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 :)
A simple modular star from circles (6 units, no glue)
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.
Modular Origami Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
The paper I used here is one of the patterns from Zen Origami kit The model is not, though! I'm just using the paper to fold all the current stuff I'm working on. There are 40 sheets of each pattern and as I have already folded a 30 unit model from this particular one (haven't uploaded yet), I "can afford" now using the rest of the sheets for stars :)
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.
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.
Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (1:3), 8 units, no glue
All these are folded from 1:3 rectangles of the same size (2.5*7.5 cm). The smallest stars will work better from 2:5 though.
So this is a little "Collection" Pic of all my CUSTOM yes that right My custom modular buildings!
Enjoy!

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.

A Greek meander pattern folded as modular origami. The bent frame technique is the “Thoki Yenn style” which I also employed in a number of other models.
Each of the five full loops of the curve is a single unit, folded from a 1:5 rectangle, so that the whole model can be made from five pieces cut from a single square. Of course, it is possible to add as many units as required to make a longer model.
In theory, one could fold the whole thing (or even arbitrarily many turns of the curve) from a single long strip of paper, but such long strips are not very practical to fold with. For those who do not like even 1:5 ratio paper, it is possible to make each segment a separate unit, thus exchanging the ease of folding for much more measuring and cutting.

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.
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.
