I think I used to own a fair amount of Modulex.
Somehow it all got lost, aside from one or two mini-bricks in my box of bricks.

I dunno what happened to it.

No, there are no modulex minifigs at all.. there weren’t even Lego figs at the time, of course.

Not that I have any Modulex, I’ve never even seen it but I would like to get some, some day.

The builder of these miniature houses had to saw the plates by the way, because they only come in one size (actually sawing and gluing was encouraged by Modulex…) – so she explained on 1000Steine.de, where I recently saw these creations.

Holy cow. LEGO made miniature, uh, LEGO? I had no idea! I am very impressed with this tiny build, and fascinated that I’ve never before heard of Modulex. Did it have any kind of minifig-equivalent? Architects seem like they might have wanted to use some kind of human stand-in for scale in their Modulex models. Maybe.

This really is quite an accomplishment. It would be nice if there were larger images, or a shot of the regular set next to it for scale.

Of course, this is just increasing the PANG OF LONGING to get my grubby little hands on some Modulex: I’d happily sell my grandmother right now for a small bag of the stuff!

Is this how it feels to be a crak addict? o_O
