I don't build extra levels for the modulars, but I do like the additional Tudor elements. It's better than I could do, but I'd probably try to set the haberdashery back a little and reduce the height of the floor overall. But I do like it. It's incredible how people can come up with these things. Especially so quickly. Thanks for sharing! Yes, this is more aesthetically pleasing than the other MOC floor. I wonder how it will look beside the other medieval-inspired MOCs? Quote

hikouki Posted January 26 Posted January 26 And here we go... here comes the double MOC: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-209004/dejo/tudor-center-modification-of-set-10350-tudor-corner/#details I feel like the "Tudor" features are a bit 'drowned out' by increasing the footprint of the building. Perhaps the more modern elements are now more prominent. Though I very much salute the efforts of these designers and very much appreciate these 'super size' MOCs, I usually prefer the originals with just some minor mods. Nice to have variety on my Lego street. Quote
Mr Hobbles Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Lego just posted this wallpaper on the Lego rewards site, that can only be found through the new legobuilds instagram. It's pretty cool, and features all the lego modular buildings to date, for the 20th anniversary of Lego modulars (I think they're about 2 years too early?!) (Also, further proof that Lego considers Market Street part of the modular buildings line. :D ) Quote
kevin8 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Strange. They did not respect the angle nor the scale of the models. Some do not even look like on a 32x32 base even if taken from the front. Quote
Elysiumfountain Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Also the Brick Bank in that photo has an extra window on the right hand side for some reason? Quote
RichardGoring Posted January 27 Posted January 27 With all of the corner modulars, they've tried to do them at 45 degree angle, so you see both sides. But they've messed up Brick Bank, and just not bothered at all for Tudor Corner. They also appear to have squished the rotated corner modulars, so that they are the same width as a 32 wide modular, so the scale is all wrong. And made it worse by shrinking down some of the taller modulars. What a shame. It's just really lazy. Quote
kevin8 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Yes, very lazy and absolutely useless a poster like this. Quote
BrickFit26 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Those MOCs are really good. I really like the double MOC looks like it could also be some kind of ski resort in the Alps. Quote
Yoggington Posted January 28 Posted January 28 That poster was so close to being great, even just as something you could chop up to test layouts with. Harumph. For those who aren't opposed to MOC modulars, I spotted one on Rebrickeable the other week that I thought was.. okay. Not bad, bookmarked it as a possibility for the future and moved on. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-207051/rebricks/vinyl-record-store-psychiatrists-office/#details However, the designer video popped up in my feed, and I watched it right through. It's really well thought out. It's a definite add to my shelf city in the future. Quote

Lion King Posted February 1 Posted February 1 I think Jazz Club is the first to be a nightlife modular buidling. So I would love to see another life life building but it might be challenging. What kind of nightlife you would love to see in modular street? Quote

House edges without wood may exist, but more realistic they are with wood. User cimddwc did here a really great job: https://www.doctor-brick.de/threads/was-baut-ihr-gerade.601/post-326839 to correct the design more realistically. Quote
RichardGoring Posted February 2 Posted February 2 20 hours ago, Lyichir said: I would argue that the Palace Cinema would also qualify for "nightlife" (the boxart even had a nighttime setting like the Jazz Club would later). Agreed. Also, The Highlander in Detective's Office is clearly a bar, but only has the pool table and darts board. I'd say this is also more of a nightlife setting. And then Parisian Restaurant and Boutique Hotel have eateries and bars that, while used during the day, would probably be more popular at night too. And while Tudor Corner is showing breakfast being made, it's also clearly a pub, so would be far more popular at night. All of these are more multi-purpose than Jazz Club or Palace Cinema though, and I wonder if they will do as many single use modulars in future. Might not bode well for getting a truly nightlife focused modular. I mean, the last single use modular was the museum, and nothing remotely interesting ever happens in a museum at night... Quote
hikouki Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Fire Brigade is technically 24/7, although not a commercial establishment. Are Town Hall and Fire Brigade technically the only two non-commercial establishments in the modular line? Quote
Lion King Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Ideally, i would love to see more nightlife Modular like derby rolling arena, arcade, bowling alley,, seance, disco party, concert hall, etc…. Oh and Downtown Diner is also a “nightlife” modular. Quote

I've got all of them, and with the average price, I kind of wish I hadn't added them all up. LOL. Quote
hikouki Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Might anyone be able to recommend a cabinet for modulars? I am looking for a display case, preferably with a glass door. It would look great if I could have several modular side-by-side. I have an Ikea Kallax, with Wicked Brick panels installed. Of course, they only allow one modular per cubicle, and the Town Hall does not fit. Where I am at, Pottery Barn offers a very expensive cabinet, but most of the China-made ones from Wayfair and Home Depot seem a bit less deep to accommodate even the baseplate. Quote

Do you want extra room in front of the modulars to feature a road, or is the depth of a base plate enough? Do you want open-sided shelves so you can create a 'street' with multiple units against each other? And if not open-sided, will you place multiple units beside each other anyway? How many modulars are you hoping to fit on a single shelf? Do you want lights, or the ability to attach lights? Whats your budget? (Just roughly - is it tight, cheaper preferred but willing to spend, or lap of luxury money is no object) What country are you in? Quote
RichardGoring Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Racing Brick has a video review of 10362 French Cafe which some people thought might make a good modular MOC starter kit. He shows minifigures with it, and it's very clearly too large in terms of furniture, but I think the facade itself is reasonable. But it's expensive for a one floor facade to a building. Quote

(I posted that question not only for my own information but for others as well.) There does not seem to be a cabinet with glass doors out there that is deep enough for a modular and at least a single lane street. Perhaps there is an Ikea solution? Anyway, will send you a more detailed private message shortly. Quote
Yoggington Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I DMd Hikouki, but for the sake of anyone reading this thread later, the best fit I have seen for the way they wants to set is is likely the Ikea Regissor, example: If money is no object, the best set-up I've seen uses 'Store Counter Displays', but it can get expensive. Example: And last but not least, a fair warning to all that while Ikea's Billy bookcases seem to be perfect, they are actually about a stud too slim once you measure them internally instead of going by the docs. Example of the issue (and a hacked fix): Quote
