  • In this LEGO city update, I continue working on the roads, train tracks, and boardwalk. That includes the construction of over 33 MILS Plates! To build all those I had to order a ton of pieces... and I ran out of other pieces LOL. Slowly but surely we are getting there and I cannot wait to get the base construction of the LEGO city done!

    To eliminate the flex track, have the train go through the front down town segment so it's a straight shot to the train yard. It would allow more space for the board walk as well (since it's a bit unrealistic having it go in front of the water front unless you plan to build a station there)

    It could be really cool to add a roundabout in the city, it would add some more visual interest to the roads.

  • @thatKONNORguy

    The board walk is looking good, although you might could ditch the gard rail on the grass side and pits some benches and trash cans. It would save pieces and make a little more sense.

  • @johnvocatura1019
    @johnvocatura1019 18 днів тому +3

    Every time you show your beach and lighthouse I get upset that you are breaking apart the connection between the fishing store and lighthouse. That space between them looks awesome. What if you just slide that back where you originally had it without the baseplate and gradually build the beach up to it on each side. It would make the coast more dynamic and save you a bunch of water work as well as free up space behind the beach.

    Hi Bricksie.
    The City is taking shape beautifully, and I really love the way things are being planned so carefully. It's a HUGE accomplishment to get all the tiniest detais exacty right, but you are really getting this right!
    I was wondering if the lighthouse could fit on the corner where the train yard is, but I'm not sure what your plan is, ad whether the sea will go right along?
    Magnificent progress so far!

  • @89jersy
    @89jersy 18 днів тому +5

    Bricksie, you're overthinking the railroad crossing. Unless it's not common in Canada you can literally just build a sidewalk crossing the tracks to the boardwalk. That type of thing is common throughout the US. You can even build a crossing point if you really want to but don't overthink it. Keep it simple dude.

  • @tamerasyniec6621

  • @hunterjones5537
    @hunterjones5537 18 днів тому +6

    Could you make the boardwalk walls all the same and eliminate the rounded arch walls? It looks like you switch to the other wall design a third of the way through. I love the update though and looking forward to how this city is coming together.

  • @BloodShotAirbrushing
    @BloodShotAirbrushing 18 днів тому +2

    Here is a thought for your beautiful boardwalk.. how about possibly ending the boardwalk a bit earlier and having a nice little shoreline in the corner. Some trees and vegetation could look cool, and it might break up the repetition of the greay and add some interesting areas for stories and pops of color... 😊
    Just some simple thoughts from a simple man! Looking great broski!! 👍
    Much Love from the BloodShot Studio!! ❤️‍🔥

  • @leonheart27adamwright67

    Just a suggestion, but you could place a train station (possibly the new one from Bricklink) outside of the zoo between the road and train track if you need something to fill that gap. Again, just a suggestion.

    Idea for your boardwalk. Take off the railing against the grass and build steps up or have the grass slope up. Then you can use the arches along more of the front and have a nice open area to transition onto the grass.

  • @jacksonstarky8288
    @jacksonstarky8288 16 днів тому

    The roads are really looking awesome now. So much more consistency achieved than you had when you were just getting the city on the tables. Yes, it's a process. But so is a real city. Nothing is ever "complete"... and the sidewalk at the bend of the railroad track has all kinds of possibilities. But I'm typing this as you go through your stack of new MILS road plates, so there's still lots of progress to see. Hopefully you get restocked on the 2x4 dark gray tiles and light gray inverted slopes soon. 🙂

    Really exciting to see all the track and boardwalk get placed down. You may have looked at it already for the rail yard, model railway layouts can help with giving you some ideas.
    For the base plate alignment on the edge, have you considered creating a brick guide that overhangs the MILs plates and sits off the edge of the table? This would allow you to push the MILs tight against the table top and then can square it off. Could do it on the corners as well to get that alignment as close as possible.

    You should place the octan gas station at a different place, like close to the amusement park or on a road at the country side. Now the only two gas stations are just one street apart. It is nicer to have one somewhere completely different (and one not in the city)

    For the train tracks, third party tracks like TrixBrix offer switches and other specialized parts (ex. ballast plates) that might make the alignment work better. Lego switch tracks have a weird alignment while third party switches make parallel or 90 degree switching easier. There are even custom switches designed for rail yards.

    The road alignment near the bend in the train track and the access hole (see around 20:10 and other times) should be an easy fix; it looks like the plan is for a pair of "T" intersections, one going each way. I hope Josee is feeling better soon.

    i think it would be good to look back to the video from expo things you liked and said you would like to try doing. it looks great now but seems to be thrown together , railway would be good from central station thru one hlf of city and border rural inner on one side with crossing. 2 mountains with bridge before you go too far too , canal straight thru from stair o door with bridges , ,
    hard job but getting landscapes and builing from them first like we do in real project

    Greetings from Australia...an idea might be to remove the fire station and university from the waterfront and put in another hotel or restaurant. Waterfront areas are usually tourist, holiday and entertainment areas. Also, as suggested in other comments from other videos, move the university to its own area where you can add more buildings a park area and a sports field.

    Don't worry about flex tracking minor discrepancies...
    THE single biggest characteristic of using any modular sytem is that eventually you'll need exceptions somewhere! The more true you stay to your modular concept, the less exceptions you'll encounter - but don't sweat them.
    The modular system is a tool that should work for you - it's not a goal where you work for it...

    You say you want to add angles to your city. Well, even though it’s not road you could add angles to your railroad by having the train yard but offset on an angle to allow for more trucks and containers, and potentially more ship docks for boats to load and unload cargo. The train shed could also lead around the corner of the zoo and the camp ground to allocate more rail car and truck trailer space, as a train shed would realistically be a bit of a distance from the railcar train yard. Otherwise I’m happy to see the road and the rail in front of the zoo not be bunched up together, it definitely looks neater and gives other transport like buses and taxis a chance to drop off people at the zoo!

    Id like to suggest moving the train track away from the waterfront and the city table edge. Bringing it further into the city, maybe a street or so, would help eliminate the flex track and also give the train camera a better view- ie Lego on both sides rather than Lego one side, warehouse wall the other side. Just an idea!

    Hi Bricksie, you're doing a great job with your city. I have a few suggestions that I hope you'll consider. I hope you will expand the beach so that there's more space for volleyball and other beach activities. I think you should make the bike path go behind the little shops on the boardwalk. If I remember correctly, one of those small buildings is a bike store, so I think that would be appropriate. I also think you should add more parking spaces going along beside where the train track is on the edge of the table, replacing the sidewalk on that side of the road. I saw a few of them in a line and considering how there's not much parking in your city, I think it's a good idea to continue them, and it would probably safer for the minifigs too to not have a sidewalk right beside a train track. Another consideration is to change the bike path color so it looks more different from the water.

    Are you going to add a river entrance under the boardwalk? Also, I’d love to see some larger bridges like a suspension bridge somewhere in the city! Looks good as it’s all coming together!
