Posted March 27, 20231 yr Hi All, My study has shelving built into the walls which are 47 studs wide. This poses a bit of a challenge, as Lego suits more to even numbers with the standard baseplates being 32 and 48 studs wide. I want the Jazz Club to fit to the shelves so bought a second kit, along with mini builds from the Moving Truck GWP, and the Light My Bricks lighting kit. I built the Jazz Club per instructions to get the hang of it and then rebuilt it to a cut down 47x32 baseplate. The Jazz Club has gone from 20 to 30 studs wide, and the Pizzeria has gone from 12 to 17 studs wide. The stud saving from 18 to 17 on the Pizzeria was done by having the column to the left of the door to be 1 column wide rather than 2, it's hardly noticeable. I also changed the outside lights on the Pizzeria as the kit light was too wide for the narrower gap between the awnings. The extra floor space allowed other interior changes; the stage is bigger allowing a 5 piece band including the piano from the Moving Van, the Pizzeria has a table and a jukebox, the Tailor has extra bench space, the balcony in the Manager's office is larger, and the dressing room has an extra couch and more room for the performers to warm up before their gigs. The Light My Bricks kit was typically fiddly, but it suits this set really well, with the flashing lights at the entry and the stained glass windows. The last photo shows the other Modulars I have, with Assembly Square also reconfigured to be 47 studs wide. It was a great project to do. Edited March 27, 20231 yr by TheWineNut Grammar correction

Thanks, I've had a few Light My Bricks kits, and for me the Treehouse and this Jazz Club kit are fantastic kits and really suit the kits they are based on. 1 hour ago, Yperio_Bricks said: Your modular buildings display looks wonderful. Love it! Thanks, as mentioned the space I have to work with is awkward, however I'm really pleased with the results. 4 hours ago, JopieK said: Very nice indeed! Great job.

I still need to build my Jazz Club but adding MILS will be the first thing and I might use your work as inspiration :) Most of my LEGO is in storage while waiting on a new to build extension of the house with LEGO basement.

Thanks, I really like the Art Deco features on the facade which provide extra interest to the build On 3/27/2023 at 11:34 PM, brickhead_07 said: Cool expansion! Great improvement Thanks, having the extra space on the interiors provided extra interest.
March 31, 20231 yr Looks really good! How did you mod the assembly square? Did you just take one stud away from the alleyway between the sand blue and sand green buildings?
