Has anyone tried/confirmed whether Pick a Brick qualifies for this one?

Good job, I like the angled placement of the building. Nice use of colours with the landscape as well.

Great work. I like every detail, especially the floors and the patterns in the walls. I look forward to seeing more of the scenes from this story - are there any plans of creating more Tolkien/Silmarillion stories after this one?

Nice work, it looks great! Is that a render or a physical build? I've never seen that Forestman's hat in blue before.

I don't actually remember anymore haha. I think it was supposed to be a toaster (with the tan tile on top being a piece of bread sticking out)

Hello everybody, This is an older modular MOC that I designed back in 2017. I recently updated some of the parts in stud.io and made some renders so I thought I'd share them. This is a combination pizzeria and post office with apartment buildings on the upper floors. The full album of pictures can be found on Imgur. The full thing is approximately 3100 pieces, and according to Bircklink, it'd cost ~$800 CAD to create so it'll most likely remain a digital model (unless some remodeling is done.)

Very impressive! Nice work with the background in the first image as well. The colour scheme reminds me of the classic Castle sets.

Great job with those vehicles! You've captured the look and feel of the original sets with a modern piece selection.

I like the level of detail and piece usage, well done!

Looks nice! Good job creating the snow-capped foliage, I especially enjoy the Woodling as well.

Nice work! Good use of colour as well - the sand green complements the orange locomotive.

Like others have said, the majority of pieces for most modulars can be Bricklink'd as long as you don't mind some minor changes throughout. I'd recommend either looking through the parts list on Bricklink to see which pieces are expensive/easily swapped, or (depending on how much time you have) you could try building it in stud.io by following the instructions. That way, you can swap pieces as needed depending on the price (the program estimates each brick's value) and see how it'd look with the alterations before you commit to building it.

These are all very impressive, nice job! Are any of the buildings designed solely using pre-existing colours for the pieces? If not, would you consider designing any with that limitation?

Looks good, sort of like a duplex unit. I'd suggest maybe placing the street lights on the same side of each building to it look a bit more consistent. Are there any plans to expand the book store building as well?

Very impressive, nice work! I especially enjoy the detail around the windows and balconies.

Great work on all of these! I had a couple of these sets as a kid (6431, 6451, and 6462 Aerial Recovery) so this is a nice nostalgia kick. I like how you expanded 6431 into a more versatile utility vehicle. There was a City set from a couple years ago that could be modified to match the old pickup truck style of the original model: 60240 Kayak Adventure (if you swap the red pieces for yellow it'd fit in nicely with the Res-Q colour scheme)

I agree with what others have said - they look simple and effective, especially the ballista. The catapult looks like it would fit nicely into an official LEGO set as well. Well done!

Very impressive, you've done a good job of capturing the feel of the original Black Falcon sets with these. Is the red building inspired by the 6067 Guarded Inn?

Hello everybody, My name isn't actually longjuansilver, but for some long-forgotten reason, that's what I called my Bricklink account many years ago, and now here we are. I grew up building with Lego in the 90s-00s and have been a fan ever since. These days, I usually go through waves of interest in Lego; I'll spend a few weeks/months deeply into the hobby and then a few weeks/months with a passive interest in it. My favourite theme is Castle. I've designed a few castle/medieval MOCs digitally over the years, one of which I built in real life. I also have an ongoing project where I build an island mostly out of spare pieces/misc. parts, however this gets worked on very sporadically (sometimes several years between each of the different sections.) Here is the island so far (as of 2020): I created this account a few years ago and then never posted anything or spent much time here. Over the past few months I've been creating a bunch of MOCs in stud.io and figured it'd be a good time to check out these forums again and learn/share ideas with other people.
