Well would you looky here, he's ironically submitted another train station project to Ideas today! 

LEGO Ideas - The Train Station: Studgate

Well, that makes interesting use of big pieces... I wish the station wasn’t modernized though, it lost its beautiful architecture...

Really glad to see this thread is up and running again.

This looks great and think I prefer this one to his previous train station.

The train included with the model looks very nice too.

In light of Lego's release of 75810 The Upside Down for Netflix's Stranger Things, @Norton74's recreation of Hopper's cabin from the second season is definitely worth highlighting here on this topic!

Those quarter dome pieces crowning the station might be a hindrance for staff consideration, as they're long extinct parts...

LEGO Ideas - The Train Station: Studgate

Not a big fan of this. I don't think it really works (but I think that of most train stations that try to fit in the modular standard. As for @lookl's newest modular, it has some very surprising elements and some wonderfully crafted details, especially the gate and the other building's ground floor. The whole composition, though, looks a bit dull and quite boring. And thanks @LegoModularFan ! I've not really been gone, I've just not felt like posting that much, just a pesky lurker in the Town subtopic . I have posted an Architecture MOC on Special Lego Themes and it even got featured, which is something I was not expecting at all!  I am working on a new modular, which is still quite far away from completion, but I think that the idea I've come up with is (...once again...) very innovative.

Hey there, long time no see on this topic (sorry for reviving it).

While I remember you highlighting @kofi's debut modular over on the Modular Buildings topic just a little while ago, it hasn't yet been featured here!

One of the best modulars I’ve seen in a while. All the architectural details, NPUs and textures are top notch! I’m not sure about a few architectural detail dimensions but his modular is otherwise so good that these small details remain pretty unimportant...

So apparently I fell asleep while posting yesterday’s inspirational MOC...  Anyway, here’s a huge MOC that I found worth highlighting! Big isn’t always the best but for the huge scale of this MOC, there is quite a lot of details in my opinion! 

Also I should precise that the brilliant dome design is one of the main reasons I decided to share this!

This build by Corey Maxfield and Mason Hall was featured by ArchBrick a little while ago:

That’s interesting, I was sure I wrote a reply and sent it but, well, apparently not... What’s happening to me these last days? ? Anyways, that’s a pretty impressive looking MOC @Digger of Bricks! 

Here’s another impressive MOC, not size-wise but... I don’t think I need to write why it’s impressive, it’s obvious I guess...

Though it's not quite my piece-of-cake as far as Art Deco/Streamlined Moderne architecture goes, this modular by Patrik Skursky is still rather impressive:

That’s a pretty interesting looking modular... Not a huge fan of the color scheme and a few other details but it’s definitely got potential! Reminds me of... a lot of Art Deco MOCs, but especially @Nannan‘s newest beauty...

This modular built by an Instagram user you cited recently is really something!  

 

Yes, this was the reason for me to open an Instagram account, I absolutely needed to comment! 

I had just remembered this WIP find of yours from then, and I was surprised that its builder had never posted images of the finished build. 

[LegoModularFan]

Check out @Bricked1980‘s brilliant modular and please support it on LEGO Ideas if you want it to have a chance to become an official set like me! 

https://ideas.lego.com/projects/fa5635b2-3b10-42e7-b7cc-027744005b84

He’s got some other great projects as well like his Bricks & Blooms which is another brilliant modular and a very realistic looking traction engine which are absolutely worth supporting now that supporting project on Ideas is easier than ever! 

 

And who wouldn’t want to have these cute miniature steam machines and display them on their desk? 

Also this shot which shows his three models together is worth sharing to show how great they fit:

P.S. This project promotion post is not requested by @Bricked1980, it’s only me who wanted to highlight his inspirational projects!

This one looks great as well, I especially love the cars included as well as the great function of it:

What do you think about that project as a huge retrofuture fan?

ABSOLUTELY!!!  Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was one of the first of their films I grew up with, and this Ideas project would perfectly delight both Castle/Medieval fans and Disney fans. I mean, it is a landmark film for Disney being cinema's first-ever full-length animated feature.

Well, given its seeming leanings more towards both Atompunk/Fallout-brand Retrofuturism and Cyberpunk/Blade Runner-type Retrofuturism, it's admittedly not quite there up my alley of 1920's/1930's/1940's Decopunk/Dieselpunk Retrofuturism; but, nonetheless, I always appreciate any sort of representation for Retrofuturism as a whole whenever it shows up within the Lego community.

ABSOLUTELY!!!  

This doesn’t seem impossible at all, that project gained a huge amount of support in such a short amount of time!! 

Wanted to highlight two great new architectural MOCs in the meantime.

~Old Mansion by @Jellyeater

Love the atmosphere, the textures, the colors and the architectural details such as the entry and that big window!

Also check this massive brilliantly built castle by Michal Herbolt!

I've been really busy with work over the past couple of months so haven't had time to work on any new mocs. I am definitely hoping to start work on my next moc soon though. I've got ideas for a new modular I want to build and also another vintage vehicle I want to start working on too.

Why indeed I do!  

Yes, I was quite excited when it did finally achieve support, heralding the news on several pertinent topics here shortly afterward. Now, as for its chances in review, while I am hopeful, I can think of a few reasons they would unfortunately reject it, the biggest one being that it could possibly conflict with the Disney Princesses theme. But, even if it is rejected for any such reason, it still might find second life as one of Lego's annual Disney-themed D2Cs some time after the fact. 

Oh, speaking of Disney-based LEGO Ideas projects, have you also heard what strange fate befell @figura's Mystery Shack project?

I just L-O-V-E @paokus's latest submission to LEGO Ideas!!! 

LEGO Ideas - The Sewing Workshop

[LegoModularFan]

Reviving this topic once again because got bored waiting for the reveal of the new modular...  Not only because of that but that definitely has some impact on the reason I'm reviving this topic... 

3 Great Architectural MOCs that were recently posted:

-Buffalo Phil's Brick City by Paul Hetherington - Even though architecturally speaking this is not my cup of tea, I just love the colors and the some of the smooth details!

-Who live in this cabin? by mamax711 - Such an unusual style, I love it!

-Fallen Temple by @jaapxaap - The angle, the textures and the signs of abrasion (hope this is the right word) put this MOC into another level!

Some nice details on the ground and the first floor but the second floor and the staircase look a bit off to me... A pity because otherwise it's certainly a nice MOC!
