#13 Hospital Year built: 2017 Pieces: 1380 bricks I designed this mini hospital / clinic to fill the half plate space next to the Assembly Square. Minifigs can walk in at street level, and register at reception. Then there is an elevator connecting the levels. One level for diagnose, one for treatment and one for recreation. See more at my flickr site.

I really like the design, but the deck looks a little bit too colorful for my taste.

#12 [MOD] Corner Bike Shop Year built: 2017 Pieces: 2584 bricks I think everyone knows the original Bike Shop by @lookl It's just simply perfect. Except, that I needed more corner buildings, not straights. So I modded it to be a corner one. The elevator still works. More images at my flickr page.

#11 Factory Year built: 2016 Pieces: 2531 bricks This is my factory building, with road, rail and port connections.

One week after the announcement of a contest there are usually 10+ [TCxx] [WIP] tagged topics. Now I can only find a single one. I'm thinking since a week, what sould I build, but I have no idea. I checked the internet, what exists in the real world as a transforming vehicle. Not much. Transforming into a robot-like thing (similar to the sample image), and caravan/trailer enlarging in volume, and something like the winner of TC12. I'm afraid, this contest is a bit too hard, because requires some very original idea first...

#10 ClockTower Year built: 2018 Pieces: 3320 bricks This is the last building in my waterfront row, also an inverse corner modular on the other side, to connect smoothly to the normal modulars. The ClockTower landmark is visible from all districts of the city, also attracts tourists. There is a city map on the inverse corner, for tourists. There is also a small bay on the waterfront side with a jet-ski renting place: and everyone must drive under the bridge! TLG was so kind to release the 70620 Ninjago City with an almost perfectly compatible waterfront, so I could just easily copy the floorplan with the bridge, and I also added my favourite part, the house with the tree growing out from. I modded the house to have a half diagonal backside, so the tree could cover the little bay. I also recolored the foliage matching better to my city. The clocktower is a very slightly upscaled and rcolored version of the 10253 Big Ben, modded to have a working clock (both pointers!) on all four sides. The driving axle is coming from the blue round plate The black 20z gear drives 4x tan 12z half bevel gears. These are directly connected to the four minute pointers at each side. From the backward axle there is a 8z-24z gear reduction driving the axles at the top. Black 12z double bevel gears are used to split hour pointer driving for each side. At each four sides of the tower, there is a 8z-16z gear reduction inside the tower, and a further 8z-16z gear reductiion outside of the tower. That is a total of 1:12 gear reduction between the minute and hour pointers. And correctly working clocks at all four sides! I missed to take closeups, so here is one from LDD. There are stairs inside the tower, going up to the two flats. There is also a connection point at the corner of the building to the beach area.

#9 The Angel - Marina Hotel Year built: 2016 Pieces: 2134 bricks A city requires a hotel to support tourists. Unfortunately I don't have the Cafe Corner, also never tried to bricklink it. Instead I created my own hotel for the most frequently visited part of my city, to the waterfront area. It's not big, only two rooms with the reception and the dining tables, but has the direct look to the bay and features a pleasant atmosphere. Both room has access to their own balcony. There are two entrances, one to the waterfront, and the other on the side, which connects smoothly to the normal modular street. Visitors can also find one of the most famous landmark of the city survived since the Roman ages, just next to the hotel, the fountain called Angel in the Rain. And the usual final image: the hotel side-by-side with the city hall.

#8 City Hall Year built: 2015 Pieces: 1963 bricks This building was inspired by several palaces along the Grand Canal, Venice. My city required a city hall, but I did not really like the 10224 set, just its color scheme. So I designed my own city hall, next to the water. It has a wide stair at the entrance and a tower with an alley under it, connecting to the standard modular street. There is a reception and an office at the first level. At the second level there is a press room and the office of the mayor. And an image of the city hall with the restaurant.

#7 The Anchor - Marina Restaurant Year built: 2015 Pieces: 1968 bricks This building was inspired by city of Portofino (Italy). This city is really colorful, in all shades of yellow and red. I wanted to replicate this, however, we are still at 2015, when the availability of fame yellowish orange and cool yellow bricks were strongly limited, also expensive. But I managed to collect some to color the building. Here is a picture about the backside too, with the staircase to the flats. There are two flats: one at the left, and the other is at the center+right side. Both flats have their own internal stairs, with access to the rooftop. Only the kitchen of the restaurant is furnished, the small shop and the flats are unfurnished. One additional image about the waterfront, restaurant is side-by-side with the inverse corner modular. Extra I decided not to create a dedicated post for a modded Market Street. I bricklinked my Market Street in 2014, then I modded it to fit to the waterfront. It's a bit empty now, I plan to add a fish market here.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. And you still have a lot of space for buildings.

Looks cool, but I still think, that such a crowded city you have requires wider streets. I suggest you to increase the width of your streets from 4 studs (10 plates) to 6 studs (15 plates). Now, with 10 plates, you are restricted to two lanes, and their width is different. With 15 plates, you could have two lanes with an extra area reserved for parking lots. Example: lane (5), line (1), lane (5), dotted or yellow line (1), parking lane (3). You could plant trees between parking lots, etc... four lanes / avenue. Example: Double lane with or w/o center line (7), line (1), double lane with or w/o center line (7) With a smart design you would be able to seamlessly mix them. Extra details on the roads (like the new crosswalk) could add a lot to the overall view of the city.

#6 Inverse Corner Modular Year built: 2015 Pieces: 2968 bricks I wanted to try some new concepts, because negative corners also exist in the real word. Well, the face of an inverse corner modular building is strongly limited, either in size or style. Therefor the backside becomes more important, actually it should work like the front. The other side could be an other inverse corner, built around for example a square. But then I had a better idea: a waterfront for the city. Official modulars will grow the city, my moc modulars will form a waterfront. There is a cafe and a bakery on the base level, and there are several flats on the higher levels. This building does not really show its best face on the waterfront side alone, without the other buildings. It's just a core of something promising. The brown building at left side is based on an Amsterdam building, while the right side is in Italian style.

#5 Post Office Year built: 2017 Pieces: 2056 bricks Now I jump a little to year 2017 to present the post office. I do this because I took side-by-side images of the later modulars, and I used this building in one of the pictures. So this one must be presented first, and next time I will jump back to 2015. This building is strongly inspired by other's work: Paris 1889 - The Engineers by @castor-troy Post office by @frogstudio Florist by TheUniqueBricks PCB with SOIC by @viracocha The furnishing of the post office is very similar to the Brick Bank. I planned a designer office for the upper levels, with the PCB on the wall as the advertisement, but the rooms are currently almost empty.

#4 Institute of Oceanography with Aquarium Year built: 2014 Pieces: 2540 bricks The main researcher shows the newest development to the money guys. There is a conference room in the top level with the helipad. The research area is in the mid level, and the aquarium is at the base level. The public can visit it.

#3 Elevated railway station Year built: 2014, Upgraded: 2015 Pieces: 2030 bricks I really can't remember, why I wanted to build a railway station for my city, when I only had the Pet Shop, the Grand Emporium, and the Pierre Marcolini. Probably I wanted a train much more, than the station. A train, which I always wanted, when I was a child, but I never could have one. There were a lot of railway stations on the internet, and also in this forum. Some of them could fit into the modular line, but all of them had ground level rails. Ground level rails breaks the modular concept, and I wanted something fitting more smoothly into a city. So I decided to make the railway elevated, and also the station. This way roads can pass under the rails, level crossing are not needed. Just like in a real city. The concept is to have the 8 wide rail in line with a 8 wide platform, fits very nice on a 16 wide baseplate. At the first round I designed 3 modules, each hade 16x32 footprint. Two modules have stairs up to the platform, and there are a ticket office, a post office, an ATM and a phone booth under it. The third module have a covered platform area, and a park under it. The design allows single rail and dual rail station arrangements, but I only had 3 modules. So I decided to upgrade with more modules: I built two additional 16x16 footprint modules, and also a piece, which allows the platform to be extended over the street, so the platform can cross over the road and continue on the other side. The final design is very flexible. The station can be placed in between two modular buildings, or can stand freely in the middle of a square with a long streetfront. The dual rail version A possible single rail version, with train My city is much larger now, and I'm planning to extend the rails across the city. No new station modules, just rails. Extra - 7745 revival Year built: 2014 (diesel engine with carriges), 2017 (high speed engines) Pieces: 820 bricks THE TRAIN, I always wanted. Of course, time passed, and I designed a facelift version with PF electronics. The red curve is vignetted on the white train front. The original diesel engine is now only used for freight trains. I'm sorry, I know that 1600px wide image is against the forum rules/preferences, but this is the best way to present the train. Extra - Bus Year built: 2015 As there is a bus stop sign in the station too, I designed this modern London bus for the minifigs to continue their travel.

One week passed, here is the next modular. #2 8-wide Red Brick Year Built: 2014 Pieces: 632 bricks After finishing Pierre Marcolini with its 3000 bricks, I realized, this will be an expensive hobby. So I decided to build something smaller. Preferably the smallest modular possible. Taken into account the baseplates available, I selected 8x32 footprint. Masonry profile bricks were rather new at that time, and the dark red version released only later, at 2015. So I patterned the wall with dk red, old brown and reddish brown colors to simulate brick build walls. Furnishing is half finished, only middle floors are completed. I usually focus on exterior, my interiors are often incomplete or even empty. This is mainly because interior does not add anything to the look, when I put the modular into the vitrin. In this case I planned to add a bathroom to the top level, but finally left it empty, and promoted the building completed.

Thank you for the comments. Actually this modular was already displayed, only once, in a local lego exhibition. But never on the internet.

Huge work to complete all these micro builds. My favourite is definitely the heat-electro station. Very detailed and well designed.

Few years ago there were so many modular mocs here, on the city forum. I got a lot of inspirations from them, and started to build my own city, filling with modulars. Now, there are much less new modulars on the forum. So I decided to correct, what I neglected during the years: took photos of my modulars, and will show you here. I will post a new modular every week in this topic. Maybe I can inspire someone to design his/her brand new modulars. Some of my modulars are rather old, and their style reflects the official modulars from thoose years, and also the parts and colors availability. Let's start #1 Pierre Marcolini Year Built: 2013 Pieces: 2999 bricks This building was my first modular. It was inspired by a real building in Brussels, Place du Grand Sablon. There is a luxory chocolate shop inside.

Additional to the Old Block, I have several modern buildings too They are Marina Bay (Singapore), 1123 bricks The Arch (Hong Kong), 2979 bricks Tour Montparnasse (Paris), 1067 bricks. I reverse engineered this building, original by xtitus Commerzbank Tower (Frankfurt), 993 bricks. I reverse engineered this building, original by lowfatbricks Marina Bay OK, I know, it's just two towers instead of three, but it's already too big and hard to handle. The Arch

I started to build a small microscale city on four 32x32 baseplates, but the project slowed down. I have some standalone buildings, I can arrange them into a small block of old buildings. But no landscape yet It includes 21023 Flatiron Building (New York) Carbide and Carbon Building (Chicago), 519 bricks. I reverse engineered this building, original by Spencer_R Copur Apartments (Sim City 4), 913 bricks Buecher Apartments (Sim City 4), 592 bricks Copur Apartments Buecher Apartments

No, I'm afraid it is not compatible :(

You are right, it exists now. About a year ago, when I looked for the parts on the Aliexpress, I could not find white rims. Now, they are also available on Aliexpress.

First, thank you everyone for the comments. I completely forgot to add the mini model. This was one of my very first Technic moc, I created it about 8 years ago, or so... This was the motivation to build the big brother. The new Zetros tyres are very exciting, I look forward to see your tractor. I can show you a cleared LDD screenshot about the internal structures. First has the original colors, second is recolored by functions

I would like to show you my newest model, the Rába 250 tractor. I designed and built it at the end of the last year during the Covid wave, when I was forced to stay at home office. But only now took the photos. Features 4x4 wheel drive with center differential 4 cylinder engine 4 speed gearbox with the orange wave selector. The orange light on the top is the switch Articulated steering Opening hood and doors Rear PTO with on/off switch Manual control for the rear attachment Rear three point hitch Spraying (or seeding?) attachment with with lifting arms Unfortunately it is not perfect, because white rims do not exist in this size, not even Chinese parts. So I had to replace by LBG. See more photos on my flickr page HOG steering (also on the top). Black knob for the manual function of the attachment (lifting the arms in this case). Red switch for PTO on/off. Black gears for lifting the attachment.
