    I think 75% of my parts collection is from BL, PAB and B&P. I don't know whether it was the cheapest way, but I steadily keep amassing more bricks. When I build a new MOC I first look at BL vs. B&P prices and order a large chunk from B&P (usually all small plates and tiles are cheaper there). When doing so I "round" up my lots to optain additional pieces to stock up slowly but steadily. I do the same when ordering from Bricklink. This is usually due to a seller having a minimum buy. I fill up to the minimum buy amount with additional pieces or round up pieces I'm buying. I always keep a "Wanted List" with general stuff in there (like 1x2 bricks for walls or plates, tiles, etc.). For PAB I usually check the PAB wall in Hamburg every two weeks and when I see useful parts (again plates, tiles, 1x2 bricks) I fill up one or multiple cups. I must've bought something like 30 large cups by now which should be something like 18.000 parts (average of 600 parts per cup, maybe more) for around 525€, so around 0,03€ per piece. I rarely buy any sets to part them out, but I plan on doing so more often. If modular buildings are on sale and end up with a price per ratio of about 0,05€ it's an awesome deal, since you have to keep in mind that you also receive a lot of special parts which you would never get BL, PAB or B&P for 0,05€ per piece. You also get minifigs. Even if it hurts to part out modulars, there is hardly any better way to stock up on pieces for modular MOC'ing. You have to throw in some other bricks however, otherwise your MOC's will all loke like alternative builds for the existing modulars due to color schemes. ;-)

    Amazing build! As other stated already the details are just plain awesome.

    Printes tiles that I use/used a lot: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3068bpb0408&idColor=69#T=C&C=69 http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3069px5&idColor=1#T=C&C=1 http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3069bpb030&idColor=1#T=C&C=1 http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3068bpb0883&idColor=1#T=C&C=1 http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3068bpb0381&idColor=1#T=C&C=1 http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3069bp01&idColor=1#T=C&C=1 And maybe more that I don't remember of the bat. All in all pretty standard pieces used for modular interiors.

    Nice! Looks very accurate! The exhaust pipe under the car adds a nice detail.

    That's pretty awesome. However I have to admit I did not watch the whole movie. ;-)

    Great one. As others said the bananas at the roof are quite amazing. I also like the various micro builds!
  7. peedeejay
    Absolutely incredible in every aspect. Those buidlings are freaking awesome!

    For me this is your best character build so far. The hair, the face, the coat. Absolutely beautiful with clever part usage and a wonderful color choice!
  9. peedeejay
    Great one! The face really is the best part!
  10. peedeejay
    Awesome build with a very realistic look!

    Thank you for your kind words. Thanks a lot!
  12. peedeejay
    This looks fantastic. Well done!

    Saw this at the fanweekend in Skaerbaek and was blown away. Outstanding!

    The pillars between the two windows were done the same way like at the Book Store (Bob's). I am using two intertwined parts which result in the outer white lines being both tiles with the upper side facing the window. This the case for the front (outside) and the back (inside) resulting a nice a smooth look. Using a single block for the pillar would result in at least one side showing the underside of a plate. The following pictures should give a good explanation. Maybe someone finds them helpful.

    This is absolutely beautiful.

    Thanks everyone! Yes, the pillars next to the windows are build with 1x2 sand red bricks.
  17. peedeejay
    A wonderful build. The facade looks very grand and the interior details are fantastic!
  18. peedeejay
    Mighty impressive build. I envy your dedication to keep on going even after starting over several times. The outcome is well worth it!

    Hi everyone, I would like to present my 7th modular building (or 8 to 11 depending on how you want to count them ;-)): A quad-pack of 16-wide modulars representing four different shops within an oldtown. A book store, an electronic store, a hardware store and a pawn shop. Every store has a designated owner. I always wanted to build a street with multiple 16-wide when I got the Pet Shop some years ago and kinda started with my Bakery and Fishmonger but then I got "distracted" with several 32-wide buildings. I wanted to start with another double pack but I still had ideas for the additional two already so I thought why not build four in a row. Moreover I kinda crossed 4 things of my "want to use for a modular" list: Build a modular with dark orange, olive green, sand green and use sand red (this one hurt a bit due to the cost though :-)). Below is a selection of pictures. All of them can be found at: http://www.kawano.de/LEGO/ As always building instructions are up for sale in case you want to build them as well (or a single one)! Statistics Time for digital design: around 90 hours Time for the build: around 16 hours Part count total: 11412 Bricklink orders: 36 (could have been less, but I did them in two sessions with two 16-wide each)

    This looks quite different from what you usually see and I like it a lot!
  21. peedeejay
    Awesome micro build. The fence and trees made out of robot arms are my favourite parts!
  22. peedeejay
    Impressive build! Looks very realistic. The usage of curved train tracks for a curved roof above train tracks is funny and ingenious at the same time. :D
  23. peedeejay
    This looks very cool (pun intended ;-)). Stunning rockwork with the snow on top!
  24. peedeejay
    One word: Cooool! (Pun intended ;))
  25. peedeejay
    Impressive build! The details are very well made and thr mosaic floor ist absolutely gorgeous!
