For your cows: Have one of them grazing through the fence, as in it's head between the top and bottom cable, possibly stretching the cable. It will be very realistic, as that is what cows do, and they do it because they can, because they are cows.
From what I recall, cows almost always face the same way, away from the wind, so having them on grid might not be too bad. Also, you could add in an easter egg by having the airport wind vane face in the same direction as the cows.
Great! If you are extending the field more i think an old combine harvester and a tractor with a trailer doing work would fit there quite nicely. It would fit into the rural feel very well
Yeah. He mentioned doubling or tripling the field size and I immediately thought that would look kind of boring and you could have part of it cut down with a combine harvester in the middle and haybales lying around the cut down field.
That angled wood storage area that you place at 3:15 would also be a fantastic technique for building an information board / display like the kind you find in parks or zoo's telling people more information about the area or what's in front of them.
For your cow problem: use flat tiles under the cow, just enough to put it at an angle, not enough so it looks like an odd bare spot where it stands. It would achieve the desired angle, without the odd height and stud.
Wonderful update! I feel like it would look better with the scarecrow in a little clearing in the middle of the wheat field, especially once the field is bigger.
@@nimchimsky5125 Agreed! And if they have little single pc birds/ravens I think some of those should be place nearby, like on a fencepost or house roof
I feel like, if your wheat field becomes any larger, you might benefit from placing some minifigs trampling a path through the stalks of wheat to provide a little visual variety to the region.
If you want to position the cow freely, just attach one of those green single round studs onto its foot and have it pivoted on a -1 stud gradient of lower elevation. It will blend in as if it's a random grass clod.
Another option would be to use flat bricks where the studs would otherwise make it impossible to have the cow at an angle, and still only attach it on one foot. it will at least not be floating.
For a little scene, putting a harvester in the wheat field would look really cool. It could have already harvested some of the wheat and left the stalks and chaff for collection later! Awesome video again!! Love this channel!
One thing I noticed is that your city really lacks some smaller critters. I'd love to see some frogs, spiders and snakes luring in the grassy plains you've built!
I was just thinking about how much I was looking forward to an update last night! A great surprise for today. I love the new spacing on the new wheat field-- it looks much more organic.
Usually, I see scarecrows in the middle of fields, and also an axe instead of a chainsaw might be nice. As a gardener, it would be really cool to have a garden for the farm. Loved the update!
Whenever there's a long gap between updates you know a good video is coming, and this one is great. The difference in the wheat field is fantastic, the visual really pays off for the amount of effort you put in.
I was just thinking about his channel yesterday too!😅 Man this guy is soooo good! I don't like it when peoples "city" is just a bunch of buildings with no thought or emotion behind them, this is not a "city", this is a state! Keep up the work, and long wait time equals big update!
One of the nice things about this series being built in a studio which isn't planning to move is that you get to see lots of building techniques people building for conventions and transport simply can't do, like the chains on the bridge and smaller details held down by gravity alone. It's a great way to get a new perspective on designing for your own permanent workspace.
Are you gonna put up a Christmas tree with LEDs in the city? I think it would be awesome at the market, at the harbor. It could be a Christmas market for the holidays.
I can't get enough of this. I even accidentally found it in German...and I was excited..oh another UA-camr like one of my favourites...nope just him in German. Simply the best Lego builder on UA-cam right now.
Nice update! Maybe add a windturbine or solar panels to the rural area, the wind turbine could look pretty cool, since you can make it spin + add a few blinking signal lights that can be seen at night!
Would you ever consider doing a video of just long close-up shots of your city at different angles to showcase what parts of the city you've completed so far? Like with some calm music in the background just for viewers to take it all in. call it like 1 hour of lego city videos to relax and study to lol
Looks great as always!! The new weed field looks way more realistic. A lil idea: instead of tripling the field in size, you could maybe double it in size and add another smaller patch close by, a little bit deeper in the landscape. What I love about airial views of rural places is seeing the different colored squares (crops) dotted around the place, so adding a smaller patch close by may give that effect was my thinking. PS tnx for letting us hear the vacuming of those spilled pieces, very satisfying!!
This update was great. The field looks so much better where it is now. Are you going to add a fence round it? I also wondered about a couple of separate fields with different crops in it rather than one long one? However, you're the genius, so I'll like whatever you end up doing. Incredible work!
Path 3:22 it would be a great idea to add a small mud track between the two gates and maybe random ones for the the sheep. Grew up on various farms and between the livestock and us walking across fields there were always slightly sunken mud tracks across the fields. Plus gateways always had an arc of mud where animals would assemble before feeding time. And animals especially sheep always follow the same paths (habit!) Just would make it look much more realistic. But as always amazing work, using your river/foliage designs in my latest set mocs for stop motion animations
Such a sweet update. Do you plan to put something in the middle of a to-be-extended wheat field? Otherwise it can be a bit boring, no? Especially so close to the viewer. Maybe children/animals running through the field? Or having a picnic on the edge? Or a path going through the field, separating it in two?
I usually watch YT vids at 150% speed (non-music). Not yours. The combo of your voice and building techniques is actually soothing. Very organic as you said. 👏
Hello! So, for the cow problem you could adjust green riles into the ground, so that it can stand in any position 😅 hope this helped, if you've thought of it and it didn't work let me know in case I can help
Bridge looks really cool! I think I enjoyed this update a lot more than some of the city ones, it makes a nice change. Also I don’t know how hard this would be but maybe getting English captions on your brickman brothers channel. It’s probably quite hard to do quickly and cheaply but still I enjoy watching them either way!
There were some really satisfying additions in this video. It's crazy what a little elevation can do for the variety of a scene. I love the stone bridge over the creek, I always try to build stuff like that in Minecraft. The illegal techniques really make it look great.
If you haven't noticed it yourself by now, you missed a 1x1 round when vacuuming - it's upside down, about 7-8 leaves downstream from the corner of the building :) Can be seen to the right, at the 5:12 mark. As for the cows; jumper plates and tiles, covered up by small amounts of vegetation, so as to not draw too much attention. Otherwise; great update as always! Cheers from Denmark ^^
First time viewer of your channel! Cannot tell you how satisfying it is just as a watcher to see a plain green plate turn into a lush plot, I can only imagine how satisfying (and frustrating haha) it must be to have a long running project like this!
Great video and love the wheat field but I have to ask how you handle the dust? Whenever I try to build mocs or larger builds, after a few days dust starts to get in all of the cracks and crevasses and is a nightmare to clean.
For any future spills (though hopefully there are none) a sock over the end of the vacuum secured using an elastic is a great way to deal with this without the hassle of a full clean on the vacuum. It allows you to pick up small clumps and then directly deposit them into your containers.
The pastures, woods, and farmland looks like a paradise! I love all the details and it's nice to see some more plants and animals being placed front and center. I hope there will be more
I like the wheat field upgrade but think the frame needs a combine harvester tractor, a Lego border collie (sheep dog) a barn for the tractor and other farm machinery
It looks awesome! Also, I think a minifig sat under a tree, just strumming a guitar or reading a book, with a cat just sitting by would be a nice little addition
That's abosultely beautiful. As a child I always wanted to build a huge build like this but never had the bricks or the space. My favorite part is the elevation you added at the start, it looks so natural and nice. The train is a very close second favorite.
For the cows, put one of those 2000 green 1x1 on the cows back foot so its slightly raised above and you can put them at any angle you want. Once you found the angle you want put a couple of flower stems in front of the cow for them to graze on and hide the fact that all fours arent touching the base :)
Looking better each time! Been waiting for this update haha The only thing I'd suggest tho, is not connecting the bridge to the sheep pasture. I think it would look better if the pasture only had the one gate, and that path to city continued on right next to the pasture and over to the house. Would be kinda weird to cut through a sheep pasture in order to get to and from the city, I think..
for the cow problem - you could set a turntable piece with a 6x2 green plate on top of it and angle it across some studless green plates so the cow is facing the direction you want
Great video! I have one suggestion: you change the design of the cobblestone bridge. Perhaps incorporate the rounded plates on the top if possible? It looks a little funky with how the chain sits on top, this could help smooth the shape out!
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I have to say your ideas just keep getting better, hands down one of the best LEGO cities on UA-cam.
The rural areas look great! I love seeing how his building techniques improve. For the pasture, I think those cables would make really nice wattle fences, and that that could give the pasture a really nice organic feel?
Amazing update! I live on a farm and lots of rural areas weave these long sticks between the support posts, maybe for the sheep fence adding one more post so there are two posts on opposite sides of the long thin peices keeping it under a slight tension may be cool. between the connecting posts!
I think to solve the problem with the cow it is better to try to change the landscape itself. Or make part of it with a rotation, or use, for example, a 2x2 piece that can rotate (in Lego they are usually used for rotating chairs and antennas, I’m not sure what to call it correctly). put a green plate on it and turn it and voila - the cow is not turned at 90 degrees. I will also say that it is very cool to see the city revived by animals, this was sorely missed. I don’t think it’s worth stopping and limiting yourself to the village. Add butterflies, rats, cats, maybe stray dogs, a cobweb somewhere under a bridge, etc. to the main city.
I think it would be really neat to have the further wheat field also on a bit of a hill! To give it more dimension, but also I just really love when fields are on hills in real life, they look really cool.
I binged all your videos the last few days now, it's quite addictive to see the progress and very inspiring! As an ex train driver though I have a couple of ideas, mainly from a safety perspective really. First off, the level crossing where the railway crosses the main road out of town could definitely do with some booms for safety, maybe they could be automated too! Secondly I'm thinking that the minifigures need a way to safely get from the main part of the rural village to the watermill/farmland. Since there's an underground walkway in town maybe some kind of walkway on a bridge could work? Then of course if it's one thing that makes train drivers nervous it's railroads in populated areas without any fences around it but I understand that it might be complicated to achieve and still look good, no good idea how to solve this... It's lucky only minifig lives are at stake after all! One last thing, instead of the stopper at the end of the railroad in town maybe a small depot building would be cool, for maintenance of locomotives and carriages? Anyway, just nitpicking since I've been brainwashed with railroad safety. I really love what you're doing overall!
Could add some barrels where the old wheat field was :) And we can understand the waiting time between episodes, please do not worry! You are working really hard on this, well done
I heard from the lego citizens that they have founded a football club and agreed on building a huge stadium with its own train station. When will that be ready? 😊
The stone path and farm fence with the bridge looks really really good, it’s all proportionate and super effective. Really well done you must be happy with it.
I would love to see more underground sections around elevated areas that let us see into life under the city. Maybe a cave along the cliffs by the harbor or an underground night club, maybe a sewer. That's always been one of my favorite parts of MOCs
I love that fence! If you don't like four bars, I wonder what three look like. I bet those sheep could escape, wait, do you think it would be funny to have some sheep in the process of escaping? I think it would add a little bit of a storyline for the sheep.
Maybe the cow problem is not a problem. Cows often walk in paralel lines when grazing, almost like a kind of military formation, so it would be perfectly realistic to just put them right next to each other facing the same way. They're herd animals so they don't just scatter randomly.
You can put a sock over the end of your vacuum hose and that will catch anything you are trying to pick up, then you can tap it on the edge of a container and they will fall out. Saves having to clean out the shop vac :)
Solution for the cow predicament, perhaps instead of having all of them free roam, perhaps some of them are lined up next to each other at a water trough? Or lined up at a fence getting milked.
Idea for the 90 degree cow; 1x1 green stud under one leg, turn the cow in whatever angle you want and use 1x1 flat tiles under the other legs so it doesn't "float".

The wheat field upgrade was a brilliant move. The old one never looked right to me. Looks far more natural now.
Only thing missing is a crop circle. 🙂
Could go a little bit more illegal and flex the loose limb elements or pull them slightly off of the baseplate stud.
I can't believe how much of an improvement it is!
He should add water pond for the sheep
Consider building a combine for the wheat field?
For your cows: Have one of them grazing through the fence, as in it's head between the top and bottom cable, possibly stretching the cable. It will be very realistic, as that is what cows do, and they do it because they can, because they are cows.
agreed. If one of the cows isn't actively making your life harder, do you even keep cows? 😆
I think this is one of the best Lego series out right now
If not the best
yea but the only way I could see that happening was to make a video about the situation
It’s the only one I care about
It is
100% the best
From what I recall, cows almost always face the same way, away from the wind, so having them on grid might not be too bad. Also, you could add in an easter egg by having the airport wind vane face in the same direction as the cows.
actually the magnetic north or south direction rather than the wind, at least what the first search result told me.
Are you telling me cows are compasses?
yeah turns out many animals can sense magnetic fields@@eroticgiraffe3297

putting green studs on the bottom of the cows feet might work. Like offsetting them on the feet like back left foot and front right or vice versa

Or a crop circle, a maze, etc.

I am obsessed with your city. All the little details and techniques make everything "look more interesting"! Keep it up!

Wouldnt be nice to build different type of field next to the wheat one? sunflower, rapeseed, lavender or poppy field? :)

If you make the field even bigger, get a harvest scene into it with a tractor. Maybe a crop circle to add a bit of mystery? More story telling!
Jaw droppingly incredible. You're s legend. It has been so much fun watching this city grow.
that wheat field is legendary. i could never have the patience you and your brother have. keep up the good work!
Could add some barrels where the old wheat field was :) And we can understand the waiting time between episodes, please do not worry! You are working really hard on this, well done
Love it... I would honestly consider adding some chickens as well especially with the cows and one just standing at the top of the bridge.
I heard from the lego citizens that they have founded a football club and agreed on building a huge stadium with its own train station. When will that be ready? 😊
The stone path and farm fence with the bridge looks really really good, it’s all proportionate and super effective. Really well done you must be happy with it.
I would love to see more underground sections around elevated areas that let us see into life under the city. Maybe a cave along the cliffs by the harbor or an underground night club, maybe a sewer. That's always been one of my favorite parts of MOCs
I love that fence! If you don't like four bars, I wonder what three look like. I bet those sheep could escape, wait, do you think it would be funny to have some sheep in the process of escaping? I think it would add a little bit of a storyline for the sheep.
Maybe the cow problem is not a problem. Cows often walk in paralel lines when grazing, almost like a kind of military formation, so it would be perfectly realistic to just put them right next to each other facing the same way. They're herd animals so they don't just scatter randomly.
You can put a sock over the end of your vacuum hose and that will catch anything you are trying to pick up, then you can tap it on the edge of a container and they will fall out. Saves having to clean out the shop vac :)
The stone bridge came out sooo good!
Also, the sheep are my favourite lego animals!
Keep up the amazing work!
Solution for the cow predicament, perhaps instead of having all of them free roam, perhaps some of them are lined up next to each other at a water trough? Or lined up at a fence getting milked.
jeez what a beautiful corner of the city and a great update! take all the time you need, it's worth it!
Oh god, i was checking youtube multiple times a day waiting for your video! Its finally here, thanks!
Idea for the 90 degree cow; 1x1 green stud under one leg, turn the cow in whatever angle you want and use 1x1 flat tiles under the other legs so it doesn't "float".
