A recent experiment with modular drawing. All sections drawn in 58 minutes. Starting with one drawing across a trifold, I used folds in subsequent drawings as seeds for other ones. Some patterns only appear when two sheets are folded and aligned.
There are some inaccuracies because I would occasionally draw across a fold by accident.

I have submitted this modular Lego castle system to Lego Ideas as the Kingdoms Modular Castle. If you like this system, please vote for it.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN - This is a vintage piece from Scandinavia (or two pieces, rather) that our indefatigable intern Jasper painted for us. What was once run-of-the-mill has become anything but, with colors that really pop, but stay grounded enough (with the grey and blue) not to overwhelm a room. Also, super-practical storage!
Width 80cm, depth 37.5cm, height 58cm (per piece)
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.
A ring torus I made for class in the period of 4 days out of 555 PHiZZ modules (designed by Tom Hull.)
I'm not sure how big I will make this, but here's the basic idea. There will be regular landscape on top where the dark tan plates are now. The top righthand corner of the rightmost module has a tunnel entrance.
Set 10224, Town Hall, was new for 2012, and became the latest addition to the highly sought-after Modular series. It depicts a small-city town hall with three stories of civic function spaces, a great belfry, and a whopping eight minifigures. At 2766 pieces and $200, it is the most elaborate and expensive Modular building to date, and it took me nine hours, spread over a month, to build.
The ground floor is finished. Very interesting details for the build of the Greco-Roman facade, especially for the Ionic columns and the roof decorations. The five minifigures packaged with the ground floor - Boy, Girl, Bride, Groom, and Journalist - are now posed, complete with the Journalist's camera.
Up the stairs will be 1/F, where you are greeted by the Toy Story shelf and the Lightyear figure. You can try the 3-eye Alien headpiece! Turning around is the much anticipated Frozen shelf, with all the icy items you can purchase! See that girl who is in love with the Snowgie cushions? You can also meet Elsa, Anna and Olaf and take pictures with them! Then you will see the little food corner, facing the staircase to the roof top.
This is my first attempt at making a modular street scene, it's a work in progress so comments and critiques are more than welcome.
well, I do hope that my second original modular is a real original, not like the first one (posted as Froeble Modular) which was invented first by Bennett Arnstein...
It is based on my Spiraled Square (one of my very first models).
30 pieces, 4X4 Kami paper.
Aside from the black and white, I added a gray shade using an old telephone directory ( It was also fun looking at all those unique names and endless phone numbers ).
my design, but it's so simply, that it's quite possible, that it exists somewhere - and so it is... as Haligami pointed out, it's traditional design...
from 8 units, quite effective use of paper:
8 squares 1,8 cm -> 3,5 cm star (red-green)
8 squares 3,75 cm -> 6,9 cm star (blue-white)
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/).
