  1. I got the Lilo and Stitch beach house (set 43268) on March 1st, with the intent of making it have a back half and fit on a removable modular baseplate. I removed the flying saucer-thing from the roof and got rid of all the new reddish orange from the model, while more furniture was added. All the Disney-centric parts were removed as well, so it is now just a regular house. front of the house The rear of the house. The inside details of the front half. This includes a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. The inside details of the back half feature the dining room and the other half of the bathroom. Here's the modular base without the easily-removable house attached. This car is a MOD of 2021 set 40448 - Vintage Car GWP (from Ideas) I removed the surfboards from the side, and altered the way the colors a bit on the back, and a few other things I can't recall. The figure standing in the picture is the owner. rear of the car The car seats two, as in the original set (please pardon the brush fibers) Thoughts? Post updated with real world pictures on 4/12/25
  2. Here is my recently completed 19th custom modular building (if I counted correctly) which is inspired by a 2012 Haunted House LEGO model - set number 10228, to be precise. I made the Victorian-styled house un-haunted, changed the colors and made the house have lift-away floors instead of a opening like a dollhouse. The back door was removed in order to fit the house on a baseplate, and each floor has detailed furnishings. For this car model I took another set of free instructions from user @Leewan and modified them in major ways. You can view the original MOC here on Rebrickable. This picture is a little washed out... the actually-yellow car looks almost bright light orange. (Sorry!) The house's front, without the car and figures. The rear of the house. The ground floor has a fireplace, chairs, couch, a phonograph, and a grandfather clock. The upper floor has a bed, organ, and a trio of bookcases, among other things. I put a seance table in the attic. Why, you ask? first, a bit of background info: Following The First World War and the loss of so many people to the meat grinder known as trench warfare and the following influenza pandemic, spiritualism saw a resurgence in the 1920s and mediums were called into houses across the country to have the dead family members speak through them. (Naturally, this was a bunch of feel-good hocus pocus mixed with disguised party tricks - the 'mediums' usually hoodwinked the families while making them believe the dead have been reached, all while making good money off the bereaved families.) The long and short of it is, the couple who own the house lost a son to the Great War, and are trying to communicate with him in the beyond. For my changes to the car I turned the color from white to yellow (red and black copies have also been built), replaced the Speed Champions wheels, saucer hubcaps, and teacup headlights with other parts that suit my tastes more. I also substituted the older one-piece Racers grille with cheaper parts as well. The 3x3 round dish on the back end is supposed to be a spare tire cover. The removable roof design was also changed from the original MOC to be stronger. There is also a bit of space behind the headrest for some luggage. The couple who own the house and car. Thoughts?
  3. I absolutely love Victorian houses (there are quite a few in my neighborhood), and I've been trying to replicate them in brick form. My first couple of attempts did not go entirely well, but I'm very satisfied with this MOC in progress! Hoping to be able to build it in real bricks soon (minus the windows, those are custom parts primarily for the rendered photos). I'm also in progress on trying to make kitchen furniture as well, the stove has been a huge challenge for me! Originally the color was tan with all the window frames and everything brown, but I thought the color didn't pop as much as I wanted, so I changed the frames to white, and later the "paint" color to olive green. Of course, with the limitations of eventually building this in physical bricks, there were some bricks that weren't available in olive green, so that explains the tan stripes and random tan pieces. I think I will make a couple extra modifications when building it physically, such as adding some half-walls to complete the interior dollhouse look. The floor is also not as stable looking as I'd like, so I'll figure out some type of fortification underneath it for stability! All these photos are my "polished" Flickr page photos. Hope you like it!
  4. Hello Lego Castle and Medieval fans, Welcome to the Castle of the Red Mountain Kingdom! It is my second entry to Bricklink designer Program Series 7 and it can be supported by voting and commenting: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-7/2644/Red-Mountain-Kingdom's-Castle It includes many details such as Gothic and Romanesque windows, round texturized bastions, flags, coat or arms, a brick built gate, plants and brick built trees. The building is foldable and in the opened version the rooms and halls are visible. There is a throne hall, the king's bedroom with a treasure chest, a dining hall, a kitchen with a masonry oven, a blacksmith's forge with an anvil, a prison in the basement, servants' quarters. All doors work. The set includes 11 minifigures (including the statue) and some animals which provide many playability options. Dimensions of the castle (closed): Width: 56.4 studs / 17.7 in / 45.1 cm Length: 39.5 studs / 12.5 in / 31.6 cm Height: 76.4 studs / 24.1 in / 61.1 cm I love castles as well and therefore I decided to design one for the Bricklink Designer Program series 7. It is not actually based on a real building, but was inspired by some famous castles and it is a bit smaller, but more detailed version of my earlier King's Castle. I hope you enjoy this set. Many thanks for your support and feedback! Thank for visiting, _TLG_
  5. I've had this MOC (originally inspired by the bank from set 79109, Colby City Showdown from the 2013 Lone Ranger theme) made in the real world for about a decade, and I thought it was high time to redo it into a modular style, as it is very close to that scale / size. I added a new neon sign out front that says 'piano bar' to the model, as the old 'saloon' one was removed seven years ago and it didn't look good anyway. You can view the original 2015 neon sign here. The 1890s-style building has two floors, a flat roof, and a removable base for easy conversion from modular to non-modular. The rear of the building really hasn't got any details. On this level are the bar where drinks are served, a few tables, and the stairs to the second floor. Of course, with this build being set in the 1920s, all the drinks are non-alcoholic. (...or at least they're supposed to be!) On the second floor is the piano and more tables. I can just about hear the piano player now... Thoughts, comments, questions and so on are welcome!
  6. 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 building folds open dollhouse style. Inside the front we have the entryway / foyer, and living room, with bedroom upstairs. In the back we have the dining room and stairway, all with the proper furniture for each room. The modular footprint is removable from the building. I like the late-1930s car from 2015 San Diego Comic Con set 'Action Comics 1 - Superman', but don't particularly like the colors - or the insane price! So I used the instructions and built my own version in dark blue. The car has a number of changes from the set, but it still seats one figure at the wheel. The rear of the car. Inside the car, featuring the drivers seat. ...apologies for the dust everywhere. I don't know where it came from, I just built this MOC last week! Thanks for viewing!
  7. Hey, I'd like to present my latest creation, the Microscale Townhouses! I usually build in minifigure scale, so it was quite challenging for me to build in microscale this time, but I had so much fun designing this model. I created building instruction for it too, just to practice using Stud.io and I also made a 3D website where you can view the MOC from all angles, and download the instructions if you'd like to build these houses or just check the different building techniques I used in it. ;) Hope it's okay to link it here: https://brickjonas.com/microscale-townhouses
  8. This modular building-style corner LEGO store was heavily inspired by set 31105 (Townhouse Toy Store from Creator) while the LEGO delivery truck is modified version of the postal vehicle from set 10222 (Winter Village Post Office) whereas the sidewalk burger stand is directly taken from 60404. (City Burger Truck) 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 burger stand's roof also is removable. 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. 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!) EDIT 11/16/24: Models finished in real life - pictures added, and text updated in the first post! Thoughts?
  9. Following the events of The LEGO Movie 2, Emmet Brickowski got to work on building Lucy and himself their dreamhouse again. He made it a bit bigger, a little better, and a lot stronger... just in case of any future Duplo attacks. It also features an attic for extra storage space, on top of the already-new second story. It is a modular style building, with removable floors and connection pins. The furniture (and house colors) were partially inspired by set 70831: Emmet's Dream House/Rescue Rocket, and a few of the official modular buildings. The car was modeled after the 1957 Plymouth Fury, made famous by the Stephen King book "Christine". (It's also a 1983 horror movie of the same name.) I took the original model of the Christine car made by user @hachiroku, which I would link to but can't seem to find anymore... The rear of the house has the entry point to the Duplo Fallout shelter. Why a fallout shelter? Well, the house is from the late 1950's after all... plus, the Duplo creatures are bit rougher in their attitudes and might go about doing something drastic if they don't get their way. Upstairs is the only bedroom, which is plenty big enough for Lucy & Emmett with their respective pictures on the wall above the bed. (They are stickers, sadly) Downstairs is the living and dining rooms, plus the kitchen. It also has the connection pins to hook into the modular building standard. I don't have any real world pictures of the vehicle (yet), but it's been built in real life for some years now... I just have to photograph it. Instead, here are the screenshots I took of the model in 2017 below: The car was modeled after a certain red '57 Plymouth Fury. I made the car black instead of red and took off the parts which I thought would be unstable. This meant taking off the rear wheel covers, revising the front bumper, adding different wheels and a few other small things. The rear of the car features a very ingenious set of taillights. Kudos to Hachiroku for this simple, elegant design! I've already started parts finding for the house part of this project (and I've made quite a dent in the price), so keep your eyes peeled for more pictures coming soon! (Also, I know the parts are kind of dusty, they've been sitting on my desk a while.) As usual, thoughts, complaints, comments and questions always welcome!
  10. Hi, the Mediterranean Villa is now on LEGO Ideas, hope you like it and vote for it!! thanks!! LEGO IDEAS - Mediterranean Villa
  11. Hi everyone. I'm new here, and I really, really wanted to show you my latest MOC... the legendary Scrooge McDuck's Moneybin. The project is also available on Lego Ideas (link at the end of the post), but first let me give you a tour, so you can check with your eyes if it's worth your vote . Be sure to scrool the pictures till the very bottom. I promise you won't regret it. LEGO SCROOGE MCDUCK'S MONEYBIN by Matteo Sperati, on Flickr This is the front, with the iconic huge dollar sign. The armored door is the first element of playability: it can be opened and closed pulling the two bars attacched at the side of each half. Also, it is not very clear from the picture, but the small stairway has two lion heads at the bottom, to give the entrance an imposing and intimidating touch As you can see is quite a tall building (33,3 cm, or if you prefer 34 bricks, from the baseplate to the top of the dome). On the roof we have the famous dome, that here I adapted into an helicopter landing pad. I couldn't not include the cannon to shoot at the evil Beagle Boys and a telescope to read the newspapers for free. Ok, now the interior. I wanted this set to be fun for adults to build and extremely fun for kids to play with, so it had to be easy to access every feature. The easiest way was to put the front wall on a separeted baseplate, so all you have to do to 'get in' is to push it away. As for the floors, they can be easily removed thanks to the trail design: they slide in the groove bricks inside the external walls, so it's easy to get into action And now the ground floor. I designed to be the most intimidating possible. Imagine: you are a business man and you have a meeting with the richest and toughest duck in the world. As soon as you enter, you don't have the time to enjoy the nice floor with dollar mosaic because you notice that a security camera is pointing at you. The frame with "TIME IS MONEY" also is not very welcoming, you wait your turn on the green sofa... and then you realize that is placed right in front of a giant anti theft protection cannon. As if it this wasn't enough, you also have a Scrooge McDuck's painting that seems look at you. AND IT IS, because that wall hides a secret passage, with an hole to spy from behind the painting... but what's so important that Scrooge wants to hide? Treasures, of course. What else do you expect from the richest and most adventurous duck in the world? Notice also the black lever to turn back the secret passage ;) Here you can enjoy the anti-theft protecion cannon in action... "Say hello to my little friend" And now the first floor, with the private rooms of Scrooge. On the corridor, a picture of him from when he was to work as gold prospector in Klondike, but most of all, the frame that says "There is no such a thing as talent, only inspiration and ambition". But let's see better the others room... Have you ever tried sleeping on a canopy bed made of 100 dollar bills? Trust Scrooge, you will sleep like a baby Sleep well, but get up early: Scrooge knows it well, he even has a frame in front of his bed to remember it. On the bedside table, a nice family picture from great comic writer Don Rosa. SALON 1 by Matteo Sperati, on Flickr And now the salon, or is it better to call it "Worry Room" ? Why do you think that carpet is threadbare that way? Scrooge's nervous walking, of course. What a shame, it was only 60 years old . We also have a library, a pendulum clock and a marble bust with laurel leaves (I can easily Scrooge get inspired by great leaders from the past). Here is Scrooge, literally showering in money, happy as a baby. He even has the shower curtain made of dollars And finally the second floor, with his big office. This is definitely my favorite floor, I made sure to put EVERY SINGLE DETAIL that I remember from the comics: EVERY SINGLE ONE. There is the giant vault door, the display case with his beloved number 1 dime, the earth globe, the weelbarrow full of coins, the pyramid of coins with Donald polishing them, the money bags, the graphic wih his profits skyrocketing, the gun on the wall, the desk with multiple phones and an old crank calculator... but wait, what's that lever under his desk? This is my favorite feature. I didn't like the classic way to make the trapdoors work, with the stick to be removed and then manually put back. No, I wanted it to feel real, so I designed the mechanism in a way that opens the trapdoor when you push the lever forward, and automatically closes it when you pull it back. What do you think about? Please let me know Ok... now the moment you were all waiting for...what it would be the MoneyBin without the giant money pool with his 3 cubic acres of cash? Let me explain how it works: sure, you could open the vault hatch, but to access the money pool, we actually have to go to the back. The back wall can be removed (it's easy to pull thanks to four bricks that stick out). With the back wall removed, we can admire the money pool thanks to the 9 big transparent panels . We have the trampoline, the giant meter to measure the level of cash... and not a single coin. why? Maybe the Beagle Boys stole it all? No, it's empty because you are the one going to fill the MoneyBin. The MoneyBin is in fact a giant piggy bank, that you can fill through the apposite coin slot on the back of the roof. Once filled, this is the final result AND NOW THE IMPORTANT PART... Guys, this project is available on Lego Ideas at the following link --> https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a633c276-5b5b-40fe-badd-217263dc37a8? Probably you all know what Lego Ideas is, but in case you don't, here is how it works: 1) users (in this case me) upload their creations 2) other users vote them clicking the yellow button support (you need to have a Lego account, it's free to create one) 3) When a project reaches 10.000 supporters, Lego's experts will take it in exham to evaluate if produce it as an official Lego Set. Very simple. Thanks to all the ones who will help this project become real
  12. Hello there, I´m about to expand the digital city and want you to have a part in the future planing. This is the current layout: The expansion will be on the right side, continuing the big long street. For this I need 2 new building right of the pub building. The first one will be build on a 16x32 baseplate. The second building will be a fire station. I´m not sure about the size of the fire station. Maybe I will be using 2 32x32 baseplates side by side. Now I need you for some Ideas. 1.: What do you want for the first (16x32) building? It should get the same height like the pub building. In the ground floor we can add another small store or public area. You can also tell me your favourite color which we can use for this building. 2.: Do you prefer a modern shaped fire station like one of this: Or an older one like this: I would be very happy if you write me your suggestions. If you have any other ideas for expanding the city you can also tell me. Thanks for your help
  13. Hello! I'm opening a new topic. I'm slowly running out of ideas for my microcity. Now a new direction - is the modular micro castle. The base is still the same - 16x16 plate. Thanks for attention! I will be glad to receive your comments :) Fortress wall with a main gate, a rising bridge and a traditional moat :)
  14. This is a realistic version of the Bobcat S130. This LEGO TECHNIC model built for 1:14 in scale. Functions: moving piston working lift arm tipping bucket Dimensions: long: 230mm wide: 115mm high: 150mm (with bucket lowered) Bricks of the set: about 670 piece Look at the other pictures and If you like this model please support on the LEGO IDEAS side.

  15. 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.

  18. Hi everyone, I am working on a moc (speed champion scaled vehicle) and I have run into an issue. I would like to attach the black tile to the structure so there is no gap between them. I have tried a few things but they ended up being illegal or left a gap. Hopefully some is able to help as I am getting a little frustrated haha here is a picture: https://ibb.co/ZWNjXxx
  19. Hello everybody, it’s five years since my last presented MOC, so it‘s time to share the latest building for my medieval town. The layout: The village itself consists of 32x32 modules of scenes that are to be expected in such an environment, so you can find the city walls or residential buildings. The module shown here will be the inn on the market square, more or less the best house on the square. The technical details: The visible, not very nice to look at, substructure disappears when the future modules are next to each other. I didn't want to retouch this because it belongs to the building and without it cellars or shifts in height would not be possible. Both baseplates can be separated from each other by removing the middle section at the first floor. Every section is modular, but without interior. Many construction techniques are not my own, especially the small door frames or the window constructions of the ground floor level are copied. Unfortunately I don't know from whom, as it's been a long time since I built these. Minifigs: 10 Parts: about 11.500 The environment: The two connected parts of the building stand above the old Roman road, which frays into the market square. At the rear there will be a small square with the stables and a well, the front part is on the market square. The layout is medieval with fantasy elements, so that the group of minifigures in the foreground can consist of a knight, a magician, an elf and a dwarf. Have fun watching, more pictures of this MOC and other modules can be found on Flickr. Front_Cover by Tabaya, auf Flickr Corner_backside_1 by Tabaya, auf Flickr
  20. For this project we focused on the aesthetics and design of the facades, while making sure that the set offers a lot of possibilities and playability for the Afols : for those who like to display their LEGO set, the Movie Set will be an optimal choice, as it makes an optimal use of pieces for that purpose the set can be used to reproduce scenes from cult movies by combining the different facades, for those who like to take pictures or make brick films, the set would make a great background scenery you can make a tracking shot with your smartphone over 1 meter long, thanks to a cart specially designed for that purpose, for those who have a LEGO city, the Movie Set would make a very nice background finally, for those who like big LEGO buildings, all facades can be put together to form a single building that would fit well together with other modular buildings Details and support : https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:41b6612863004734856253c8dd78fb2c
  21. Villa Del Balbianello is a lakeside villa in Italy built in 1785 expanding on an existing structure from the 13th century. With later additions added throughout the years such as relics added from an explorer. It was also featured in films such as Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) and James Bond: Casino Royale (2006). Also a set on LEGO Ideas: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/85ec2902-0e20-40a8-9b18-4a79c9f560af
  22. My latest creation, Galaxy Cliff Lighthouse, reflects a desire to create an autobiographical MOC to share joy and pain non-verbally. It was inspired aesthetically by Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior, thematically by Voyage of Life (1842) by Thomas Cole, and structurally by Obelisk Overpass, Boulder Dam, plus an early draft of River Wheel (featuring pirate ship gondolas rather than lumber). In fact, the 96 x 96-stud plot vacated by the dismantled River Wheel fed my drive to combine structures absent from my Lego city—a bridge, dam, and Ferris wheel. As you may imagine from the photos, a hilltop lighthouse teeters over an ocean, beneath a collection of galaxies spiraling through the nighttime sky, while a shooting star passes overhead. The light and dark figurative sailboats represent positive and negative memories, while the logarithmic spiral of galaxies in the sky is reflected in the earth below by the failed attempt of humankind to overcome the nature of life itself.

  23. Here is a little house set in Varlyrio that served as a prize in the 2020 Summer Joust. It was compliant with the restrictions of the Purist Parts category: "Only 1x1 brick with stud on one side, 1x2 brick with two studs on one side, and 1x4 brick with four studs on one side are allowed outside of traditional square plates and bricks. All other elements are not allowed to be used visibly, or inside your model." Which was a real challenge, especially at this scale. Thanks for looking, feedback welcome
  24. I am trying to make the following shape in a relatively sturdy fashion? the size would be approx 20 cm diameter. Any ideas what techniques I could try?
  25. Happy New Year all! I have started this as a new topic as I hope to post video and photo updates on my latest MOC, my Hogwarts Castle. Here is the first video I have created about it which is a general overview - any comments or suggestions are much appreciated and I will try and get back to everyone. Thank you!
