Mykonos Modular MOC

[u/StrangeLego]

Sometimes inspiration strikes, this took me about 3 weeks with a few bricklink orders for the older shutter styled windows. Seeing the last picture in a Google search, I wanted the challenge of recreating the angular semi round features of the buildings and stairways. Overall I am happy with the results.

[u/Lazy_Consequence8838]

Gorgeous, and I appreciate all those cats!

[u/StrangeLego → u/Lazy_Consequence8838]

I knew they were required, some day we will go and see them in person.

[u/ShaiHulud1111 → u/StrangeLego]

When I was there—circa 2000, my cat loving gf and I couldn’t enjoy an evening stroll without her trying to help a stay or feral cat or kittens. We had two cats at home. I fed one at a patio restaurant by the windmills. But they are chill and just part of the life there. No cat distribution system…they are for the streets. Lol

[u/Slh1973 → u/StrangeLego]

There are so many cats there I loved it!

[u/Greyboxforest → u/StrangeLego]

I’m in Greece right now and there are cats everywhere.

I have to stop every 5m to wait for my kids who are patting them.

And as a Greek myself I’m very proud of your MOC.

[u/MapleMapleHockeyStk → u/StrangeLego]

❤️😻

[u/Roblox_qwertz → u/Lazy_Consequence8838]

Yes, the cats... Especially the blue "cat" (image 4).

[u/CourtingBoredom → u/Roblox_qwertz]

The bestest of the cats [-=

[u/Capybarely → u/Lazy_Consequence8838]

I was going to say that it needs more cats, but then I scrolled some more, and I think they've gotten just the right number!

[u/armadilloantics → u/Lazy_Consequence8838]

Yes all the cats really sell it!

[u/kinygos → u/Lazy_Consequence8838]

Came here to say exactly this. It is gorgeous.

[u/Pluto-610]

Stunning but it lacks of drunk tourists

[u/StrangeLego → u/Pluto-610]

The guy proposing had a few before pulling out the ring.

[u/MSPCincorporated → u/StrangeLego]

Look at him, casually bending over backwards for his girl!

[u/Pluto-610 → u/StrangeLego]

The only logical reason for a foolish decision

[u/thespickler → u/Pluto-610]

That's easily fixable

[u/sumeriandisputations → u/Pluto-610]

and the gay men Mykonos is world famous for

[u/Unlikely-Bluebird-52]

Fucking spectacular mate!

[u/zephyrtr]

And you will go to Mykonos

With a vision of a gentle coast

And a sun to maybe dissipate

Shadows of the mess you made

[u/DankMeemPotato → u/zephyrtr]

Fleet foxes mykonos if anyone was wondering the song it's rly good

[u/Legomaniac316]

Reminds me of the one Overwatch map. Id love to see some of those Minifigs in here

[u/joost18JK → u/Legomaniac316]

Time to add a bottomless pit somewhere!

[u/Creepy_Advice2883 → u/joost18JK]

Boop

[u/REKLA5 → u/Creepy_Advice2883]

RIP Sombra.

[u/monkeyhitman → u/joost18JK]

Watch this sick ult

sends D.Va ult into pit

[u/ImHereCuzTheyWrong → u/Legomaniac316]

Now entering Ilios

[u/Vidiot79 → u/Legomaniac316]

I’m personally reminded of Sonic Unleashed

[u/iIiiiiIlIillliIilliI → u/Legomaniac316]

Helios map, yep

[u/invalidcolour]

I like the little lizard/dinosaur!

[u/StrangeLego → u/invalidcolour]

Gotta have that one fun thing for the kids.

[u/Gustein]

Super cool! Do you have the parts list / instructions available?

[u/StrangeLego → u/Gustein]

Sorry I just build and don't keep track for instructions. ☹️

[u/Gustein → u/StrangeLego]

That's really cool too. It's a great inspiration!

[u/jayroc1023]

This is lovely! I would buy this is in a heartbeat!

[u/Dawich77]

Love it, well done.

[u/_Toy-Soldier_]

Gotta add this for Peter the Pelican! He was a legend on the island when I visited over 10 years ago

Edit: Petros the Pelican

[u/BlindObject]

"Now arriving in Ilios"

[u/ShadowDonut → u/BlindObject]

Boop!

[u/Scotty1928]

Those stairs... i love it!

[u/Awkward_War_6068]

Lacks Petros the Pelican

[u/die-jarjar-die]

Looks like a set for Mamma Mia!

[u/dbren073]

The detail of the exterior floors is sooo good. Very nice and accurate. Needs more cats 😺

[u/StrangeLego → u/dbren073]

I pulled out all the cats I had!

[u/Endulos]

This gives me major Chrono Cross vibes (Termina town)

Nice job.

[u/Subject-Proposal-903]

The minifig proposing on his hips is sending me

[u/Slh1973]

I’m willing to throw my wallet at this

[u/Stitch164]

This made me realize that Fletz in Legend of Dragoon may be Greek inspired because this Lego reminded me of the tavern there (top right building).

[u/VitriolBaiter9000 → u/Stitch164]

seeing a legend of dragoon post outside of the specific subreddit is like finding a unicorn and bigfoot at the same time

your culture astounds me, well done

[u/Stitch164 → u/VitriolBaiter9000]

Thank you friend! And always remember

[u/Finite_Universe → u/Stitch164]

Glad I’m not the only one that immediately thought of Legend of Dragoon.

[u/Gofflemannen]

It's fantastic! That guy is really bending over backwards for his woman.

[u/Kaknuckleball]

Wow. That really is incredible. It gives me hope that there are still such wonderfully talented and imaginative people. Well done you!

[u/Meesayousa]

The plumes for door handles! AMAZING! I might borrow that idea in the future! 😁

[u/StrangeLego → u/Meesayousa]

I wanted contrast without a traditional stud/tile look. The plumes were leftovers from a floral project I had laying out and they worked great.

[u/Meesayousa → u/StrangeLego]

Great parts usage! 👍 Just too bad they're so rare and expensive in black and bluish gray 🙄 They would have been awesome to use as door handles on my hot rod MOCs 😁

[u/AtlasandSalt]

Beautiful! 🤩

[u/Ummmmm805]

Beautiful 

[u/Zappidos]

What piece is used for those large shutters in the bottom right?

[u/StrangeLego → u/Zappidos]

Part number 791 is a shutter door 1x3x5. It fits an older window frame 3761 used in 80s space command sets.

[u/Zappidos → u/StrangeLego]

Cool I almost thought it was Duplo or Fabuland. Had to look twice after noticing it was bigger than the 4 stud version

[u/LEGOIdBot → u/StrangeLego]

3761-1: Anniversary Tub [Photo]

[u/DisastrousStrength34]

Love this!

[u/Appropriate-Style294]

Beautiful! Gets me in the holiday mood 👌

[u/AdBackground927]

C’est superbe!

[u/Vardagshjalten]

What an incredibly cozy build, well done!

[u/Voetje87]

Wauw really nice!

[u/Kefiristan]

Dope build

[u/cadaverdogs]

I’d buy this and I don’t even have any modular sets!

[u/Turbulent-Novel-1472]

Beautiful

[u/mr_oberts]

Where’s the abused donkeys?! Only kind of /s.

[u/Aegis_1984 → u/mr_oberts]

Santorini is where the donkeys are abused. Mykonos is much lower to sea level, and is famous for windmills and being a party island. OP has done a fantastic job capturing the vibe, however. Kudos to them!

[u/mr_oberts → u/Aegis_1984]

Oh shit you’re right. My Greek island tour was kind of a blur.

[u/No_Injury_1833]

This is phenomenal!

[u/No_Injury_1833 → u/No_Injury_1833]

Wait, also- what was first place? Cause if yours is this good, that must have been cool too.

[u/StrangeLego → u/No_Injury_1833]

I honestly don't know, I confess I was pretty self absorbed when I saw the Best in Show. Lol

[u/No_Injury_1833 → u/StrangeLego]

Oh! I see it now. I noticed the red ribbon that must be on the set above yours and missed the giant Best in Show next to it. Congrats!

[u/scholly73]

This might sound weird but this kinda reminds me of the Gerudo area in BOTW and makes me want to build a section of it lol. It’s super cool! You did an amazing job

[u/IchStrickeGerne]

This is amazing! I am so interested in doing MOCs but I have such little creativity that I don’t even know how to get started!

[u/StrangeLego → u/IchStrickeGerne]

Gotta start somewhere... keep it small and grow. I find my inspiration and then go and see other AFOLs builds for the little things I want to incorporate. It gets messy and taken apart (alot, really) before I get the look and stability right.

[u/jschne21]

Reminds me of this Greek guy I once met at a weird sales presentation for some paper company in Pennsylvania

[u/trunolimit]

Ma Ma Mia!

[u/NerdWithAMotorcycle]

Legonos

[u/Happysin]

I proposed to my wife on Santorini, and you best believe Mykonos was on that trip. This really encapsulates the feeling of where we stayed.

[u/Laikanur]

is there an interior?

[u/SnailGamer]

This is all Greek to me…

[u/Love_Daisy_7288]

I’m, am I crazy or is there a dinosaur on the 2nd floor? 😊

[u/Radiantcuriosity]

Love the cobble stone floors

[u/JamesD-TV]

Publish it so we can get a successor to the Italian Riviera and I can get an Ideas of the Mamma Mia set

[u/InnerEarthDweller]

Seeing the shutters sent me back to the 80s playing with my brothers space legos! So cool and I love all the cats

[u/Monscawiz]

Santorini is a good game

[u/kalb_jayyid]

[u/Shy_Wet_Hole]

Reminds me of that overwatch map

[u/watertowerfrenzy]

It's perfect!

[u/MC-Lorgar]

Not trying to be rude or anything, but your reference Pic is NOT from Mykonos. It's from Amorgos another greek island with similar house design (most small greek islands have white houses with blue windows and doors). Still, this is amazing and I will for sure buy it if it becomes a set.

[u/Invertedwhy]

definitely thought this was ilios from overwatch...

[u/StrangeLego → u/Invertedwhy]

My kids play that game, I'm surprised they never pointed that out.

[u/Invertedwhy → u/StrangeLego]

Thought it was a miniature of this area specifically. Very cool build!

[u/Basic-Mention4424]

Perfection!

[u/AlexFaxxx]

J’adore vous avec les instructions ? S’il vous plait ?

[u/elephenguin]

Part list?

[u/EntrepreneurMain7833]

this is sooo cute. I would buy this.

[u/Dramatic_Substance36]

I want to live in it!! This is fantastic!! Love it so much!

[u/iarejavi]

Beautiful!

[u/Neartheedge]

If R2D2 had a house....

[u/feryaz]

This isbso great would love to have it

[u/camperas]

You need to upload this to Lego Ideas!

[u/1337_level_over_9000]

Wow I love this!

[u/Millenis_]

This is geogous !! Do you plan on making more diverses one that can assemble one another ?

[u/disquieter]

Fantastic!

[u/ashduncan25]

Love!

[u/Thalia_All_Along]

that one area from pokemon oras

[u/d_e_a_th__]

incredible build!!!!!

[u/practiceguitar]

this is awesome

[u/sumeriandisputations]

Needs men kissing for true Mykonos energy

[u/the_ginger_mexican]

Mama Mia started playing in my head

[u/NeverBetAgainstElon]

Beautiful!

[u/Picon36]

This is absolutely gorgeous, well done!!

[u/awlong]

Looks amazing

[u/ZoidbergNick]

This is incredible and gorgeous. Incredibly gorgeous

[u/Entire-Project5871]

Instantly recognizable

[u/LokiDesigns]

I want it

[u/Time_Ad_9647]

Looks like Picard house in the Inner Light.

“don’t forget your shoes”

[u/GeneDiligent2124]

This is so pretty! 

[u/officialsanic]

Khambimbi forgket Ntoumbai, come to Mikonos

[u/Financial_Surprise34]

It's the building from Jepstein island

[u/OMFGItsVico]

This is breathtakingly good.

[u/LineImpossible3958]

Gorgeous work! I would buy this set in a second

[u/idkboo]

This is amazing! It reminds me of Mykonos and my favourite part of the island was all the cats! You captured it perfectly

[u/JMthought]

Absolutely amazing. I wish it was official :)

[u/DShepard]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what does modular mean in this context?

[u/Uberzwerg]

Love the mix of old-school with the modern curved bricks.

[u/Project_Wild]

This is quite marvelous. Well done!

[u/SneakAttack1313]

🐈 🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛

[u/D15P4TCH]

Beautiful. It's a little too much blue-and-white for me (even though I know it's supposed to be completely blue and white 🤣)

[u/Desh282]

That looks incredible

[u/Georgethetuxedocat]

Amazing!!! I love this so much

[u/handtoglandwombat]

I want to see some of the overwatch sets in this

[u/fartybutthole]

R2D2 birthplace

[u/Hansolo506]

I wish the individual models weren’t so expensive because I would love to get like six or seven of them and build an entire village on the side of the hill

[u/Tapps74]

Looks like R2D2’s gaff - loving your work

[u/RandomFandom1073]

How does one acquire the right number of specific bricks to create an MOC of their own? Sigh. Anyway, very impressive build bro.

[u/Jim_theflagexpert]

this is great!!

[u/iIiiiiIlIillliIilliI]

That's gorgeous

[u/bdave3385]

This is sick!

[u/Elviajerodelmundo]

So amazing!!

[u/EquivalentPain5261]

This is gorgeous

[u/Brilliant-Tailor-652]

So many cats, this is such a cute build

[u/TXMom2Two]

Oh! This is beautiful!

[u/Fun-Evening2349]

I love getting sets from places I have visited. I NEED a set from Greece. I would buy this set day one. 

[u/Public_Scientist_573]

Only one criticism: not enough cats 🐈 🐈‍⬛

[u/Raxlus]

This would easily make it to the review phase on IDEAS.

Would definitely buy this.

[u/Desperate-Will-3551]

Doesn’t have enough tourists waiting in line to take pictures

[u/KamenoChartoni]

If this lego set didnt cost 52738929494$$$ it does not mimic Mykonos.

[u/ejc1138]

Needs more cats.

[u/Raoul-Dukee]

The flowers further enhance the beauty of the house.

[u/gev1138]

Looks amazing!

Tiny quibble: would need a bit of massaging to fit in with most of the official modulars. Regardless: would be juuuust fine all by itself in a layout.

[u/joser31415]

Nice!🔥🤩

[u/regboy5101]

Was just in Greece and this makes me want to go back!!

[u/StrictlyHobby]

Well fit perfectly with the recent Greek restaurant gwp.

[u/BABARRvindieu]

It's time for FF8 balamb MOC !

[u/Bass1ine]

Meccha chameleon

[u/gustydeer]

Is this mamma mia

[u/MaxHamburgerrestaur]

If you put some satellite dishes and make the blue parts trans blue, you turn it into a Futuron base.

[u/SalamiLove]

Very cool!

[u/icbint]

Truly phenomenal

[u/c1ipbot]

The rounded corners are so beautiful

[u/BeginningSea3186]

yeah this is really awesome, thanks for sharing

[u/Fyrefrog25]

There's a LEGO competition at the NM State Fair?

[u/StrangeLego → u/Fyrefrog25]

Yep, select Participate on the NM State Fair website and then select the Competitions section. It's in the Creative Arts section.

[u/Fyrefrog25 → u/StrangeLego]

Aww, they're not doing it at the Southern NM State Fair. Not that I could enter, but it'd be cool to go see.

Well, congrats on your win. It is a beautiful design that really nails the aesthetic.

[u/SomeGrapefruit2435]

Haha! That raptor there is really cool

[u/Noahthebossiscool]

[u/-_-0_0-_0 → u/Noahthebossiscool]
