Hello all. Just thought I would share some pics of a modified "Family House" set 31012. I really liked the basic design of the house, but it was just a bit small and got lost in my city. So with some extra parts, I widened it, added another floor and added some interior details. While it's nothing amazing, I think it now stands out much better in the city. What do you think? Original set:

Hi, my name is Mike and this is my first post. Let me know if I do anything wrong. I've been reading posts on this forum for a long time and thought I'd start getting involved. My latest project I've completed is a Japanese Restaurant based on the Fire Brigade modular set. I produced a video showing the details of the design. I'd really appreciate it if people would have a look and let me know what you think. I really respect the opinion of the builders on Eurobricks so it would be great to get some feedback. Thanks, Mike.

Hello everyone! Here is my latest build. The riverbank cottage set in the country. The cottage is a mixture of several examples found all over the UK. I designed mine to be next to a river as opposed to the coast where many of this style cottage are to be found. This was just for scale purposes. I didn't want to build a beach/huge cliff beside it Anyway, I think this belongs in town as its not quite historic? a lot of these cottages were built in the late 1800's to early 1900's and are still in good condition to this day. I'll leave it up the Admins to decide if it needs moving! It was a chance for me to experiment with scenery, water and texture of which I enjoyed very much. All in all its taken a couple of months. The floors are removable for interior access, although due to the small sizes of the rooms, the furnishings are less interesting than my previous efforts. It's set sometime in the 50's just for a decorative era. Here are some pics; The rest can be found on my flickr stream here: http://www.flickr.co...656812@N04/sets Any comments or thoughts welcome!

[pid][/pid] 245B Dear all, I am very happy to present to you another example of monkey-driven design: The Palace "Jaune Banane": It is a modular build - heavily inspired by what I have seen in and around Vienna. And I managed to include some monkey statues (which I am really proud of). I managed to include some nice interior work: And it is modular: It is actually not so easy to capture this well: This time the MOC comes without a story. I hope you enjoy it! (I am working on the palace gardens, etc., so there will be additions coming up soon).

[pid][/pid] 246A My teammate is Simon S. (Burrli Burri). Each of us built two modules aproximately 16x16 that contain sections of an Imperial Fort. The modules can be rearranged into many different compositions and the fort has many neat features: prison cage, modular house, working cannons, hidden treasure chests, working doors, and plenty of Imperial soldiers and pirate rogues. Because each 'set' comes with 2 modules, with one set you would be able to rearrange it into 2 different patterns. But if you had both sets, you could rearrange the 4 modules into 24 different patterns, or have two separate forts! Overview of my modules: Overview of Simon's modules: You can check out more pictures here: link All C&C welcome

[pid][/pid] 245D Team eurotrash/Oirad 72 are proud to present their combined ex-pat Brit/Italian entry to the Pirate Teamwork Competition. We decided to go for a set-based approach - something that Lego could produce, sets with playability and strength and we agreed to update the classic Pirate feel. So, strap your Parrot to your shoulder, shiver your timbers and please enjoy our contributions - The Slippery Eel Tavern and Fort Degas. The Slippery Eel Tavern by Oirad 72 This notorious Tavern is set on a busy Jetty. It's a den of thieves and cutthroats and any Redcoat that wanders down here better be on the lookout. The set comes complete with a rowboat, cargo-crane and Mermaid. Inside the Tavern there's a fully equipped bar area, steps up to the second floor storage room and a doorway through to the upper deck. But it looks like a junior Redcoat is questioning the Innkeeper "What do you know about smuggling?", he's asking. But the Innkeeper is afraid and has pulled the pin, the trapdoor opens and the Redcoat tumbles into the mouth of the waiting crocodile! The upper deck and crane with some very effective textures and colors on the wall. The locating Technic pins that enable the two sets to be combined. Fort Degas by eurotrash This set comes complete with a Seagull stolen from the Parisian Restaurant. It attached to the Tavern via the Technic pins in the Jetty and hidden in the rock. It has open backed access to the Entrance Room, Hall, Dungeon and Tower. And the roof comes off for additional access. "This Rock wall is interesting. I wonder what's behind here" "Get in the Dungeon you Pirate scum" "But don't worry - I'll set you free!" Here's a short youtube video showing the mechanics for opening the Treasure cave and removing the Dungeon wall. Thanks for reading. We hope you enjoyed our entry! eurotrash/ Oirad 72

Hello everybody, today I'd like to show you my first attempt to make a modular building. Actually, it was made some months ago, but when I built it I wasn't yet registered here. :) This mansion is built more or less in the same way as the Fire Brigade: quite high ground floor and the first floor of normal height, but no second floor at all. Let's look inside the house. Kitchen, cabinet, living room, bedroom and bathroom - all this only for one single man who lives there. Unfortunately, I forgot to make the toilet. The building has some pins on its sides, so it can be easily connected to the other modulars: Thanks for watching!

"Western Biological was right across the street and facing the vacant lot. Lee Chong's grocery was on its catty-corner right and Dora's Bear Flag Restaurant was on its catty-corner left. Western Biological deals in strange and beautiful wares…. You can order anything living from Western Biological and sooner or later you will get it." -John Steinbeck, Cannery Row This is a modular, so you can fit it in with your Cafe Corner (or Monterey Bay Aquarium). I had fun exploring all sorts of SNOT in the process of building this - I feel I learned a lot. This was one of the projects I mentioned in the "LEGO Plan for 2014". I started work on the facade in January, and then it sat alone for two months until I found the creativity to finish it. See more pictures at Flickr. Thanks for looking!

This build has been a slow "Labour of Love" since summer 2012. I have made many modifications to it throughout the past 18 months. And now that Brent Waller's Ghostbuster's 30th Anniversary Ecto-1 Cuusoo project won the latest Cuusoo review I thought now was a good a time as any to post this build. There are a few Lego Ghostbuster Fire House's on the web and I drew my inspiration from Sean Kenny's build which you will see some similarities. My intention is to have this as a "Working" Fire station as part of my Scotsburgh Fire Dept. The following pictures are of first version of building. The first photo is of the station footprint and street. http://www.flickr.co...157641348126655 This photo is of the ground floor Appliance Hall with appliance doorway. http://www.flickr.co...57641348126655/ I then realised that the Appliance Hall wasnt going to be wide enough so, I took version 1 down and revised the footprint and changed the door at the back of the Applaince Hall to lead straight onto the pavement http://www.flickr.co...57641348126655/ http://www.flickr.co...57641348126655/ And completed Ground floor Appliance Hall with stairs leading to the First floor http://www.flickr.co...57641348126655/ First Floor in Build http://www.flickr.co...57641348126655/ http://www.flickr.co...57641348126655/ Ground and First Floor together with Second Floor in build and roof http://www.flickr.co...157641348126655 As can be seen from this photo and the one above, the front and back and both sides of the First and Second floors are symetrical http://www.flickr.co...157641348126655 And this photo shows the size of the building with the Fire engine alongside. It does fit into the Appliance Hall under the Archway, just. http://www.flickr.co...157641348126655 Well that is version 1 and Version 2. More to follow.

Here is my latest modular addition... a small florist shop. At first I put the Lemonade sign up as a placeholder, but my daughter thinks it's a cute name for the florist/gift shop so I think I'm leaving it. Flowers for the shop are grown on the rooftop garden. Jack is weeding. Seems like any florist should look a little run down in the back. Of course they sell balloons and small gifts too. Small apartment on the second floor. Thanks for looking!

This is my second LDD:ed modular house which I've been working on from time to time. It is a street house in a style that is common in the older parts of towns in the province Skåne, Sweden. In particular in Lund. (Except for my placement of the chimney pipe, which is usually in the middle of the house and made by bricks) First floor is the living quarter, while the second is a sculptures studio. When I started with the house during late summer, I first intended to have a painters studio at the top floor, but the PR arrived and I felt like I had to change. All in all, it is about 960 bricks. I think I got the facade quite good this time, but I'm considering changing the roof from slopes to leaning plates.. Criticism and suggestions is always welcome! I plan to build the house with real bricks, but first in line is my Flowershop which I posted some time ago.

For the LowLug Modular MOC Madness I took a risk and stepped out of my comfort zone and decided this was the time to recreate a building that has been in my scetchbook for some time. The Townhall (Raadhuis in Dutch) of a small village in the Netherlands. The original building is now a monument and houses an office, I wanted to make it a Townhall again. It is fully modular but I made the sides so it can be a standalone MOC as well, as it is in real life. Topview, the two floors can be taken out to create vignettes. More on flickr and my homepage.

I enjoyed making the small Florist shop so much that I've decided to do a few more smaller modulars. This month is a small Law Office... seems necessary in a city with so much crime. The first floor is reception. The second floor has desks for two clerks and a large window office for the lawyer. Here it is next to the Florist. Back still needs a little work... comments and suggests are welcome. Thanks for looking!

Here is a preview of My latest bit of absurdity. The fictional address 177a Bleecker St. Greenwich Villiage, NYC. Home of this wolds Sorcerer Supreme The Sanctum Sanctorum of Dr Strange. It's still very preliminary. I've barely started on the inside. And am still working on the third floor roof. I'm trying to keep it a little bare and cartoon y to match the comics art that I am sort of working off. The roof is giving me fits.

Hello everyone. Here is my latest creation - The Monde cinema. (Monde roughly translating into 'World' in French) I've wanted to build a cinema for quite some time now, after getting the palace cinema it really pushed me into making my own. It is of a 1920-30's design using some Egyptian and Mayan styling. The Grand-Rex in Paris was my inspiration on exterior proportions. I chose a french name for the Cinema in homage. I spent a huge amount of time checking out interior and exterior styling of Cinema's and this changed the design throughout the build. It took me forever to decide on the right dimensions. I didn't want to make it too deep to restrict light for photos at the back. I felt if it was too tall the figs would look out of proportion. I also didn't want to make a huge auditorium full of seats with a very tall ceiling. I felt it wouldn't be much to look at. I was more interested in making a tall welcoming lobby with a more detailed floor design and 'slight' windows. The challenge I set myself was to make working brick built doors and brick built windows. There is also a bar downstairs to break up the fascia at the front and lower the height of the auditorium. It's taken several months to complete but has been a fun project. Here is a few sample pics The rest of the pictures can be found here http://www.flickr.co...157638125748846 Comments welcome!

Finally got some decent photographs of my town, ObiVille (named in honor of the true ruler of our house - Obi the Cat!) It's 'Standard' Lego build and lives on top of my two Ikea Malm draws in my 'Lego' room. I do have room for 2 more modules if I can find somewhere else to display my Death Star (which currently sits nicely in the corner taking up lots of room). And finally the great leader and Lego Chewer himself, Obi: You may notice in some picture 2x2 turquoise bricks - these are cat deterrents as they sit upside down with a few drops of Olbas oil in them which he wont go anywhere near! I coveted Pet Store for a long time but surprised myself when i finally got to a Lego store that I came home first with Palace Cinema. Then I got Pet Shop followed by Town Hall then Parisian Restaurant. I think Town Hall was the easiest and fastest to build as it is mostly building with less interior detail. Parisian Restaurant made my fingers ache and probably put my blood pressure up with the tension of building it right as it had so many smaller components. I think my favorite alternates between Pet Store (which just makes me smile with it's cuteness) and Parisian Restaurant (whose colours i love the most) I think the pictures came out really well today. It was a really dark dull day and the household energy saving bulbs make photos look yellow. I was taking photos with my Daylight/Sad lamp above my head (which is about 30x40cm and not lightweight) - my boyfriend thinks I've gone nuts!

Hi everyone, Here is my latest build, Barrie's department store. It was inspired by a department store in my home city of Newcastle Upon-Tyne. I wanted to do a long building with a high window display and build something on a large scale. It comes with a fully furnished interior on 4 floors which consist of a food hall, home furniture, ladies wear and a restaurant on the top floor. I added a 1930's streamlined 'balloon' design tram to the street scene even if these were not found in Newcastle at that time but it was fun to build Here's a few exterior and interior shots; More pictures can be found on my flickr here http://www.flickr.co...s/52656812@N04/ Comments welcomed as always!

With the exception of the 16x32 base plate this model is built using only the parts available in the 10211 Grand Emporium kit. When I set out to build this the only thing I was trying to do is avoid having the facade look like the donor kit. It came out much better than I expected given I only had so many pieces to work with. More pictures of better quality at http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/377737 and information about instructions at http://www.AlteredBricks.com Thanks for looking.

Hello all, I finally finished (or at least I say it is finished now ) my new modular building. It has taken me some time and I started with the idea more than two years ago but here it is: As you can (hopefully) see it is a shop on the ground floor with on the right the entrance to the apartment above. I am happy with how the front turned out. It has some overhang but that is characteristic of most old buildings. The backside of the building is less interesting, although I am quite pleased with the drain pipes: It is modular so all the floors can be separated, although some parts are a little fragile I have to admit. I have put in some interior as well. Here is the inside of the shop: The apartment basically has two floors. One with a combined living room and kitchen and a small "library". It is a very basic kitchen. And what is that cat looking for? The other floor has the main bedroom, a bath room and a so far not decorated small room. The attic has only some storage boxes, so it is not that interesting. So, that's it. I hope you like it. More pictures can be found here. And please feel free too comment.

I just received a 10232 Palace Cinema set. This is my first Modular building set, and the largest Lego set I've ever received. While I knew that the piece count was 2000+, and i had an idea of the finished size of the set... I did not expect the huge box that it would be in! Wowzah! It's exciting and intimidating at the same time to behold the box! I'm resisting tearing into this beast because there's a few other sets I'd like to assemble first for the Reviewer Academy. Anyone else surprised at the size of the box of their first "large" set?

I had to occupy my time while I was waiting for the Parisian Restaurant to arrive and so I opened up one of the cupboards and modified the Lego Creator 5770 Lighthouse. I wanted it to fit in with my sprawling, economically depressed city so I beefed up the size of building, changed the roof and slapped it on a rocky prominence (Skull Island was sacrificed http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3712/11637864364_c17b2b1617_c.jpg) I wasn't too worried about the look of the lower levels as they'd be covered by the adjacent buildings so I used whatever spare pieces I had to hand - in this case it was castle wall parts. And there's a higgledy-piggledy wooden ladder and platform creation that runs up the rear of the rock to provide access to the Lighthouse. And although it's falling into disrepair the Lighthouse keeper doesn't appear to mind as he keeps a weather-eye on the horizon and enjoys his rum-enhanced coffee: Thanks for reading!

For the LowLUG Modular MOC Madness competition (Dutch forum, entries start at page 2) I created the following entry. The three lions The pub, called the three lions, can be found in the center of Modular City. The upper part of the three lions is a student flat which is accessible through its own entrance. The building has a clock gable en is built early 18th century. It has authentic details like stained glass on the ground floor, a family crest and lion heads. Nothing much to see on the back other than the trash and recycled glass cans, some weed and the back terrace on the top floor. The pub guests can hang their coat on the pegs under which a radiator is placed. At the bar one can order a drink or rent some darts. The dartboard hangs on the wall opposite of the toilet. Below the stairs to the student flat is the stock storage, cash register and tip jar. The inside of the student flat shows furniture mostly found at that well known Swedish furniture giant. It is small but provides most modern comforts. The bath room is also on this floor, it has a spacious shower that is separated from the toilet and washing area by a glass door. There is also room for a washing machine. The attic houses the bedroom, central heater and terrace. Recently the student living in the student flat graduated. She is celebrating this with family and friends at the pub. The three lions pub side by side with the 10128 Pet shop. C&C appreciated, thanks for watching.
