The island project started with this two year old MOC. Still acceptable and will be used as it is with the 11 other modules I plan to build.
I caught the GBC bug. Made a wheel module today. It is equiped with a Si-MOC FrogPOD from BrickWorld 2013.

Lockheed Martin technicians at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, Louisiana, complete the final weld on the pressure vessel of the Orion crew module for Exploration Mission-2, the first flight of Orion with astronauts which will carry them farther into the solar system than ever before.
Modules and corridors can be built directly on the baseplate. Here's a ground floor module with two connecting corridors.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Twenty four metres, at 13:00pm on Monday 4th November 2019, off Hyde Park Corner and Park Lane A4202 in the grounds of Hyde park, a Grade 1 listed Royal Park (the largest of) of London.
Spanning an area of 350 acres, the park is divided by the Serpentine and the Long water lakes, and was created by King Henry VIII in 1536 as hunting ground. It opened to the puiblic in 1637 and was extensively improved under Queen Caroline in the early righteenth century. The Great exhibition for which the Crystal Palace was erected, designed by Joseph Paxton, was also held here.
Here we see, Sciurus Carolinensis (Eastern Gray Squirrel or Grey Squirrel), a tree squirrel native to North America and first introduced to the UK in the 1870's. Though it was largely resonsible for the decimation of our own native red squirrel population, those are now on the increase and found in certain parts of the UK including Scotland. The Greys are still an ecologically essential natural forester regenerator.

Bremen, Germany. Orion's European Service Module is loaded on the Antonov airplane for transport to Kennedy Space Center.
For the first time, NASA will use a European-built system as a critical element to power an American spacecraft, extending the international cooperation of the International Space Station into deep space. The European Service Module is a unique collaboration across space agencies and industry including ESA’s prime contractor, Airbus, and 10 European countries. The completion of service module work in Europe and shipment to Kennedy signifies a major milestone toward NASA’s human deep space exploration missions to the Moon and beyond.

Module for transporting containers. It an expansion of the Rock Raiders Tunnel Transport 2.0 helicopter.
After struggling with sub-standard tables at public shows resulting in warped baseplates, wavy track alignment, etc.; I decided I should build my own table modules. The design objectives were as follows:
1) self-contained table module with legs, wiring, etc. built-in
2) dimensionally aligned to integer multiples of 16-studs
3) mutually aligned with dowels and/or bolts in both end-end or end-side configurations
4) support optional drop-in modules between self-standing modules
The design you see here is the result. I have built 4x of these modules for my latest Lego model railway and I am quite satisfied with the result. They have proven to be very robust and provide a flat consistent surface for the baseplates. The disadvantage of this design is its weight. Its a compromise I was willing to accept in exchange for robustness. These modules have to survive the rigours of transport to/from public shows as well as within my own house!

This is a very simple module and I am sure some other folders may have already discovered it. The module is simply a Preliminary Base [Square Base] with 2 opposite corners folded in to the centre. 8 Modules are connected by simple folds to form a ring of Triangles. I would recommend 7.5cm squares for the modules.
I am re-posting this module which was created [discovered] in 1990. The main reason for re-posting this is that I found a more logical way to get that odd angle. The method is quite accurate but I do not think that it is Mathematically correct. The method is best illustrated by the photo diagram. Briefly, it shows the angles [in black] required for 4, 6, 8 modules assembly like stars, and coasters. Those angles radiate from the bottom left corner to the middle crease line. These angles can be easily generated by simple folds. Therefore, in order to get the angle required for a 5 piece assembly, logically, that angle should be in between 4 and 6. Can I logically assume that the bisector [circled and in red] the correct angle? Likewise, for a 7-piece assembly I take the bisector of 6 and 8 to be the correct angle. The interesting part here is that, that angle radiates from the corners to almost the middle of the opposite edge. I have assembled some 7 piece coasters quite accurately with this and will post them in due course. More details of this module was posted in 1993 - www.flickr.com/photos/61236172@N08/11003407114/in/datepos...
Led flash module. Inside the opening for the Mitutoyo 10X lens. The 12 power leds are not solderd but connected via 24 x M2 brass screws which press on the led contacts. I can even modify LED types with the same module.
The 12 LEDs are divided into 6 groups. Each time there are two LEDs connected together on the PCB. LEDs shine through the 12 holes of 8mm diameter each. Each group can be controlled separately. The direction and amount of light may be a result set.
The base plate is made of aluminum for cooling. The back of the LEDs have an additional thin special thermal film of 0.2mm in order to have good thermal conductivity. The LEDs can operate continuously at full power.

The pressure vessel was transported in its Crew Module Transportation Fixture by super-wide transport truck from Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans. The pressure vessel is Orion's primary structure that holds the pressurized atmosphere astronauts will breathe and work in while in the vacuum of deep space. Photo credit: NASA/Frank Michaux
A module for a planned micropolis skyscraper. Not exactly something unique or fancy pancy, but less waste of parts, compared to my other similar builds. There is still room for improvement, but I have chosen parts that I have plenty of. At first I used a technic brick 6x8 instead of regular 1x8 bricks. It is a bit sturdier, but I do not want a rectangular section. They are probably unnecessary anyway.
It is somewhat influenced by Max Braun's supertall - Weiss Tower. I often use grille tiles as windows, but two-by-two in the corners is new to me. I generally prefer 1x1, but then I have horizontal plates outermost in the facade. Now I want a tall, modular tower with a cleaner look and fewer parts. The curtain wall will cover every side, with either a plate 6x12 or 6x24, covered with grille tiles. I usually place the curtain wall half a plate from the outer edge, but here it is flush with the corners.
Part list:
12x Plate 1x1, 3024
2x Plate 1x6, 3666
4x Plate 1x8, 3460
1x Plate 8x8, 41539
4x Plate 6x12, 3028
8x Brick 2x2x3, 30145
16x Brick 2x2 Corner, 2357
4x Brick 1x8, 3008
8x Bracket 1x2 - 1x2 Inverted, 99780
8x Bracket 1x2 - 1x2, 99781
144x Tile, Modified 1x2 Grille, 2412
this is where i will be hanging the world's longest marblechute during the next 6 weeks for the grand opening of planet modulor on the 30th of september.
Name : Snowflake Module
Designer : Francis M. Y. Ow
Folder : Sam.Amalan
Parts : 6
Joint : Nothing (Assembly Little Tricky )
Diagram : Reverse Engineered
Today I saw this model it attracted me much to fold,But my paper is worst.
Francis Ow is one of the best modular designer in the world,and also one of my most Respectable person,He is so kind,but I never met him.
Here are my diagrams for the pentagon cross module.
The angle at step 7 has not exact 54 degrees, but this approximation with 53.96 degrees is quite good and relative easy and fast to fold.
Examples for this module are the Pentagon Cross Dodecahedron or coasters by Francis Ow.
Happy folding !
This is the type of vehicle used to land on the lunar surface by astronauts in the Apollo missions to the Moon. The one on display in the National Air and Space Museum is a real lander whose mission was canceled. The lower halves of six of these vehicles are still sitting on the lunar surface. The upper halves carried the astronauts back to their command module for return home. A lunar lander like this was seen in "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian."

I wanted to build a ship/probe module that had the textures of current technology coupled with the shapes and lines of the sci-fi world not yet invented. All stickers are official (from the Discovery line.) All pictures at Brickshelf once moderated.
Dedicated to nnenn.
the man in the bottom left corner is kai, a designer who works for modulor. he helped me build the scaffolding, among other things, thx kai!!
must be seen big
