I just rearranged my street to do this though I'll have to come up with a better solution when the next modular is released. Looks great!Let us know what you come up with for next one - still trying to figure it out myself... Quote
ponschbob Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Hi I had my modulars in a Billy shelf. After a move they are now stored in a cupboard because of too little space in my new flat. Therefore the picture is from 2012. Sorry for the bad picture quality. Quote

The internal width of 80cm-wide Billy is ca. 0.5 cm too narrow for 3 modulars. How did you manage to put GG, CC and GE on one shelf? Do the baseplates of CC and GE overlap? Quote

Adding lights in this way makes the modulars even more attractive!! Quote

That's why I rebuilt the pedestrian area between GE and CC. They also stick out of the shelf a little bit, because a Billy is not deep enough for a baseplate as well. I used this small overlap to connect the hole street, so that the minifigs could walk along the hole pavement. For this purpose however I had to cut small pieces of a baseplate and stuck them together with tiles. I used a old broken baseplate, so that was not too bad.

Brick-Surfer Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 One day I’d like to have one huge shelf unit that can accommodate all my modulars and MOCs. It should have at least three case boards on top of each other to display the models. One case board should also be able to carry (min) six modulars (32 studs) next to each other – so they preserve their street character. To prevent the models from dust it should also have glass doors. And it should also be able to carry MOCs on 48x48 base plates … If I find the time I make a draft and post it … Has anybody something similar? Quote

Ikea has the Galant Wall Cabinet that can fit 6 across (but has a divider making it 3+3), has glass doors (though there are handle cutouts that will let dust in), BUT it's not tall enough to fit the taller modulars.

SFmuscle73 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I'd like to see some folks display of their Modulars that incorporate Brick Bank. With four corner buildings we technically have a complete block! Quote
xboxtravis7992 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Here is the collection on Brickshelf. I'm running out of room :( http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/xboxtravis/Collection/img_20160103_214429263.jpg Quote
Kit Fisto Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 My collection Have place for 4 more, but actually, two, as I have to buy Detective`s Offcie and Brick bank Quote
fred67 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I managed to squeeze in 2 more (Fire Brigade and Detective's Office) onto my already cramped shelf space, it's really not worth taking another photo of it. Quote
MGCJerry Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 We only have 4 of them or so sitting on a walmart bookshelf with a few other basic city sets. Quote
LegoSjaak Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 and you miss the Market Street ofcourse... And you miss Market Street 10190 ofcourse.. Quote

Well, I don`t really miss it...In my opinion, it`s not "true" modular:piece count, huge gap if connecting it to the others, the fact it`s fanat`s, not TLG design...Probably I`ll go for bricklinking it one day. but not sure:) Quote
Willworkfortoys Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I use Detolf. A lot of people have a problem with their modulars not touching but each shelf can fit 1.5 modulars with the half being Pet Shop or a MOC 16 wide and still look like they're essentially touching with shelves side by side. You can also take out the side glass panels and have them actually touching as the structure of the detolfs is held up by the metal frame that holds the shelving, not the glass. I suspect you'd have a gap and dust may be a bit more of an issue but thats the trade off. They can also be lit very well with ikea lighting. This is what used to be in them. Just showing it for how they looked wired with lighting. Quote
legojeroen Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 In a big city layout ;) (Still old photo's without the Detective's Office) Quote

I might bricklink different colours of CC and GG, but MS has never been a thought. It is wicked ugly and and I'd rather used that money to MOC something useful in my "town". Quote
lwk Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Finally bought the ikea detlof for display Quote
Big G Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 My way is to put them on the floor so my 6 year old son can play with them. He breaks pieces off and it takes a few seconds to fix. Every so often I dismantle them completely so I can have the fun of building them again Quote
AlcoEmmen Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 IMG_1244 by Alco Emmen, on Flickr Finale got my buildings on display. Chosen Besta from Ikea lighted with Dioder lights... pretty happy with the result Quote
gotoAndLego Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 We currently live in a very small house so I usually build a set, display it for a bit and then break it down and bag it before building the next one. The benefit of this is if I don't have any new fresh sets, I can just build an old one again. Quote
Agent 86 Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 For those that have the Ikea Besta cabinets, is it correct that each shelf can only fit two Modulars? Quote
cebelicamya Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Can somebody make a picture of parisian restaurant and market stret together? parisian on the left and market on the right. I just want to see if you can expand the parisian terrace. Quote
Doge Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) My little collection, I was lucky I bought the GG when I was a kid in 2011, just before it was sold out Still hunting for the MS and CC though... Edited August 4, 2016 by Doge Quote
