After 3 attempts I made a decent looking modular building for my city. I do need to do more on the exterior, and currently the interior doesn't exsists yet.
Funny thing is I went for a modern looking building but somehow ended up with this
Pictures of a new, unmarked and unnamed tiltrotor aircraft flying over Zeus airbases have been surfacing recently.
It is not known wether the VTOL is with Zeus or merely being tested here by one of the allied nations, however several interesting observations have been made. The design of the hull and tail seem to indicate at least some degree of stealth. In addition to the main-rotors, there appear to be secondary jetengines in the swallow-style tail to provide additional thrust and in-flight maneuvering.
Most interestingly though, is the fact that the rear of the craft seems to be modular in nature and has been seen both fitted with a troop-transport module as well as lifting-equipment for smaller vehicles.
We can only assume this new aircraft is a multi-purpose medium-lifter for special operations.
We will try to bring you more information as this story develops.
Took all the feedback from the first image and made the suggested changes. Not seen here are the flaps on the back of the wings, which are stable enough, since they are basically stuffed with pegs and connectors for additional stability.
This is not the final version hower, I just realized the tail-booms need to be raised by about a brick, in order to fit the AMPVs in the rear-compartment (which is 8-wide without the troops-module.)
Last patch with my modular system. The video you can find here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmnURWiQwgA

Started this aaaaaaages ago. I originally started this mod for my Ghost figure, as he has a grey ACR in the MW2 level 'Loose Ends'. I didn't do particularly well; to finish this, I ended up having to add putty to fix the accidents made while filing. :P
So yes. I've used the classic Brickarms G36 as the base, and I've painted, sculpted, and glued a bunch of stuff onto it.
The stock is completely scratch-built from plastic card and a coupla squares of e-tape.
The rails are made of plastic card, cut into miniscule strips and glued. Bloody painstaking process, but I like the result.
With all the modular madness going on recently, I decided to make it modular. I elected not to make removable sights, since that would have interfered with the rails and I wanted to leave them intact. But the magazine is interchangable, and you can add a foregrip or grenade launcher.
So yeah. Comments and criticism appreciated! This is for an upcoming figure.
Now that I actually look at this photo, it's not a particularly flattering one. Oh well. It looks far less messy in real life; cameras tend to pick up little details.

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...
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.
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).
Origami Modular, 60° at the tip (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 12, 4 units, no glue
Folded in between game drives in Kruger Park:)
My latest experiment in something other than standard modular buildings. The alley features a dead end, some boxes and a dumpster.
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.
Modular Origami Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
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.

Similar to these ones:
I designed this with the Parisian Restaurant in mind, but it is made to be totally modular and used with any Modular from Lego or custom built.
The central part of my idea is the park, which in turn can be used as a larger park or two smaller ones, on the likes of the Lego Pet Shop modular.
But there’s more! It can be connected to extra pavements and these can also be used with your modulars, to create squares, make a standard modular look like a corner one, or create your own and unique combination. Did I mention that there's also a colorful mosaic?
There's a bunch of accessories, from a fire hydrant to a comfy bench, and some of them are used to disguise the standard Technic brick used to connect modulars.
And if that was not enough, you will get a lot of accessories to make your city stem to life!
There's a newspaper kiosk, designed to remind the Parisian ones, a crepes rickshaw, a trash trolley, a monumental statue, two wonderfully flowered trees and a big oak tree to give some shade in the park.
And then several other smaller accessories that can be used with this set or all over your modular town.
And, last but not least, there’s 7 minifigs (and a dog) to animate the town!
If you are a Lego Modulars fan, you will want to have all of these in your Lego town.

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.
I've refined the modular building quite a lot. The corner pieces are solid to provide bracing but all others components are totally modular.

rectangles (1:2), 4 units, no glue
Some other variations of this unit.
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.
Paper: Hexagons cutted from 20 cm, 15 cm, 10 cm, 7.5 cm and 5 cm Glassine

Based on a Model by Tomoko Fuse
Wanted to redo this star for some time with more layers. To fit one hexagon into the other, I had to fold the other tips outside too and couldn't use Tomoko Fuse's locking mechanism. Depending on the size of the inner hexagon, the layers are moving a bit.
8x8 mini-modular designed for the Rebrick Mini-building Madness 2017 contest (3D model, no restriction on part colors).
The Selfish Shellfish Self-Service Seafood Restaurant. Pick fresh seafood on the first floor, take it home or eat it in a cozy room on the second floor.

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.
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):

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:
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.
Three former Aero Union Lockheed P-3A Orion fire-fighting aircraft at Chico Regional Airport (CIC / KCIC).
The three aircraft carry markings for MAFFS, current manufacturer of the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System. See:
