A simple star from waterbomb bases, folded from circles.
Or one can say it's made from preliminary bases - on a circle they are the same thing.

After 3 years Con'ing - and watching the likes of Pepa Quinn and Mark Larson pack down their layouts, I set off to try to add some modularity and build more collapsible. So when I was building the Mechhanest I did put some thought to how to compact this down as much as possible.
I also thought about modularizing the system a bit to be able to make this hangar expandable - Though I'll probably make the next section be a single mech bay, instead of two scrawny ones :D
MOC: Modular LEGO Store. Based on the LEGO Brand Retail Store set that has been used as a giveaway at store openings over the past couple of years, but blown up to minifig scale.
And yes, I know that the original set isn't a corner building, but I just hadn't built one yet and needed one for a layout I was working on :)
This Lego clock tower modular is inspired by Prague Astronomical Clock in Prague, Czech Republic. Besides the clock tower there are also three small houses. Total width of all buildings is 48 studs and about 4100 bricks were used. Computer rendering but only existing bricks were used.

It looks the same way on the other side.

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.
For a long time I wanted to build/design a railway station, but it had to be designed upon the following conditions:
- only cheap parts to be used while still having a good looking design
- fit in with the modular buildings
- the station being modular as well
To achieve the first point I tried to use mostly parts that are often available in Lego stores. Therefore most of the station building can be built with only 1x2 and 1x1 tan bricks (not considering bricks for snot). Also the 1x4x3 white windows are often offered on the PaB wall, so I decided to build a glass canopy for the facade and the platforms as well. The masonry bricks used for the platforms can be changed with normal bricks, therefore only very few pieces might be costly (or not).
The second goal wasn't hard to fulfill: the building is 32 bricks long and 16 bricks wide. The second floor can be added several times to make it higher. Therefore you can put it next to Lego's modular buildings and it will fit nicely.
The station is modular as well: You don't have to build the canopy above the platforms, but it's a nice addition. The platform is divided into several sections, which results in the station being able to be enlarged in width and length.
The station design is simple but effective and isn't based on any real building. The small towers aren't really necessary, but they are a nice addition. I got the idea for these as I recently got a Bionicle polybag with 4 of these pieces: www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=20252&ccName=6106738
Any suggestions? I'd be happy to hear what you think of it!!!
Lego bookstore modular inspired by A.Masow Architects concept store. There are four apartments above the bookstore. The modular house can be opened at the back and is fully furnished. About 6500 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used. Reference images.
So this is a little "Collection" Pic of all my CUSTOM yes that right My custom modular buildings!
Enjoy!
Two townhouses inspired by houses in Washington, D.C.. Each house is build as a separate 16x32 modular house. Fully furnished. Computer rendering but buildable if you have the bricks.
Rendered just before some minor detail changes, this is the most up-to-date render of my modular police station. It's still a WIP, but most of the work is interior decorating at this point.
The design is inspired heavily by the old Hartford CT Post Office and Customs House: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartford,_Connecticut#/media/File:H..., as well as the Lego City Police Station 7744.

So many modular builds I've seen are always so... I dunno, ground level? I wanted to build something that had a walkdown to something, like, for example a pub.
Building guide available on www.brickmonster.toys
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.

There are four pieces missing from the LXF. You have to imagine four 1x1 Technic Brick with pin hole placed there. (Pin holes have restrictions in LDD)

The facade of this hospital is modelled after Ullevål Universitetssykehus, which is a hospital in Oslo, Norway.

This is the smallest configuration - a 32 x 32 sized landing pad for small ships. The best part is I can expand it like a rectangle if I want.
a modular model taught by Julia Schönhuber in Vienna. folded from 6 sheets of her paper. she didn't know the designer, though.

God, this photo's terrible. Anywho, I thought I may as well pop a WIP shot of some stuff I've been working on. The building on the left is supposed to be a florist. I'll have to take more detailed and, quite frankly, way better, photos of the inside to show off a technique I used on the wall. Might be new, might not be. You can also see a sliver of the pet shop, which has undergone some re-modelling.
On the right is a coffee shop. So far, I'm quite happy with it. Like the florist, I'll have to take better shots of the inside.
Now, don't go expecting frequent WIP uploads. The reason this is all there is is, well, I've run out of bricks (yet i was still somehow able to build the next floor base and the roof). Really gotta order some in, particularly sand green. Out of interest, does anyone have an idea of the existence of 1X1 plates in sand green? Also what set they come in if they do exist. Cheers :D
60° Origami Modular (Maria Sinayskaya)

Something I ended up with after some fiddling with this modular.
A bit too much fiddling, probably...
