1/6 Scale Addams Family mansion in modulex (so that it's actually scale rather than the weird janky approximation you have to do with lego)

Kids and Lego?! What gave the producers this crazy idea? Lego is a serious design tool for adults. Everyone knows that. Next thing you know, they'll be trying to convince us that Modulex is not a toy.
Oregon folks will again be represented in the "Lego Masters" TV world:

I believe this is all the Lego.
Big blue and yellow are Lego Storage.
Small green on the blue stud are Modulex.
Both not system
The rest are all system and are all connected.
The white and green base are Duplo.
The yellow and dark blue are Quatro.
The black beam is Technic.
The rest is normal Lego.

レゴの系列で Modulex という規格がかつて存在したけど、この図は「今 新品が製造・販売されている物」に限ったので載せなかった。Modulex は五ミリメートルの立方体を単位とするので、ナノブロックプラスとナノブロックの間といった位置付けになる。

I think this company also makes 1:1 compatible bricks, but this is a 'Mini' set, so its bricks appear to be around 80% of the size of official LEGO
not sure how they compare with other systems; I don't have any Modulex or Nanoblock to compare to and no access to any Megabloks NANO I have

Bring back Modulex!

Bring back Modulex!
Yes to all of the above! I just need to refine pin and axle holes, really, and then I can get armour going. I'd also like to eventually fully recreate the Mctoran - they're too limited in colour right now.
I've tested glow in the dark once, but the end goal is to match every Lego colour (no modulex)

The did that in the 60s, it's called Modulex.

Yeah lol
It’s honestly really interesting to see tinier versions of something that we’re familiar with. I mean i remember when i found out that Lego made a smaller variant in the 60’s called Modulex, and was mainly made for business use.

In some lighter news, I started a knock-off Lego today that is about 3/4 the size of actual Lego. And they remind me of Modulex blBricks, a small offshoot of Lego started in 1963, built purposely for architecture students.
