Huge help! I've been building sets for awhile now and wanna build my own modular and your vidoe helped me enormously decide where to begin! Thank you for your time and your help. I live in a rural area so no Lego store to part out so the next step is to list and order parts so I can get started. Thank you take care and keep posting your wisdom is appreciated!

Well done. I particularly like the part at 9:30 where he says, 'do what I say, not what I did'. No really, a great vid for newbs.:)

Some very helpful tips, most of which I was doing already, but it's always good to have ideas reinforced

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.

Hello from Saga, Japan.Thanks for this very useful tips on building your own designs. The hardest parts is actually having the pieces you need and in the same colors as well on all sides or just 2 sides. haha you just got a new subscriber.

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!
