The Holy Grail: Looks and Playability

Prohibition and the related Mafia practices seem to be recurring themes in some recent MOCs. Brickshelf user Jerrec adds this brilliant ‘Bank Heist’ playset to the Prohibition theme. It features a ‘roof entrance’, a ‘run down door’, and – no kidding – a safe with a working combination lock. But the best thing is that these play features don’t distract at all from the looks of this wonderful MOC. Check out the innovative use of minifig legs as decorative pieces above the windows and the way those woolen hats are used on the lights next to the entrance.
