joopsta Posted October 15, 2011 Hi guys, I was thinking, since I have little space and 5 modular buildings next to eachother. How about "wall modulars"? So you only build the front wall of a house/shop. I was thinking a 4X32 plate (don't even know if that exists) and then build the front on it. After it's finished, you can hang it on the wall like a painting. And hang others next to it. I'm planning to make one in LDD, but I haven't got much time and ain't really quick with the program. Maybe an experienced MOCer can make one in LDD quick? Please let me know what you think of the idea. Grtz Joopsta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Locutis Posted October 15, 2011 They are doing the mini modulars I think what 'joopsta' means is a building that from the front is the same size as a modular building, so it's 32 studs wide. However, 'joopsta' mentions building it only 4 studs deep, so it would be a facad only. I think this is a neat idea, and I'd love to see it! Locutis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonicstarlight Posted October 15, 2011 It's an interesting idea, but you are going to need them to be more than 4 studs deep to do it right. Both the corner buildings will give you trouble for obvious reasons, especially the sign over the door of the Grand Emporium. Even the Green Grocer needs at least 6 studs because of the stairs in the front and the sloping roof above. If you do try this digitally, be sure to post the results - I think a lot of us would be curious to see them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think at least 8 would be the proper ratio, possibly even more depending on how the Cafe Corner turns out. Locutis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dennimator Posted October 15, 2011 This is an interesting idea indeed. If you choose to try it out, be sure to keep us updated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joopsta Posted October 15, 2011 OK, this is the basic idea. As you can see, you can just hang it on the wall, like a painting. (Don't really know if it will hold then) It's just 4 studs 'deep'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HighFlyer Posted October 16, 2011 Neat idea! It needs to be a little deeper though, so there can be more pavement/sidewalk to match with the other modulars. That LDD design looks good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincent Kessels Posted October 16, 2011 OK, this is the basic idea. As you can see, you can just hang it on the wall, like a painting. (Don't really know if it will hold then) It's just 4 studs 'deep'. You will need 2 studs behind it. First of all to make it sturdy, and secondly to make a background behind the windows. What about this: 05 Irish Pub - Front section by Vincent Kessels, on Flickr It's a bit deeper, but has the advantage of having room for an interior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joopsta Posted October 16, 2011 Looks great Vincent! I might try your idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
