My very first modular house. My entry to the Modular MOC Madness competition of LowLUG. This built is based on an existing house in my home town Wageningen. It used to be a bakery in my childhood.
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...
8 units of 15 cm Kami.
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.
These four mad mazing modular builders were toroLUG's march window at Sherway Gardens, Toronto.

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/).
You can find the original project here:

Modular Pharmacy, detail: Ground floor with shelves, spiral staircase and small office space in the corner.
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.
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.

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

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.

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.

Modular Vegetable Garden created as a central MOC for my city. Playing around with NPU building techniques en cool references.
its an old model, posted here a few years ago, and since the diagrams are published in The Fold (http://www.origami-usa.org/thefold006_garibi_modulars) here it is again.
8 units of Duo Kami.
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 ;)

Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 8 units, no glue
Variations of this star. Not very good though:)) Too many layers in the center.
I rebuilt my art gallery, keeping the white interior walls, but wrapping the exterior in dark grey and adding some bricked up windows in the back for character.

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!
The back has a modern looking expansion to the building.

Another version of this star, even simpler.

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.

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.
