That is a really nice project and really well done :) It gives me flashbacks of playing "Theme Hospital" a while back especially with the modular aspect of your MOCs... thus i can't avoid expecting some silly minifigs with crazy and weird illnesses or diseases!

Here is an new equipment for the lab... a spectrophotometer with inner parts (lamps, PMT, etc...)
-
Not really "arcade" but still in the entertainment theme... A roulette table and a pool table
-
I had to give it a good setup.... with an old bathroom vibe :)

Here are some alternative builds. All have similar side panels but the inner builds have been revised: - the one on the right corrects one of the flaws of the original design which wasn't flush to the floor. Now it is and can be used for a more modern bath room. It can also be easily modified to build a corner bathtub or a hot tub. An extra bottom layer has been added on the picture just for some tests. - the one on the middle as literally "claw" feet. To do so, the build uses a reverse stud assembly that slides in and is maintained by the side panels only. - the one on the left has a more "classic" look with a rounded bottom and fancy golden feet. The build uses a upside down core attached to the side panels. The water surface slides in and is sandwiched between the side panels.

It doesn't but that is actually a really good suggestion :)

Quick update with the IRL built of the air hockey table and the race cab.
-
Here is a simple bathtub design based on the build technic used for the air hockey table. Stud.io file is available here I'm quite happy with the result as it turned out expected. It can probably be improved with more texture or foam on the water surface.

I like the retro design quite a bit but i also don't like the minifigs choice. Classic spacemen would have been great with it :) This would go well with my retro space ship :) -
Here is a larger fumehood design

+1 This MOC is such a nice built and is simply enjoyable to look at. I really like the vibe it's bringing. Add to this the building experience. I would definitely buy this set for me and as a gift.

That would be the tap piece (4559a ou 4559b) And on top of the inner cone pieces, a 1x1 round plate topped by a 1x1 round tile. I don't think there is any connection between the tube and the inner supports.

Here is a chemistry fumehood to complete the Material research lab. The front window can slide up & down for the safety of the minifigs.

Thanks for the feedback. I've made a slightly revised digital version of it. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-214640/Ptchnk/farm-tractor/#details The transition between the front and the cabin in a bit different as well as the back (lights and accessories attachments) and the cabin is 1 plate lower. I'll update the IRL build if we get the missing part.

Wanted to try to build a small farm tractor with available stock parts to go along the harvester (60223) for my kid. Also wanted to have somehow a working front suspension so that the 4 wheels are always on the ground. I used the wheel base 47720 and attached it upside/down on part 2817. Works quite well as front tractor wheel attachment. Kid's happy :) Here is the results:

Yep the white tank works well for those two... Also like these to include the bright orange torso, this gives a good balance Or these that include all of the new torsos and considering available parts Or these as special units of Space Police ;) -

The motorcyle helmet, legs and arms are available in Dark Azure and Bright Green already. Those will just miss the 3838 air tanks but black will work fine with the torso desgin . This already better than for the previous redish orange torso for wich only the arms and hips are available so far. I'm considering getting those with black hands and blank tank and may keep the black right arm. -

The is a new set (60446) with 3 new update Futuron inspired torso (bright green, bright light orange and dark azute) -
The picture was mainly to share the design of the pillars and the height of the last one (13 bricks). Of course, the angle for the onset and end of the slope pour have to be lowered to achieve smoother transitions with the flat tracks. The design of the pillar allows a minimum height shift fo 2.5 plates between 2 pillars. Basically a 3 segments section with a total elevation of 5 plates (=2.5 plate per 1.5 tracks) to keep the same spacing between pillar should work. This should correpond to a 1.5+ elevation per track segment which is still quite reasonnable. My son already started is own crash tests especially down hill. We ended up banking the curve down hill to manage the gain in inerty.

Working on elevated train track with my 7yo for more intricate tracks designs. Here is a simple design using plates, brackets and ball-join plates. The highest pillar is about 13 bricks high. The actual setup with a pillar every 1.5 track segment and a reduction of 2 studs (or 5 plates) lead to a slope of about 4.75 degree. I'll see if it works with our trains as i quite like the 24 studs gap between each pillar. Otherwise, a pillar every track segment with a reduction of 1 stud (or 2.5 plates) would lead to a slope of about 3.5 degree.

I've made a smaller version of the UFO Catcher so that it is easier to fit it in a building. First the brick built version: And the digital version for testing the color scheme: I've also reworked the design of the racing cab from the first post as i didn't like that much the classic seat for this purpose. The build has also been modified to be sturdier as there was some issues with the upper part. And also here is the brick built version of the Taiko No Tatsujin cabinet

Here are a few additions to the Museum paintings exhibition...

Here are some small MOCs to explore painting exhibition at the minifig scale. As it was easier to start with some geometric patterns, here are a couple "Modern Art" painting for your museum or luxious mansion. Feel free to contribute and add desgin to the topic :)

Xmas is coming soon, so here i share the IRL build of the Winter village bakery conversion we did last year to fit the Main Street set we already had. Next to add to the Main Street set would be the Candy Store:
