Le Marché - A Corner Department Store

 Inspired by Andrew Tate's Kahuka's Koffee, I decided to make my own scaled-down version as a corner department store.

Le Marché

With menswear displayed in the windows on one side of the ground floor and women's fashion options on the other, the exterior gives a hint of the fabulous finds inside. 



The second floor is loaded with housewares - everything from stand mixers and dishes. The top floor holds the furniture section where discerning minifigures can shop for the latest sofa, coffee table or bedroom set.

With a little work, it might have a place in one of my upcoming modular buildings,. I built the car transporter with two race cars. It was a quick build, but not particularly useful for modular city collectors since it is not minifigure-compatible.

I reused a lot of the pieces from the set, but added several additional pieces and the standard vehicle parts - doors, windshield, roof, etc. I also upgraded the tires and wheel

Lego plants for those without a builder's green thumb

It's always a challenge to make plant life look real in Lego scenes - even when you're using the new botanical pieces. Fortunately, the Lego Queer Eye Fab 5 Loft (10291) gives us several nicely styled potted plants that can improve any modular scene - in a living room or on the street.  This big pot of Lego leaves looks great in the Fab 5 Loft and even better, in my opinion, on the sidewalk in front of a modular building. With just seven pieces, it's a quick build and one of my favorite things! The Fab 5 Loft is now on sale at Lego.com for 40% off - just $59.99!
