    The creative lead for the set was Jamie Berard, according to the video Pauolo linked above your comment.

    Check out this alt build for the museum: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-179615/steinekonig/library-lawyer-s-office/#details I built it and absolutely love it! Maybe it’ll make getting the museum worthwhile? :)

    Google defines an inn as “a pub, typically one in the country, in some cases providing accommodation”. Or “•HISTORICAL, a house providing accommodation, food, and drink, especially for travellers.” So in ye olden days it was more what you’re thinking, but also it sometimes still is today, but sometimes it’s just a pub.

    The ground floor, it’s basically a pub (or at least as close to one as LEGO is willing to get). I love this modular, it’s like the British version of the Detective’s Office.

    The only way I could see an inverted corner working, is if it were the back corner of a regular corner, if that makes sense. So the set would primarily be a standard corner, but you could turn it around so the back is facing the front, and you have an inverted corner.

    I think it might look good with fire brigade to the left and maybe brick bank to the right

    Talking about GWPs designed specifically to fit with the modulars, the flower cart GWP for detectives office had a barrel of cookies built in, it was actually part of the “smuggling” story.

    Sorry my bad

    Assembly Square had an even earlier October reveal. Everything else has typically been around early December. My guess is the earlier reveal for these extra-large modulars is meant to give people time to adjust to the additional cost.

    Exactly. What we have to remember is that Lego designers not only have to make something that looks good, but they have to it make stable and buildable. MOCers have no such limitations, and can make things as flimsy and as complicated as they like for the sake of detail. I think the designer of the jazz club did a great job.

    I definitely understand people not loving the blue. Although I do think it makes it ‘pop’ in a way that makes sense for this kind of establishment. I think I’ll have to see it in person to know for sure whether or not I like the colour.
  12. Ginger Ninja
    That makes sense, and it looks like his hairpiece is the same as in the poster. A great little detail if that is the case.

    A lot of people thought the police station was really bland, and they strongly disliked the layout with a skinny building either side of the main building. Parisian restaurant will probably remain one of the best for several more years, as it deserves to. People thought the brick bank was too small and didn’t like the laundromat on the side. The point is these buildings really grow on you if you let them. It is true that these days they are smaller on average than they used to be, but they are also more complex and detailed, due to the wider array of pieces available. I like the jazz club and look forward to adding to my collection.

    I personally find the box image much more flattering than the front on view.
  15. Ginger Ninja
    Definitely second this^^ At this point, it would add a lot of variety to have a large, wide building taking up the whole width of the baseplate.

    Also the bookshop has a similar thing going on. But I don’t think there has ever being a fully stained glass window design in the front facade of a modular building till now.
  17. Ginger Ninja
    Damn, loving this. Some really cool techniques. Check out the brick-built stained glass windows on the jazz club! I believe that’s something we haven’t got in a Modular before.

    It’s cool to see that people like my Corner Garage mod. After “tidying it up” to better match my tastes, I can say that it’s one of my favourite modulars, along with FB, DO, and the Police Station. (I prefer the old-industrial-brick-style buildings) Super excited to see next years’!!

    Hi fordtruckin, Thank you, and yes, I have some more pictures. Below is the Corner Garage without the pieces that usually hide the gaps (also below). I wanted to have as many connection points as possible, especially around the transitions between the floors and roof, as the final result looks smoother. The downside is that I had to make some changes to the plate structure that each floor is built on in order to make room for the stud-on-the-side bricks (hopefully that makes sense). Doing this does affect the structure of the building (mainly in that the floors are now harder to seperate, although that is not a big deal for me). Here are some close-ups of each floor. The white pieces are headlight bricks on their backs, they did not show up well on camera. Here is a close up of the roof. Again, I've used a headlight brick on its back. One more thing worth noting: I added a layer of dark oragne tiles to the top of the ground floor walls. This not only acts to border off the facade of the floor above but also it partially removes the overhang of the SNOT work that would otherwise be far more noticeable. (I placed my stud-on-the-side bricks so that the SNOT pieces would be flush with the wall at the top, not the bottom.) Hopefully this helps. Also I am happy to answer any further questions and provide any more pictures if you need them.

    Hi guys, Check out my modified Corner Garage. Full post and detailed description is at Eurobricks Corner Garage topic. https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/168813-10264-corner-garage/&page=24

    Hi guys, I know that this forum/topic is a bit old now but I think this is where I should post this. This is my modified Corner Garage. The main problem that I wanted to fix was the gaps on either side of the angled wall. I used 2x2 curved slopes attached with SNOT building to fill the gap. I also changed a few design features on the facade of the upper two floors and roof (I removed the curved corner tiles, removed the grey slopes under the windows, changed some of the window sills so that they were all uniform, etc.). Notice that I made the awning wider and that I also centered it to the building (this means that the two entrances/exits of the drive-through are now the same width). In the photo below you can see how I have tidied up the ground floor exterior. I replaced the white 1x1 round bricks (at the joins between the walls) with technic pin connectors and 1x1 round plates with bars to give a smoother finish. I also moved the control knob for the garage door to the other side and then used some white 2x4 tiles to cover the grey area. Other ares that I have changes here include the steps below the blue door and the bottom of the angled wall (it used to be white but now it is solid green). I laid some tiles down on in the ground floor (still need to wall off those stairs) and also renovated the kitchen in the apartment. Also, how could i forget the truck! There are still some changes I wish to make yet (I think I will remove the veterinary clinic and then enlarge the apartment so that it spans both upper floors). Thank you for reading.

    Practicing again, it worked.

    Hi everyone, I love this year's modular building, really glad that the desingners haven't stuck to the 50's style of the last two. I am considering slightly modding the town house and moving the veterinary clinic from corner garage into it. The colours should complement the business well I think. Also this is my first official post on Eurobricks!

    Hi there, Just practicing with some images. This is something that I built for a competition a few years back. Hopefully this works.
