Nice work. Like how you've set it out so far and using your creativity for scenes as well. Don't worry about the city being smaller than others. We all have our restrictions to space. Got to make due with what we can. Really nice
You are making some placements that I would not have made and I am finding them really interesting. Thanks for the ideas. Putting some of it together, I think I am going to try and put together an alley street mall in my city.
Digital Hillbilly yeah I find myself tinkering with it everyday lol. I think that’s the beauty of making a city! If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know though! I am Definetely a beginner at this. It’s my very first attempt!
Great video! I've started building a city with my brother recently and it's small but going well, I just want to say that your channel should get so much more popularity, the quality is very good and you are such a decent person in my opinion. (edit) the city is way better than mine
Hej ! Very nice beginning ! Maybe make first a plan (map) on paper... i have just begun the rebuilding of mine... I think I have made 3736383737 différents plans before hahaha ! But very Nice beginning !!
haha thats a great idea. I think i was over planning though and got to the point of never starting it. I thought it best to have you guys to help shape it and give ideas to the city to make it a commmunity build :) anything goes. i already have plans for batman lol
@@BricknIt haha :D yeeah, I always change the plans .. but I hope not to often haha. At this moment I have only baseplates, roads and trains .. but I hope more soon !
@@BricknIt yes, baseplates can give a good idea of the size of the city ! aaah nice for the train ! passenger ? If you saw mine, I have decided to put only the passenger's .. I will find another place for the cargos !
The car's parked on the wrong side of the street!! ;) Greetings from America. I love watching your thought process here. I'm going to be building a city with my kids over Christmas break, and I haven't found many videos in the theme of "building a new LEGO city without being a multi-millionaire". Thanks for the video.
Welcome aboard! Yeah cities can get crazy expensive and there are a-lot of opinionated people about the right and wrong way of building one lol. hopefully the vids help you out :)
I’m looking to build a city myself and have spent the last year buying up most of the modulars that Lego have produced. Unfortunately I won’t be building them yet as we are looking to move house this year (hopefully). Like you I have been watching other UA-camrs cities for ideas etc and will be seeing yours develop with great anticipation. Personally I like old style things and would stick with the classic styled street lamps.
It is a small space but it is still going to be a good sized city. People don't realize how expensive, time consuming & how hard it is to use available free space most efficiently. Just remember that this is still able to be much larger than most people have room to work with so don't feel bad about the size. It's how you work it that matters 😜. Keep up the great work & I'm looking forward to how this turns out!
Cheers buddy! Yeah the space is actually much larger i just dont have the tables at the mo :) so its definetely going to be much much bigger. Itll take me quite some years to add new modulars and MOCs and as you say the price of it all adds up very very quickly! thanks for the support! really appreciated! ive got quite a few updates since and release one every week!
@@BricknIt yes, I'm trying to view them in order to get caught up then I will go back & watch the other videos you have. Gotta get ready for work in a little bit so I will have to start back up later. Plus I need to finish this Wonder Woman set really quick as well LOL
Lord Arnold haha well thanks so much for watching :) really appreciated! Always awesome to get a new subscriber! Especially one that engages with the content 👍
@@BricknIt yes, I think it is a very important thing for the viewers to do to help the creator they are watching. UA-cam watches everything & if viewers are reacting with the videos then UA-cam will show these videos in more suggested lists (unless they lied to us which is possible too lol). Plus I like to talk. A lot 😂😂😂😂
You will need to work out how to do the corners for the train track as they take up a lot of space and from there you can work out how to use the strange shaped spaces you get round the corners. I don't like those layouts where the train tracks run right in front of the buildings. Also if you don't use a full baseplate for the edges where the tracks are going you could reduce it to, say, half a baseplate and that gives you a whole baseplate inside. Also your main street is currently showing the backs of the buildings on the right. So you could be better off putting those facing the other way (fronting on the main street) and then it would be good if you could another row of buildings on the same block behind them. You could also consider moving the modular on to the edge of the road baseplate; you would have more room that way and the pavements wouldn't be so wide. Your lamp-post could be done with a single 1 x 1 plate with a clip on top, and a plate on the post that clips on to it. Then you wouldn't have any studs showing in the pavement. You need a dumpster in that alley! Looking forward to seeing more progress.
Cheers buddy! Yeah it’s had quite a few updates since this one. The issue with the buildings is room at the moment but it is all getting moved to a new location soon :)
Cool, welcome to the Lego City Club...I like the city name by the way...my city is called the City of Brickfield Corner...my first time watching your channel...can’t wait to see your city grow...have fun...
Just last night I staked out a space in my apartment to do what you are doing in this video--I am going to set up a Lego city for 2022. I like what you did with buildings on both sides of the street (a lot of Lego cities I see only have buildings on one side of the street). I am going to take this approach as well. Thank you for this video.
I’ve got the book shop and Parisian restaurant for creator expert sets. The rest of mine are from the Lego Friends theme, which I’ve pretty much retired from, haha. Love your city!
Awesome matey! I've got a playlist for my Lego City so you can see how it's progressed over time! Hope you enjoy creating yours as much as I've enjoyed mine so far!
Good start Brother Builder. I saw your comment on Robinhood Brix channel, so I thought I would check it out. The newer Lego road plate sets combine a straight one with a side intersection piece.....then the curve is paired with the 4-way intersection. That way you get more straight.pieces. I have found that I have actually used more 4-ways than I thought I would, they are useful where you have a hospital or fire stations. I haven’t tried do video yet.
Yes I realised I’d got them the wrong way round in the vid. Think the next baseplates I need to buy are definetely green ones although I’ve noticed that the ones you buy separate are a lot lighter than the ones that come with the modulars
Brick’n It.......yes, unfortunately Lego has gone to the lighter green shade for their baseplates. But I recently ordered 2 baseplates (that’s all they will allow you to buy at one time) from Amazon, which they list as “classic green”. I also bought two blue plates, listed as “classic blue”I’m hoping they will match what I already have.
I have a plan of the layout, but there will be minor tweaks as we go.Glad to see you put the car on the correct side of the road too, just may want to swap the street sweep before there's a head on :)I should have my channel up in a week so I hope you check it out. If you go to my current one there will be a link up for it when it's done.Happy Building and enjoy the journey.
Hello, saw your comment on one of Robin Hood Brick's videos. Your city looks really good so far! I think you could add a white fence behind the book store, fish and chip shop and the pet store to cover up the backs of them.
@@BricknIt No, there's plenty of sets containing some, some recent sets that might still be in stores are, 70831 and 10768, although both sets only contain 2. If you so resort to bricklink, make sure to thoroughly clean them with warm, soapy water and wash your hands after so you don't get sick and can keep making amazing videos!
I just recently started a city too, but it isn’t that great as I don’t have any baseplates in the city. I’m getting some on the lego store but for some reason I can’t find any straight road pieces. Probably will have to get them somewhere else. Hope to get more modulars in the future to add to the city, because most of the sets are pretty small. Any tips on how to make my city better? Btw I subscribed. :)
Yeah it’s really hard to start a city. I’m a complete beginner aswell :) if you watch my city updates you can see everything I have done with my city so hopefully that can give you some tips and ideas :) if there are any specific vids you would like then just let me know as I’m always after new ideas 💡
really good start! i think a great idea would be to take the pumpkin patch out and line that whole green area with a tall hedge. it would look really smart - and bring in some greenery to the city 👍
Just starting a city with my 5 year old son. So a bit more simple, mainly lego city sets so far but good to get some ideas for layout. We only have a small area to work with. The old street lights look much better. Good luck!
@@BricknIt cheers, its great fun, but my OCD is clashing with his urge to fiddle with everything! Think I have to let it go and have my own set up somewhere else!
It looks very nice. There are L shaped finishing tiles for corners. Have you ever watched Robin hood bricks from the UK. He has wonderful ideas. Good job kid
Yeah I don’t think I have enough room for a theme park... but I’m thinking of just getting the station and turning it into a standard train station as I think it’s looks really nice
Hey I am looking forward making a lego city I’m a big fan and I am looking for tips becouse I recently purchased $500 worth of legos. And do you know were I can get good prices for legos or other things that will help me on the city?

It looks very nice. There are L shaped finishing tiles for corners. Have you ever watched Robin hood bricks from the UK. He has wonderful ideas. Good job kid
Thanks! Yeah i know robin hood bricks :)
You should definitely add more tiles!
Are you gonna buy me some?
When I have enough money, I am going to get the Disney castle, Disney train and station, and the roller coaster for an amusement park.
Yeah I don’t think I have enough room for a theme park... but I’m thinking of just getting the station and turning it into a standard train station as I think it’s looks really nice
Brick’n It I agree! I definitely don’t have the space but I’m thinking long term for when I do have the space
Love this Chris! 🤔 where did you get the little townhouse next to the Birchbooks townhouse?
that little town house comes with Birchbooks :)
more tiles
cute kelley definetely. I have them so just need to get round to doing it!

thanks so much for your kind words. Ive only been doing the channel for a month but already getting such nice comments :)
Great Video👍
Thanks buddy! Im going to try and do one of these every week so stay tuned :)

did you come up with the buildings youself? or buy (P.S like the vid)
is this a youtuber that still responds after months if it is im kinda impressed

damn im impressed

Who says that a city is pieceful
😂
what size is that table??
Are these going to be weekly updates?
Yup im going to try to! The more ideas people give, hopefully the more inspiration and enthusiasm ill get for trying to do a weekly spot for it :)
I also have a suggestion, you could open a PO box so people can send you Lego for your city.
@@epicsx43 Thanks ill have to look into that as i have no idea how to lol. Just started this channel mainly because I love and buy lego so much and wanted to share my passion for it :)

What's the measurement of the entire table?
people, it looks a lot like the Simpsons neighbor 🤯😳
ha ha, it's changed a bit since I've moved my Lego City upstairs!
Where and how did you get all those smooth tile pieces?
You can buy the from Lego bricks and pieces matey or the pick a brick wall at Lego stores :)
Okay thank you very much
Lego makes white ones now
Yeah I think they do now buddy!
I think you should call your city bricktain! it's like Britain but bricktain
Cool name
@@Brickyboyproductions thanks
@@legocaptainstudios your welcome
What measure does the table have,
They are the biggest linmon ones mate, so 3 baseplates by 6 baseplates i believe
