Modules: 4
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.

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 ;)

A New Update to the Kingdoms Modular Castle Creator Set on Lego Ideas. ideas.lego.com/projects/148797
I have a new and exciting update to the Kingdoms Modular Castle Creator system. Now, to keep brick count and cost down, I am introducing a whole new set of room and roof modules that are half the width of the original modules at 4 x 8. This new set of Narrow or “Half” modules could act as replacements for the original set of 8 x 8 rooms or increase the Creator capability by simply including instructions for the additional modules This would significantly increases the number of unique castles you could build with this set. It is a big win whichever direction Lego choses to go. Of course, these new modules have been designed and tested to fit perfectly with every other module already described in the set. The top of the modules are 4 x 8, which hold a half battlement yielding a play space of 3 x 8 which is pretty standard for most castle sets. There are Lego Technic pin holes just like before for connecting the rooms or hanging other modules off of them. The only difference is that the short, 4 stud side has only one pin hole centered in the middle. This single pin hole, lines up perfectly with either of the two holes on a whole or 8x8 room. Two narrow rooms can be connected to make a single standard 8 x 8 room. Our you could connect them to make an “L” shape. With this set and your imagination, you can build these, and many more unique castles of your own design by simply rearranging the universally configurable modules.
Our LUG's next building challenge is a modular standard building but only 8 studs wide. I randomly picked a blue and dark gray 8x16 so I thought it'd be neat to have a lake house. Of course, now I have to hope it'll eventually be displayed next to some water.
I kept the masonry bricks out of this because while it might look like it needs more detail on the outside, typical lake/beach houses are long slats. I thought it might look better.
Next step is to order all the parts I don't already have. I'm really happy with this one, so I hope it holds up IRL.
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?
A couple of weeks ago, I got my hands on a 1592 Town Square set (Dutch version). I had to restore it a little, and then I got the idea to make a building for my modular street inspired by this set. So this is the result. A corner house, built in the middle ages, the last in its sort, next to the last remaining part of the city walls. Maybe it was the house of the gatekeeper. Today the space behind the gate isn't used as road any more, but houses a little snack corner, where you can eat 'soep en worst' (as in the original 1983 set).
Next to another modular MOC it looks very small, but that is to be expected from a little mediaeval house.
I haven't yet remade the statue and the parade from set 1592.

This was one of the most challenging facades I ever built, but I‘m quite happy how it turned out. Inside you can find also an architect‘s office. This gave me the chance to try some microscale building for the first time.

If there were a hotel on the Moon, what would it look like ? You get to decide with the Modular Moon Hotel !
The model is made of 8 layers, that you can arrange the way you want ! To assemble the Hotel, simly slide each floor on the two Technic axles. You can also use longer Technic axles and create your own floors to make an even bigger hotel !
It also features a miniature rendition of my flying taxi.
You can see the 3D model on Mecabricks : www.mecabricks.com/en/models/eDa5nYm32zg
This model was built for the Exploring the Cosmos Challenge on LEGO Ideas. You can see my entry here : ideas.lego.com/s/ca:8b0f140c18694d47ba0bb2348b48d27a
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!

Took me some time to get the folding sequence right for this one!
I do learn a lot from these studies :)
This star is the biggest from this series:

Just a quick photo before I started to dismantle my buildings so I can move interstate, the Palace Cinema was already semi-destroyed to make a bit of room to put the Detective's Office in. I'm not sure if I'll rebuild the official modulars or start creating my own buildings as I have no idea what my next place will be like so his may be the last time they're all together.
A lot of the vehicles will hopefully be strong enough to make the trip packed in boxes, but they're all saved on LDD just in case. My aircraft models tend to fall apart sitting on display and they're all due for updates so they'll be dismantled and used as filler around Tobruk so it'll be nice and cozy in its box, which'll be travelling with me so it's never out of sight.
There'll probably be a bit of a lull in uploads as I pack everything and start to travel, but I do tend to get sidetracked by building and designing in LDD so renders may pop up every once in a while.
A Demag AC 500-8 lifting a PPVC module weighing up to 30 tonnes for installation on a high rise residential project.
This 17-storey modular tower was built completely using this mobile crane, a rare occurence here.
Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) modules are bulky and heavy, necessitating the use of large mobile cranes, medium to large crawler cranes or large tower cranes to lift them.
This method of construction is now becoming common in Singapore.
The backside of the square cross module can be used for a chess board.
It is an alternating use of black and white paper.
It is made from 24 squares (12 black, 12 white) and 16 half squares (8 black, 8 white) at the edges.
At the square paper, repeat the square cross folding on both ends of the module.
Here the squares have the size of 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm and the half squares 3.75 cm x 7.5 cm.
The final board has here 15 cm x 15 cm.
Here is the front side.

A modular school.
Building instruction is available at: rebrickable.com/users/peedeejay/mocs/
Every city needs a school! The build spans among 3 baseplates and consists of 10 modules. The baseplates can be separated from each other for easy transportation. The complete model weighs about 10kg and has 14417 parts.
The front part contains the main entrance, some trees and a bus stop. The roof areas contain the ventilation units, photovoltaics and the clock.
The ground floor contains the main entrance hall with washrooms for boys and girls. The right wing of the ground floor contains a standard classroom for maths and literature. The left wing of the ground floor contains the music classroom, featuring a piano, drums and some other instruments.
The middle floor contains a cafeteria, where the students can get a quick bite and some refreshments. The left wing of the middle floor contains an IT-classroom and it seems the students are well stocked on mobile devices. The right wing of the middle floor contains the science classroom. At the moment some experiments are ongoing in the chemistry class.
The upper floor contains the library.

These stars are only one fold away from my Corona Star (basic version) but they look quite different. Although I've been developing Corona Series for more than one year, I haven't found this variation myself:)
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:
