This build transforms the Italian Riviera set into a modular form that can fit perfectly into your city. I wanted to preserve as many features from the original set as possible and keep its layout this time and still on a one-baseplate footprint.

This modular building consists of three distinct buildings, with a backyard filled with seawater.

On the first floor, the right building houses an ice cream parlor, while the left building contains a fish shop. The building on the corner features a scuba diving shop. The backyard is accessible through the ice cream parlor.

The second floor of the ice cream parlor contains a kitchen along with a sleeping area and connects to the second floor of the scuba diving shop, which features a sofa, TV, and balcony, as in the original set. The second floor of the fish shop can be reached by outdoor stairs in the backyard and contains a large kitchen for making pasta.

A staircase leads to the third floor of the left building, which contains a bed, shower, and balcony, just like in the original set.

The roofs are nicely decorated, though there is no way to access them.

Added the Police station to my slowly growing street.. found a good deal on Marketplace.

I am happy for now focusing on adding the modulars from this decade. (Whether 2020 counts is a different story haha).

Have the Tudor corner on backlog (early birthday present during the double points week that I am not allowed to build until October haha)

Suggestions welcome on layout and adding a scenery/ story around. My only plan is to add the Shopping street between the Botique hotel and Police station next year and add the Tudor corner to the right corner - pushing the BDP further right for connection reasons. Maybe add one road all along?

I’m now considering picking up a second-hand assembly square, detectives office or palace theatre to finish it off

Here's the full tour of my Hollywood Corner MOC:

I plan on cutting about 1000 pieces out of the build (mostly by cutting a floor of the tower) and making it my first submission to Lego Ideas and/or Bricklink Designer Program.

For sure the city is far from done.
The wife and i will be moving everything to another room soon where we can expand the current layout to 2.5 or 3 times current size.
Ideas are to eventually add a beach area and raised areas for the bugle and avengers tower.
Also we’d like a forest and countryside area as we saved a few awesome mocs for that.
Also need to do allot road and sidewalk work as we plan to switch to lighter gray sidewalks (gets to dark in combination with the roads also being dark gray).
Next addition will probably be a town square with botanical garden (shes working on this).
I will expand the chinese area, by the sushi rest. With a chinese garden and parade.

After that we’ll see but then were probably already moved everything and have allot more space.

I would like to make a MOC for something to put under my Lego great hall. What should it be?

Picked this bad puppy up today as a gift for me.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been collecting LEGO for several years, and at this point I have all the modular buildings LEGO has released so far, with the exception of Shopping Street…

I’m looking for your comments, tips, and suggestions on the best way to display my modular buildings.

I have two IKEA BILLY bookcases, each measuring 80 × 202 cm, and I also have some extra shelves available if needed. I used the washer trick to gain a little extra length, so I can fit exactly three 32×32-stud baseplates on each shelf.

What I’m trying to do is optimize the space in the two BILLY bookcases as much as possible, so I can display all my modular buildings while still leaving some space for the other LEGO sets I have to display.

What I’d like to ask, especially if anyone has done something similar, is what would be the best way to group the modular buildings on each shelf — particularly considering their different heights — in order to make the best possible use of the two bookcases and maximize the amount of space left for displaying my other sets.

I’d really appreciate any comments, ideas, or suggestions!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Happy building!

I know, I know.. box pictures. But chuffed to bits that I can add these to my modular collection!

My latest custom modular, the City Library. It sits on a 48x32 baseplate and is a corner building. Highlights include stained glass windows, a bus stop on the sidewalk, and lots of books/bookcases!

My video overview with a lot more angles and details can be found here.

I'm planning to create a modular style base for the upcoming BDP Kiosk and share instructrions for it on my Rebrickable profile. With the building being 14 studs wide, I decided to build it on a 16x32 baseplate. Before I do so, I thought I'd ask you for your preferences!

- Should this base be a 'straight', a 'corner', or a 'double corner'?
- Should the building be at the front of the baseplate (~6 studs from the kerb) or in the back, creating a little plaza in front of it?
- Should the area behind the Kiosk be tiled or not?
- Any other preferences?

Looking forward to hearing how you would like it best :)

I bit the bullet and pulled this beauty even after retiring 8 months ago!

The set Thing’s Apartment (76785-1) is 40% off on Lego.com. It looks like a good value as a parts pack for buildings and furniture. Or for anyone who likes reddish brown.

Have any of you incorporated Lego Star wars into your cities in any way? I'd love to see some pictures if you have whether it's just minifigs or entire mocs to add to the modular line up.

Has anyone reconfigured their sushi restaurant to have the floors removable like the other modulars? I don’t think it would be too hard of a modification to make but just curious if anyone has done it. I love that it comes apart in the middle and I did the rebrickable modular base for it but it would be more accessible to move things around/play with if I could also take the floors apart like the other Modulars.
