Ok, speaking seriously, he's on Facebook and YouTube, unfortunately he has very few photos on Flickr, it would be great if he could upload more of his great stuff there!  

Thanks for the links! I guess from the looks of it, he does primarily use Instagram as his main hosting site for photos. As you know, I'm always interested to see who isn't on Flickr (for the most part, that is) as far as builders go, just to see who's work I might be missing out on.

Then you're lucky because I lastly started to discover some great MOCs in other websites than Flickr!

Wow this thing looks huge and very impressive. I really like the shape of the roof on this one.

Like that Imperial Plaza you highlighted from Brickshelf? I mean, damn, that is one incredible find!

Very pretty top! Might have to try something like it in the future! Looks classy but at the same time modern.

That's some great variegated masonry there, with its Dark Red and Dark Tan mixed amongst the predominant Bright Red! I do also like the construction of those doorway/window arches too.

This one is my favourite of today's picks. It looks a very typical style of building you'd find in London and all over Britain. I like the detailing and decorative elements around the windows. There is just the right amount of detail there to make it look realistic but not too fussy and overly intricate. I also like the way the roof has been tiled.

All these + the techniques and the street lamps make this MOC just incredible!

I think it's made with flippers! Isn't that a genius idea?  For us it seems to be a genius idea but probably @oirad 72 doesn't feel something really special for it as he always manages to squeeze in some real NPU! I call him "NPU king!" Why? The images below will definitely tell you more than I can.

Wow, we've had four awesome modulars in only three days that normally I'd have chosen as a Staff Pick but I decided to not make anymore "Fresh" Staff Picks as the goal of this topic is to make discover new modulars. Anyway, enjoy!

 Congrats to all these MOCers! I really hope seeing more modulars by you, JanetVanD, they are fantastic!

 

 

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I'm currently working on a MOC of another iconic London building which I started in December and hope to have completed in July. It will be quite large, measuring at 60cm high, 60cm deep and just over 3 metres long. With five floors to reproduce in full detail, both inside and out, it is quite a challenge. Actually, the sheer size of the build, the level of detail I've committed to and all of the technical problems I've had to overcome so far (I'm approx half way) had me feeling a bit overwhelmed but the comments on this thread has given me a confidence boost just when I needed it. Thanks, guys!

From the way it sounds, it's shaping up to be monumental.

Sometimes simplest is best. The first one is one of the simplest builds I've seen in a while that has had me staring at it for some time. It had very beautiful windowing on the ground and the top floors.

That's a brilliant idea to use flippers as roof tiles. Thanks for sharing some of his other pics as well, really clever parts usage. I assume you've seen the pictures of his layout as well, it looks stunning.

All three of these have something noteworthy to come away with. As its name makes focus of, the gold windows and vines on this creation make for a really pretty chapel build! The 88 Club, on the other hand, offers a generous helping of Art Deco motifs and accenting which works quite nicely. The last one, as simple as it may be, has a pleasant color trifecta of Reddish Violet, Dark Bluish Grey, and Reddish Brown that I kinda like!

Red and blue in any hue paired together always catches my eye, and then utilized for an Art Deco modular?

If you superimposed this onto an actual street, I wouldn't know it was actually Lego!

As a building, this is not my taste at all (brutalist architecture rarely tends to be...), but as a Lego model, this is absolutely stunning. If it wasn't for the foliage and visible studs on the roof, you might mistake it for a scale model, or maybe even a photograph of an actual building.
