Just remember...the city is fluid...it will never be 100% complete...it will always be changing...the city is looking great...keep it up!! Maybe get a whiteboard and jot things down...erase as u complete objectives!
Love the white board idea. I own a construction company and we always have e a white board on job sites with a hit list. Great idea.
Great idea 🎉
I was going to say exactly the same. Nice big white board and section an area on the board for each area on the city. Then write down for each area what you need to do and leave an area where you can write down new ideas for each area. The only thing I don’t do personally is wipe off what you’ve achieved, I strike it through with a different colour marker, then you can see what you’ve achieved during that day/week. Then if you’re having a doubting day you take a look at the whiteboard and you can see everything you’ve achieved👍🏻👍🏻
totally agree with the white board idea!

Hello, first of all congratulations the new city is looking great. I am a project manager and you are suffering of “scope creep”. My suggestion would be to work in versions. Finish version one of each of your areas and then work on improvements. Make a plan in writing for each area with a checklist for each one. Thanks for sharing this exciting project with us.
This👆 👍👍👍👍
I remember with the older city, you did have a whiteboard with a to-do list.
I was nice to keep track of your priority in mind and satisfying to erase lines.
I just realized something as well. It took years for you to grow and develop the Lego City to the extent that you had it before. So it is ok life it takes a long time to develop your new Lego City to the level that you want it to be. It is at least 2 times the size and you are doing a lot more details and elevation than before..
Start with the terrain, then do waterways and roads. Get the layout roughed in then go back to add buildings and features. Finish with the details. Don’t completely finish one area and then move to the next; the details and building will always evolve, but the terrain will remain the same for the most part
Like I Said you have all this time and your going nuts, pace yourself slow down before you burn out. like I said you need to start with one thing at a time do your ocean first then your docks then train and work you way down the table because your going to make changes every time you build something and wanting it to go in the city. SO SLOW DOWN AND DO ONE THING AT A TIME.
Seems like a repeating theme that a lot of the city overall depends on where the mountains are. Maybe getting the mountain range done would help move the other areas along.
Do whatever you’re motivated to do each day, don’t force yourself to work on areas that you aren’t in the mood to work on. We don’t mind watching you bounce around projects, we’re just enjoying the journey.
Building those raised platforms for the mountain will help you start some more projects. Raise up ninjago, build mountain behind zoo, waterfalls, reconfigure mountain covers, ext. it will definitely help finish other projects you’ve already started. City is fun to watch grow
Its not glamorous but the common theme I keep hearing is until you know where the mountain is going you can't do XYZ. I'd personally take the time to plot the location ans height of that and build the raised platforms. That will help you visualize what you need to do with everything else. Once you have that done buckle down and force yourself to finish the beach and the boat yard. Seeing something actually complete when you first look at the city will help give you a sense of accomplishment and motivation to get the rest done. One eats an elephant one bite at a time but it doesn't feel like much is getting done if you keep bouncing from one unfinished spot to another.
I wouldn't start the mountain till you finish the canal since they're going to connect. How you connect them is probably going to be the trickiest part. Just saying... looking great!
personally i like how you are working around your city in a loop clockwise from your residential area, maybe keep that pattern so you know what you need parts for and what you are working on.
I think you’d might be making life a bit easier if you actual build your levels up first. It’ll be easier to see your vision and build around the elevation.
just an idea, but maybe in the new empty space between the park and emporium you made a little street market? just have a bunch of crowded stalls and goods being sold
Airport/heliport !
An airport would take up too much space. Brickcrafts made one and it had to be huge. He already has a plan of where everything would go. It would only make everything smaller and have less details.
I would get the base plates down for the entire city before I do any detail. I would want to know I have my base done before you build in case you want to change anything
Hi Bricksie.
So glad to hear that you and Jose enjoyed glamping.
My list for tasks would be: the water in the harbour, the countryside, the zoo, then the residential area as a start. You have the pieces for those and they would lay a good foundation for the mountain, the inner core of the city etc.
Make your list and stick to it and things will start to evolve.
Not related but I use a spinner wheel on line for my crochet business. I put in every wedge what I need to get done and spin the wheel and that’s what I make. Maybe you could do that to and it’s decided for you. It’s looking awesome.
Thats an interesting idea. Never thought of that before.@@belindaslomp1253
. Great idea I've never thought of that
I love the suggestions below that talk about scope creep; it’s a spot on observation. Please give yourself grace to go at a slower pace. Those that talked about the years it took to perfect your last city are right-Rome wasn’t built in a day… and Bricksieville won’t be either so take your time, make a project plan, don’t rush, work methodically. I worry the stress over making fast progress might harm your health-seriously. We are all here to support you and will be here to watch your journey, please don’t worry about that. You have many fantastic ideas….put them on a list and prioritize making a first pass around the whole city, then make adjustments later. It seems the mountains are job #1 and wooden structure to support them. Then other pieces will fall into place. 😁👍👍
Great video, glad you had a good time glamping!!
Any consideration of moving the zoo back, closer to the amusement park and moving Ninjago City to where the zoo's current location is?
City is coming along beautifully. Love the tearing the old down to build the new. Youve learned so much since you've built all those zones and in the new you can see your evolution. Keep up the great work bricksie your doing a great job and thank you for all the hard work you do for us all.
You need to work out how you are going to join up the road of the city area to the countryside. There is a lot of train track in the way.
Yeah very confusing
Take your time, no hurry, do what your passion tells you! We are here for the journey.
Like you said before. Start from the front to the back. Quadrants one at a time. Doing multiple projects just leaves many unfinished work. Completing one thing will feel really good. You can move on if you feel bored with a section but don't do multiple. You're so close to finishing the water and downtown. Rooting for you bricksie
First Dude, RELAX. Then make a plan on a Whiteboard, that way its easy to change on the go. I like your first thought of doing a "Rough" Base Layout of the complete area. Then I would work on making the wooden base for the Mountain area, as so many other areas will work around the Mountains, such a Ninjargo City, Zoo, Farm, Train Lines, Amusement Park and the Snow Fields. Keep Brickin.
Roughing out the mountain will help further define the overall shape of the city. You can start shifting around things which will end up going up there (even if they need to move or shift height again later). And that in turn helps define where stuff will go lower down.
You are doing a great job. Don't feel you need to rush this. Where is the fun of that?
20mins of thinking loudly!! ... most of your vids these days are same as this1
As a long time viewer i just want to say im on the side of supporting whichever style of videos you post 😊 impressive work and much love from ontario ❤
I'm going to say one bad thing and that is, you shouldn't have built that ISLAND just to build your knights and castle you should have built more table space to the edge of the carpet and you could have then you could have built your island and put your knights in your country with your Ninjago and not worry about something else that's not getting done.
For the size of the city there isn't really much parking. That cul de sac location in the city could be a few parking spots. Also the dungeon by the residential area would work well for an elevated train station, if you're keeping the elevated line (which could arguably go up to the ski slope for example). Also if the canal water is being fed by the mountain then where the canal meets the ocean the waves don't really make sense as they're entering the canal (as seen at 18:21).
You're giving yourself so much work. I think your best starting point would probably be adding the outline of the mountain, it'll be a starting point of what you can then put around it.
Whatever you do will look good at the end . Don't worry take your time and never give up
looking at all you said the sea should be the first thing to complete then you need to design and build the mountain as everything else flows from it. Don't pull your country side sets apart just yet as they will help you to see how you could use them against the mountain, only when you have the layout for the country figured out take it apart and begin the rebuild. With different things going to be on the mountain you need space for them and also away the figures can get up to those levels on foot or transport. Once the mountain takes shape you will make better progress as you can see what your next step in the project will be.
One base plate at a time.
Getting the big picture roughed in might be the way to go. Then you have a basic level of how the whole city will look... and then you can pick a section to start finishing up, whether it's the train yard, the canal, the zoo, or the wilderness and mountain... on which note, I love the idea of the train track going through a mountain crevasse.
On which note: If you're going to get the whole big picture sketched, you're gonna need more baseplates. 😁
The new water and waves look great! I like the idea of at least getting some platforms and/or rough shape of the mountain in place. Will give you a good sense of the space and scale you have left to work with for surrounding areas.
The water does take a while and cost a lot, but I'm agreeing it looks good in the end. Maybe you should have a table as a staging area? Where you just have a list of 4-6 projects you want to do next and you start gathering parts for them. Like a jumping-off point.
I am loving how this is coming along. i feel it will look amazing once it is done. Reading some comments I'm in the same mindset, get the mountain started as it is a focus point in the city, it will help you roll into other ideas, and just getting the base design done will help. worse case you come back later and tweak/fully change it but it will still be super helpfull
Great plans! It’s a pleasure just to look at what you’ve accomplished so far with the beautiful cloud mural in the background!
Go for the mountains first as it will five direction for all sides around it.
Use ikea Malm table and tv stand table without base to make support for mountain. U already have so much wood that u could make an actual house
You should make the mountain 4 base plates wide instead of 6. If it’s narrower it will appear to be taller
Simon's house would make more sense in the residential area me thinks. City looks great though!
Also- I agree with other comments that the university and the hotel should switch positions and hospital sign go across the street from construction site. University could go where construction site is and octan station near the residential because the height is just off
I usually a few different craft activities on the go at once, when doing a big/ will take a long time like months project, I occasionally put it aside and do a small project that might take a day or two, it's amazing the lift a quick win will give you to carry on with the big one.
Your city is looking great! I found your channel about a year or 2 ago and love watching all of the updates, from the building and reviews, all of the way to your vlogs and life updates! You have a beautiful family! If you ever consider moving the harbor out of the city, you could maybe make like a deserted beach area, more for pirate style scenes, or move the campground there with some water front camp spots, or even just a park with beach access and maybe stage minifigs walking the beach and the boat launch ramp; that can then transfer to the train yard and country side. I feel the harbor makes it feel a little crowded in that corner, but still a great idea when trying to incorporate the cargo ships. Like you and others always say, your city is going to be fluid and will always be changing for the better. I would take it in sections so the whole picture doesn’t seem overwhelming. Great job with the water yesterday; the detail just brings it to another whole level!
I would wait to disassemble the natural areas. It seems your idea of starting with raising Ninjago would be the place to start because the camping area and zoo depend on that. I think your idea of finishing what you have already started is a good idea. I would imagine this is a bit overwhelming! Whatever you do will be progress. This is supposed to take some time. It is looking great!
Like I said before you need to lay out you roads and train tracks first to figure your layout. You also got to plan out your week to figure out what your doing that day.
I would say that the boat launch, train yard/road system should be sorted out next. That space looks tight over there, and there is lots of track to deal with.
The start of the mountains sounds most exciting to me as it links to other bits you have recently started like the zoo and the canal
Enjoy the journey. The Lego space is amazing and a work in progress.
The water looks really nice with all the depth differences and the little waves...
I'm totally loving the city and the journey you are taking us on. I do agree with some of the other comments, that if you get the mountain done it will trickle down in to the other sections. Also love the suggestion someone made about the whiteboard.
Hey Jordan. Following for some time, but first comment I believe. I jumped in full-time right as you started the studio switch. I found it fascinating to follow that process. Such a unique view that "average" people don't see unless we do something like it ourselves. Now just enjoying the progress of growing your city and studio. Just a couple suggestions thought I'd throw out. What about adding a small pier in the cove to the left of the beach? Maybe coming from the top down? Would fill in water a bit and create opportunity for your "stories' with fishing and all. Seems like cool idea, well to me anyway. Second idea, maybe consider customizing Studgate so it accommodates track at normal width. I've seen people do that. Would eliminate the flex track you don't like and provide better clearance within Studgate. Finally, no rush man. No need to "hurry" and get anything "completed". Nothing is ever complete with Lego anyway. I kind of like the process of at least getting the general layout of each section going even before "completing" any particular section. If you got that far then it would be cool seeing the layout in it's entirety and then watching the details fill in over time. But no rush. Just enjoy it and keep on going. No right or wrong though. Your layout. You do you.
Winter Village could be on top off a mountain
Having the train track be the transition from green space to sand might be cool. You can get some elevation with sand dunes between the boardwalk and the train track
do they have light blue trans slopes? if they do you should add some to the shallow water so the texture matches the ocean a bit more
Never ending problem...parts. parts and the right parts
I don’t really mind whats next as long as we build something… i have been here through four different versions of the city… from your very beginning.. and this is by far the slowest start ever… we got used to occasional vlogs, occasional reviewers etc but we seem to have moved away from building and far too much procrastination .. you have paced up and down and chatted about what you intend to do over 20 times in the last 2 months.. please can we build anything… please anything bricksie… i love the channel but even long subscribed viewers are struggling now
I really thought we off with the zoo… but ground to a halt and your comments indicates thats not happening again either
Good call on ripping apart the outdoors area!
Working big to small, general lay-out to detailed plates!
Keep grinding...
Great content as always. Rather than make a parking lot for the zoo would it be possible to make an entrance to an underground parking lot under the zoo itself. That way you could do something else cool with the space in front of the zoo.
I feel like the raised platforms is where to start it’s dead center & kinda everything links to that in a way with the mountains. Looks awesome!!! You’ve got a ton of great ideas! Few ideas though would be a parking deck to maybe instead of a parking lot & an airport would be cool too!! Again looks amazing!!
With the nigh parts counts for a number of project, I say go into a rotating your focus. Have one area parts on orders while you work on another part.
I think working on the rest of the water and the area between the beach and the zoo should be the focus right now. Itll pull the beach, boat yard, and downtown area closer together to completion as you have gradually done with the front section of the city. The mountains I would love to see you at least get the foundation done for this year. I cant imagine how long that would take to complete. Also working on the countryside should not be a priority at all this year. I do agree you should tear it apart but solely for parts. That whole left part of the city with the country side, winter village and even train yard I think you should make a 2025 plan. Thats a huge undertaking, much like you have been doing with the downtown area, beach, and boatyard that has taken over a month now and Im sure will take more months to complete. I think finalizing those areas by the end of the year will be a nice way to start 2025
One step at a time you’ll get there when u finish the front part it’s looking good take your time don’t rush it Patty wnek
I am so excited to see the direction of your studio. I joined when it was in the basement and its so cool to see you develop your true vision.
Water looks amazing ideas enjoyed whatnot yesterday 🍕
Base plates - I had an idea that could help, maybe! You could have a sponser a base plate fund raiser using maybe Ko-Fi or something that is low fee so it doesn't add too much to the cost.
The idea being that people can use that mechanism to buy you base plate and you write their name on the underneath in a permanennt marker so we can all feel like we have a small place in the city.
As I say, just a thought - love your content 👏
Definitely, the mountains. In order to avoid rebuilding over and over.
You should swap the university and the hotel. The hotel would get water views and maybe even be able to have a view of the ocean. And the university would have better road access. It’s a win win. ❤
Jordan, you could leave the dungeon, 7:15, or modify it to make it like an attraction or historical museum or something along those lines.
The space next to the big park would be a good spot for a farmers market type set up
You need an airport and a truck stop in the new expanded city
How about street vendors in the area next to the park? Or food trucks?
Everyday I look forward to watching bricksie latest video😊😊😊
Near the top of the mountain, you could potentially have a look-out point overlooking the beauty of the city!
I struggle to figure out a layout on my 1 foldable table, 😀 my mind would go crazy trying to figure out how to do your space let alone 1 of your big tables ha ha 😄 love it all
Yesterday was a great video with lots of timelapse building, today’s not so much. It’s really getting old listening to you just talk repeatedly about what you need to do. Once in a while sure but not all the time. It’s strange to hear the way you talk about working on your giant display like you are desperate to “finish” everything. The journey is what we want to watch you do. If you finish then what is your channel going to be about?
Please less talk and more building
Can’t agree more. Too much talk and no action. It’s starting to get annoying.
Agreed. Very accurate summary of this channel as of late.
It was this or no upload. 48 days ago, the tables were empty.
We would have preferred to see you and your wife playing cribbage in the cabin or walking in the woods. Lifestyle vlogs with the family are always great. Watching the twins playing is always fun.
A table as big as yours should always have some empty space. We enjoy the journey and we would hope you do too. Finished is not something we would ever wish upon you because that means it’s over.
@lkibbler I do have some incredible 360 footage from our glamping trip, I'm still pondering whether or not to use it based on feedback.
As far as the train track in the countryside, a tunnel may look more natural than a cliff side between the countryside incline and mountain
Definitely start planning the mountain first.
Boat launch
Finish water
Blend in the lighthouse water
Work on train yard /harbour area
Once that’s all complete then move on to bigger projects like the countryside etc.
Oh and hang the art 😂😂😂
You should consider bettter lighting of the space. it’s so unnatural and cold right now. Maybe try warmer and softer (diffused) light. Try puting a key light at an angle or something. Right now nothing is casting shadows. i Would love to see some experimentation with the lighting.
Logically, yes it it makes sense to build the base structure first, then add details, however, from an entrainment perspective, it’s so much more interesting seeing everything get detailed out as you go
I completely understand that you have millions of projects you want to get working on for the lego city. But do you think you're gonna be able to get some work done on the winter village for this holiday season?
Hey Bricksie! I just wanted to say that I’m a huge fan of your channel.
I know it’s a lot of work, but have you thought of changing the color of the bike lane (maybe gray to match the road)? Now that you have more water in your Lego city; not to mention the canal that you recently added, the bike lanes around the city look like small roadside canals. Just a thought. Thank you 😊 Best of luck and more power to your channel!
What about putting the hospital by the residential area and the train station? If you have it facing the road that goes over the train track you can have the pull through curve behind back to the road in front of the Simpson’s store
I think the mountains should be a top priority
Looks great! I think you could move the shipyard forward 1 baseplate & lose some water…looks like a lot of water and you might regret it later
I think the kwik e mart should be moved out of the residential area. IRL it wouldnt be zoned for that right next to homes and it looks off and makes the green space look a lot more sparse. I think one or two more homes would look great there, and the kwik e mart should go across the train tracks
A bit like what others have said, I think roughly mapping out the height/position of terrain, rivers and roads could be a helpful starting point. Because then you don't have to keep it all in you head, and once you've got an idea down, you've got something to work with and rearrange then. For instance, you might add a platform for the mountain and decide how much you want the train track to be recessed into the countryside section.
Have you thought about moving the quickie Mart to where you have those 2 houses and move those 2 houses where the quickie mart is. Mini figs might not like have a quickie mart next to there home 😊
Great video again Mr B. Are you going to be adding any more A Frame cabins ?
The real reason it takes decades to build a Lego city? They talk more than they build......
Lol, it's 1000 baseplates... and probably 100k worth of LEGO... it doesn't happen overnight. Do you not recall my old LEGO city , which took 7 years to build? This layout is over 3x the size.
i think the train valley might look funny better idea to make a tunnel for train don't have to ballliste track if its under the mountain
Looks good but If you want a list... start with the Canal, then area around the residential and open spaces around downtown, then in front of zoo towards train yard, then raise Ninjago, then finish water detail, then front part of zoo, then Mountain behind zoo, then finish the zoo, then details on beach then train yard, then countryside start, then amusement park set up, then platform coverings redo, then more work on countryside, then lower mountains, then finish train tracks/yard, Details in downtown, then start on winter village, then more work on country side, more work on amusement park, start mid mountains, finish countryside, finish amusement park, details in trainyard, details in boatyard, details in zoo, By this time it is already end of 2025 😋 with lots to still do (not even counting the medieval island).
You need a really big whiteboard on the wall to keep track of your projects.
It might be cool to put the dungeons inside of the mountain
No idea what is best, but if you finish the water at the harbour the first thing you see coming down will be done, which might feel good, and you bought the parts so should be easy to finish?
I would finish the water/boat yard first. Fix the cove and add it to the lighthouse. Maybe add a small train station behind the beach. The train station can be used for the beach and the zoo. once that was done, I would start making the mountain.
Dear Jordan, I can see the development and ideas you would like to do. It's time consuming and one moment you might be more in the mood to work on structures and be more creative in details on other days..
I might be an option to choose a project for 2 / 3 days or may be a week that you work on a certain part..
Or make Monday construction day and Friday detail day for instance..
Whatever you do, it's okay. It's okay if it will take a while. Do whatever you feel like doing that day.
Your energy, time and inspiration is different every day, that's life!
Please don't feel rushed or insecure, all is well and I love to follow your journey along the way!
Enjoy, you can build Lego everyday!
Much love and respect for you and your family.
Warm regards from the Netherlands.
Karin
Boardwalk idea, and I'm not sure if anyone else suggested it. However, boardwalks have light posts built into them for safety reasons. Maybe every 3 to 6 arches put in a light post.
Yes, plan ahead. But maybe "multitask", you have 6 access holes in your city. Could they also be lakes? Amusement/Water park. Residential lake front property. Lake campground. A reservoir. Alot of options.
I still say just put the mountains on the far edge of the city tables for an awesome background, and leave the back open that way you could put smaller builds in the mountains like caves or even a batcave that way the mountains don't take up more room than needed plus eventually when you get closer to filling up the table the mountains will be the first to go
your a fully fledged city planner now!
I’m making my own Lego city and it’s a work in progress
