May 29, 20159 yr Almost everyone relies on Ikea. The shelf depth is perfect for 32x32 baseplate. For the bookshelves, i like what you did with the pencil (i guess) Could work well with some stickers too :)
May 29, 20159 yr DrJosephMosch, this looks great - love all the detail and humor, the park makes a really nice addition to the street too
May 29, 20159 yr Here are mine - yes, agree Ikea shelves work well, maybe in future have a table with fairground in the middle!
June 3, 20159 yr LegoSjaak, that tiled plaza looks great! Really like the trees and flower planter - gives it a very finished look
June 13, 20159 yr Personally I love the look of floating shelves, unfortunately due to the way they're hung right now they aren't quite strong enough for me to trust them with my modulars, so they're resting on a bookshelf for the time being.
June 15, 20159 yr LegoSjaak, love the design for your modular town. Thanks, i'still working on it....expected a lot of tan baseplates for the sidewalks (cycle-path) today, but they didn't show up... hopefully there is nothing wrong with the shipment, so it will arrive tomorrow!! I'll post some pictures soon in my topic: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=106373 Edited June 15, 20159 yr by LegoSjaak
June 18, 20159 yr This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Heaven on earth :):):):):) I do not have any yet for I am mostly a star wars and train enthusiast, but with the ones I have seen I would like to get some for myself Edited June 18, 20159 yr by Legoboy22

The 190cm (whatever inch that is :) ) shelf from IKEA supports up to 25kg (whatever lbs that is) tested myself with 8-9 modulars. Been 6 months, still holding up.
July 27, 20159 yr Does anyone using ikea stockholm display cabinet? I'm thinking to get one or a detlof.
July 28, 20159 yr Does anyone using ikea stockholm display cabinet? I'm thinking to get one or a detlof. I too am curious about the stockholm. It's roomy enough to fit three modulars per shelf, but I wish the doors didn't have a frame that obstructs the view. The stockholm is not available in my nearby ikea so I can't even look at it. The 2016 Ikea catalog just came out and the price went up too. :( The detlof is inexpensive in comparison, but I don't like my modulars to be separated.

Stockholm , The size is perfect, i'm thinking the same problem also! the DOOR FRAME!!!! I'm from Hong Kong, there're three ikea stores here, but 2016 ikea catalog hasnt came out here yet, even the price now is HK$3490, (APPROX US$ 447) , that is not cheap. I'm not sure if i will buy one if the price go up later. I think about the detolf too, same thing, dont want to separate the modulars, but i've seen people combine two detlof into a double size , it's just im not sure if i can do it on my own.
August 12, 20159 yr I'd been waiting to post in this thread; I recently cleaned up my collection and dusted everything off, and bricklinked a heavily modified MS. As of right now, this is how it's displayed: Modular by Fred Haab, on Flickr In my bedroom ("my" corner, so my wife doesn't complain). I have no room for any more - I have the TH and FB still in their boxes, as I have nowhere to put them. I still have not bought the Detective's Office yet. The furniture you guys are buying look really great for displaying LEGO, but I literally have no space left in my house that I could put another cabinet or bureau, or book case, and very little space for shelves. Those shelves on the bottom there can go down ONE more notch in adjustments, but I don't think it's enough to fit either TH or FB, although I could probably shift things around a bit.

Pretty crowded. :) where did you get the display cases for the Ghostbusters set?
August 13, 20159 yr Pretty crowded. :) where did you get the display cases for the Ghostbusters set? Yeah... it is pretty crowded. I've literally run out of space. The display case is from the container store, the relevant thread is here.
August 14, 20159 yr I've given up on IKEA as one of the 190cm shelves just decided to leave the wall and hug the floor. New shelf system, cheaper and much stronger than IKEA.
August 16, 20159 yr Here is my Modular + MOC + City collection. I have a 6 person dinner table with it placed out as a small town. approx.114 studs wide by 228 studs I am still building a lot of it as can been seen by the empty space at the bottom right corner. Planning on having a park with a stage and food vendors The table works quite well and great because I have the space but definitely looking at shelves or something more compact as my family grows in the future. Or I will just have to make sure I always have an office/lego room in our future houses haha
September 20, 20159 yr This is how i display my modulars, both orignial and MOCs. https://instagram.co...en-by=chilis_no https://instagram.com/p/3zZkCGGebn/?taken-by=chilis_no (Sorry, don`t know how to resize pictures) Edited September 20, 20159 yr by Chilis
September 20, 20159 yr I have my modulars in a closet at my parent's house (My dorm doesn't have space!). I have four modulars ( Cafe Corner, Grand Emporium, Town Hall, and the Chinese Cinema) plus the Haunted House (an honorary modular). They are set up as a street scene on a shelf, with cars driving inbetween. Sometimes I put my superhero minifigs on the roofs fighting bad guys.
September 22, 20159 yr I have no place to display properly. Have to do this... Edited September 22, 20159 yr by attyttup
September 22, 20159 yr Which acrylic box did you use(one piece, or screwed sides) ? Are they strong enough or they under the weight of modulars.
September 22, 20159 yr Latched door with plastic hinges, no screws. It is 4mm thick...i think they can support another level on top Edited September 22, 20159 yr by attyttup
October 5, 20159 yr LegoSjaak - I had the same concern! Luckily the top is deep enough for 48 studs so I plan to put the PS halves around the corners (one half behind GE, the other behind PC) to make room for one more 32x32 along the front. That should "buy" me one more year before I need more storage... Great idea! I just rearranged my street to do this though I'll have to come up with a better solution when the next modular is released.
