My understanding is that you can submit two different 16x32 buildings or one 32x32 building.

Math.

I use those Plano containers, both the single compartment and the ones that you adjust the separators. My organization system developed as a result of how I look for pieces when building and it goes as follows. Colors: White Black Light and Dark Bley Bright Basic Colors (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Orange, etc.) AFOL Colors (Tan, Brown, Dark Red, Medium Blue, Dark Green, etc.) Boxes: Round 1x1 Plates & Tiles (separated by kinds and colors) Square 1x1 Plates & Tiles (separated by kinds and colors) 2x2 Plates & Tiles (separated by kinds and colors) 1x? Plates (separated by colors) 1x? Tiles (separated by colors) 2x? Plates (separated by colors) Bricks (separated by colors) Larger Plates (separated by colors) Wing Plates (separated by colors) Brackets & Bricks with Multiple Studs (separated by kinds and colors) Arches Curved Slopes (separated by kinds and colors) Flat Slopes (separated by colors) Click Hinges Free Hinges Technic (separated by kind) All the other pieces are separated in a similar manner. I'm more general about the more specialized pieces and just group by type of item. I'll get more specific if I have a lot of a certain type of piece. For a general example I'll use dark red which will be split into the following containers. 1x1 square plates and tiles 1x1 round plates 1x2 plates and tiles 2x2 plates and tiles all bricks 1x? plates 1x? tiles 2x? plates wings brackets curved slopes flat "roof" slopes etc. This gives me enough organization to get to what I need quickly, and since they are in separate boxes I can surround myself with all the boxes I need and when I'm done I can click them closed and toss them to the side. This system is general enough to make post-building clean up quick. I just push them into piles based on type (1x1, 1x2, 2x2, etc.) and then I bring the specific boxes over and put them away. Currently I'm working on my Modular Madness entry and I periodically push everything back into those piles on the floor. Because those piles are organized similarly to my boxes I can easily grab pieces from them while I build, without having to go to my boxes. This system also makes it easy to break sets down for parts.

I had one of those arms when I was a kid.

Welcome aboard and great house. If you make a second building you can enter the Modular Madness contest. I particularly like subtle details like the alternating red/dark red tiles (I'm assuming) that top each floor. My current project has something like that. Reverse engineering his design will make you a better builder than copying his instructions.

Most excellent chop (circular) saw, and a great standardized shelving system

While I don't have a problem with his using white, I think it needs to be used more throughout the facade. Currently, from what I can see its used on that white arch and one or two windows. Then there are some brown windows on the back. I think it needs to be used more as an accent color; then again, dark-bley might work better. Regardless, I really like it and I believe this is the first cathedral built to fit wit other modular buildings.

This is a good design for a general street concessions stand. Attach an umbrella and it could easily be someone selling frozen treats or delivering pizza. It would also be a good basis for a pedicab.

I never understand this sentiment. Of course really nice MOCs are going to be better than most official set. The builder doesn't have to worry about strength, price, legal connections-only, parts count, etc. I have no problem believing that without constraints, Lego's designers could build modular buildings on par with the best we see here.

FYI your video starts with a typo. LEGOTIWERCITY I like your video, but it could use more dramatic camera angles (camera low, angled up for example). Cheers

This is great. Nice job with all he detailing.

At least a year I'd say

That's very nice.

I meant overhang, not on the sides but the front.

I do appreciate details like the brick-built pilot's chair.

How much overhang outside the 8x8 can the Minis have?

Saturday Night Live: British Movie

Excellent shot across the bow. Looks like we have to step up our game.

I would love a UCS Minas Tirith in the 4000 piece range; something akin to the Death Star playset.

At the base of the roof. Would changing the 1x6 black tile to 1x7 (1+3 + 1x4) cover the gap in the roof?

Sounds like a contest is in order.

I googled the ship and the real one has much more detailing. Aside formt he strength of the legs, your's don't match the ship. Kepp at it though, a properly done version could look really cool. And you've taken care of the tedious part.

Browsing Brickset should help as well.

Looks great so far.

If you don't need the boxes you can save decent money just shipping the loose bags and instructions.
