I think it would be useful to add lights to the bottom of the bridge where the skatepark is, many skateparks need or have a light source. having a flicker aswell would look great.
For making the skatepark less grey, check out some California skateparks. They often paint edges or flat areas a single color to help people discern where the coping or flat is and offer something to visually break up the grey area. Some also have sections made of bricks. Also, layouts of skateparks typically have ramps around the edges with obstacle in between so that people can just skate back and forth without pushing, which gets tiring quick. People also like to bring in DIY boxes made of all sorts materials that could pop against the grey. Skaters also like to grab things like road signs and sheet metal to cover cracks or make small bumps easier to ride over. We also like to skate everything close to the park too and the barrier surrounding the park looks like a great place to put some grind marks. Stuff scrapes off while grinding which leaves dark skids on edges after a while. There's all sorts of interesting obstacles that can be built so that it's not all just A-frames. Jersey barriers and pole jams are super cool things that I think could translate into Lego pretty easily. I'm happy to even see a park at all honestly, great job with the city!
Loads of engineering challenges there, but the boys are clearly up for a challenge! No way to transmit power through the nylon wire, so it would have to be battery-driven, which means matching up contacts on the gondola and in the top station so the battery can charge up in between runs.
Something that I think would be cool for this build, the mountain specifically, would be a hiking trail/climbing route that goes from the gondola all the way to the top of the mountain when it is complete, whenever that may be. There could also a be a secondary route that goes all the way from the base of the mountain and connects to the top gondola. Could have some hikers on it being attacked by bigfoot or something like that. Can't wait to see more!
not to harsh your buzz but hed probably have to deconstruct half the mountain to do that... if you want to make something like a path Worn down into the ground you cant just ADD on top.. hed have to take the entire thing apart, that or make some elevated trail, which with the sense of scale hes going after would be quite difficult to do at minifig scale.. its possible but thats a huge ask for not a lot
@@ForzaMonkey true but it would look sick, I see your vision. If he can’t make one going all the way up maybe he could make a path leading to a little fire tower or a path from the road to the forest. Either way you had a great idea, and would love to see him do something with it. Maybe he could do footpaths by the castle instead? Who knows, maybe he’s already thought of this too! :)
In my opinion, you should rethink on the size of the cable car station on the mountain. When you look at it from a distance, it gives you the illusion that the station is gigantic in proportion with the mountains, since before, your idea for creating the mountains was to give an illusion of distance
@@dhycee8215 I meant when the gondola is in the city. Everything has to match in size, both stations and the gondola, so if he makes the station in the mountain smaller, then the others get scaled down too, and the ones close to the viewer will look too small. I think it looks fine as it is.
I have a tip from engineering perspective. If you put the sensor horizontally, there can accumulate dust and interfere with the signal, in engineering we place sensors vertically if possible to simply surpass the problem of dust accumulation on sensors. Love all your content ! I hope I can visit the museum some time soon!
imagine some teenagers getting off at the end station of the tram. they will not walk all the way around to get to the skate park. what will they do? they will jump over the wall walk through the vegetation to get to the skate park. therefore you should add a small path of yellowed grass to make it more realistic edit: what i mean is to make it look like trampled grass instead of an actually path. it will be very realistic
Please make the cable car slow down along its entire journey up. You use forced perspective to make the mountain seem bigger. You can't shrink the cable car as it ascends, but you can enhance the forced perspective by slowing it down as it goes up. This is just like how distand things seem to move slower.
Here are my little boys comments who is the actual fan of your work: Thank you for the skate park, you should add snow on the mountain as well as a ski area, you should also add a metro in your city, the old station has been hiding underneath the wild west moc 😉😉, Finally it would be nice to have a sketch like you did once (for the great city expansion) for the part where the city ends at the sawmill to know whats coming up next , Thank you!!
Even with the people the skate park looks a bit drab in color. Adding more people wouldn't work because it already has too many. My personal opinion is that the skate part would benefit a lot from some graffiti for color and aesthetics.
I feel like the cable car kind of ruins the forced perspective of the mountains. Maybe if you made the car smaller, it wouldn’t ruin the effect as much? You could always consider adding it to a different future hill where forced perspective isn’t used as much
In addition, have the cable car slow down along the ascent, as distant objects tend to look like they move very slowly. Please please please. Make it seem like it's receding into the distance, not just moving a meter.
This could even work in his favor, if he uses the cable car elsewhere in the build to establish its size, and then simply hangs a red and white 2x2 at the mountain top it would drastically sell the forced perspective, since we now have a reference for scale. That one would just have to remain stationary.
The cable cart is nice but: 1. It passes the street at street level, so there should be traffic lights or something like that to stop traffic (or the ground station could be moved to the other side of the road). 2. There are no parking spaces near the station 3. The top station should have a restaurant and/or lookout point 4. The original idea of using smaller trees to make the mountains look larger does not really work when your top station is as big as the ground station. I'd ditch that earlier idea and swap the little trees with normal sized trees. Then the cable cart won't go to the top of the mountain, but that's often the case, so I don't think that's a problem.
Yeah I think the gondola is a bit weird and out of place. No parking spaces? No staff buildings or restaurant or something? And it looks weird with the smaller trees.
You know what would be the coolest thing? You should make a tiny little car with a camera on it(doesn't have to be lego), and then drive it through the city for a while like you are a person living there. That would be so cool!
I'm only seeing this now... This is insane! It's like my childhood dreams with those Takara Tomy train playsets, nothing but vibrant and coming into life.
Hey Bricks Craft just a few design ideas: Maybe add a skatepark bench under a gazebo since most skateboarders don’t sit on the actual park as well as lights and graffiti and maybe an ambulance there because how is the doctor going to put his leg on if he’s not going to the hospital For the cable car maybe and like boom gates with flashing lights to stop cars travelling through and hitting the cable car and the cable car stop is way to big for the mountain in kind of sticks out like a sore thumb Thanks, love the build hopefully your sawmill gets to be an actual Lego product
If you’re looking for ideas to populate the mountain, I would consider adding a couple of climbers! You could make a few of them be drilling into the rock to add bolts, or if you want to keep with the older style of the nearby village they could be quite funny to see some in tweed jackets and hobnail boots!
Have you considered adding some darker greens / some diversity of color in the large forest areas, specifically around the mountain?? I love your builds and been following for a while! Just something I’ve always thought. You’re awesome!
This is ultimately one of the best Lego channels on YT. Can't believe it doesn't have 1M subs yet. Brickcrafts and his brother deserve some recognition for their time and effort put into building and programming this beautiful miniature city, piece by piece. Also, when will you ever make a Lego city update that isn't 8 minutes lol P.S: How do passengers exit at the top of the mountain?
When you get back to lighting, I think having some overhead lighting on the skate park coming from underneath the bridge makes a lot of sense. This stuff looks great. Keep up the great work!
Love this! Looks great! I don't know how it would look in person but progressively slowing the gondola as it gets closer to top might give the illusion it's further away than it is.
I would have loved to see a skatepark with the large pieces from the early 2000s. The scale is much more accurate for Minifigs. Also, a skatepark under a bridge is very common, so that was the perfect spot to put it in. Thanks for another great video !
I love the area under the bridge! It feels so lively now, I can imagine the skateboarders getting off the tram and buying a drink or snacks before hitting the park!
This is hands down one of my favorite series running on youtube atm, great video as always!! I love how you covered the gap at the skate park using foliage. Covering stuff like that with greenery truly unites all lego, model, minecraft and sims builders :D
Amazing! I love the details you have in your build. It really does raise the impression of an ative world which is generally pretty hard when dealing with anything miniature.
You might be able to mess around with the speed settings on the gondola to better reinforce that things farther back towards the mountain are smaller. The max speed you have during the course of the trip could adjust slightly so that the "max" speed closer to the top station is lower and the "max" speed closer to the bottom is station is higher. This would further sell the scaling effect you have set up in your lego city mountain area.
Gondola looks great. What about a crazy climber on the side of the bridge (like a dare/bet to free climb it?)? Just an idea. Definitely a light in the gondola would look amazing. Maybe a line of people to enter the gondola (with bikes or skis)?
Really loved the new updates! The whole environment under the bridge was brilliant. Hav you considered what to build next to the airport? I've thought that maybe you could add a theme park (with roller coaster) or maybe a power plant (nuclear?). I think either of those would look great with lights for the night set up. Either way, thank you for the update and keep up the good work.
You were worried that the mountain would look weirdly scaled but to be honest I think it looks fine. It just looks like slate cliff walls which lends credit to the idea that it wouldn't be super grassy because it's mostly rock. It doesn't give the impression of being this mega huge mountain like the Rockies in the U.S., but it does seem perfectly reasonable. And if there's nowhere (in this area) to build a road up to that height, it makes sense that you'd need a gondala. That being said, maybe consider a mountain path, it would take away from the majestic height idea you were going for, but it could disappear around the back of the mountain and give the idea that the mountain goes even higher, perhaps a second gondala exists elsewhere beyond the moc.
I love your dedication to realism, my only suggestion would be that all of your trees feel much too short. Even smaller city trees are taller proportionally. Just a suggestion, Great work!
Hint - if you want to make the gondola wheels spin on the rope, add some rubber bands to the wheels for greater friction (and of course grey, not black LEGO technic axles)
Best Lego channel on UA-cam!! Yall r so awesome, when I first discovered your channel I binged every video! The story telling and designs of every build is so captivating
You need to add a flying fox and playground next to the skate park!!! Also make it so you can pull a little Lego person on the flying fox seat and let go making it zipline down... just a suggestion of course :)
Just a friendly tip, I would increase the mountain size in order to have more presence. By doing that you could also add some hickers or campers and even a mountain restaurant if you'd like, right near the gondola station. Nevertheless, the city is looking fantastic!! Keep it up ❤
i like the park next to the skate park. I feel like the grass looks a bit overgrown for a park though. I think making it a little flatter maybe just letting studs show or maybe green cheese wedges in varying directions will make it more clean and then keeping it more over grown towards the edges would make a more natural look as if people go into the grass. You could also add a picnic or people playing catch to add a bit more to it.
Only yesterday I saw the video of the city before the skatepark addition. I clicked this, not knowing that you had now included it, and I am all the happier for having made this discovery
Another great video! Would you consider adding a police station and fire station to your LEGO city? Would you also consider making a Medieval Kingdom. Build the castle again, except what it looked like in 1100s with a monarch, blacksmith shop, an enchanted forest with a subtle Shrek reference? LOL
Fantastic update. Great highlight whenever you post. I do however wish we got as much love as the German channels. The brickbrothers had a full length video on just the gondola showing the building techniques and more in depth. This is super interesting to watch. It would also be great to see the supermarket being designed and built instead of just being placed! This could be two seperate videos = more frequent posting = more views;)
Coolest city ever! The mountain top gondola station needs some platforms to be able to walk around it. Maybe some paths or minifies climbing the mountain or maybe a mountain top restaurant.
I would consider adding a middle support structure for the cable car. I work in the mountains and have never seen a cable car that long without additional supports. Stations up an down look great though
If the gondola decelerated gradually as it travelled up he mountain, it would help the illusion of the mountain being larger and the upper station being further away. Great build!
Finally the underside of the bridge is getting some love after over a year! For me the skate park might be the best part of the city itself, simply because it's a lot more grey than other parts. Originally I was sold on your idea of adding more and more color but I feel like at some point, the city started having too much color and not really looking like a city anymore. I think it's great to have at least some mostly grey patches to give it the resemblance of a city, and you can break these up with graffiti. The only thing I don't like is how the rockface under the bridge is the same color as all the pavement, and it blends too much.
Musical fountain would be a lovely addition to differentiate the earlier fountain and the Skate Park Fountain! Have a midi running and LED colors sync to the midi music file… LED lights can be shone through the fountain spouts. 🎵⛲️
I live in a city with a skatepark under an overpass just like this. I think added some white fluorescent style light under the bridge will make that area really pop in the nighttime mode.
Not sure if this is possible, but some lights on the bridge could be really great and make it stand out more at night! Lots of bridges irl have lights on the cables or projections on the towers. Great video as always!
Please please add a rock a climbing gym. The storytelling you could add to that would be awesome. Rock climbers on the mountain would also be a cool addition to that area.
You know, an awesome idéa for the city is an outdoor concert arena, and put up some RBG flashing LEDs. Lots of opportunities for story-telling and would look so cool! 🤩😁 also, love your builds and projects 😊
I would suggest building the mountain even higher and building a hiking trail from the gondola station to the peak of the mountain. I think the mountains would look great if they were even higher and had snowy peaks.
It's so beautiful. If I can suggest one thing is with entire view of city this mountains look small. And now with gondola look even smaller. It will be cool if you make them twice higher then you will have this feeling that this is real mountains.

@@LordShadow634 Yes!! That would be amazing!!
Never saw a fully grey skatepark: why not use some stickers as graffiti? That would really give a colorful look to that grey area!

Light in the gondola. That would look epic at night.

The injured skateboarder needs an ambulance, also would love to see your design for a European ambulance in Lego
That was my first thought too.
Oh and a hospital would be required then as well!
"European Ambulance" lol
Do you know how many countries (each with a different ambulance) europe has?
And a cemetary if things don't go as planned.
it really looks like the doctor just cut his leg off with his huge shears lmao
You sir, are a MASTER BUILDER!!!!!!!!

He should be a lego master builder with his brother. These are so authentic!
The slowdown of the gondola looks so real. Well done!!!
This is the best Lego city, the details are so pretty and nice. Love the detail and the flora
Absolutely wonderful. You are doing all the things that I thought might be impossible to do. Just inspiring! Keep up the amazing work.
I just love seeing your lego city updates, I get cheered up by a new video when I am depressed, I can't wait for more.
Only yesterday I saw the video of the city before the skatepark addition. I clicked this, not knowing that you had now included it, and I am all the happier for having made this discovery
Another great video! Would you consider adding a police station and fire station to your LEGO city? Would you also consider making a Medieval Kingdom. Build the castle again, except what it looked like in 1100s with a monarch, blacksmith shop, an enchanted forest with a subtle Shrek reference? LOL
Fantastic update. Great highlight whenever you post. I do however wish we got as much love as the German channels. The brickbrothers had a full length video on just the gondola showing the building techniques and more in depth. This is super interesting to watch.
It would also be great to see the supermarket being designed and built instead of just being placed!
This could be two seperate videos = more frequent posting = more views;)
Brothers of Construction have returned!!!!!
The guy losing his leg is wild 😂
Great work!! I'd also suggest a couple support towers between the bottom and top stations of the gondola to give the illusion of distance.
Coolest city ever! The mountain top gondola station needs some platforms to be able to walk around it. Maybe some paths or minifies climbing the mountain or maybe a mountain top restaurant.
Love the vids and the city ❤, just wish I got to see it in person when I was in the area 😢
I would consider adding a middle support structure for the cable car. I work in the mountains and have never seen a cable car that long without additional supports. Stations up an down look great though
This just keeps getting better. Great job on the whole layout. 👍👍
awesome video! tysm for posting u were one of the main reasons I started a channel and built a city of my own! cant wait to see what comes next!!!
If the gondola decelerated gradually as it travelled up he mountain, it would help the illusion of the mountain being larger and the upper station being further away. Great build!
Finally the underside of the bridge is getting some love after over a year!
For me the skate park might be the best part of the city itself, simply because it's a lot more grey than other parts. Originally I was sold on your idea of adding more and more color but I feel like at some point, the city started having too much color and not really looking like a city anymore. I think it's great to have at least some mostly grey patches to give it the resemblance of a city, and you can break these up with graffiti.
The only thing I don't like is how the rockface under the bridge is the same color as all the pavement, and it blends too much.
Musical fountain would be a lovely addition to differentiate the earlier fountain and the Skate Park Fountain! Have a midi running and LED colors sync to the midi music file… LED lights can be shone through the fountain spouts. 🎵⛲️
I live in a city with a skatepark under an overpass just like this. I think added some white fluorescent style light under the bridge will make that area really pop in the nighttime mode.
add a chalet in the mountain please
I just caught up and then you post today! I love the progress.
Not sure if this is possible, but some lights on the bridge could be really great and make it stand out more at night! Lots of bridges irl have lights on the cables or projections on the towers. Great video as always!
1:17 i love this so much, as well as 1:30.
love it!!!!!!! I would love to see like a snowy area or even a ski resort though
Please please add a rock a climbing gym. The storytelling you could add to that would be awesome.
Rock climbers on the mountain would also be a cool addition to that area.
I would recommend putting flashing markers on top of the carriage. And top station. It would be hard to light up the wires, though. Great video.
Another great update. Always looking foward to your updates! Great work.
More one nice video, i like so much your city
This layout is amazing, you do such a great job every video. I hope you still enjoy building, be I certainly love to watch. Keep up the great work
Once again a fantastic job, it just keeps getting better and better!
Let’s go Brickscraft. Just supported you Ideas project, it is so beautiful
You know, an awesome idéa for the city is an outdoor concert arena, and put up some RBG flashing LEDs. Lots of opportunities for story-telling and would look so cool! 🤩😁 also, love your builds and projects 😊
Or a dance battle event!! 🤩
You guys are very talented this is so cool to watch come together over the years and see you expand! Good job keep up the good work🎉
This video was made 1 day before my birthday
I would suggest building the mountain even higher and building a hiking trail from the gondola station to the peak of the mountain. I think the mountains would look great if they were even higher and had snowy peaks.
You guys are truly talented. Ive always wished to build my own lego city, and it is just so cool to see someone actually doing it!
Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!
It's so beautiful. If I can suggest one thing is with entire view of city this mountains look small. And now with gondola look even smaller. It will be cool if you make them twice higher then you will have this feeling that this is real mountains.
