Introduction
This project began in 2014 and was finally achieved this year, the pictures taken in May. This building is the third from a serie of MOCs where I update old models from 60's and 70's to Town's rules, the first in presented in 2015 was LEGO-368-1 Taxi Station from 1976, the second was LEGO-361-1 Tea Garden from 1974 and today is LEGO-350-1 Spanish Villa from 1971. I've kept all the features of the set like the stairs, the tree and the arches. The only major modification to the set's design is the ground floor, there was a fence and I've put a window to enclose this space.
Presentation
We'll begin with the garden. It has all the basic features for a Town thee house: the mailbox, the trees, the bin and flowers. There are two minifigures, a man with a white cap and a girl with a blue T-Shirt and red hair.
In the ground floor, it's not a real room, it's more a storage area to store the bin, a broom and a shovel to keep the house clean and to keep this rare yellow bike securely. The habitants can also park a car under the arch. I've also added a house nomber with a 1x1 printed brick.
In the first floor is the kitchen fully furnished, with a coffée machine, table and chair. There is also a terrace with an umbrella and a deck chair to profite of the sun.
As you may have noticed, unfortunately, there is not ant bedroom or any bed, and the original set do not offers me this possibility to add another room to this house.
Scenery
In this scenery is my 361 recreation, the taxi from my 368 recreation, 6651-1: Mail-Truck post van and 6388-1: Holiday-Home-with-Campervan car. If my background would have been bigger, I would have placed my 368 Taxi Station.

Great reconstruction :) It is good to see the building recreated for minifig scale with correct proportions. You make those projects from 70s usable in town sceneries :)
This house presents nicely in your small scenery and would be great to have in any town. You could make a kitchen at the ground floor and bedroom at the first floor, this could work too. Nevertheless interior is well done, I like those blue cases with table and chairs. It reminds the kitchen pretty well. From where did you got this yellow bike? I haven't seen it yet, is it from newer set? You have more unique items like this umbrella or antenna. In summary, it presents great. Congratz! | |

Thanks! :)
I thought about making the kitchen on ground floor yesterday, when writing the presentation, but I've made the pictures in May. Maybe in the future i'll try it. The yellow bicycle is rare because of it it from only one set from 1998: the set 6420, a postman with a bike. This bike worth something like 20€ or more! And... I have two of them, but unfortunately, not the minifigures. I would like a blue bike, but it's an impossible mission, It worth the same price as a real one... :) I like this antenna piece, it's so fine and fragile, a day, I recieved a grey one and the proprietary didn't take care in the parcel, it finished broken in three... |
