Time for another update. The auditorium is complete...
I've reworked the decoration above the pros arch:
Added the ceiling of the auditorium, complete with chandelier:
The space either side of the auditorium is mostly filled with stair cases. The ground floor has a boiler room on the stage right side...
And the stage door on the stage left side:
The first floor has a quick change area SR (not really worth a picture tbh), and the green room SL:
The second and third floors are the dressing rooms, complete with showers and toilets:
And the fourth floor has the dimmer room SR...
While the SL side has a tech store, repair bench, and crew room:
The whole thing so far looks like this:
18,012 bricks and counting.
The next thing to tackle is the front of house areas.
I've been thinking about what to do RE the design of the frontage. In real terms, this is a small theatre, but in Lego scale it is a massive opera house! Kelpie suggested a while ago that we base the front on
The Old Vic, But it just doesn't seem grand enough.
Then it dawned on me. Without even realising it, what I've built so far bears an uncanny resemblance to The Palace... the original home of Les Mis!
It seems fitting to base the design on that. It won't be an exact replica, but rather, "inspired by".
If you are unfamiliar with The Palace, some good images can be found
here.
Quick question, guys: Do you thing I should change the flat areas of roof to black, or keep them grey?
