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.

It looks the same way on the other side.

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.

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!!!

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.
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.
8x8 mini-modular designed for the Rebrick Mini-building Madness 2017 contest (3D model, no restriction on part colors).
This modular building (32 x 32 studs) was inspired by The First Church of Springfield from "The Simpsons."
The interior features six full pews which can accommodate three minifigures each - for a total of 18 parishioners. Using the pipe organ you can sing along to "In the Garden of Eden" by I. Ron Butterfly or you may choose instead to use lectern to advertise for Mr. Plow.
In addition to high-quality, easy-to-follow PDF instructions, I also provide a series of PNG files that give you options to create stickers/custom prints for the church's infamous marquee sign.
Find the instructions here and on Rebrickable.com!

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.

Built for Brickfair Virginia to go along with WAMALUG's Pharaoh's Labyrinth, it is modular and allows for expansion on both levels.
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.

Our mini modular street as of 8/5/18. These are collaborative builds between my partner and myself: they sketch out designs and plans, and I iterate them in bricks! Most of these have furnished interiors, even though they're impossible to see sometimes.

I'm so happy, because I can slowly start folding again!! As a extra practice getting my wrist back in shape, I started to fold modules and today I completed this one ;-))
It's a truncated icosahedron, called origami 'New Year's Ball', created by Michael Trew.

God, this photo's terrible. Anywho, I thought I may as well pop a WIP shot of some stuff I've been working on. The building on the left is supposed to be a florist. I'll have to take more detailed and, quite frankly, way better, photos of the inside to show off a technique I used on the wall. Might be new, might not be. You can also see a sliver of the pet shop, which has undergone some re-modelling.
On the right is a coffee shop. So far, I'm quite happy with it. Like the florist, I'll have to take better shots of the inside.
Now, don't go expecting frequent WIP uploads. The reason this is all there is is, well, I've run out of bricks (yet i was still somehow able to build the next floor base and the roof). Really gotta order some in, particularly sand green. Out of interest, does anyone have an idea of the existence of 1X1 plates in sand green? Also what set they come in if they do exist. Cheers :D
After uploading this I'm going to disassemble everything except for the modules and appliances themselves, which I'll transfer to the empty kitchen in my Suburban Home moc.
A modular Parisian sort-of style hotel, featuring 2 basic rooms, 2 larger rooms, and a lovers' suite on the top floor, complete with a heart-shaped bed and wine bar. Also, a set of non-working elevators.
I'm fairly happy with the way it turned out... still working on improving my interiors... I ran out of tiles by the top floor, hence the boring plain white plate floor.

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.

Something I ended up with after some fiddling with this modular.
A bit too much fiddling, probably...

I think this one has a better layer contribution... or maybe not :)
