Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Legodt replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
My Natural History Museum is scheduled for delivery today, 8 days before December 1st. Has anyone else received notification of delivery early? I can't wait to get the parts list, so that I can start organizing and Bricklinking to create 3rd floor for this Modular. I probably won't start building until next year. www.ogelsbob.com -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Legodt replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I agree, it looks too short. I have been adding a middle floor to all of my modulars, since Assembly Square. I have already begun selecting pieces from my collection to add a middle floor to the Museum and then I'll order the rest from Bricklink. Sometimes, when placing a taller modular next to a shorter one, I install a billboard or posters on the taller modular, so that the sides will not be exposed. -

For BH, I wanted to add a level and some of the light nougat pieces were not available at the time. Also, I generally prefer to use tan for most of my buildings. I'm thinking of adding another level to BH, so that it will rise above the other modulars near by. -

Thanks again for this rendering. Here is how my Jazz Club turned out, in dark blue, tan, and dark bluish gray. I also added a level. -
This sounds like a great idea, but I'm too far along to consider putting the monorail through the Eiffel Tower. After Brickworld Chicago, I think I'll consider a new set up and it might work then. Do you plan to building the new 10307 Eiffle Tower?

Yes, I modularized the 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum, by adding a narrow extension. What do you think? After building the 2nd level from my own pieces and a few Bricklink orders, I realized that most of the dark bluish gray will not be visible. I replaced the pillar post supports with white and placed it next to Brick Bank. Looks much better, since hardly any of the DBG is visible. -

I agree, the dark grey is not the best for the Pizzeria, but I wanted to place it next to the Brick Bank, which is mostly white and grey. I'm looking for a more coordinated look. I do plan to purchase the full set... it is cheaper than Bricklink-ing for sure. Also, I usually sell certain modulars after they retire, so I need all of the original pieces and packaging to be able to sell it. Whenever the next corner modular comes out, I plan to sell Brick Bank and replace it with the new corner modular. Hope I don't have to change the Pizzeria colors again. -
I have now added a Carousel from Winter Village Series next to the Eiffel Tower

Thank you so much. I really like it. I think I am going to build it this way, but I plan to use white support posts on the Pizzeria. I also plan to add a level. I'm just waiting for the Pizza Delivery Vehicle GWP before purchasing the set. -

I wish I knew how to render the Jazz Club with Dark Blue on the bottom, with tan on top + all Dark Bluish Gray for the Pizza Restaurant. I intend to place the Jazz Club / Pizza in between Boutique Hotel and Brick Bank. If anyone can easily make this render, I'd love to see it before I start building. I have all of the pieces ready. -
How do you plan to display Eiffel Tower in your Town? WIP - I have installed a platform and layout in my Modular Town to include the new Eiffel Tower. I built some trees and a monorail station for the 6399 Airport Monorail and added steps from the street level to reach the platform of the Eiffel Tower. I also plan to remove the micro-sized lamp posts and some of the miniature foliage. I think this will help with make the minifigures seem more comfortable in this space, so they don't feel like Gulliver in Lilliput. I also plan to shorten the TV/Media antenna, so that I can fit the Eiffel Tower on a table and in a room with a low basement ceiling. Also, there is a Carousel very close to the real Eiffel Tower, so I plan to install the small Carousel from Winter Village Market (10235) near the Eiffel Tower display. This will balance out the presence of the Airport Monorail station. I would love to hear more about this subject: -How do you plan to display the new Eiffel Tower (10307)? -Will it be part of your LEGO Town or Modular Display? -How do you plan to deal with the micro-sized lamp posts? -Will you make modifications to lower the overall height, so that it will fit inside your house? -What buildings do you plan to display nearby, if any?

"Salti Blati: have you built your town yet? That layout example you posted sounds like it's got some really cool features. Would love to see the real thing if it exists." Yes, I have built several versions of my town, using Excel. I use this method for designing my layout at Brickworld Chicago and for my ever-changing town in my LEGO Room. Here is a photo link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/107972925@N06/49896069068/in/dateposted-public/

I recommend using Microsoft Excel. I have been using this for years. You can adjust the colum width to "6" and the row height to "32" and end up with square cells. I then shade the cells various colors and use borders to delineate various sections. For example each cell represents 8 studs X 8 studs. Hope you find this helpful.

Amazing. I was measuring my LEGO room to see where I could build and fit this MOC. It is so huge! I love it. I hope to build it one day.
