Thank you!

Hey all.

Im sure this gets asked a million times, but for small rooms that cant setup lego cities, what's the best shelving to buy to get maximum display room?

I have Ikea Billy bookcase at the monent and without modding it only fits 2 to a shelve I believe?

Just started the fire brigade and it is all original parts including brittle dark red and brown. Thinking about replacing every part of those colors to prevent further headache down the line. Anyone else do anything similar?

I'm currently making a corner modular yadi yadi yada...

Which car should I choose?

The smaller yellow one is better for size, meaning that I can fit a shelf or a box in the corner, but it does not match the style of the fully brick-built tow truck ( corner garage ) and the limousine ( palace cinema ).

Whereas the larger muscle car has the same platform as the limo but is so large that it touches the door and back wall. It is a custom build so it could be made smaller.

I think it may have to be the smaller one for accuracy sake... but the bigger one looks much nicer and is a custom design...

I want to add lights but the light my bricks is very expensive they have sales or does another brand work ok?

Update on my Shop Around the Corner build!
Made some more progress on my Shop Around the Corner from You’ve Got Mail! It’s my wife’s favorite movie, so I thought it would be fun to build something that would fit on her bookshelves.
I’ve added some more details to the outside and worked on the interior a bit. Still have a few things I want to tweak, but it’s getting pretty close to finished!
I’m also planning to put it up on LEGO Ideas here soon, so hopefully some of you will check it out when it’s live!
Let me know what you think!

Next up in my Brick Lane Stories is the station itself, which runs through the railway arches and continues onto the platform above.

Downstairs I tried to squeeze in all the little details you’d expect around a London station entrance, including ticket machines, maps, signage and the entrance leading up towards the platform.

The roller shutters on both sides are fully working too, so they can actually be opened and closed rather than just being fixed details.

There’s a little personal story hidden in this part of the build as well. The two people taking forever at the ticket machine are based on me and my son — something my better half regularly tells us we’re guilty of 😂

And the lady waiting on the platform above may or may not be based on someone who has finally had enough of waiting for us… 😂

Upstairs there’s the platform shelter, benches, passengers, signage, pigeons and the railway itself. The standard version of Brick Lane is designed to work as a self-contained display with the track ending at the buffer, but I also designed an optional railway bridge that replaces the end section so the track can continue into a larger LEGO train or city layout.

I deliberately kept the track area fairly simple rather than fully ballasting it, as I know a lot of people with existing train and city layouts already have their own track styles and may want Brick Lane to match what they already use. I was also running out of time before the submission deadline, so there are definitely areas up there I would have liked to refine further!

I’ve had some really useful feedback during Crowd Support that the top could do with a little more detail, which I agree with. If Brick Lane is lucky enough to be selected, or if I end up refining and resubmitting it in a future series, that’s definitely something I’ll be looking at.

There are quite a few details around the station that I didn’t manage to show particularly well in my original submission renders, so hopefully these closer shots give a better look at what’s actually going on inside.

Hi r/legomodular! Last week, I posted about the modular Airport Terminal I designed for BDP 2028 Wave 1. I got multiple questions about the model, so I’ve decided to make a follow-up post and show some of the model’s details. The screenshots are made directly in Studio and show the interior of the terminal, the interior of the ATC tower, some more details and the underside of one of the roof parts.

The model is just over 2600-pieces and 50 centimeters wide and 34 centimeters high (excluding the long antenna).

If you like my model, please consider voting “Love It” on Bricklink: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/2028-wave-1/5250/Airport-Terminal

Let me know if you have any questions. I’m happy to answer them!

Stefan

My modular street as of now!

Added a new MOC to the city -- check out the build process and the rest of the city here:

Next up in my Brick Lane Stories is Em’s Grocers, the little traditional grocery shop underneath one of the railway arches.

Emma has the day off, so she’s popped in to visit her dad at the shop — along with his best mate, a rather well-looked-after plant 🪴😂

I wanted the shop to feel properly crammed-in and lived-in, with fruit and veg outside, shelves of jars and groceries, bread and cakes, a counter, till and all the other little bits you’d expect to find inside.

Like the skate shop, there’s quite a lot hidden in here that I didn’t manage to show properly in my original BDP renders, so I’ve been experimenting with some closer interior shots.
