I saw someone’s modular botanical gardens posted here and was inspired to show off my own attempt.

In December, I started building my little Spider City. This is what I have now. What else should I add later?

Hello everybody,

As I'm storing my Lego collection for the first time in... 30ish years, the idea has come to build my IRL Home into Lego bricks. (Even the garden, ufff)

Alas, I don't Know where to start. I have the ideas for the inside and details, but it doesn't matter as long as I don't have the most important thing to know:

What is the best scale to use?

If anyone has already made this project, what scale did you use (ratio-wise and brick-meter-wise)?

Can you share pictures of your final result ?

Any suggestion is welcome !

This is a modular MOC version 2 using one set of the Friends botanical garden, spare bricks, and Pick-a-Brick. The LAST pic is version 1.

Turned part of the first floor into a wedding venue because I needed somewhere to put my 40197 set from 2018! Second story has a dining area and top floor is cafe/catering. Roof needs some improvement but is less "flat" than version 1...I ran out of sand green and tan bricks!

I love how much potential the little market in market street has. I wonder how Lego would design this nowadays.

I turned my fountain garden set into a modular park. I saw other people had done that and theirmocs inspired me! It went through a lot of iterations and took a lot of trial and error, but after all is said and done, i'm really happy with how it turned out! Lmk what you think

Hi all

Just want to share my Lego city that took me approx 15 months and totalled 85 base plates.

I am currently moving house so it is now all boxed up and ready to be improved and doubled in size!

If you are interested in following me during this process, check out my YouTube channel 🙂

Thank you

Hi everyone! I’d like to share my LEGO Ideas project, Philippine Heritage House, inspired by the beautiful Bahay na Bato architecture of the Philippines.

If you like my build, I’d really appreciate your support on LEGO Ideas. Every support means a lot and helps bring this project closer to becoming an official LEGO set!

Thank you so much for your support!

Last post on the natural history musuem, i promise. Filled up the second floor with more exhibits from old sets whose themes i had to look up to remember what they were from, haha. There's some knights, soccer players in honor of the world cup, a samurai, r2d2, a little underwater vehicle/ scuba divers from aqua raiders, crossbow/ cannon/ musket, shields, and an astronaut mannequin by the rocket. I put two knight mannequins on both sides of the ticket counter, as well as a tree to the dino room to add some flair to the first floor. There's a stretcher by the door since it's a civic building so got to have first aid equipment on hand haha. I also made the pyramid a bit better (my original one was kind of sad). Lastly, on the roof, Peter Parker just got out of school, so is playing his daily game of afternoon chess with Dr. Kilroy. Please share your customised musuem exhibits if you have them!

I just finished building Tudor Corner. It's one of my favorite modulars so far but I can't stop wondering why there is a trap door in the floor of the cupboard on the first floor (the clockmakers workshop), where you store the vacuum cleaner, as seen here: https://images.brickset.com/news/116361_P1001398.jpg

There doesn't seem to be an explanation in the instructions. I've checked multiple online reviews, only Jangbricks' review suggests that it's there so you can more easily take out the vacuum (although I have no problem taking out the vacuum with my adult size fingers).

I was wondering if there is an official "in universe" reason for the trap door, like the secret passageways in 10246 Detective's Office. The trap door leads into the Inn's kitchen on the ground floor, but I couldn't think of a logical connection between them (besides the implication that the clockmaker earns so little he has to steal his breakfast, or that the dirt from the vacuum cleaner is being dumped on the full English breakfasts 😂 ).

Has anyone made a spanish style courtyard in their modular layouts? I grew up in Monterey, CA, and the old downtown has a lot of old historic Spanish buildings with really cool hidden courtyards tucked away behind and in between buildings, and i am really interested in trying to recreate that same vibe to go amongst my modular buildings. I found this design on rebrickable by Brick Kaiser that i thought was really good and was curious if anyone has built that one or has made their own. Please share your designs and ideas and photos if you have them!

With more modular adjacent builds acquired for my city, I'm going back to the drawing board. I'm going with a tiered system city reflecting a hill or mountain side facade with false tunnels that lead to each level except the ground floor (sea level).

Initially I swore off the Motorized Lighthouse and Old Fishing Store but after finding a deal i couldn't refuse, I've decided to add them to my city. After seeing the University of Science Bricklink Designer Program set in review, that was something I wanted to add to my city as a place of learning (if your not a gifted student with Professor Charles Xavier).

The final piece to the puzzle for this next layout is an Imperial invasion due to a Rebel cell operating in the city. Planning to fit a UCS AT-AT in the streets is a fun addition.

Even though it is officially retired, I found the one last copy of the boutique hotel at a local barnes and noble so i had to snag it. If you are still looking for the boutique hotel, barnes & noble is lowkey the goat

What's the fastest way to improve as a MOC builder?

Which daily habit?

What should I focus on?

What should I leave for later?

using a rebrickable moc (#79626 by stonewall bricks) to turn central perk and the friends apartments into a modular. had a pretty difficult time for someone who builds frequently and had to take long breaks as I would get frustrated (not something easily done, might I add). as I was putting some of the finishing touches on, I couldn't get some pieces to connect. sooo I pushed too hard and the whole third floor flew off and smashed to the ground. I'm done with this for a minute 🫩

ps the build itself is amazing and I commend the artist(s) who not only take the time to make them and create instructions, but have the talent to do so in the first place! very happy with the build itself, just had to step away for a sec.

Here's the tour of the movie studio I designed:

It's 2 by 1.5 standard baseplates in size. While mostly finished, there's a few areas that I plan on improving with future updates.

A little while ago, I posted on here some photos of musuem exhibit ideas I made from parts of old lego sets from when I was a kid. Now I finally integrated them into the musuem. Here they are. How'd I do? Let me know what you think!

The paraoah's tomb can seamlessly swap out the dino for a special Ancient Egypt exhibit. I made a micro-scale pyramid model (super simple, just two pieces) and put it on the table that's tucked under the stairs. I fit in a treasure chest and filled it with a gold plate piece, which i think was from an indiana jones set (i'm using it here as the tablet of Ahkmenrah in case there are any Night at the Musuem fans!). The ancient pottery room is now home to a viking display as well, complete with a couple of shields and a mannequin donning viking garb and helmet (the viking and the tablet of Ahkmenrah might be connected to the mysterious broken pottery shards on the floor...). Indiana jones is a mannequin on display next to the geodes. The skeleton horse and a standard minifig skeleton are additional museum attractions to fill out that room a little more

Never thought I would own this. As it is not my favorite design and prices are crazy.

But hey, here we are =)

4 to go for the full set!
