I know what you're thinking. It's impossible, right? Everyone knows that you can't connect a LEGO baseplate to those weird big plate pieces that LEGO seems to love. Well, you're wrong! There's an extremely easy method that allows for a baseplate and regular plate to connect together. All you need are the baseplate and plate and two additional pieces. Yes, that's it! Just two. In this video, I, Lego4Life Productions, show you how to connect a baseplate to a regular plate using just two LEGO bricks.

If you lay the baseplate on top of a plate with studs, the total height = 2 plates, so you can have a flush surface. The baseplate is removable unless you connect the adjacent studs with a brick.
If you have enough parts to spare, and it’s important to have the surfaces at the same height, a baseplate sitting on top of regular bricks or plates has the same height as a regular plate. So baseplate on top of regular plate = 2 plate height.
Not always useful-if you have enough plates to support it, you can probably just use those plates and skip the baseplate. But sometimes it’s helpful because you want a large surface in a particular color. It can also make for great roofs or similar, if you’re running out of large plates.
This just solved so many problems for me. Keep up the good work!
really? you couldn't figure that out? Why play lego in the first place then. Maybe you should go back and watch some teletubbies
Isn't there a half plate height difference at the top of the connecting pieces? What now?
And what if the reason you wanna connect the two is because you'd like then to remain ground level like in, you know, most sets?
Now you have a height difference between the brick and modified 2 x 2 plate with studs on the side. 2 base plates stacked are the same as a standard plate. You could just use 2 base plates
Yeah but you still can't connect things to the bottom of a baseplate
He literally said base plates are getting rarer in sets
FINALLY I DONT HAVE TO SPEND ALL MY MONEY ON BASEPLATES, THANKS U EARNED A SUB
Spend them on a keyboard!
@@olahansen lmao
You shoud try the method using element 20482 (Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Bar and Pin Holder).
They fit inside the bottom holes of baseplates and make them pretty much exactly 2 plates tall.

Good solution, but keep in mind that this is an 'illegal' technique as the holes in the technic brick don't allow for deformation like the bottom of a normal plate or brick would, i.e. the inserted studs may lose clutch over time by being compressed. Your Lego, your prerogative of course.
A reversed headlight brick would be fine, right?
Thanks for this, what a great solution!
I have this problem too when building Lego Minecraft mocs, and usually I'd just put like cardboard under the baseplate or blend the obvious half-stud height with tiles, but that works too!
You are a legend this is exactly what I needed thank you
Sounds great, but the connection makes me feel uncomfortable. I'd probably use headlight bricks.
Nice Technic, will. Be really helpful in our City. Thanks for the tipp.
Thanks for the fix for this problem!
Glad it was helpful!
Nooooo, pin holes are at a different hight than studs on a similar brick, it accounts for a hight of "lego" letters on top of studs. You should definitely find that famous "illegal building techniques" pdf
this will help me totally, I've been trying to do this for years!!!
Your a freaking genius. I spent hours thinking about this. Doesn't help that i dont have those bricks
The technic bricks with holes and modified Plate 2 x 2 with studs on side are not flush on top, you have replicated the baseplate problem. A baseplate much like a brackets side has a hight of half a plate. Therefore you can apply basic SNOT techniques: For example put headlight bricks on the Baseplate and put technic bricks with holes on its side. Its holes will attach to the plate.
As I’m about to start my Lego City… this is perfect thank you!!
Actually so useful! Thank you so much!! ❤❤
ive always wanted to do this thank you😃
Holy crap, genius.
Thanks for the Lego math lesson! This will come in handy to add fancy details and make the base less square.
That's cool. I've got many of both those parts.
Looks like a 1x2 technic brick cuz the studs not filled in. Other thing is some sort of thing. i'll looke em up.
Thanks for this great idea
omg ur a genius
I agree I’ll sub for solving a years long piss off of mine,thanks,it was so simple once you showed us.
I need a plate where did you get the one on the right? I need one in tan atleast a mabey a 30×30 or 40×40
Plates like that don't come in much larger sizes I'm afraid. There are baseplates in tan that are 32x32, though
What’s the brown piece called ?
Brilliant!
Oh yeah! This is helpful!
You can still build it on a regular baseplate
Regular plates are super cheap, so I prefer to buy one more if neccesary 😅
Anyone know the name or code for these 2 pieces?
What are the part numbers so I can order them?
4304 and 32000!
use styrene to level base plates
me trying to use some SNOT building techniques and after all just 2 pieces are enough ... thanks tho by the trick
They make more sense. Baseplates don't have connections
Muy buen consejo
Hero
Just turn upside down and make up the height difference by using 1 x 6 plates underneath and the plates would be level 😂😂😂😂😮😮😮😮😮😮😮🎉😅🎉😅🎉😅😊
I’m pretty sure this is a illegal technique
And I need to build a Lego prison :(
Holly you sounde like just2good
Is it lliegal
technically it is because it plugs multiple studs of a single piece into the pinholes of a single technic beam
i would’ve liked but i didn’t want to ruin the 69 likes
Hmmmmmm
"these pieces" has numbers?
