    It's wonderful how shape-wise this building's fairly simple, but the detailing on the façade is just outstanding. That curved railing is bloody beautiful. The colour scheme is pretty great as well. Well found

    Sometimes simplest is best. The first one is one of the simplest builds I've seen in a while that has had me staring at it for some time. It had very beautiful windowing on the ground and the top floors. The same can't be said for this one... You'll never walk alone!

    Very pretty top! Might have to try something like it in the future! Looks classy but at the same time modern.

    To get some extra visibility, you definitely should put it on many Lego-related Flickr groups and in the Lego subreddit. It surely will atract more people! About the collab we talked about some weeks ago, I've had a little fun idea which might be fun to try if you want (I'll private message you)

    I'd already seen that building on your Instagram before, but I wanted to comment anyway, as I think it's a very fine example of LDD modulars (because that's what I do!) It certainly looks out of the box and very interesting. Azure and dark red make a surprisingly nice modular combo. Who would've thought! The blue is not as exciting to me personally, maybe because I prefer somewhat skinnier modulars, but the red building looks abosultely superb. Nice colouring, shaping around the roof and windows, framing and flowering! But undobtedly, the passageway between both buildings steals the cake! These take fiddling to do in LDD due to the hitbox the pieces have around them (which creates collisions and whatnot), so they're appreciated. Very nice parts usages throughout, croissants... nice texturing, even on the back. Very solid work. Congrats!

    That name kills me!

    Nice one! Love the wheel hubs as windows. Some of the others you posted on earlier days are pretty great as well (the London Pub, for instance)

    Very nice layout! So many things stand out here, but for me the best are the paths. They interact beautifully with all the foliage and the nicely made lake and the gorgeous bridge crossing it. Making parks is always costly, as so many little pieces require quite a large pocket. I wonder if you've added any of the new 2018 flowers. I personally prefer the older ones you've put, but the newer come in other colours, so might be interesting. Any chance you'll build some trees to go with the park? PD: Love that hidden bust in the corner!

    The 1st floor is often 8-9 bricks tall, sometimes more, and the upper floors depend on what you're building. For a single upper floor (as in Brick Bank) it needs to be much taller than in a double upper floor (as in Assembly Square). For the upper floors 6-7 bricks works well for an Assembly Square-height modular (a bit taller than what we get now, but smaller than the older ones).

    Uuuuuuh! A modular Casa Batlló? I've tried it before in a 16x32 baseplate but couldn't really make it look that awesome. Around Barcelona, in Catalunya there's loads of architecture like Casa Batlló to be inspired by. There's this amazing Flickr account, which I alredy recommended to @LegoModularFan a while ago, that serves as plentiful of inspiration for these sorts of buildings, if you want to check it out it's pretty great.

    I was going to ask you on Flickr whether the micro or the bigger verison came first, but you've already answered it! Again, wonderful build. One day I should try to build a building the other way round, it surely must be a heck of a fun job adding details where you couldn't before Congrats!

    Wow! That sounds interesting! Light flesh is one of those colous that lies in the middle of the LDD palette that I hardly ever use. Just wondering, how do minifig heads align. One every two studs, one every 1.5 studs (brick+jumper)? Just curious. Recently, instead of choosing a single colour, I've been trying to come up with assemblies of pieces in different colours so that they work together to make another somewhat new and interesting colour, if that makes sense. If you have a cool idea of a modular to try, send one of those private messages through Eurobricks and we'll work from there. If I have a cool idea, I'll send you one. Number one rule: Never rush a modular @LegoModularFan !

    It looks wonderful in real bricks! It seems like you just pull them out of a magician's hat every couple months! The travel agency looks very nice as well, hope to see pics of the interior whenever you present it. With so many modulars you're gonna run out of colours to make them out of (that's happened to me!). Maybe we should build something together sometime in the future Looking forward to you give us next!

    Exactly, the shaping in the buildings is very nice, especially the green building's windows and the ground floors as well as the rooftops. Maybe it's the green that clashes a little too much with brown or the fact that the green building has the shape of a glamourous townhouse but not all the details about it (linings, carvings...) Maybe it's that, but this is great, I love it!
  15. paupadros
    Anything with intricate corners is something I like! Has a nice flair floating around it. The roofs look particularly brilliant and the tower feels like a slimmer verison of AS's. The colours work nicely, but they're a little strange. I try never to criticise someone else's work (even less if it is nice!), but, while I like it, it seems lo lack a certain something.
  16. paupadros
    You are the man! Right up there with the Record Store as your best. As others have mentioned, the roofing and especially the dormers look absolutely awesome. And the sand green fence beign part of the floor killed me. So good! Eagerly waiting for it. Again, for any design doubts, just ask! There is just one little thing that looks a little out of place to me: the sand green building. Maybe it lacks more distinguished of a roofline or a more defined wall. It just kind off fades in the distance, to say it someway.
  17. paupadros
    Awesome ones @LegoModularFan ! The Chinese Old Building defientely steals the cake, though. In the middle of the mess, some sort of thing pops up! The shaping in the first two is very very good as well
  18. paupadros
    Thanks for the mention! I do know you like that model very much! Oh! I do remember the first one! I think it got 10K on Ideas, didn't it? The roof had a crazily complicated way of working due to all the 45-degree linings. The second one is pretty cool as well. It reminds me of a model of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow which was pretty bizarrely crazy. Lent me find it... Here it is

    Some (many many) pages ago, when BB was released, there was a rumour of it being designed by Marcos, due to the signature on the huge pay check saying something like "M...". As of single of multiple buildings on a baseplate (thx for the mention @LegoModularFan!), I'm all for it. It spices up the cityscapes and gives a chance to idea that would otherwise be scrapped for full buildings. Having multiple buildings also opens up the possiblity of squares, alleyways and different layering when it comes to buildings (one more slightly in front than another, for instance), so I see them as a 1. realistic and 2. fun way to make modulars better. The flesh/nougat building is well sorted out, in my opinion. I'll accept the blue building does not have the greatest interiors, but hey, everybody seemed to complain about wasting so many pieces on interiors not so long ago, and now we're getting picky about the second and third floors. And while you mention AS. To get to the dentist having to walk through a bakery. Sure... Nevermind, Lego should be fun and modulars always are regardless of dumb storylines (just for the record, I love the exterior of the blue building on DO. One of my favourites from the series, if not the best)

    DD definetly has a different flavour than the other modulars. First off, while (I believe) both Jamie and Mike are Americans, Jamie seems to have a slightly more european eye than Mike. The shaping, the colouring etc., whereas Mike's diner is a little bit all over the place; it has really nice areas, but also parts that are seriously lacking. I'll admit (though a real Jamie fanboy) that Mike has put amazing techniques that Jamie would never drop in a modular. The snotted façade or the front archway to say two. I don't really like either of the two designs Astrid did, thay just lack... charisma? Oh, yeah. The top roof at first sight felt somewhat un-Jamieish. I mean... No chicken or parrots floating around!? Designing only certain afternoons, from twice to four times a week you can have a modular TOTALLY done within 2-3 months. Besides, they can be working on two models at a time

    Hadn't been on my own topic for a while! Sand Red is (I think) one of the number one "on the want list" to be remade in the way Teal was. It's funny how there are (if I haven't miscounted), 8 shades of blue and 8 more of green (and 50 shades of grey), but only two variants of red. Salmon would be also an interesting colour to get back (aside from the Mustard colour we debated some months ago which would totally blow my mind)

    You're the best! Jesus! Had not even realised it was a rebuild of GE! That FB MOD is bloody brilliant as well. Might prefer this to the real one... Hmmm... Have you read my mind or something? . Copying is not my style, but hey, I told you through private messages I was making something a little more modern but definitely not this (though might be fun trying) My first posting as of cool modulars (dunno, might have already been posted, but not sure) Amsterdam Hotel by Barry Crossan and a fun little thing I found the other day:
  23. paupadros
    I love this one! The black section looks particularly impressive, beautiful shaping in such limited space. The 45-degree tiles on the flowerboxes are very much my motto
  24. paupadros
    Hadn't seen it myself, you should be proud of this model, it's brilliant.
  25. paupadros
    Hadn't seen you'd highlighted it, it's one of my favourites. The other modular is just beautiful all way round. I'm not sure if you can, but if you could it would be interesting to place the modulars you highlight on the first post
