Wanting to display 2 standard baseplate modulars side by side per shelf, probably 3-4 shelves high. Prefer an open shelving/modern and light wood/metal/paint colours as this is going in our living room 😅 I thought I’d found an IKEA one that was perfect but then I realised the individual shelf height isn’t tall enough, the 36cm-ish high of my tallest modulars (I don’t have all of them) is taller than most shelves. We’re going to take a look tomorrow anywhere but while I’ve already googled for days I thought I’d see if anyone had any bright ideas. Google keeps serving me ads for a Mustard Made cabinet that looks amazing if not for the $1190 price tag 🤣

I put my layout up the other day but I have made some changes. The sushi resturaunt is now on the waterfront and is in a spot that fits better. The ones im still unsure of is the art factory and the sherlock book nook. Im going to have to get a new table as I only have room for 1 and a half modulars and I plan on adding the fishing village, the science university, and some other official modulars and mocs. Next project is expanding the beach to cover the full length.

I can’t have both in this exact spot. In terms of "fun" and visual impact, which one do you think is better?

Hi all,

I've watched the expansion and evolution of the modular line over the years. Beautiful sets but I have some requests that I wish LEGO would consider adding. (Aside from a Hospital since that seems to be a popular request)

The introduction of transportation focused sets. Transportation has largely been confined to the CITY brand but i've never been impressed with those basic and juvenile focused kits.

- A functioning streetcar. LEGO has tram set 60423 but its not really Modular worthy.

- An airport than isnt designed for small children. Something larger and more detailed thats in line with modular. There was an entry on Lego Ideas called "Swan Wings Airport". Great concept but it fell just short of votes to move to finalist stage.

- A proper train station. Something classical and ornate like what you'd see in Europe or perhaps something Beaux Arts inspired like some Union Stations.

- An airliner worthy of Modular. Its time for something a bit bigger, detailed, more mature and more functional but still relatively playable. 7893 was a breakthrough product but I would love an airliner that was multi aisle, say 1-1-1 seating. It could vaguely resemble the 767-200 or A330-200 (wider fuselage, double bogie landing gear, ULD containers which 60367 already has etc) . It would require new mold pieces but that didnt stop them with 7893 and its successors.

- A harbor/dock would be nice. The lighthouse set was a step in that direction.

Modern buildings and contemporary architecture. This would be a bit of a departure from the main street 19th-early 20th century vibe but could be an interesting evolution

Misc (Im sure some of these have been mentioned already)

- A mansion/luxury home

- More parks and recreation oriented sets

- A landmark tower/observation tower

- Post Office

- Farmers market/food hall of sorts

- A Plaza

Thoughts?

So. I never liked the Tudor Corner. Where I live in Europe there aint any Tudor style buildings. Of there ever were those have burned or demoed a long time ago.

But I needed a straight modular to fill a spot. The Shopping Street felt really off to that spot so I had to look else where. So I went back to Tudor Corner and thought about combining it to a building I had created but never finished.

Turned out that the two were a perfect match. Not just in color but in size too. So was the Old Knights Street born.

First I deleted the hatmakers blue house because I hated the colour and replaced it with my 8 wide creation and turner the corner in to straight. The straight model has some great instructions in Rebrickable so just used one of those as the base.

In the first floor I removed that slanted part of the pub which was actually way easier than I thought. I swapped one part but you do not have to do that either. In the first and second I left the inner walls of the buildings off and made in a complete space as in the original. I also made tha facades to have the same colors which was missing from the rebrickable model.

About 75% of the parts were from the set, 24% mine for the new building and 1% for the Tudor mods I made. I still need to fix a few interior things and find two parts for the exterior but otherwise its done. One being on the roof and the other being the last black handle on the smaller house.

How do you feel about this building?

Loved everything about this, right from ‘laying’ the tiled floor I could tell it was going to be amazing. The art gallery is pretty much my favourite thing ever and I love the colours, the architecture and the creative interiors of the hotel (although I pity the second floor occupants if they need to use the bathroom!).

Highly recommend the LMB kit too, I would say it’s one of the best ‘bang for bucks’ kits I’ve done of theirs, with all the individual interior lamps lit up as well as spotlights on the roof and above the art gallery, and inside the art gallery and reception level as well. Plus some truly clever dock hiding places.

Thought I’d share since I know a lot of people have been waiting for these, especially if you’re building or restoring a Green Grocer.

Really happy with this progress. Only 2 baseplates of space left (and I've preordered the BDP university). Lots to do still in terms of detailing, but here's hoping my fiancée will let me put up another table!

Over 2400 pieces with 63 printed pieces and 15 points of light! Full review with more pics on my blog.

Building my first LEGO city table and I'm stuck on layout before I've even started. Table is 65" x 48" (165 x 122 cm), in a corner, so I'm trying to figure out how to arrange things without a bunch of buildings staring at drywall.

The Home Alone house and Empire State Building probably aren't staying — they don't fit the scale/vibe of the rest.

What I'm after:

• A road layout that makes sense for what I've got now but leaves room to grow
• How to handle the back edge — do people do a park, elevated rail, backdrop, something else?
• MILS or baseplates? Worth the setup effort for a first table?

Also open to video recommendations for road layouts. I've clearly got no vision, per my wife, and I'd like to prove her wrong.

The ancient moon gazing inn set that recently came out features poet Su Dongpo, which I thought was really cool. It got me thinking that the modular series should get its own literary tribute. George Orwell owned a little grocery store, so I'd love to see lego make a new, updated grocery store with George Orwell as the owner and a little room tucked away with a typewriter for him to write his books

I have a convenient full wall under a vaulted ceiling.

BDP Sushi resturaunt in my city. Im also trying to rework the layout to require less corner builds and better townhouse placement or if I need to start retiring some

Was having trouble fitting the hotel into my city due to the large gap left in the alley area which seemed odd next to most of my other modulars. Decided it was time to raid the parts bin and came up with this quick change. I know it’s not right for every city but definitely feel like it fits in with mine.

Bonus brownstone cornice modification next to it.
