Inspirational Modular and Castle MOCs

I recommend you to look at what they built before the actual model in minifig scale! I don't know why but I never thought they'd have built this although it's not at all unexpected...

Hmm, interesting launching point. Usually, most people try to scale down a creation and/or set.

Staff Picks of 19/03/18:

Wow, we've had four awesome modulars in only three days that normally I'd have chosen as a Staff Pick but I decided to not make anymore "Fresh" Staff Picks as the goal of this topic is to make discover new modulars. Anyway, enjoy!

This is jaw droppingly cool. Hard to even tell its LEGO from the first pic

All three of these are simply incredible, but Her Majesty's Theater is particularly mind blowing!!! I mean, while its exterior may be quite spectacular, the ceiling inside...  

Damn, excellent finds as always!

A really nice selection tonight but oh wow that theatre is spectacular. I have mentioned in the modular rumors forum how I would like to see lego make a modular theatre and seeing this has really made my day.

The interior is extremely detailed and at first glance doesn't even look as if it's made from lego bricks. Really awesome.

Exactly! Just look at some of these other shots!

Wow @Digger of Bricks I almost fell off my chair.  

This model looks huge and must be an awesome sight to see the real thing.

Check out her other stuff too! She has a lot that I've both seen and never seen before myself!

Ah, I didn't immediately realise it was designed by @JanetVanD she is a bit of a lego celeb in the UK. Last summer she took part in a reality TV show called lego masters with her son.

Not sure if it's available to watch outside the UK but they were both really good.

Her Plant Monster Invasion, Fortress of Solitude, and Tomb Raider displays have to be my three other favorites. I mean, dinosaurs amongst ancient ruins? In Lego?

two different mods of Ninjago City (into modular style) coming up and a few MOC modulars in thinking design with one basically ready to build but have to finish some of these other described builds and continue the very slow parts organization journey I've been on for weeks now.

Great, can’t wait to see

Thanks, you're too kind. I don't really use social media or cross-post or self promote, direct-link images in threads versus BB-code (no particular reason), rarely tag images and only post Lego stuff here on Eurobricks so those are probably all contributing factors. Its more for the love of building and just sharing with fellow builders than views or followers.

I see... It’s of course your choice 

14 hours ago, koalayummies said:

Edit or maybe my stuff is just not that great.

No, your stuff is really great! I think normally you’d have 200-400 followers on Flickr because of your gorgeous modulars and photos! Don’t forget that your Town Hardware and Town Bed and Breakfast are featured topics

The real question is what have you got planned? You've become a sort of City/Modular MOC encyclopedia, you're undoubtedly capable of some great building with all these ideas fresh in mind. Not to mention I'm sure this thread and the how-to-MOC-modular threads have inspired many others as well, even if many have seen some builds before they're always great to look at even more to get inspired. So what you got coming up?

You’re so kind and encouraging @koalayummies! That “City/Modular MOC encyclopedia” especially pleased me! I’m of course inspired by every modular I discover (because there’re quite a lot I discover with this topic). If you’re looking regularly at the Town Forum, you’d have definitely seen that I wrote many times, I love Art Nouveau and would like to become an “Art Nouveau Expert”  But Art Nouveau is one of the most difficult architectures to capture with Lego if it’s not the most difficult one. So I decided instead to give a try to one of my other favorite architectures: a medieval modular. It’s still in the very beginning of its progress, sketch. We’ll see how it turns out

From the third pic, it’s even harder IMO! It’s very easy to understand how it had five pages of replies 

@supertruper1988, @Bricked1980, @Digger of Bricks Here’s a gallery of this incredible theater, admire it!

Just been looking through the gallery and it's amazing. The last shot of the minifigs sitting in the theatre seats is just so detailed. I think this MOC sums up the title of this topic perfectly. I don't see how anyone could fail to be inspired after looking at this.

I also really like the little details on the exterior like the hanging baskets and plants on the lamp posts. Her brick built roads are also really good.

Looking forward to seeing this in the future.

Whoa, I remember marveling at that theater a long while back, thanks for digging that out. One of the most ambitious and well-though-through Lego creations I ever saw!

[Digger of Bricks]

Hey, I'd like to share this one speeder bike creation I just discovered by Jme Wheeler, primarily because it has an awesome complementary architectural diorama build that I really dig!

I’ve never seen this, thanks for sharing! Seriously, that color scheme rocks! Especially the uses of Sand Green, Dark Tan and Dark Bluish Gray... One of the best color schemes I’ve ever seen  The roofline and the round thing (I don’t know what it’s) are also beautiful!

The color scheme (its Sand Green and Pearl Gold, at least) most likely reminds me of @RoxYourBlox's Tall Tower, which is still one of my all time favorite architectural MOCs!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share some other really great threads where I post inspirational buildings that I don’t post here because the MOCs I post there are themed (such as Sci-Fi and Licensed). There are some other very inspirational MOCs posted in these threads even if generally they’re not buildings. Be sure to check out every single MOCs posted by everyone! Enjoy!

Thanks a lot for the shoutout, and for also bringing attention to those two other excellent topics! 

You know, I'm surprised these type of discussion topics have never existed on this forum before. The Ideas topic by @LegoMonorailFan was probably the first.

Millions of thanks!

Great to hear that! You can start with your own modulars 

You’re correct, I will need to make another special edition for 10.000 views!

Two questions off topic:

Do you have any upcoming MOCs? Can’t wait 

I’m really surprised that you’re not at all discovered on Flickr. Maybe you can update your signature to let people see what a great MOCer (and photographer) you are!

That would be a dream!

You reached 10.000 views. Well deserved and many thanks for all your work.

I'm looking forward to the special edition. 

[Digger of Bricks]

By the way, Instagram user Jeff Friesen has announced in his latest post, that he will be sharing instructions of his microscale skylines in a new book to be releasing this fall! Also, he's shared an image of slightly updated Steampunk architectural creation of his from earlier, as seen below:

Spoiler

 

Strangely, he usually deletes posts of the prior iterations of his micro skylines; so, while there's no longer a image of the first iteration of this Steampunk vignette, there is one that is seen as a thumbnail in this Year in Review post:

Oh yeah, this is simply the best selection out of the three, and you just can't beat that Monotone Hotel by @RoxYourBlox! But, all in all, another really great post filled with plentiful inspiration here! 

By the way, I saw your reaction to Filip Olin's latest modular over on Flickr, and I can't help but be just as enthusiastic! He's got some great mini modulars too!
