Thanks everyone for the encouraging notes. Awesome! Saw your '5 Modular Building MOCs' post, beautifully adapted!

Hi All, Here's a Classic Style Hotel MOC that's I've had in storage for some time. I originally started this MOC with the concept of a Grand Hotel to explore classical exterior features and builds but somehow hit a creative block when it came to interiors. The Hotel features a working elevator, large lobby area, classical style entrance facade with glass awning, 2 rooms, a rooftop cafe with large balcony area and a removable skylight roof. Built on a usual 32x32 baseplate the Hotel MOC features standard connector pins to fit other modulars, as mentioned the MOC still needs some major interior work and floors so do pardon the somewhat minimal furnishings. Enjoy.

Thanks for all the comments. See your point now that I look at back at it. Thanks so much. The interior floor section is fairly strong because I placed a few long plates beneath so it won't cave in with pressure but the front balcony area is a little weak. Overall I reckon the entire base of the house could do with an additional layer of plates for added strength.

A LEGO Wind Turbine MOC and MOD of the LEGO Vestas Wind Turbine 4999. The original 4999 sets are not only hard to find today but expensive so we worked with what we had in our inventory and bricklinked most of the key structural parts which were the 9 x White Slope, Curved 8 x 6 x 2 Double part #45411 and Curved 8 x 6 x 2 Inverted Double part #45410. Since we were starting from scratch we changed the original scene of the restaurant into a modern seaside house. The modern and modest seaside house features minimal interiors with PF lights for both interior and exterior Here's a full overview video of our LEGO Wind Turbine MOC in detail with all it's Power Functions in action. Enjoy!

Possible new Speed Champions set? New FORD GT / Classic GT40

Couldn't take it, here's our go at the classic GT40. -
Hi Everyone, Just wanted to share our Auto Garage MOC. I really wanted to build a nice service station/ auto garage for the kids and town so I decided to build the entire structure on an X-Large Baseplate. The use of the x-large baseplate meant I could really go large and wide giving the kids a chance to really get in a play easily. The fun (and toughest) part about this build was to get the wide custom Garage Doors working and folding with Technics. The Gas Pumps were also a fun little build, needed to keep them small and minimal to leave space for cars to move in and out. Here's a full overview video of the Auto Garage MOC Hope everyone enjoys it. UPDATE: We've just uploaded a Step-by-Step Tutorial of the Garage Doors used in the MOC.

Hi Zeki, We've just finished our tutorial of the Garage Door, hope that helps!

Thanks and Glad you love it. Darling's House would be an awesome MOC! (source: 54disneyreviews.com)

Hi All Thanks! Sorry for the late reply, for the hinge to work they had to be placed right at the edge of the baseplate so unfortunately it would actually interfere when placed with other modulars side by side as most modular sidewalls are flushed to the edge of their baseplates as well.

Hi Moderators, Could I request the removal of the name 'LEGO' from my topic "[MOC] LEGO Victorian House Modular':) Here's the post. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=122676 Thanks in advance.

[MOC] Micro City with Subway Train Station feat. Bricktober 2015
Tobysan posted a topic in Special LEGO Themes
A little MOD/MOC we did for our Bricktober 2015 set. -
Hey Zeki, I'm planning to take some detailed shots of the MOC soon, will make sure I'll cover the Technic portion of the garage doors. I'll update the post once I get around to it.

Thanks for all the comments everyone. Hey Erol, Unfortunately I don't have a flickr account, and you're right the Auto Garage does have the Aral look and colors, what a coincidence:)

Hi All, We recently picked up the LEGO City Fire Station 60004! It's pretty tall and full of fun with awesome play, my kid can attest to it. Was thinking this might be a good set for parts for a future MOD project. Though it would probably still need quite a bit of parts seeing that there are now walls. But hey that's fun on my part. Anyway its our first CITY building and it was a fun build, the multiple vehicles are a plus point. It doesn't have as many pieces and Minifigures as compared to the Police Station 60047 but it still comes with a good amount Firefigher Minifigures. (Different type of play I guess) Hope everyone enjoys my take on it, the full review and detailed pics here http://www.boxtoy.co...004-review.html Look forward to MOD-ing this set, if my kid agrees to it of course:)

Thanks for all the positive comments. Just wanted to let everyone know that Build Videos for this Fire Station MOC are now available. http://youtu.be/xhWhsRZPbpw Here's Build Video 1 of 3 featuring the build for the Ground Level. Enjoy:)

Hi All, Hope everyone is having a great 2015 so far. Here's a Fire Station that I was working on late last year, I actually finished it just before Christmas but have only just managed to find time to put together the details of the build. I've always wanted a classic Fire Station for our town so I went ahead on designing and building one. Built on a modified baseplate with 3 Garage bays with Shutter doors the Fire Station was put together with parts and vehicles from a Fire Station 60004 set and quite alot of used bricks to manage cost, The Fire Truck 60002 was also added to this Fire Station crew. Feel free to check out more information of the MOC with detailed images here as usual. http://www.boxtoy.co...tation-moc.html Also a video here too. https://www.youtube....h?v=27ezJYjk2Z0 Thanks and enjoy the MOC. [uPDATE: Build instructions now available]

Thanks all! Here's an update on how the Fire Station looks with the latest Detective's Office! (couldn't resist) Good thing the design fits well.

Thanks!

Hi All, Just sharing a modification of the LEGO Bike Shop & Café set. My kid liked the original advanced build of the set but somehow it was a little too cramped even when opened up. We additionally tried the easy and medium builds to see how it felt but somehow it still lacked room to play. So we decided to revisit the whole concept of the Bike Shop & Café and modularize it. The concept of the modification is to merge the Bike shop and Café as one establishment allowing us to make a 2nd floor loft apartment, which meant more space across the board. We reused alot of the interior pieces from the original set which were really nice. We kept it to two floors to keep it relatively small, which gave us an opportunity to make a nice end lot to place with other modulars. Unfortunately we couldn't stick to just the original pieces so we had to use various additional pieces we had, a 32x32 baseplate and alot of 2x2 tiles for the pavement. My kid enjoys it and somehow prefers the removable floors vs the open-up approach. As there's alot more detail in this build and I can't put up too many images you can check it out here. http://www.boxtoy.co...isited-moc.html Hope you guys like it.

Wow! Love the colour scheme and the huge amount of windows. Great architecture design as well. Nicely done!
-
Thanks for all the comments everyone. Yes the Dark/Brown Red, Grey, Sand Yellow Fire Brigade colour combination would be nice for this build, just wish those colours were more easily available in my area. I additionally wanted to tile the interior floors as well but tiles are another tough find.
-
Thanks. I had the option of white which I have at hand but ended up going with red. Unfortunately I could only find black and green doors here which somehow didn't seem to go.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Hey langezwieper Here's the Fire Station between the Grand Emporium and Parisian Restaurant. I've also placed the MOC next to the Pet Shop in the video @ 2:25

Hi Lankygit, To be honest 1 x 31026 set doesn't really have enough to be a full modular, as you can see from the build I didn't have enough bricks to go across the 32x32 baseplate hence the structure ended up being a small end lot. This build already used extra white bricks to get to this size, I had to add some dark grey bricks for the base as well. I did have left overs from the original set like the tall roof tiles, black and some azure (blue) bricks. I really wanted to work with only 1 set which only provided me with about ~60-70% of parts needed to do this build, if you really want a full size modular one will need to get 2 sets as most have done, some have used 3 sets. My only issue with multiple sets is that the architectural features tend to be repetitive. Hey CityBuilder, unfortunately there weren't enough left over parts to do the other/another building as I mixed both buildings from the original set, Top half white and blue, bottom half uses the brown and black....but now you got me thinking of what to do with the leftovers....hmmm
