biniou Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Here is a nice medieval themed modular build. Yep, I'm back on the modular horse again. Then again, when did I ever get off? Release this set in my country or in germany, and it will be a success.This is the same kind of house we have in north-east (region Alsace).

TheOrcKing Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 I managed to find a couple of Castle builds constructed as modular houses that will fit right in with the system for your city.

TheOrcKing Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 A rather colorfully beautiful street scene filled with many Friends style modular buildings built by the lovely talented, Kristel.

TheOrcKing Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Here by L@GO is basically a modularized minifigure scale version of the unique set given away at each store opening. Even though the base design was a straight section and this is a corner unit, I think he did a great job regardless and it looks better like this in a way as you can see more of the store from the outside. The mini-builds reminiscent of the ones found in those advent calendars work great here and the Pick-a-Brick wall is spot-on same as everything else. http://www.flickr.com/photos/legolago/sets/72157645103720918/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legodelorean Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 These designs are killer. The Friends city was really colorful and well built. I'm a sucker for cityscapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 This next feature may not be the most impressive modular design. However, it is one of the few I have seen where someone tackled the concept for trying to design a modular house in a 8x32 space. You heard right, it is only eight studs wide! Just in case before someone asks, there really was a baseplate officially released from Lego which measures 8x32 in green. Modular Apartment by L@GO http://www.flickr.com/photos/legolago/sets/72157626531752545/ Now if the above wasn't up your alley then feast your eyes on this row of mainly 8-stud wide buildings with the exception of a single 6 wide abode. Very fancy I should say but none feature an interior whatsoever. The instructions are available for purchase on the builder's website.

TheOrcKing Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Adding to the above, it would seem that 8-wide buildings are actually a thing. Who knew? Turns out in real life there are structures called a spite house (aka 'skinny house' in a couple cases). The dimensions of those vary unlike the modular house standards in Lego, of course, but the general idea is the same about one building of an odd shape looking out of place from everything else around it as if to 'spite' them. Anyway, I found a bunch more 8-wide modular builds. Most are real while a couple done digital but all interesting one way another. Spite House by Carbohydrates 8-wide modular house by slovakiasteph Eight-wide modular building by Frederik Hedenskog A MOC of 19W 46th St New York, NY by RTN LNA Eight wide modular house by Dean Moody I'm starting to see the allure of these tiny cots. I believe I have at least two 8x32 baseplates in green somewhere. All they need is a good thorough cleaning and a design worthy to be built upon them. Now these last two are not single 8-wide structures but they are oddly shaped with one building being 20 stud wide and the other 12 wide. brown and grey modular buildings by alex54 Canal Street Houses by Brick City Depot http://www.flickr.com/photos/58481341@N06/sets/72157629412437839/ Well I believe that is it for 'spite houses' and odd shaped modulars in general. I honestly can't think or find anything else similar at this point. Until next time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toycrazedchris Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I just finished building the Corner Cafe with my daughter and saw this model on the back of the box and then again at the end of the instructions. Definitely piqued my interest and after a quick search I was led right back here. : ) Thanks for posting the links, should be helpful if I give it a shot!

Neosphinx Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Very nicely done. Perhaps the windows on the first floor are a bit too much, but in general very nice build imo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 a lot of interesting techniques, but me no like. polls on first 2 floors don't work and weird angles on the third. I may not like but i'm sure the builder loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
