It's been awhile since I've completed the Modular Sweets Surprise bakery... Decided to take on Pepe's Pizza shop build. Still a work in progress...

I always wanted to try making a modular using 1x2 plates in mixed colours, but have never had enough plates in the right colours to do a full size modular building. Then I saw the LEGO Ideas contest to celebrate 90 years of TLG and the idea formed to try and do a midi-scale version (somewhere between minifigure and micro scale). The base for this build is 8x16 studs, so it is one-quarter of the baseplate used for a standard 16-stud wide modular building.
It is modular as the floors come apart. However, the way I did the windows for this version means that it's not so pretty on the inside.
I would love to do a row of townhouses like this in different colours. Once I can accumulate a few more plates!
PS: Sarah Beyer (@betweenbrickwalls) has mastered the use of mixed plates in her gorgeous buildings, but I want to also do a shout out to Jan M. (@wooootles) whose “Avenue Residences” is one of the first buildings that I recall that used this technique (and which is still one of my all time favourite builds).

Folded in between game drives in Kruger Park:)

Folded from a sheet of crumpled (VOG) paper glued to a sheet of Japanese origami foil.

A small storage/garage for the city. The ground floor of the green building was inspired by another one that I found around, but I can't find the photo or the author to sign the "credits".
Something simple to "cut" with the usual modular buildings design.
Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
4 different sizes, all stars are folded with 5 cm squares
Modular Origami Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
Front and reverse sides.
Similar to these ones:
Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 4 units, no glue
The unit on the right is 60° and the unit on the left turned out to be 60-something upon closer inspection:) Oh well.
60° Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (3:4), double bronze, 12 units, no glue
Other rectangles are also possible with this folding sequence.
60° Origami Modular (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (1:2), 4 units, no glue
Some other variations of this unit.
I've refined the modular building quite a lot. The corner pieces are solid to provide bracing but all others components are totally modular.
Since this is the first MOC I've done that I have documentation for the various changes I've made, I figured a little animation of how far it's come would be neat. See if you can find all the visible changes!

Modular origami wall art by Christine Kirk. She tells about her process in this blog post: www.allthingspaper.net/2021/04/modular-origami-wreath.html
Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
The bigger stars are folded from double bronze rectangles (2:sqrt3) and the smaller one from bronze (1:sqrt3). Similar designs to the previous ones, with more interesting reverse sides.
6 units for each, no glue

Here are some other folds made with paper from the same pack:

I have to say, it's a great idea to keep the number of colors per pack limited to just 5 or 6. This way you have a nice palette with colors that work together and you have enough sheets of each color per pack. Ideal for modular origami!
I wish I could do this in real bricks (with some variety added, of course). It would mean having to order a couple thousand 1x1 plates and headlight bricks, though.
Well, town is a strong word for it. Small street would be abetter description. So, this is my current project, a modular road. Ignore the random citizens in the actual road bit, they belong to the other side which isn't quite finished yet, due to a severe lack of parts.
So, we've currently got (on this side at least) a modded pet shop, the florist, which is still a work in progress, and the detectives office.
When I first started this, the pavement (or 'sidewalk' for the Americans), spanned the entirety of the studded part of the baseplates. However, in a moment of inspiration, I decided to fill the sides of the road with raised flower beds (flowers yet to be added). Quite a nice solution really.
So, that's it for now. At some point I'll upload a picture of the horror that is, the other side.
60° Origami Modular (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 12, 10, 4 units, no glue
All three units are of slightly different sizes.

3x3 cm. Double tissue paper.
One of the latest.
I really really have bad times when it comes to finding high quality paper here in Mexico, and bring paper in from overseas is painfully expensive.
It may not have the vivid colors as Maria original ones, but I really hope to refold these stars with a better quality paper.
For most of the stars I keep the same color Maria is using, it seems she is unbeatable at the mixtures she uses for every star.
I don't have proper lighting equipment and I'm finding quite difficult to photograph tissue paper because some times is a bit reflective and you get reflections all over the model.
This photos will be a little weird when it comes to lighting and colors.
Another older moc that I still needed to make pictures of.
The main reason for the delay is that I wanted to make an interior which I only recently finished. Perhaps this will motivate me to also make interiors for my other modular buildings.
Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
Out of these three stars one features just a single pattern (star), another shows two (star+star) and the third combines 3 patterns (star+pinwheel+wreath).
Other stars with a single pattern (pinwheel, wreath):

Other stars with two elements combined (star+wreath, star+pinwheel, pinwheel+wreath):
www.flickr.com/photos/goorigami/26481623896/in/photostream/
There are some other combinations and with big enough squares one can go even deeper, adding more elements on top.
I used 7.5 cm kami paper by Peter Keller. Same pack as here:
60° Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 12, 5, 4 units, no glue
The units in the top picture are of different sizes (the farthest is the biggest). I have 5 such units actually, but folding all of those does not make much sense:)
