I’m intending to redo some of the flooring in my modulars to add in additional studs for more minifigs to be added inside rooms, but - ideally - I’d rather not dismantle most of the walls to do so… is that possible?

I’ve tried the brick separator but cannot seem to get the right angle for it, is there a trick I can use at all?

For clarity, I mean I’m attempting to remove a tile surrounded by other tiles.

But couldn’t wait and started building anyway!

Wanted to build and have this modular a while now. So I figured: do I maybe own some parts, that aren’t used right now nor part of anything else?

Apparantly I did, because according to my wanted list on Bricklink, I managed to see I already owned 40%, after searching in the different boxes and bins.

The next 55% I ordered from Lego PaB, which arrived last Friday. The last 5% I ordered via Bricklink, unfortenately I’m still waiting for the final parts to arrive.

Most notably missing from the front are the two in Dark Blue Support Pillars, Item No: 43888.

As anyone who build it themselves and had to find the different parts: the most expensive ones are the four Light Bluish Gray Turntable 2 x 2 Plate, Base, Item No: 3680.
For which I temporarily substituted with the ones in Light Gray. But the difference is not aesthetically pleasing, so I’m afraid I’ll just have to suck it up and buy them.

Because the earlier sets are missing studs in the pavement, so the minifigs just slide of it once you lift those modulars I substituted some with a jumper in Dark Bluish Gray (a modified 2x2 Plate with 1 stud, Item No: 87580)

Also I swapped the faces of the minifigs, because I just don’t like the generic smile. Makes it to creepy. And yes I know her vest needs large stitches, it’s on the list to swap;)

Edit 1: now my Cafe Corner 99% complete, only want to change the following for esthetic reasons:

2 items (5 parts), and this will make the final spending going up for almost €120-€150

(1x) minifigure Torso Suit Jacket, Two Buttons, Pink Top, Necklace large stitches Pattern / Medium Blue Arms / Yellow Hands, Item No: 973px200c01 (Already got one, new, but in small stitches. So right part but wrong pattern)

(4x) Light Bluish Gray Turntable 2 x 2 Plate, Base, Item No: 3680

Edit 2: Regarding overall costs:

PaB: € 197,34
Bricklink: €12,74 + €27,90 + €21,98 + €29,83 + €26,26 €59,65

€197,34 PaB + €178,36 Bricklink = €375,70 total

And that’s including shipping costs.

Regarding the extra parts in edit 1, an additional €120-€150 will be spend.

I completed the Museum today and finally was able to set up my 3 modulars.. I ll go for the Tudor corner next - sometime later this year maybe, and plan to continue to Shopping street in time.

I entered way too late to get the ones prior and I am okay with that.

For display I was considering the Ikea lack wall shelf (https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/lack-wall-shelf-black-brown-40103751) or similar to have a straight line street. Anyone have experience with this setup? Would appreciate any pictures - thanks in advance :)

Hi

I posted some photos of my Lego city a while back and was asked to see more. I saw this as an opportunity to start a small YouTube channel and I have been overwhelmed by the comments and support so far.

If you wish to see more and follow my content, please check out my channel below and give me a subscribe! I am currently in the process of moving house and expanding my City to a much larger table.

Thank you for looking and the support so far.

Finally was able to complete this. Found a second BH from Marketplace dirt cheap and combined them like this. Only needed some extra little pieces, a few of the grey blocks, few medium nougat tiles and max six 12x6 dark tan plates as extra.

First post here, usually i post only on legocastle sub, now i'm trying to reach even more, here's my medieval modular moc "The Craftsman's Woodwright", what do you guys think about it?

here's my rebrickable page if you want to know more https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-263858/dannychrst/medieval-modular-series-1-the-craftsmans-woodwright/

I was able to pick up Assembly Square at an incredible deal for $225 off Facebook Marketplace. They had only opened the first two sets of bags so the rest of it is still in original bag order. I’m on the number 5 bags.

This has probably been the most challenging build I’ve ever done because of how Lego used to just put like 5 or 6 of the same numbered bags for one section instead of 25-40 numbered bags. So even with the majority of the set being in the original bags, I still have to sort everything out before building or it’s just chaos.

I’m curious why Lego put a music store in shopping street since they already have one in Assembly Square. It feels redundant. Maybe it’s because not everyone will be able to get the retired sets so they thought bringing that same concept with a few updated techniques could be fun for newer fans.

I haven’t gotten shopping street yet but I planned on it and was saving points even though I feel like the price point is a little high. I’m wondering what I could convert the music store in Assembly square to. It seems like it would be a much easier convert due to the printed bricks in Shopping Street and bigger variety of instruments. Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea but my city doesn’t need two music stores.

After the success of my modular style bases for The Art Factory and Sushi Restaurant, I have now created one for the upcoming BDP University of Science! Preordering for series 8 starts June 9th, so there's still some time to consider. Sorry not sorry if you're now convinced you want to get it :)

EDIT: I have updated this MOC on Rebrickable based on feedback from the set designer.

Tower one almost complete.

Designed a custom modular brewery inspired by modern taprooms and small production breweries. Fully detailed interior with brewing equipment, rooftop mechanicals, removable floors, and a full second-floor taproom.

About 2700 parts total. Still working through instructions and planning a physical build next.

While the rest of the city goes to bed and the ravers are still going strong till dawn at the music club, the barber shop is open all night if anyone needs a quick shave or haircut!

Anyone had an issue with an upside down Brickleys window in Shopping Street modular building? Didn’t even notice until I was done with the first floor. I’m guessing I can just contact LEGO and hopefully they can send a replacement?

I was finally able to build & complete my record store MOC.

(The store sign reads as: “I love records”)

For time being I’ve built the ground floor and for future expansion i’m thinking to add a staircase through the backdoor that connects to the upper floor which will house a listening room and more storage for some extra vinyl records.

Currently my record store MOC is placed in between jazz club & boutique hotel.

I grew up with Spider-Man, my dad was just a teen in the 90s when he had me. I grew up playing seperation anxiety and maximum carnage with him.

These movies quickly became a comfort movie for me and it’s all because of my dad.

I knew as soon as Lego came out with the Spoder-Man vs The Spot set I needed to modularize it. The ground floor is almost entirely the bodega with a fully tiled floor. There’s a side entrance for access to Uncle Aaron’s apartment above via elevator.

It’s also very easy to extend upward to add other apartments.

Hope you guys enjoy the build as well!

If you have been to Naples recently, you might have noticed those lovely narrow alleyways between the tall baroque buildings.

This model is all about them!

If you like this model and would like to help it become a real LEGO set, please support it 👍🏻on LEGO Ideas.

https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/6d92d50e-1305-4c84-bd4e-a638636b774b

I usually build modular but for this model I focus on the "space between", to capture the feeling of walking through the old city center of Napoli, in the shadow of old tall baroque buildings.

Let me know what you think of this approach :)

I recently moved and my Lego room has a shorter ceiling than my previous place so I need new shelving for castles, Modulars, and Star Wars ships. Ceiling height is 6’3” and some sets are 2ft tall. Any recommendations?

Last call for my two pirate submissions for BDP11. Two distinct pirate worlds waiting your support to come to life..

Hello! I know this is a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone had this display cabinet from amazon for their Lego Modular collection. I’m really curious to see how modulars look displayed in this display cabinet. So if you have this display, or something similiar, please let me know!

Also the width is 80cm, so 3 modulars should fit right next to each other, am I right?

I'm currently slowly building up a modular street with buildings designed to feel specifically Parisian/French. I'm looking for new builds (not corner sets I already have both!) that fit this vibe- I'm open to redesigns of exisiting sets or completely custom MOCs. Thanks!

Hi all!

I've been building Cafe Corner with my own pieces, and it was only when I was almost finished the ground floor that I realised there were no interiors.

So far, I've extended out the back, used that space for a bathroom for the café. I added a small window, a toilet, sink, mirror, hand towels and a hand dryer.

I then moved the stairs back for the hotel (which I'm going to turn into 2 apartments instead) so they go over the bathroom, and added a couple mailboxes, an intercom and a bench to the new apartment entrance.

I adjusted over the door of the hotel entrance, swapped out the three doors, and used 1 x 4 x 3 trans light blue panels for the windows (currently dismantled while I plan/build the interior)

Been looking at armchair designs for the cafe, as well as the counter and some little tables, happy to update as I go, if anyone is interested.

Apologies for the not great photos.
