    I thought Lego have released 14 modular buildings.
    Building your own modular is a lot of fun but it's very hard. Depending on the level of detail you want.

    Hi JC,
    This is a very good and clear explanation of the basic structure and dimensions of a modular build. Although one can achieve a lot with trial and error, it is always useful to have the basics explained to help the learning curve.
    The bit about the height, especially getting the stairs to the right height, is always difficult to get right so it's really good to have it explained.
    It might also be worth mentioning that the reason you lay down an outline in plates first is so that you then have the height to tile the floor and the courses start above the pavement / sidewalk. if you have internal walls they should also sit on a plate so that their heights align with the external walls, and you should generally connect the internal walls with the external walls for stability.
    Some of the other main characteristics of a modular build that you didn't mention in this video might be worth including in your next one:
    - the sidewalk on the front (which you mentioned) is usually tiled (and conventionally is tiled in 2x2 plates to provide continuity between buildings)
    .
    - modulars should be able to sit side by side with other buildings and that's why they generally don't have windows on the side.
    - they usually have a mechanism for attaching to each other using the technic bricks with a hole and the technic connector, which makes buildings more stable and keeps them in alignment.
    - corner builds can fit a building on each side and can usually be fitted on the left hand or right hand corner (you will probably cover this in your corner build video).
    There is also the feature of official LEGO modulars which is that you can readily add more storeys, because the upper storeys are designed so that they can be 'cloned' by copying the design and they sit on top of each other; the outside profile and the stairs (whether internal or external) always align.
    Of course with a MOC you don't necessarily have to do that.
    Colours for LEGO Buildings
    It might be worth considering a video on the basic colour palettes that are suitable for buildings.
    LEGO is very inventive with colours and their official modular sets are good at introducing new colours.
    But the basic colours like greys, browns, tans, and of course black & white are very prevalent. Then you have the more striking colours like the olive green, sand green, sand blue and even oranges and sand red. To me the 'Friends' colours look out of place on a building although some pastels like pink and yellow can work for certain styles of building.
    It can be a bit frustrating when you're building if you don't have a massive selection of all types of bricks in all different colours. But it doesn't matter too much if the colours aren't right when you are developing a design, because you can always try out different layout and design options with the bricks you have, then replace them with a more colour-coordinated set of bricks later.
    Of course it helps if you have a colour scheme in mind for the building, and most buildings do not have lots of different clashing colours but have a restricted palette. So if you're trying to create a 'realistic' looking building it's usually worth choosing the more 'realistic' colours which LEGO have introduced over the years. It also helps if you look at the colours that are available for the parts you settle on, to assist you in selecting a colour palette that works with your design.
    Great series, keep up the good work!, look forward to the next ones!

    Great video! Another tip is just to get started. I think a lot of people get flustered and don't know how to get started. Best thing is to just build and build. I started building single and dual floor modulars of popular shops like Apple store, Nike store, etc... and now its pretty easy for me to get started. However I don't think I'll ever get up to the level of detail an official Lego set offers.

    16x16 plates ae the way to go for more compact cities.
    I've recently started a city on a 3x6 table. Bought two modulars to get us started (bookstore and assembly square) and already had the infinity war buildings. Decided to adjust everything thing to fit on 16x16 plates.
    To accomplish this I reduced the size of the modular side walks to 3-5 studs and put the light gray curb tiles on the road plates.
    I also lose the back alley and any interior stairs which I don't really miss, and depending on the building a few studs worth of depth.
    I also bought generic road plates from Amazon and cut 5 studs off the sides, the 6th remaining stud row holds the light gray tiles as the curb.

    I was able to modify the interior space of my Market Street modular by moving the stairway from the center to the far back wall as well as redoing the bricks around the window on the top level just make more interior room for furniture without affecting the building itself and it worked.

    This is exactly the video I needed. Want to start with MOC's now that I've built 4 modular buildings.

Like the hammers to create roof decoration on the Assembly Square.

    Awesome! I love all of the modulars LEGO has made, but sometimes LEGO just doesn’t make everything I want! So sometimes I’ll just modify the sets to accommodate my needs, (the detectives office was a good set for doing that) but other times I’ll just build them on Digital Designer, and hope to get them! I definitely want more modular sets though because they always actually cost less than mine, and they look way better!

    • @SmallBrickCity
      @SmallBrickCity  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @SmallBrickCity
      @SmallBrickCity  5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      There are 2 things. One is colour coordination and the other is a good aesthetic design. To start, copy designs, that is the easiest way to improve. For colours, google colour coordination or colour matching (not related to LEGO) to build a vocabulary of what colours go together. Or use recommendations and build from there.

  • @BrickBakery
    @BrickBakery 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Actually, I think you could start even smaller and just try to get an 8x8 building as tall as the other modular buildings. I had to realize the hard way that the official modulars are around 25-35 bricks tall and that each floor is much taller than the traditional door elements (which is five brikcs tall) in fx the Brick Bank. Secondly, there's the question of having enough bricks, which is definitely an important part of getting started as well. If you don't have enough bricks, you'll need to stop all the time to find more. Other than that, I agree with the stuff you talked about here - the height issue is always something that can be difficult to overcome! Thanks for sharing this and keep up the good work!

    • @SmallBrickCity
      @SmallBrickCity  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree small builds help if you are just starting or have a lack of bricks. However, for "expert" modular buildings specifically, I think that is too small a footprint to work with the practice all the build techniques to fit in doors, windows, stairs and internal details. The half modular size gives enough space and allows you to work with less bricks - although I agree it is still a lot of bricks! Thanks!

    • @BrickBakery
      @BrickBakery 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Small Brick City agreed! I guess I was thinking more about the amount of bricks rather than the techniques :-)

  • @brickisland6353

    One more thing, the stairs are the exact same height as the door. The top step is at the same level as the door frame. They should both be 6 bricks high.

      No worries. I probably was not clear. In the context of the vid, it is shorter than the door when the door is on the layout 1 x something plates. And, also once the additional bricks are placed on the doors.

    • @brickisland6353
      @brickisland6353 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SmallBrickCity Hi, yes, when you build your modular, as you said, you always build a couple of bricks extra on top of the door, and then you need to extend the stairs. This is done in all modular buildings. And there are many different techniques used to do this. But this is a very good starter video.

    • @SmallBrickCity
      @SmallBrickCity  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, there is no real rule. Personally, I like grey base plates for buildings but even LEGO gives brown, light tan, green or even red for base plates. I would say it is more important if you are representing outdoor terrain. For the side walk, again no standard but a guide can be a 1 x something long tile for the curb and then three or four 2 x2 titles in (so 7 or 9 studs).

    Building your own modular is very hard. You have certain standards you need to have and to make them look "flush" with other modulars you'll need to have a eye for detail. You really should first "model" your modular in a cat-program like Stud.io (or LDD, many more available)

      Mod-jewel-er is correct. Mod-u-lar if you are a rebel.
