space and a stretch at the back of the building and the bottle collection area.
No sorry, I don't have them in a list as I just sort of make things as I go along, and once I've work out what I want to do, I then film it. There's to that many new parts, so teh only thing I can suggest is watch teh video and make a note of the parts as you watch. Or work out the main parts and make up the rest from your own design/ideas. Sorry that I can't help you out further with this. But it's great that you are modifying city sets.
I’ve got it covered. Here’s the list. 1x2 flat tile (x7 dark stone grey and x2 medium stone grey) 1x2x2 corner tile (x2 dark stone grey and x1 medium stone grey) 1x3 plate (x1 white) 1x1 plate (x2 dark stone grey, x1 medium azure, x1 bright orange and x1 medium lilac) 2x8 plate (x1 white) 2x2 plate (x2 white) 3x3 tile with bow (x1 white) 2x2 tile with bow (x1 white) 1x4x6 glass door (x1 transparent light blue) 1x1 brick (x1 white) 1x10 brick (x3 white) 1x4x3 frame (x4 white) 1x4x3 glass (x4 transparent light blue) 1x1x3 brick (x3 white) 1x4 brick (x2 white and x6 light royal blue) 1x2 brick (x2 light royal blue and x2 white) 1x2x3 brick (x3 white) 1x3 brick (x3 light royal blue) 16x32 baseplate (x1 dark stone grey) 2x2 flat tile (x22 dark stone grey) 1x2 radiator grill (x1 silver metallic grey) 1x8 flat tile (x2 medium stone grey) 1x4 plate (x1 medium stone grey) 1x4 flat tile (x2 medium stone grey) 2x4 brick (x1 white)
Yes, definitely. The only trouble is that then it would have to go on a 32x32 base, and that's 16 studs of precious space being used up. When I eventually build the Lego city and this gets placed, I will have to revisit it, and decide what goes on the left-hand side of it, as if it's just a regular modular building, that beautiful curved window will be hidden. One solution would be to enlarge the shop by 8 studs, and then have 8 studs pavement down the left side... but that's a much bigger MOD for another time!!!! Thanks for commenting,.
@@MinifigJez Yes. I agree on all counts. Thank you for your kind reply. Perhaps make it fit as a straight storefront, and keep the window shaping on either side? There are so very many corner buildings as it is. They’re quite dynamic tho, so I completely understand.
@@garrettgarrett9365 You're welcome. My channel is still small enough that I can reply to every comment that is left (usually between 2 and 10 a day) so I'm always happy to reply! But if I understand you correctly, you're suggesting make the left wall plain (against another building) and move the curved window end, to the right of the door, facing the front? Which I think would work really well. I really like this building and until this, my favourite City MOD was the one that I did to the Grocery Store: th-cam.com/video/R09R1BbFVL8/w-d-xo.html but I think this one now beats it!
Why would you say such a thing?!?!?! I've never been so insulted in my life !!!!!!!! (I can assure you there's no off-brand Lego in my collection except for a cheap Chrome Gold C-3PO!!) What did you think wasn't real Lego ?
Of all their colors, they managed to pick the three most unrealistic icecream colors, excluding black. How do they do it, these geniuses?
