The Pharaoh Theater

After finishing my first Lego movie theater awhile back, I've wanted to build another theater with more ornate details. The recently released Lego Pharaoh's Quest sets inspired me to finally build one in the Egyptian Revival style that was popular in the 1920s and 30s. This particular model is somewhat based on the Bala Theatre near Philadelphia, which I have been to several times. The building features small storefronts to either side of the lobby entrance.

Everything here is official Lego parts, except "The Mummy" signs which I printed on label paper. Egyptian parts are from two Pharaoh's Quest sets: Flying Mummy Attack and Scorpion Pyramid. In the future, I would like to build a full lobby and auditorium for the theater, including a balcony. For now I just wanted to get the front of the building completed in time for the BrickMagic Lego convention in early May. Throughout the process of building this MOC, I took pictures with my iPhone. In a future post, I'll use these photos to show the evolution of the building.
