  Need a little help, I've got a 48x48 baseplate that I have just started to
fill with my 2x4 brick collection for a display I'm making. I've got
a load of Modulex 2x4 bricks I want to add to it but I know that Modulex and
standard Lego aren't really compatible. Anyone have any ideas how I could
connect the Modulex bricks to the baseplate so it looks okay, I guess I could
resort to finding a Modulex plate and gluing it on but I really don't want
to permanently stick anything together, prefer the power of clutch.

Thanks,
Stu

Nanoblok fits under so 2 studs under ends of your 2×4, then if not Kawada but
has tube as Legos* do, then fit to normal Lego hollow stud, such as 1×2 with
1 stud, found need 1 end 90° to other.

* More than 1 type of Lego.

  I don't it is another system, but is there any method to stick a module piece
onto regular system?

Yes, 2×3 fits under x×2 normal at end if hasn't ribs, so = older or plate.
1×3's also fit 1×2's with no pillars.

  Hi,

I have a pretty large amount of various Modulex bricks (LEGO) and tiles - 1x1,
1x2, 1x3 and 1x4 - mainly in MX Buff (tan) and Mx Teal Blue colors (also white,
grey and black).

For instance more than 1000 MX Buff Modulex, Brick 1 x 4 (Lego on studs).

The condition of the parts is pretty good.

I wonder if anyone would find interest in this type of product (I mean the complete
lot with a low fair price)

Didier

You will need to list it as a custom lot and open your store.

  Thanks Maxx.

I was trying to find it in the catalogue and identify what it was used for but
couldn’t see it.

Perhaps it needs adding under Modulex but I wouldn’t know how to describe it
or if it came in different lengths.

Any info on its usage ?

Cheers.

1 x 4 x 8 clear window/panel/door.

1 x 12 black channel, same both sides and snaps onto baseplate.

This is from a sample kit.

Thanks.

I might have both, let me know if you want me to look for you

Very late to this but ....

It's the bottom part of a Modulex window frame. Search for 'Modulex window
frame' to see this and other parts to make the window including a matching
top part of the frame with studs, side parts and horizontal/vertical 'battens'
for detailing. Sets normally came with a perspex sheet and you have to cut and
glue (branded glue exists) everything to make custom window frames .... the horror!!

Cheers,
Darren

While I am focussing on still collecting several themes, I have decided to not
hold on to the Modulex collection. These where very fun to build with and collect,
but now it is time for a new owner...

I have uploaded 48749 pieces, divided over 459 lots. For many of these lots.
I am the only one currently that has that particular element/color combination
for sale, so some are very rare, and for the majority of the lots, I'm the
only seller outside of Europe. I'm holding on to a very few for myself, like
1 copy of each module minifig, and some 2 x 4's for my 2x4 collection. Even
if you're not a Modulex collector/builder, everyone should have a few of
these cute bricks......

I found an additional 20 or so lots that are not yet in the catalog (mainly decorated
tiles), I hope to get around to upload them, along with come corrections for
already listed items.

For each order that contains Modulex bricks, I'll throw in a few extra Modulex
pieces (after sorting all I found another cup or so, and time has run out on
this upload, so I'll give those away over time).

Paul

ps. If anyone is interested in the entire collection, I'll give a hefty discount
(more than 50%), and will throw in a few $100 in very nice storage containers.

  You're right! I was not aware that Modulex still exists. However, I knew
that Modulex had done building descriptions before, because I had found old product
catalogs.

I found a small lot of these numbered heaters in a Modulex collection some time
ago. Made of metal and wood (corpus) and painted in Mx Pastel Green (really the
same color).
I'm still wondering about the history behind...

a few years ago.

  The article on connecting to regular LEGO is interesting. I remember trying
to solve that problem when I built my Disneyland Fire Station. I wanted to use
some of the Modulex numbers on the front door, due to size. That was when I was
trying to be "purist". Now I would probably just make a custom sticker.
But I do want to use some of the Modulex pink that I have when I make the Castle,
as the shades are more varied giving a look that is closer to the shades on the
real Disneyland Castle.

Thanks for sharing!

I can hardly believe that Lego once made these perforated foils and adhesive
strips. There was a cutter and a comb to cut them and press them onto the boards.

These parts were made for architects and modelers. The size of the bricks is
to scale. This makes it possible to build in a certain scale.
It is also said that Godtfred Kirk Christiansen came up with the idea of the
bricks when he was planning a new production hall.

Modulex was also used for production and data center planning.
