This is my first build in the cafe corner style, featuring a building reassembling the old garnison buildings in the town I currently live in, Erlangen, Germany.
The Building its self is fictional, even though it features some things, which can be found in a very similar way on those buildings, which have been in large converted to modern loft apartments with this type of balcony and dark metalic windows.
The kitchen interior is quite similiar to the other house featured a while back, using a fridge based on these instructions:
Here is another section of modular terrain. This time I chose to do a stream, since water is one of the areas where I think modular terrain standards could benefit from an update.

Modular street scene using my modular street sections and Lego modular buildings. Scene should end up about 8 baseplates long.
Modulars are invented in the car, usually. you sit in a traffic jam, or on a long red light, bored, wasting time. So you stretch your hand to a Kami paper box, and you pick a blue square, and you doodle. This time I remembered Meenakshi posting to the Olist about a new model based on blintzed fish bases. "Well, that is a good idea", I said to myself, and started with a fish base, then adding a bird base on top of it, and I came with this useless unit. useless, until I found a way to connect.
I still want to try and make it go like Fireworks.
maybe on the next traffic jam...

A modular castle MOC that I've built recently as a present for my six years old pal that I use to play with quite a lot (or just my nephew if you will ;) ). It includes a main gate with working drawbridge and portcullis, foldable walls and lots of space to place and pose the minifigures. As much as I could, I was trying to achieve the look and feel of the old LEGO castles that I played with as a kid back in the 80s and 90s.
Design of the battlements modules for the towers and the main gate was heavily inspired by the Kingdoms Modular Castle Creator LEGO Ideas project by Michael Kalkwarf (www.flickr.com/photos/michaelkalkwarf/).

Paper: 7.5 cm Tant
Modules: 6
Model: Daša Severova

Daša kindly shared the diagram of this cuboctahedron with dimples. I started my Origami enthusiasm with Tomoko Fuse models like this, so gave it a try. Tant worked well for the not so easy assembly of the last unit. I could hold the whole model in one hand, holding everything in place while fiddling the last unit in. Afterwards, as often with models with a cubic symmetry, everything is perfectly stable.

Following the standards commonly used for LEGO® modular buildings, the Police Station is a modular building in a 32-stud-wide format with 4 distinct sections.
- Ground Floor featuring payphones, a large desk, waiting area, and holding cell.
- Main Floor featuring the many desks of the precinct's detectives, file storage, a bathroom and a caged armory.
- Top Floor featuring the chief's office, an evidence room, and crime lab.
- Roof featuring communication equipment and the station's air conditioner.
This café was built in the 19th century in the Dutch renaissance revival style. Afterwards an extension with a sunroof was added to provide more seating for the café. On the first floor one can also find a little kitchen and a toilet.
The second floor is a little bachelor pad, with a small bedroom and a living room with kitchen. There is also an attic, which has no interior.
The name of the bar is ' 't Hoekje', which means 'little corner' in Dutch.
Modular Vegetable Garden created as a central MOC for my city. Playing around with NPU building techniques en cool references.
Here is another section of modular terrain. This time I chose to do a stream, since water is one of the areas where I think modular terrain standards could benefit from an update.
Here are the two modules connected together. I intentionally built the second without looking at the first, and remarkably enough they look pretty good when connected. If this were for a real MOC or display, I would add a rock or two to the road and a few more bits of grass to the river to blend the edges, but even as-is I'm pretty happy with how they connect.
MOC: Modular LEGO Store.
Not too much detail in the back, as it's a corner building, but there's a bench where the employees can seek refuge once the crowd inside gets too demanding. And judging from how it's been from time to time in the LEGO stores I've visited, it's needed.
Note the surveillance camera ;)

Celebrating my 9th piece of modern architecture in the archiBRICKture series, the modular LEGO Store is a colorful and clean building where both adults and kids will find all the joy with the LEGO bricks!
The design rips off all colors except on the front door, above where you can find all the different colors of LEGO bricks, the signature of this brand. Next to the door is the giant wooden sculpture of minifigure, and people will have no difficulty to locate the store!
The new building introduces different curves and round corners to soften the block massing, giving the facade a subtle but interesting look. The curves also go around the facade cut-out for the minifigure statue and the glass wall behind it, which allows sunlight to enter the shop.
There are 3 floors and a rooftop. Inside, you can find all the popular box sets including the latest ones, a Pick-A-Brick corner, a children play area and a LEGO factory machine display. On the rooftop, you can have some refreshments, or share ideas if there is any MOC event.
So now you have a new place to haunt, what are you waiting for?

When folding Dášas modular cuboctahedron www.instagram.com/p/BVmH4aqDb9D I realised that the principle could be generalised to other polygons instead of squares. First idea: pentagons to fold a dimpled Icosidodecahdron, but this won't work without glue as there's no locking involved on the units. So I did only fold one unit as a proof of concept
Next: triangles! This worked with the following: a dimpled cuboctagedron again, dimpling the squares this time. As the dimples are tetrahedral this is a polygon with a name, the octahemioctahedron, consisting of 8 triangles and 4 hexagons, where the later intersect each other... a uniform star polyhedron. Ah, I just love geometry! As it is a hemihedron, that is the faces pass through the center, assembly is a bit tight as in the center theres all units meeting in one point. Nonetheless its decently stable and needs no glue.

Made for the Modular Madness contest on Eurobricks.
Inspired by the classic veiw of the Lego Modular buildings. This is all my minimodular street consists of right now, but I really like it!
The Blue Hotel is my entry for the Toys n' bricks Mini modulars contest. toysnbricks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=5233&...
"Founded in 1910, the blue hotel is the leading hotel service in New Studwell city. Each hotel is built with exactly 3 floors, a standard upheld to the highest points of exceleence. Considered 'one of the best locally-based hotel chains' by the New Studwell Times, this hotel is guaranteed to meet and exceed your expectations!"
Number of peices: 215
It is approximately 9 bricks tall and built to the mini modular standard. If you look closely, you can see two flights of stairs inside the central section of the building.
Now with palms, fountians, and the rich and famous! Also, awnings over the rear windows to keep the glorious setting sun out of your eyes!
C&C welcome!
