Scrooge McDuck's Money Bin, 1 Killmotor Hill, Duckburg

This was my third – again very rough and sketchy – architectural exploration of Duckburg buildings, following Donald Duck's and Daisy Duck's houses. In this case, probably the most iconic and famous: Scrooge McDuck's money bin. The interesting thing is, my earlier question about the other two buildings – what they might have looked like if Carl Barks had drawn inspiration from contemporary architecture – led me, after a brief experiment, to the conclusion that Carl Barks had already created a timeless building. Unsurpassed in its simplicity and clarity. Therefore, in my version, I only added details that I liked, such as the railway track encircling the building, on which automatic gun cars constantly circulate. And in the airspace above, Scrooge McDuck himself, on patrol, in his armored flying sphere and mobile money bin. And the combination lock on the front, almost the size of a town hall clock.

Now all that's missing is the fourth installment in this series: Gyro Gearloose's house and workshop... I'll show you that another time. I promise.
