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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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!
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 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.
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.
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!!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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
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
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!
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?
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.
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.
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 ^^
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.
Amazing progress as always. For the wheat field why do you stick to a rectangular shape? With your building technique and the area it's in, wouldn't it be better to have it in a more organic shape?
I agree. Have it follow the contour of the stream, like the seeds were planted right up to the bank. I saw someone else mention making a section that's currently being cut and that's a great idea to keep it from being too same-y.
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.
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!
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
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!
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..
Massive progress and amazing work! One thing I did notice was that the "after" picture at the end if the video didnt include the track switch changes, but man is your work ever impressive!!
I'm glad I stumbled on this video it's awesome! Looks like the shop vac works pretty well but I've heard they have handheld vaccums for legos, might not have the capacity for that big of a spill though lol.
your videos are always worth the wait! you are probably the only youtube channel I watch every single video for and i dont even need to have notifications on
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?
Some places do haunted Corn Mazes for halloween which could be a fun way to add life and color to the field as well as extend it with less of the just corn stalks. It could be a good way to use halloween style legos too.
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. 👏
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?
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
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.

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

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.
Either that or jumper plates. Done.
@@fredrik_nl… beat me to it … yeah, jumper plates work great to change angles! … even jumper plates in combination with flat tiles 🤷🏻♂️

Had the same exact idea!
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 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.
Or kids playing in a lego haystack!
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.
can also add grass around it and would look more natural since cows move to large grass since its what they eat
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.
Another illegal building technique is to just 3d print a piece that fixes your problem.

His city is modular, though. When he moves to another location, he can dismantle it within a few steps.
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.
Loved everything about this update. Maybe some hey bales for the wheat fields that way it breaks it up a little? Or a section that’s being cut down?
Or a crop circle, a maze, etc.
@@vincentpelletier57 A flying saucer making a crop circle would be quite funny
We need a full tour of this whole thing. This build is absolutely stunning and is possibly the best ive seen.

Exactly right. This build is a mile ahead of the competition.
It truly is a joy to see your city taking shape. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
I just love our village & countryside - it makes my heart warmer. very lovely. Thank you. Thank you.
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!
Wouldnt be nice to build different type of field next to the wheat one? sunflower, rapeseed, lavender or poppy field? :)
Oh god, i was checking youtube multiple times a day waiting for your video! Its finally here, thanks!
Looks so so good! Super inspiring and I always look forward to seeing the update videos.
I am obsessed with your city. All the little details and techniques make everything "look more interesting"! Keep it up!
This is amazing! Completely fantastic update!
Jaw droppingly incredible. You're s legend. It has been so much fun watching this city grow.
Great video! Love the world you created. Can’t wait to keep following the channel
Niiice , you should build a giant hill and put a big tree / cabin on top of it. Love from Louisiana.!!!

Gosh that little bridge is gorgeous, never seen such a detailed small model!
Just recently found your channel and I'm in awe with your city. It's just marvelous
my good sir ... building that cute bridge ... even with '' illegal'' techs .. it is still built by heart so how can i not love it?

As always, Amazing!! The train just travels to fast for me, would be cool to see it travel abit slower and snake through the different regions.
That bridge and fence are fascinating. You trully know how to place the brick. Now all we need is a barn.
I think the bridge being a part of the fences is a little bit weird at 3:26
I agree, maybe it would be better if the sheep enclosure is a bit smaller and the path goes along the river from the bridge to the house
