Showing the sliding elevator doors. I really really wanted to make elevator doors that actually looked like elevator doors, and could slide open. Took me ages to get to this final solution.
Made for the Modular Madness contest on Eurobricks.
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.
I put up some pictures of it a while ago, but now I made some better ones.
It is also my project on Lego Cuusoo. lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/677
This is my first modular building. It sucks because I was very limited on pieces (almost all pieces come from the Green Grocer, except for a few small ones).
I'll be taking the whole thing down shortly, as I've ordered some new pieces to add better details. Though it will most likely be a completely different building when I'm done with it. XD
P.S. it is based on Market Street, if you hadn't noticed yet. :P
Once in place, simply attach the new baseplate to the others in the street with the white lampposts and you're good to go!!!!

Modular Bank. I've added some spotlights to light up the underside of the arch. I was also happy to discover that Duplo brick with the printed money pattern - perfect for a bank like this, and in white, too! Added some lighting to that as well - by using a piece that I've found more and more uses for :)

In the desert of the African coast, dark and dreary clouds loomed in the sky. With the weather unpredictable, Soldiers were making use of their time in training.
Soldiers with the 331st Transportation Company and 1098th Medium Boat Company, out of Fort Eustis, Va., took part in survival, escape and evasion training to improve their skills and combat efficiency during exercise African Lion 2011 at Cap Draa, Morocco, May 5.
Exercise African Lion 11 is a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-directed, U.S. Africa Command-scheduled, U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Africa-conducted, joint and bi-lateral exercise between the Kingdom of Morocco and the U.S. that involves more than 2,000 U.S. service members, consisting of elements from the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force, training alongside approximately 900 members of the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces. The exercise takes place from April 25 to June 18.
The Soldiers participating in the exercise formed an element titled Task Force 24.
“Survival skills are good for all Soldiers in the Army to know,” said Sgt. 1st Class Nathan Almaas, the training instructor and Juneau, Alaska, native with TF 24. “If you are ever stuck out in the desert, this is good training to have.”
Almaas demonstrated to Soldiers techniques to purify urine into drinking water, find true north, determine edible foods and benefits of eating certain animals, and starting fires.
The Soldiers became more inventive by learning unorthodox methods to start fires such as using household accelerants and items for ignition. Soldiers were shown how insect repellants and hand sanitizers are flammable and can be ignited by using pieces of glass, personal glasses, and flint in order to survive.
Almass said the survival training gives Soldiers one-on-one experience in advanced and reliable techniques they would normally have to learn from a more advanced military course. He said this knowledge is potentially lifesaving and invaluable for each and every Soldier partaking.
The training was serious, yet some Soldiers like Staff Sgt. James Brogan from Boston, with the 331 Transportation Company, Modular Causeway, tried to make the training fun while keeping its effectiveness. Brogan kept his group of Soldiers motivated by calling them “Brogans Team Elite” and by comically giving them constructive criticism when correcting their errors instead of the usual military seriousness.
Survival is the most basic instinct of anyone, but the knowledge needed to survive without modern commodities can only be gained by proper training.
“We’ve tried to harness the power of fire since the dawn of man,” said Brogan, “and today we have.”
So this is how the walls would go in.
Each wall is just slightly shorter than the full length of the slot, so a neighbouring wall can jut up next to it.
Also, note that the strips of cardboard on the edges are not glued all the way to the bottom, 'cause that would prevent the wall from going into the slot.

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 is the first module, showing the axles I have inserted in preparation for connecting the two 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.
Modular Bank - the original version with a roof that 'makes it look like a barn', according to some voices on Eurobricks. I agree. So I came up with version 2...
Coming soon from Pittsburgh Modular is the new module Timetable. It is a combination of a basic clock divider (the left hand section) and a voltage-controlled pattern generator (for lack of a better term).
