What I did is I took the Haunted House and rebuilt it on a 16-wide plate. I cleaned it up a bit to look less haunted from the outside but it keeps its charms and dangers, should any unwitting minifigs wander in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickFit26 Posted January 9, 2017 I can definitely see LEGO repeating a 48 wide modular again, probably sooner than waiting for an anniversary. They could use another 48 wide modular to actually make some type of a hospital or clinic and use that extra 16 wide base for the ambulance to pull up and take patients to the hospital. It wouldn't be as big as the AS since the extra 16 would just be used as a entry/exit loading area for cars/ambulance with some kind of roof above it that connects to a 31 wide modular hospital or whatever other buildings they decide to go with it. Thats an easy way to get another 48 wide modular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I will take a picture or two, unfortunately I don't have a good camera (or lighting), but you should see the main things. And I am also waiting for a BLed shrub to finish the look (since the original one got broken). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickFit26 Posted January 20, 2017 What's the possibility of them doing a modular with a basement? Kind of like the PS had the crawl space, but an actual basement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Idk exactly, it can't be to hard since the PS had that crawl space and it looked fine next to the Pet Store. I guess it would really be a basement but a ground floor that is only accessed on the inside & not outside. The ground floor could be covered by stairs and a terrace just like the townhouse in the modular for the crawl space. If that makes any sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotoAndLego Posted January 20, 2017 They kind of did that with the first floor of Market Street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickFit26 Posted January 21, 2017 I forgot about the Market Street. It looks a little bit taller than the crawl space in the PS. I think they can do a better job and actually have a taller ground floor than what we see in the MS and PS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carefree_Dude Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Speaking of market street, I recently got it and found out that the "market" section looks amazing next to the Parisian Restaurant. I want to turn the roof of it into an extended seating/garden area. The balcony level of the Parisian restaurant matches almost perfectly. Also, the top level drives me nuts. in almost every instance, that balcony thing is pressed against a building. I want to rebuild it and make the balcony on the left overlooking the market, and the window on the back, leaving the right wall bare Edited January 21, 2017 by Goldenmasamune Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkles Posted January 21, 2017 Market Street is somewhat underwhelming from my perspective. The size is impressive but the look is out of place alongside the others that typically use the 2x2 and 2x3 windows with transparent glass panels and not the old 4x4 square opening windows. It looks like an earlier Creator set from the front and lacks the intricacy of future sets, plus the central staircase makes it poor for furnishing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carefree_Dude Posted January 23, 2017 Market street is such an odd thing. Like I think those tan pieces at the back of the buildings are meant to be windows? Why not just put windows there? I understand the central staircase though is so that you can not only do four floors in any order, but also turn each floor any way you wish. I also don't understand the weird side market thing. Like, what's the point of the giant gates if there is a big gaping walkway right next to them? I have trouble picturing exactly what it's supposed to be.

Supposed to be blocked windows, I guess. In Europe long time ago (1700s/1800s) they invented a tax for buildings, based on the number of windows. So sometimes useless windows were replaced by bricks. cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_tax for more info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kohlenstoff Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) I just signed up for this: did anybody notice that if the lego ideas "modular construction site" gets a real set, the 16-stud-gap problem would be solved.
