corner toy store modular building with LEGO delivery truck MOCs
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Town
I built this corner toy store modular building starting late at night and then finished early the next morning. (No, I didn't pull an all-nighter on this!) The building was heavily inspired by 2020 set 31105 (Townhouse Toy Store from CREATOR) while the trucks is modified version of the delivery vehicle from set 10222. (2011's Winter Village Post Office) The building also draws from some free Rebrickable instructions you can see here. The building is a bit short in the height department compared to official modulars, but when next to my custom buildings it fits right in! On this side we see the second-floor patio. The lower floor is the shop's sales floor, and also has a enclosed delivery area off to the side. The shop sells all manner of Lego sets and pre-built models for sale. The second floor is a apartment, and features a bare minimum of features to sustain life, but it does have a gigantic Lego train layout in the corner. (somebody has their priorities in order!) This truck is heavily inspired by the 1920s truck from the first Winter Village post office. It is missing two 4x4 prints on the rear portion of the truck. The doors on both sections open, and the truck seats one figure at the wheel. (Oh how I wish those rear doors came in yellow!) NOTES: As you may have noticed, there are numerous missing prints and parts on these two MOCs. This includes five prints from the new City LEGO truck (two on the truck, three on the building), twelve 1x3x3 windows in tan with trans-clear glass for the upstairs windows, along with a few other parts. Thoughts? -
I made several changes to the school and the school bus. Added some walls to the right side of the school building and a roof. For the school bus, I removed the wheelchair lift as it made the bus look weird. Don't get me wrong, I have great respect and support for the handicapped. I just feel that it wasn't executed properly there. There was barely any room for the students. I decided to add an extra seat there instead. I also changed the wheel arches and recolored the sign to yellow and bumpers to black to closely resembled an American styles school bus. I customized it with my favorite school bus model, the Chevrolet B-Series with a Blue Bird bus body, in mind. Those things had power to spare. My sigfig drives the bus in this set.

1890s Victorian townhouse - 42638 inspired modular MOC - WIP updated 9/29/24
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Town
This model was built from a single picture of 2024 Friends set 42638 - Castle Bed and Breakfast. I made the model in my own style, while attempting to keep the proportions of the set. I gave it a fold open back, and had to redesign the turret-area as I had no clue how they assembled it in the set. The official roof was likewise unfamiliar territory, so I originally improvised a new one using bricks and slopes. (which was a total pain) Since the set's instructions are now out, I recently replaced the roof with the one from the set. The model is missing four black window pieces (with glass) in style 73878 from the bay window because they aren't in LDD, along with a number of other parts. The stand-ins shown in the pictures will be replaced with the proper parts when built in real life. The rear isn't too exciting. I added a back door, and added a chimney by the turret up front. Inside the front half, which I need to figure out more furniture for. The empty attic will have lots of boxes in it... and maybe a ghost. (Unsure at this point about that!) Inside the rear half with the redesigned stairs. Again, not much to say about this half. UPDATE 9/29/24: Finally, construction begins in the real world! Scene: You're building a model, happy as a clam. You're THIS close to finishing, when you realize there are a few parts (the 4x4 bricks in foreground) that are not what you ordered a almost a month ago. You're sure it wasn't like this when you checked the parts when they arrived from Bricklink. But by now, it's far too late to go back and tell the seller, even if you could figure out which one made the mistake. The only thing left to do is curse your luck and wait until you have enough parts on the your wanted list to make another order worthwhile. (which in this builder's case will be a while as I have too many orders out right now as it is) Don't you hate it when this happens? (After taking this photo, I found a short-term workaround by robbing from the bay window on the left temporarily. Later I found I was one short of a newer part that I have none extra of. I'm exactly three parts short of completing this MOC as of 2:30 pm and will be ordering the missing parts soon.) Thoughts? Comments? Questions? Leave them below! -
1930s Sears kit house and streamlined thirties Ford coupe - modular building and car
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Town
For those of you who don't know, the department store Sears (remember them?) used to sell homes through mail order catalogs as do-it-yourself kits from 1908 to 1942. Over the years, they had 370 styles available, and ~70,000 homes were built over that timeframe. They had optional extras for each style including electricity, indoor plumbing, central heating, and telephone hookup. You can read more and even flip through numerous catalogs here on Wikipedia. The house I've made is not based on any specific model or year, but it *looks* like a 1920s / 1930s kit house to me, so thus it became one. This house is a super heavily modified version of a Brick City Depot design, specifically this Winter Village house that I bought instructions for over a decade ago. I updated the design quite a bit, while leaving enough of the early-2010's charm of the original MOC. I also added a much-needed back half to the model with stairs to the upper level and a chimney. The removable modular base seen in the first picture is a test of what it could very well look like when built IRL. The rear of the house... nothing too exciting back here. The building folds open, dollhouse style. Inside we have the entryway / foyer, living room, dining room, stairway, and bedroom, all with the proper furniture for each room... although in some places it looks a bit bare, so I might make some more stuff to flesh it out better. This late-1930's coupe model is heavily modified and recolored from these free police car instructions as seen at this Rebrickable MOC by user Leewan. I remade it in yellow from the original black-and-white, removed the doors, and revised some other stuff. The rear of the car. I think the vehicle reminds me of a late 1930s Ford, personally. (I'm not good with cars, so I can't nail it down exactly!) The roof is removable to place two figures inside. ....That's all I got until the house gets built in real life. Thoughts? EDITED: All house photos updated 9/10/24 with some slight changes -
plinthed 2-6-2 Prairie steam engine in a public park - modular building compatible real world MOC
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Train Tech
The permanently parked 2-6-2 'Prairie' steam loco is enshrined in a small public space in Lego City. The park used to be much bigger, but eminent domain for more buildings has shrunk it down quite a bit to the size you see now. Nowadays, the OCTAN Company is threatening to take the rest to make into a automotive service station, hence the billboard. Octan and the local historical society are currently slugging it out in the courts to see what will happen to this lot and it's resident steam loco. Nevertheless, this park remains a popular place to grab a hot dog from the vendor and hold a picnic. If you need a rest on your walk, there are two benches, and if you want to read some about the loco there is plaque is placed behind the stairs to the engine's cab. The back side of the MOC, which is pretty ugly and sparsely decorated. I've been on a bit of a modular building kick recently... this plinthed 2-6-2 Prairie-type steam loco with surrounding public park is like my twelfth in a year or so. I've got two others waiting in the wings waiting to be finished as well. The food stall is run by Heimlich Stewblaster from the old LEGO Universe video game. ...Someone left a cake out in the rain, with all the sweet cream icing running down... (this is a reference to a song called 'MacArthur Park' and was sung by Richard Harris - yes, the original Dumbledore had a singing career!) Back when Bricklink allowed you to buy custom MOC instructions, I bought some plans for a small 2-6-2 steam loco from @SavaTheAggie in January 2014. (You can now buy Sava's instructions for his original MOC - and more - at Brick Train Depot.) I devoured the instructions, used the techniques shown to make me a better builder. Now, ten years later, I've revisited the model: I built it in LDD, (with some stand-ins for BBB parts) then went to town making it into my style and then bought the parts in the real world. I changed the boiler to be studs-up instead of SNOT, and removed the squeaky old tiny wheels from the model, and made space for XS Big Ben Bricks wheels instead. (this actually was easier than I thought it'd be!) I added a different stack along with heavily revising the piston / side rod assembly. As for the all-new, longer tender, different wheels were added and a 'painted' box put on the sides. The rear of the loco. The engine is numbered 119 and lettered for BRS (Brick Railway Systems), my original LEGO railroad that I began when I was in late-stage elementary school nearly 20 years ago. (Man, how time flies!) I also gave it the original black-and-red paint scheme of my first train MOCs from the early 2010's, as a nod to my past. This loco was my third set of instructions I purchased from Sava back in the day, although I had never built this one until now. (I did build the 4-6-0 and Berkshire I bought in 2010 and 2012 respectively, but oddly not this one from 2014) The inside of the cab. Thoughts? EDIT: @JopieK Do you you think this in the right area? Or should it be moved to town? I was confident before in my placement, but now I'm not so sure... -
Adventurers headquarters modular building + 1920s car - real world model
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Town
This building is my Adventurers' headquarters building, and is used by Johnny Thunder and his friends to store and research recovered artifacts from all over the globe. (and beyond!) The model's framework / basis is half of set 76108 - Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown from 2018, and much like that fictional building, is filled with secrets and dangerous artifacts. The building is built to modular standard on a 16x32 baseplate, and is also infinitely stackable - the two middle floors can be repeated to be as tall as you want without changing anything, just like Cafe Corner from 2007 was able to. Sadly, the lamppost is not placeable in the proper place because of practically no clutch on the baseplate in the correct spot. (the baseplate is pretty old and worn) The rear of the building isn't very pretty. It has a basement entrance (purely for looks - it goes no where) and a back door to the first floor. This floor is the lobby / reception - it's where Johnny and co. get info on lost treasures and also the whereabouts of Lord Sinister and his cronies. This floor features a large cabinet, radio, desk, telephone, bankers lamp, and two chairs. A clock hangs on the wall by the door near a hat stand. This level is the break room / reading room for the upstairs library. We have a couch, standing lamp and table on this floor. Trophies, treasures, and weapons adorn this level. These include: the Storm Amulet from Ninjago, the Golden Shield from Orient Expedition, a Trident from the lost city of Atlantis, Thor's hammer (Dr. Kilroy is worthy), the fabled Re-Gou ruby, a T-Rex tooth found on Dino Island, among a few other, more puzzling items. This floor features items that can alter your mind and corrupt your soul, such as The Ice King's Crown, the One Ring, and a strange crystal skull. (Do NOT look it in the eyes!) Also on this floor is the library on everything archeology, the occult, myths / legends and somethings better left unsaid. This car is named the Scorpion Tracker, named after set 5918 - Scorpion Tracker - but styled after set 2995 - Adventurers car and skeleton. It was also heavily modified from a model by BricksAA and these free MOC instructions over on Rebrickable. The model features a spare tire hanging at the back of the vehicle and seats three figs - one in the back row and two up front, as shown. I'll leave you with this parting shot of Johnny Thunder, Dr. Kilroy, and Pippin Reed off on another expedition into the unknown... where are they going now - who knows? But wherever they will go, ADVENTURE awaits! Thoughts? -
* * * The kingdom had long awaited the king’s return. As he rode through the gates, the people cheered, their hope rekindled. * * * Hello castle fans, The King's Castle was my entry to Bricklink Designer Program Series 5. I have received many kind comments and support, but unfortunately it has not been selected, therefore I decided to make the instructions available here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-193221/_TLG_/kings-castle-the-king-returns It includes many details such as flags, coat or arms, arcades, a brick built gate, plants and even a brick built tree. The building is foldable and in the opened version the rooms and halls are visible. There is a throne hall, a dining hall with a statue, a basement, a kitchen with a masonry oven. All doors work and some walls of the tower house are openable as well to make accessible the king's bedroom, the staircase with the treasure chest and the prison. The set includes 11 minifigures (including the statue) and some animals which provide many playability options. It is built from almost 4000 bricks to make it large and detailed. Unfortunately some parts were not available in the palette (including a minifigure king crown or a saddle), but I am still really satisfied with the result. I hope you enjoy the castle. Many thanks for your support and feedback!

Gothic house modular building with red 1950s car - real world 76388 / 60408 inspired models
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Town
This somewhat spooky, gothic-looking modular building was inspired by the tavern in Harry Potter set 76388 - Hogsmeade Village Visit, with a color scheme lifted from 75583 - Minions and Gru's Family Mansion. The car was reverse engineered from what I could see of the 1950's 'lead sled' in upcoming summer 2024 City set 60408 - Car Transporter. I added a back half to the building, built another level, plus I put in a conservatory and a fireplace flue. I also changed the coloring to dark bluish gray with a black roof, from the original dark tan with dark gray roof. The building folds open on a hinge, and as such lifts away from the modular compatible base to allow for you to open the building. The rear isn't that exciting too look at, but it does it's job well enough. Inside the front of the building, the lower floor has a dining room, while the second floor has a well-stocked library. The third floor is the attic space. In the back of the house, on the lower level we see the living room and conservatory. (this latter area flips open for access) Moving onto the second floor is the bedroom. (the black thing with trans-blue glass is a fish tank) Finally, the attic is located on the third floor and is mostly vacant. The modular base can also be removed from the building. I didn't have pictures of the rear (and obviously instructions were also a no-go as the City set won't be out until August), so improvised as best I could using what I thought looked reasonable for a fifties car. I managed to get 99% of the car built from one picture. The rear of the car. Admittedly, I stole the taillights design from this old Hachiroku24 MOC. The inside seats one figure at the wheel. Thoughts, comments, complaints, and questions welcome! -
Adaptive Architects is a 32x32 modular building, and the third fully custom modular that I've designed and created, from initial sketches to final build with instructions- the complete Lego product cycle, as far as a single person can at least! THE BUILDING The building was done in the style of a turn of the century American brick building, that has been rehabilitated as an adaptive reuse project, preserving the façade of the original building, but improving it for modern efficiency standards with corrugated iron woven into the structure of the existing brick. I wanted to play with the idea of a "solid" façade mixed in with the very square glass and metal structures that you see in a lot of swanky new developments in major downtowns. Of course, it also has to fit with the other modular buildings in order to really be called a successful modular building, right? The in-set porch gives a pleasing difference in depth compared to the rest of the modular street, and I think that it looks right at home with other American style modulars such as the Detective's Office and Brick Bank- the roof height of the "original" sections of the building match up with the existing rooflines, while the adaptive section rises above, both conveying how it was an addition on top of the existing building, AND giving a sort of observation platform to the rest of the modular street- a perspective that I feel like fits the adaptive reuse idea of melding the past (sight lines to the other buildings) with the future (lots of glass letting in light and opening the space above the more crammed street below). Of course, with such a heavenly, god-like view, who should get the penthouse suite but the head architect of the firm? I made liberal usage of the 1x2x2 window frame as cast iron legs for furniture throughout the building, both to decrease the overall number of part types required to build it AND because I feel like that sort of solid, thick steel construction is big in that neo-industrial aesthetic these days. I borrowed the design for the drafting boards from 4000034 System House- I just created my own arm out of the 3L bar pieces and adapters instead of the 3d printed solution or brick-built alternate used there. I also changed the boards to green, because all my experience with drafting boards has had them green, and not white! Finally, the lobby is the most detailed and colorful, in the Modular tradition. There's an architectural model, some project the firm is known for; the reception desk replete with minimalist logo for the firm; and a seating area with those moderately uncomfortable velvet stool things that are almost definitely there to look good and not be sat on! THE DESIGN PROCESS The initial form for this build came the way I always do it- some mood board research on Google, combined with ideas I amass day to day, and then some sketching to try and rough out a shape for the build. As you can see here, the porch has been a constant, even if the design of the rest of the building shifted around a good bit. However, as these things go, I wasn't happy with my first pass. It was too blocky and uniform. It didn't have the whimsy and charm that the Modular buildings embody for me. And that top gable didn't translate the way I'd hoped it would. So it was back to the drawing board. As you can see, this sketch ended up being MUCH closer to the final design. Parts were retroactively added, but the majority of the shaping came from this drawing. I find that combining the unlimited palette of Stud.io with the conceptual freedom of sketching does a great job in helping me to refine an idea without having access to the bricks needed to rapidly prototype. The boondoggle of the build was this gable, however. What I wanted to do was to have plates make up the roof portion, and a nice clean façade beneath them. What I quickly realized, however, was that the Lego system is not friendly to SNOT angles without an overhang, and that I would need a number of parts that do not exist (in dark orange, no less) to accomplish my vision the way I'd...envisioned it. So back to the drawing board (you can see my sketch for the roof done with standard roof bricks in the sketch above- that left page was done after the one to the right). Once I'd acquiesced to using plain old roof bricks, the construction of the build really flowed from there. This is my second draft, with incomplete interior and missing a lot of detailing on the upper floors. But the overall shape and character of the building was complete at this point. The little cornice/ornamentation at the top of the left column of the building took a bit of iteration. I was trying to go for a sort of wrought iron/rusted steel vibe with it, pulling inspiration from many of the buildings on my mood board. Ultimately I went with a more textured version of this that separated the brown section below and the wrought iron section on top, with a bit of the medium azure to carry through the accent color and really make it pop. FINAL THOUGHTS Thank you for reading and viewing my MOC! I'm really proud of this build and happy with how it came out. I feel that I successfully carried out the concept I was going for, and capturing the aesthetic I wanted. My favorite part is probably using the hinge bricks in brown as detail on the 2nd floor in order to get a more compact "recessed" pressed metal detail. Instructions are available through Rebrickable!

This house was digitally built in 2018, really built in 2019, then languished in a WIP state for several years before being finished last month. Enjoy the pictures - this model has been a long rough ride since the beginning, but it was worth it! I was inspired to create this model from the 2018 Jurassic World set 75930, Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate, with some design cues from set 10228, Haunted House. The dollhouse-style model was built from the set pictures, with the play features removed and opening rear sections added to match the front half. The house folds apart, doll house style, with the rear section opening in quarters up to 90 degrees. (Technic pins hold the model shut for transport and ease of handling) The modular building compatible base is able to be removed from the building to facilitate access to the inside details. The rear of the mansion features a back door (perfect for escapes when the locals get feisty about the scientist playing god again!) and the chimney flue. Moving inside, The bottom floor features the living room and dining rooms, while the second floor is the bedroom, study and pipe organ rooms. The third floor features the laboratory for the study of time travel. The rear door to the outside is in the right rear section, while the safe containing the house's title and family paper work is directly above on the second level. This area also has stairs from first to second floors and what appears to be Frankenstein's monster on the third floor's operating table! The left rear quarter features the fireplace and telephone on the first floor and a bed for the second floor's master bedroom. The stairs to the third floor are also on this side. It seems the time stone from the Marvel Universe is also here... I wonder what the Doctor plans on doing with it? I built the roadster model by heavily stretching set 40532 - Vintage Taxi by about seven studs. This allowed for me to add in mechanical details. I added a covered spare tire at the rear of the car, and blacked out the back windscreen to give the impression of a fabric convertible top. As an added bonus, the car still seats two figures with room in the trunk for luggage. (Any and all resemblance in the mad doctor to moderators, living, dead, or otherwise, is totally coincidental. It is totally not @Professor Thaum in his younger years. ) The rear of the MOC. Inside view of the car, with seating for two and room for baggage. ...and that's all I've got. Thoughts, comments, complaints and suggestions welcome!

Brick-built multi-layer LEGO layout - Episode 2: Royal Customs House (Toldboden) with light
DK_Titan posted a topic in LEGO Town
In this second episode of the series, we present our MOC “Royal Customs House / Toldboden”, which has been completed with illumination from Light My Bricks as well as some interior and exterior detailing. Our MOC is based on a real-world location (Toldboden in Aarhus, Denmark). The basement in the left side is now home to a pack of rats, which has attracted the area's cats. In the other side , the basement is haunted, so "Ghostbusters" have made their way past Toldboden to get things under control. More details in the video: -
"London Street" is my entry for Bricklink Designer Program Series 3. You can check it out there, but I was tremendously busy to post it here and voting is already over. The build depicts a typical street of the British capital. Inspired by the buildings of the neighbourhoods of Soho, Camden and Islington. The model consists of two brick terraced houses set on a fictional street. The ground floor of the buildings have brightly-coloured wooden shopfronts that are common throughout the UK. The buildings are placed at an angle to add interest to the composition of the model. The left building is home to Erling & Sons Flower Shop, boasting an enchanting Sand Green, Tan, and Dark Orange colour palette. It draws loose inspiration from the Golden Eagle tavern on 59 Marylebone Lane. The building on the right is home to Print and Map Shop. It uses a combination of Dark Red and Medium Nougat to replicate some of the more typical terraced homes found all throughout England. The ground floor design takes cues from the Print and Map Shop on Portobello Road. A few extra pics so you can judge it for yourselves:

Hi everyone, I present to you my very first modular moc . For this little project I mainly focused on the outside as that is where most of the appeal of a modular building is (for me at least ). For the outside I wanted to try and make someting that you could see here in The Netherlands and my main inspirations where the buildings in Amsterdam. I did want the outside to be colourful tho, as to make it fit with the official modular sets. As the inside so small I didn't know what to with it for a long time. As an art gallery is mostly decorated on the walls, I thought it would fit well. Also because it's an art gallery, I wanted to make it look like the building has been expanded on the backside and thus make it feel more "modern". You can see the full album on my Flickr. Hope you all like it!

A little LEGO Digital Designer project I have been working on since the beginning of March...now rendered in Stud.io using highest settings and a very large size of 4800x3600 Odense Banegård The train station was drawn by Danish architect Heinrich Wenck and built in 1913-1914 in the city of Odense, Denmark. It was used as such until 1995. The building was later bought by the city, housing the city's music library for several years. The actual Odense Banegård My model: Scale: Minifig or approx. 1:42 Area: 3 x 8 baseplates 32 x 32 Number of parts: 23.223 The ground floor consist of 2 wings and 1 main building which all can be separated. The roof consists of six sections which can be removed, giving access to the building inside. The platform consists of multiple sections which can all be clicked together for added stability. Frontside: Facing one of the city's many old parks, Kongens Have (The Royal Garden), separated only by road (and a light rail line from 2021). Trackside: A mix of its appearances during different ages with a few modern train station equipment added as the building isn't used as such anymore...and I didn't want to fill this side completely with bicycles Rigth wing: Facing musikhuset Posten (live music venue) which was originally built as a parcel post office in the same architectual style. The two buildings are separated only by a small paved area, now a parking lot. Left wing: Facing Danhostel Odense City or what is left of the hotel when the new monstrosity Odense Banegård Center was being built in 1995 and needed the space. The main clock: The main platform doors:

Hello modular building and City fans, This modular Gothic Cathedral was my entry to Bricklink Designer Program Series 1. I have received many kind comments and support, but unfortunately it has not been selected, therefore I decided to make the instructions available here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-148170/_TLG_/gothic-cathedral Kit is available here: https://buildamoc.com/products/gothic-cathedral It is not actually based on a real building, but it contains many typical details: lancet arches, double lancet arch windows, a ridge turret, flying buttresses, portals with series of receding planes, rose windows etc., and there is a matching street lamp too. The roof assembly can be removed as one piece and in this case the internal details are visible: there is an altar with a cross, a candle holder, a church tabernacle, a brick built bible, there are benches, an organ, a holy water stoup etc.. The middle door on the facade and the side doors open outward, and work perfectly, the side doors on the facade open inward and they can be opened if the door handle pieces (the taps) are removed, but it is not se easy to close them in this case. It is a studless build, the unnecessary studs are hidden by tiles. When I started the design, the first version included appr. 4600 parts, so I had to optimized and simplified it a bit, but I am still really satisfied with the result. For example it could be very nice if there was trans color plates in the holes of the window fences, but it would mean too much additional parts (and I am also not sure if it is a legal technique). The building instructions guidelines have been followed. It is built from the palette "BDP Series 1", so there are some color and part restrictions. The part 15744 could be awesome as rose window on the facade, but unfortunately it is not available in black or light bluish gray. However, the technic gear 40 tooth works too. The bells could be pearl gold or something similar, but the best available option is the black which is ok. I hope you like my design, I appreciate any feedback.

Hello! A year and a half ago, I saw somewhere on Flickr a building assembled on something like that. The idea came up to assemble an entire city from such buildings. At first standart basis were used, then doubled and quadruplet, and sometimes more. During this time two cities were built. I will share renders for those who are intrested.

This is my entire to "Life in Cedrica" contest. At the perimeter of Cedrica there are remains of the old city wall. Around these pieces of stone walls, the houses have been built so that they enclose the parts of the wall that still stands up. In the block, several craftsmen has moved in from the four guilds. All have come to Cedrica to seek fortune in the city with the crafts and skills they have. A business man from Kaliphlin has his fish shop on the ground floor of his house. He buys much of the fish from local fishermen. But since he is financially minded, he also pulls up fish directly from the channel as well and sells to his customers. From Varlyrio comes a baker who sells fresh bread every morning to the neighbors. When there is time, he devotes himself to his passion in life, reading books. A potter from Avalinia has moved into a small house on a back street. Here he sells the produce of his craft. A cabinet maker and his family live in a house next to the old city wall. On the ground floor is the carpentry shop where many of the block's furniture have been made.

I haven't built a MOC in quite a while, been a bit busy with work and everything else. And the inspiration doesn't come as often as it used to when I was younger. But this January I decided to sit down and build a really cool MOC for a contest. And I thought, I enjoy Victorian architecture a lot, why don't I build a Victorian cottage? (I mean, technically it's a house but cottage sounds a bit more charming). This was a really interesting model for me to design. I actually started with the balcony and the tower, and then built downwards from there until I reached the baseplate. From there, (because it was all in one step in the stud.io file at that point), I ended up separating the entire model piece by piece, and building it again from the ground up! I am definitely the type of builder who will build everything at once and organically flow into a completed model. Only to find it is in one big step with no indication of how I got there. Wasn't going to fly for the contest, since we needed to build instructions. When I started building, because it was actually going to have more of a rectangular shape with a porch in front of the tower, I made one of the gable ends longer. But that really made the roof angles wonky. So instead, I decided to make it more or less the same on either side, which worked out in regards to the gable ends. The shell design over the windows on the tower went through several iterations before I found the one I liked. To add further complication, the whole model was then split into three parts, built again from the ground up, and instructions were made for those three parts. There were a few part problems to work out along the way, this step was incredibly helpful. The submodels were then reincorporated back into the final model with an accompanying 628 page instruction component. And of course part problems cropped up everywhere which meant the instructions had to be formatted again a whopping three times! What a journey! I think I definitely know the model inside and out by now. The most challenging part for me was working on the roofs. I am definitely not the best at coming up with angles and figuring out how to make those work, it definitely took a lot of time and a lot of trial and error. There was also a hilarious mishap at one point realizing that the detailed, hinged roof that I intended to be able to open and close would not open at all, and instead it just crashed into the porch roof. Which prompted a redesign to a more doll-house open wall style build. Oh, and there's no toilet. Which is a bit of an inconvenience for whichever minifigs end up buying this house, but it's nothing a little redecorating can't solve. The furniture was pretty fun to create too. I'm not the best at coming up with fantastic unseen-before techniques, so a lot of it more basic. It was a great experience to be able to build this model. The idea was rather spontaneous, and I settled on the Victorian house theme because I've always loved Victorian architecture. I especially loved the Monster Fighter's Haunted House, and I wanted to create something that had somewhat close to the accessibility of a dollhouse while still having the stability and bulk to be a stand-alone display model. There was quite a bit of trial and error on the trim, some of the pieces clashed in ways that the program wouldn't detect until it was too late. But overall, I'm very satisfied with how the build turned out! This MOC I've currently entered into the Bricklink BDP Series 1 contest that's currently ongoing, and it has just entered the voting phase. If you like this model and think it would be a great set someday, I'd encourage you to vote for it here: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-1/212/Victorian-Cottage Thank you for reading! :)

Apple Square Research Center is a 4-story 96x96 modular building conceived as a revision to my original Apple Square University. Designed entirely in Lego Digital Designer (Stud.io needs an update before I could adapt), this iteration is also influenced by a locale in a Japanese RPG (サクラ大戦3), the Antwerpen-Centraal Station in Belgium, as well as my ongoing career as an electrophysiologist. ASRC and ASU will be on display together at the next Brickworld Chicago (June 20-21, 2020). For more, follow me on flickr or instagram.

With the reissuing of the Black Falcon’s faction in the current Blacksmith set and in the lego creator 3 in 1 castle set, I thought it was the right time to give the Black Falcons back a proper fortress. For me such a fortress has to be based on the iconic fortress in set 6074 from 1986. Lego already did a re-release in 2012, but this was an exact copy of the 1986 set. Now 10 years later, with modern lego bricks we can give it a fresh new look up to today’s standards. Like in the orginal set, in my build the front of the fortress has 2 octagonal towers surrounding the drawbridge. This special tower shape gave the 1986 set it’s iconic look, so this shape was a must to include in this MOC. In the back of the fortress, the defensive walls in the corners are also half octagonal shaped to continue this unique look. Also like in the original in the back on the right side, there is a square tower with a pyramid shaped black roof (with the old style slopes). In the back on the left, I deviated somewhat from the orginal layout to create much larger living quarters. The yellow-black wall in the watchtower in the 1986 set is replaced by a whole yellow-black dining room on the first floor and an attic on top in this section. The positioning of the roof and chimney are pretty close to the orginial, but way bigger. There's a lot of detail cramped up in a 40x40 brick footprint so it can be used as a display piece on a shelf. But like the 6074 set it can open up completely and every function becomes accessible. Play functions: a drawbridge a forge a kitchen a dining room an attic for storage with pulley system a market/shop a jail a water well a secret wall I’m still waiting on some parts to finish the live build, so therefore I finished it first in studio and created already some renders. Actual photo’s will be added later on.

hello LEGO fans around the world today 10th August 2022 lego celebrates their 90th anniversary and to celebrate I made a LEGO ideas MOC called THE BEGINNING OF THE LEGO HISTORY (90TH ANNIVERSARY Based on Ole kirk's house the place where the LEGO Group began their journeyIf you would like to see this one day become a real LEGO set and reach 10,000 support, please share and support it than at lego ideas:)https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:ddb75bfdf7644f8386cb25501c7a685eI also wish every LEGO fan and AFOL a happy 90 years of play and let's hope for many more great years to come. In the middle of the roof is a handle where you can easily lift the roof and view the details underneath. The office is the place where Ole Kirk came up with his ideas. In the office there are construction drawings of the house and of the wooden toys like the duck and a bus. The room contains several details such as an old-fashioned phone on the wall and a typewriter on the desk and many more small details to discover. the living room is the please where Ole Kirk can quietly drink a cup of tea while his grandson Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen builds a LEGO rocket with the new prototype parts in the year 1958. There is also a seating area in the living room. the store was the place where Ole Kirk sold his wooden toys like a number of iconic like the fire truck a blue car - truck - locomotive - plane and the wooden duck naturally. I also added an easter egg that refers to the Wooden Minifigure from 2019.

This is Assembly Square 10255 but slightly reduced to the scale of micro figur. Micro Assembly Square is my newest MOC but my first micro scale construction. I added as much detail as I could into the build. I think this is the most cheerful set of all high street sets. Nice shops with many play options. Not only did I make the building in micro format, but I also reduced the interior and street details to micro format so that you can really play with it again on a small scala.
