Last night I started working on a Mini-modular version of the upcoming Cinema set. There's a Flickr account posted a page or two back that seems to have enough angles of the set that I should be able to get all the main details (unless there's a window or door on the very back).
After making the Mini-Pet Shop and Mini-Town Hall, this one is definitely coming along a little more smoothly. I should be able to use a few of the techniques that the Mini-Grand Emporium and Cafe used since they are both corner buildings as well.
One quick question I had about the set if anyone knows, but
what are the specific names of the two tan colors used on the Cinema? There seems to be a darker tan and a lighter tan, but I don't know the exact color names.
Once I get this one designed to my liking I think I will finally Bricklink the pieces I need for Mini modular versions of the Pet Shop, Town Hall, AND Cinema all in one go. Should save me on shipping at the very least. There honestly aren't many official sets that interest me at the moment, so it will be fun to put together these MOCs.
(I might also get pieces to expand my Minecraft set to be larger, like 3x3 moduals instead of 2x2).
Wow, that looks pretty great. Seems to be missing R2's eye, but it seems like it would be an easy fix to add it.
Unless there's a structural reason you can't, I would remove the grey 1x4 plate above his "nose" and the 1x1 plate above that. Then replace those with one 2x2 round black tile (maybe one of those 2x2 round radar dish pieces to get the "Lens" look). And if possible replace the pieces right behind it to blue so that it matches a bit closer.
