Turning Trotting Lantern into a LEGO Modular Building!

[@garbotoxins840]

The muppets Statler and Waldorf would work great standing on that balcony area. Guys don't even need to see the show to diss it

[@hoglin7]

Agreed

[@jisef2270]

You're so good at modular buildings, I'd love to see your take on a city at some point if that's something you would ever consider?

[@TheThirdPrice]

This sounds like a fun series once the Minecraft world is wrapped up, making custom modulars?

[@CheeseyStudios]

Maybe! Once the Minecraft world is finished, I should have a tonnnnn of space which is very exciting to think about...

[@knowledgeabledude2971]

​@@CheeseyStudiosyou could make a modular building based off the collectable minifigures.

[@Ragingxplorer92]

@@CheeseyStudiosyou’re channel is just so much entertainment i would stare at my phone until you uploaded if you built a city haha

[@rumpyplus]

​@@CheeseyStudios Honestly the way you used the lantern set to make the building reminded me very much of that 3 in 1 (I think) pirate ship set they released a few years ago. Maybe a city of buildings made from not buildings could be a fun way to bring tons of character to quite an over saturated subject

[@lego.frenzy16]

Those opalescent windows might be the most gorgeous piece I've ever seen.

[@CheeseyStudios]

They're so cool! I was not expecting them to be both printed AND opalescent. So epic

[@alphonsesuitperson]

Love this, Only feedback is I would love to see this next to the family reunion modular you did, I had put the lantern into a hard pass as I didn't know how to utilize it, but now you have me rethinking things. Thanks

[@CheeseyStudios]

I'm tempted to rebuild the restaurant modular now. It would be fun to combine them!

[@The_Dinosaur_Heretic]

This build reminds me of the shadow puppet show my dad and I went to when we were in Vietnam

[@CheeseyStudios]

That sounds so cool! I'd love to experience something like that one day.

[@hoglin7]

3:50 I feel like the windows on the back would go great there, even though no one would probably see it lol

[@CheeseyStudios]

That's a good call. I've got plenty of extras, and that would look way nicer than a flat red wall!

[@hoglin7]

@@CheeseyStudios indeed!

[@TheNightshadePrince]

I love traditional architecture, I wish we had more beautiful buildings like this in real life.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Agreed. Everything is so boring nowadays

[@nethercreature1624]

I always forget how great your building is outside of minecraft. Don't get me wrong, minecraft lego is still real hard- I know it well XD- but it doesn't capture as much detail sometimes. After the minecraft series, maybe you could set your sites on something like a modular buildings series! If that's something you're interested in anyways, but I'm certain it would be well received ☺️

[@CheeseyStudios]

Really appreciate that! It's so nice to be able to build different things from time to time. Very excited to be able to work on some new projects later this year! Not entirely sure what I'll do next, but that's part of the fun :)

[@SandRedFan]

it's beautiful! I love the colors and the windows that give off the oriental atmosphere... It will be a new tradition to look forward to 🤣

[@CheeseyStudios]

I'm already looking forward to next year lol!

[@McCluckles38]

A really interesting concept, I'd be curious to see what other sets could inspire modular buildings!

[@CheeseyStudios]

Blacktron Modular next???????

[@McCluckles38]

@CheeseyStudios Dude, don't threaten me with a good time 😂

[@AntBandit]

this turned out so great! love the idea of taking a set and transforming it into something totally different

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you! I was on the fence for awhile on what to do with this set, but I'm glad I went this route instead of trying a regular old review. This was way more fun!

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Love this interpretation, it is almost like you could be part of a competition for Lego builders! ;) These are some of my favorite videos on the channel, the Mocs. I wish you could do a few more, but I can imagine designing and building these takes a lot of time.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Hopefully once the Minecraft world is done, I'll have more time for stuff like this. We shall see 🤞

[@EchelonNine]

I wish we could have gotten to see it next to last year's build, nonetheless this is an amazing execution of the concept!

[@CheeseyStudios]

Appreciate it! I'm kinda tempted to rebuild it, honestly. If I end up doing this every year, it would be quite fun to have a whole lineup of Spring Festival modulars!

[@JenniferKnight-n9n]

Would really love a modular/city building series. maybe not traditionally a city series, as you may not have space, but seeing you make more tradional lego buildings is very inspiring.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I would love to do more builds like this! If I can find the time, I might give it a go

[@xyoxus]

Looks really cool, especially like the idea for the interior with the lamps on the side and the stage lighting in the second floor.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you!

[@Cluis.]

You had me convinced buying the House last year and try an alternate Build but this year i don't believe i have enough in my Own Collection to try to add this years Into my collection.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Yeah, this one took a lot more pieces. It was probably half from the set, half from my collection.

[@kwong06]

The theatre was so smart!

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you! I'm really glad that idea popped into my head. It just makes sense!

[@willhennessy864]

Your mods are giving me great ideas for my own Modular city; since it's based on SF, I really do think I need a Chinatown in there somewhere, and these are some great places for inspiration. Thank you!

[@CheeseyStudios]

Love to hear that! Happy building :D

[@TrikBrix]

Fantastic build! I appreciate the fact that you always find a unique way to fulfill your LAN obligations. Top notch! 😎👍

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you! It's always so much more fun doing stuff like this than a review, anyway. Anything can be a modular if you believe in yourself 😂

[@brilliantbricks]

Looks amazing! The theatre is on point and goes so well with the rest of the buildings!

[@CheeseyStudios]

Really glad you like it - thank you!

[@SurvivorsQuest1]

I always enjoy seeing you free build! Great work!

[@CheeseyStudios]

Appreciate it!

[@thibaultwilmsen7246]

this looks great, the theater fits the vibe of the building very well

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you! ❤️

[@JacobHight-ku1zn]

Really enjoy your channel(especially reviewing legos from way back to now[I was born in 97 so I got see a lot of 2000s legos]) but watching these & the Minecraft ones has been really relaxing. Thank you!

[@CheeseyStudios]

It's my pleasure! So glad you're enjoying the videos. ❤️

[@KCGiD]

So cool. Love these kind of videos, where you take inspiration from an existing display set and create something believable enough to be part of a typical Lego city.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Glad you enjoyed this! Honestly, anything can be a modular building if you believe hard enough 🤣

[@ABrickDreamer]

Nicely done, very elegant these lunar new year sets have always so many good parts

[@CheeseyStudios]

Right? Love the colors especially

[@SentinelJakBricks]

This is so cool to see you do; I am very inspired to try this out myself now!

[@CheeseyStudios]

I'd definitely recommend giving it a go! I had a ton of fun with this build

[@DrNoppe]

Great idea and lovely execution. Love it

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you! Really appreciate it

[@nkende]

This build turned out fantastic, great job! It looks surprisingly great next to other modulars. I'm actually quite surprised there wasn't a theater modular yet, maybe one day.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I feel that could be really cool! We had the movie theater of course, but I'd love to see a proper stage. Could feature a band, a play performance, anything really. The lights and rigging could be really cool if done right

[@saramarie516]

❤❤❤ What a beautiful building! You truly do great work. Thanks for sharing!

[@CheeseyStudios]

My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed

[@Endercreeper621]

Cheesey!!! Your lego minecraft custom wither tutorial saved me! I purchased the wither's heads on Bricklink but could not find the two parts the smaller heads attach to. Because shipping to new zealand from other countries is crazy expensive, I then found your wither video and was relieved that it did not use those parts i couldn't find. Thanks!!!! Neat building by the way.

[@CheeseyStudios]

That's awesome! I'm so glad you found it useful ❤️

[@Hollow_Bat]

Wishing there were instructions for this, would you ever consider them for something like this?

[@CheeseyStudios]

I don't do instructions, sorry :(

[@MCLegoboy]

Very quaint, but still really beautiful and wonderfully executed.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Appreciate it! A 32x32 version of this would have been epic. Next year, next year...

[@beasts_beyond]

Love the way it turned out!

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you! This was such a fun build

[@hogarth1890]

That looks incredible! Nice rebuild!

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thanks so much!

[@MythicBricks]

This is so awesome, you should keep all these together so eventually you build out a little china town for a bigger modular city

[@CheeseyStudios]

I do need to rebuild last year's - I kinda regret parting it out now!

[@cwjonesII]

Wow, fantastic design. Inspirational. I wish I would have thought of that!

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you! I certainly don't mind if you take the idea.

[@mkalic7423]

That looks awesome! Could you turn the Trevi Fountain into one next? I know it's not Minifig scale, but it still works surprisingly well

[@CheeseyStudios]

Ooh, that would be very cool. If I manage to get that set, I'd love to give it a try!

[@bricksfordom]

Very fun video, I think that the final result turned out fantastic

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you! I'm already excited for next year's sets, ha!

[@littleaudity]

love this build! so clean and you can clearly see the inspiration points. love the representation of the tech balcony 😂 looking forward to seeing more builds like this 🩷

[@SuperMarvelPolls]

Hey, this might be a little off topic, but it might be worth checking your local Walmart clearance aisle for cheap Lego. My two local Walmarts had a lot on sale, most was stuff I either already had or was a theme I wasn’t interested in, but I was glad to snag a set I’ve been wanting. The Xmen jet was usually 90$ but I was able to get it for 20$. Dream come true.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Back when I lived in Wisconsin I got good deals all the time, but it's pretty rare in the town I live now sadly 😭

[@SuperMarvelPolls]

@ sorry about that lol, I love your content so much man

[@BrickHQ]

Great moc Awesome job

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you! ❤️

[@colinroberts958]

Wow that’s really nice looking building, would love to have that in my city lol, have you ever considered doing rebrickable instructions for builds like this? You’re a really talented builder!

[@CheeseyStudios]

That's really kind of you to say! Unfortunately I don't do instructions, but feel free to take the idea and make your own! I think you'll enjoy the creative adventure.

[@Logan-tinyplanetss]

[@M0torsagmannen]

[@CheeseyStudios]

[@rbleisem]

Needs a staircase to the second floor. Have you thought about fusing it with last year it's restaurant??? That way you can eat downstairs and see a play or movie, upstears. But replace those stage windows for a big screen, add in a projector and... Yes, a (movie) theater. Then maybe a backstage room for any more normal theater related stuff and.....

[@CheeseyStudios]

I definitely may have to rebuild the restaurant, especially if I do this again next year! I'll have a little city going in no time.

[@brickbybrick139]

Cool build! When cherry biome video is coming out? Can't wait to see it!

[@CheeseyStudios]

New episodes come out on the first of each month! :)

[@Esychyoff]

It would be cool if you’d start your own modular building customs city

[@CheeseyStudios]

If I ever have the room again, I'd love to one day!

[@JonTheGeek]

Putting all of these modulars together would make an awesome Chinatown in a lego city 🤔

[@CheeseyStudios]

[@CheeseyStudios]

Unfortunately I don't do instructions. :(

[@D3M-GEM]

I love your minecraft series, but a question, Does building minecraft builds so often get you burnt out or bored at all?

[@CheeseyStudios]

Definitely does happen - that's why I love getting to build different things like this!

[@Thekidfromcalifornia2.0]

I love a good mod conversion

[@CheeseyStudios]

It's always a fun challenge to take on - I'm glad I gave this set a go!

[@DaventriaBricks]

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thanks!

[@r-remm]

I would love to recreate this modular in my city. It's very beautiful. Are there any pieces you used that are not mentioned in the video?

[@CheeseyStudios]

There was a lot of pieces not included in the original set - probably around 50%. Most were common elements though - lots of plates and 1x bricks for the walls.

[@r-remm]

@CheeseyStudios 🫡

[@scottkrafft6830]

Do you have instructions for this and the previous one you made?

[@CheeseyStudios]

Unfortunately I do not :(

[@CheeseyStudios]

🫖🫖🫖 Good idea!

[@shirbler]

Do you have a lego city? or how do you display these, would be curious to see :)

[@CheeseyStudios]

What if you made a modular Minecraft building... Or even an In-lego-universe Minecraft Movie set

[@CheeseyStudios]

Like a modular building in Minecraft, or a Minecraft-themed modular building built out of LEGO? 🤔

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

The Chinese Lunar New Year and Spring Festival sets continue to impress. I keep buying them, even though I have absolutely no affinity with Chinese culture whatsoever. They're just magnificent sets.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I love them too. Vibrant colors, fun pieces, lots of printed elements.... So much great stuff!
