This vignette probably took me about an hour total. I started out building it on one of those 10x10 bricks, with the corners that stick out and have pegs on them. (If you know what I mean. If not, don't worry about it.) Then I switched to a bigger base because I thought it needed more action. Enjoy!

The overall vignette:

The policeman. He's wielding a Brickarms SW500. There's a security camera on the top left.

I call this guy "Vinnie Slick." He brandishes an M1911 and a bristling 'stache.

The guy scaring the poor teller is your generic "Joe Thug." He's packing an M47, but a customized one with the clip sawn off to make it look less military/police-like and more like a hunting weapon. He also has a backpack.

The terrified teller:

The other teller, cowering behind her desk as the firefight rages.

This poor man has been wounded in the leg. (His check bounced, too.) He's clutching the... bathroom? ... sign. I'm not quite sure what I intended that sign to represent, but it's close enough to a bathroom sign. Also a good view of the tiled floor.

That's all! I hope you like it. I have another vignette coming soon, as soon as I get the pictures up.

Wow, thats really a good vig.

If we didnt have Brickarms, how would we know that pretending to shoot lego with plastic guns is actually pretty fun?

Excellent vigs. I love how you represented a real bank robbery in such a small space. The only thing I could suggest is if you had some type of SWAT team coming out of a van to assist the first officer. It looks just fine without it though. Great job!

I love it! I can honestly not find much wrong with this vig. It is executed wonderfully in such a small space! You are good at building vigs. Can't wait to see more of your work.

Thanks everyone! My original idea was actually to have the police officer bursting through a door or climbing out of a car - sort of like the SWAT team that many of you mentioned. If I ever build a van, then you can be sure I'll make a vignette like you suggested.
