I feel that, unless you intend to take pieces of your Lego city to a convention or some other activity, where you need to connect to other people’s Lego, I really think it’s a huge waste of money. I am retired and built a Lego City as a retirement project. I don’t hunt, fish, hike, bike, snowmobile, 4 wheel, etc. , but I did love putting Lego together with my youngest son. So it’s a bit of nostalgia, but also a whole lot of fun. I’ve been building for 7 years now and I have all of the Modular’s, plus even more MOC’s. I have 3 trains, a harbour with many boats, a residential area and a large Medieval Castle MOC and a village, plus several shelving units with many other Lego creations. I noticed you mentioned that a lot of your Modulars are not on Mils plates, I’m sure that would be a huge pain to accomplish, I certainly wouldn’t want to do it.😛 The other thing that surprised me was using the 48x48’s for Mils?…. Not sure how they work in a city setting, where Modular’s, roads and sidewalks all exist?
Aaron that was awesome. I am definitely in the build and display category. For example, I have built the lighthouse, and I will move that from time to time for various reasons. Question….the lighthouse stands alone, If I MILS plate it is there a way to hide the sandwich bricks?
I think the best plan there would be to completely fill in that one side with bricks. That way you don’t see gaps. And if you match the baseplate, brick, and plate colors, it would just look like a monochrome brick and be very nice. Does that make sense?

I found this video very helpful - thanks a lot!
Such a helpful video for a beginner builder like I am. Learned a lot about MILS. Thank you.

I'm building the UCS Cantina right now and I'm looking forward to making my Mos Eisley based moc.
Oh no….. I feel a giant city build coming in my near future
Haha! Slippery slope!!

@@brickscavenger it sure does. Thank you!
@@brickscavengerI tried that method with light bluish grey and it does looks good with a moc
Awesome, Ben!@@ben_nerf_lego
How do you convert your buildings to a MIL structure?
