Brick-built Storage Building Challenge Creations

Brick-built Storage Building Challenge

We offered a building challenge that can be built as a storage box, a keepsake box,
a gift box, or other brick-built container of sorts.
Inspired by Suz during a LUG meeting activity, during which she built this:

Here are the creations built for this challenge:

Friendly Train Station

A purple train station that could easily be in the center of Heartlake City built by 

Anne-Marie and featured in a fan expo show.

A commuter train coordinates with the station, bus, and street-sweeper on the Friendly-colored
road of shops & homes. The row of modulars' color combinations complement each other well.

  This one straight across from the station is composed of Turquoise and Dark Purple.

Then we see a Light Aqua, Magenta and Bright Light Orange House.

Others in the row:

Dark Pink, Bright Light Pink and Yellowish Green House

Dark Purple, Medium Lavender and Lavender House

Lavender and Lime House

Although not in the row, her more recent Dark Blue and Magenta House seems to evoke the 

LEGO Creator line as it could exist in Heartlake City.

In case you missed the Passenger Train, here is a still image.

Enjoy and be inspired by more creations on her flickr stream.

Antiquing with Friends | Castle adaptation

This adaptation called "Antiquing with Friends" was built by Barbara for BrickWorld 2016 during The LEGO Group's "Best Friends" building contest.
Some of the North American fan events that participated also gave attendees the suggestion to re-make an existing LEGO set of other themes into a "Friendsified" version.

Here is an image of the inspirational set: Medieval Market Village 10193 from the Castle line in 2009.

This year's Snow Resort sub-theme are probably the closest of the Friends sets which look as if they could be near a Market Village setting.  Perhaps on the mountain-side of Heartlake City.

Naomi's Place

 

Naomi's Place joins a lovely long-line of townhouse style structures modified from their original set designs by Kristel.

Have you guessed the original set?

 Here is the original Heartlake Cupcake Cafe as reviewed by Kristel.

Here is a link to her Friends Street MOC displaying other past sets re-built into this style.

Hope you had Friendly Holly Days too!

Friends Chess Pieces

SuzEaton imparted subtle cues of LEGO Friends sets into these Friends Chess Pieces.

They were part of her display at Brick Fair and opposite some Elves pieces.

 Here is a close up of one, the King piece, imagined as Olivia's robot creation.

See lots more close up of the pieces and the entire chess board in the Flickr set.

Riding School MOD

Friends sets are so completely detailed from the start, that sometimes all that's needed is a "tweak" or MOD (modification) to the original in order to make a new creation.

LegoOzp has done a nice job of using two sets with modifications to become one creation.  It's a creation, yet still identifiable of the original sets -- Summer Riding Camp (#3185 from the Summer of 2012) and Sunshine Ranch (#41039 from January 2014).  Built together within the landscape and activity of the base created to hold the structures, it gives us a glimpse of life in Heartlake City.
Another set, Emma's Horse Trailer (#3186, also from Summer 2012) fits in just right.

The creek along side the ranch and under the bridge really adds to the dimensions of this setting! Be inspired and enjoy many more angled views and close-ups in the Flickr set.
