It starts!! The cargo area!! It’s finally here!!
OMGGGG!!!!
I know. It's finally time!
Looks great! I think a gap in the battlements into the cargo area behind would work well and you could have boxes and cargo stacked up in front of it with a small gap and then have a couple of workers using it as a hideout to slack off, would be quite funny
Maybe use pirate heads on them to make them look like tough long shore men and tie them in a bit with the pirate fort elements nearby.
Really lovely work - great sense of completion here. Fortlet looks quality, but looking forward to see a reenactor / imperial minifigure / random tramp waving out of the little archway. How about another on the top involved in an argument with a seagull?
Regardless - happy Friday and thank you.
Real similar look and feel to the excellent beach & boardwalk videos.
this sounds amazing!
Personally I'm not sure on the re-enactor part, but I don't have a better idea for how to include one of those old red or blue coat uniforms nearby. Maybe some of the nearby coast guard could be wearing them as some kind of more 'dress' type uniform for something happening over at the coast guard building. Maybe some kind of drills if there is a yard to get a few as reenactors like you suggest or some kind of at post/ working guards like the Royal Guard?
I just realized that the under water cabinet is basically just the cut away from the first standing hole
Love the little fort for your harbor. I did have an idea though; on the side with the window you can put a skeleton peeking out that way you can inhabit the fort. It could be a haunted tourist attraction for your city. I can't wait to see the rest of the completed harbor.
You could combine the coast guard with the old castle Fort, like they've re used the old remains of the fort. Maybe extend the Fort in height and length to accommodate this. Feel like you've started something that could have great potential combined.
Tourists looking around the coast guard/Fort combination could help fund the coast guard through donations like the RLNI current do
U Can maybe build af High Way bridge at the double train bridge
It looks so good Robin! I love the way you are incorporating historical buildings into Bricknottingham. It’s very ‘real world’ and sets your LEGO city apart.
Im not sure if you have already used him somewhere, but the castaway mini fig would look great on the fortlet as a drifter. Perhaps he has set up a home for himself in the abandoned building.
You could make the foundation of the coast guard station look like the fort. As if they repurposed the fort in to the station.
The fort has such a small footprint but the improvement it makes to that area is enormous, love the nostalgic inspiration.
Robin, I'm so excited to see how this Cargo yard area turns out! It really has been a long time coming. One thing which confuses me, however, is the orientation of the slipway. What purpose would a slipway serve, if the top of it directly abuts a cliff face? If the ramp sloped gently (or steeply) downward, connecting the cargo area level with the water level, that would make sense. As you have it oriented now, it only would allow a boat or dinghy to approach by water, and be dragged to the top of the ramp. There would be no convenient access from above... Unless you plan to use a cargo crane to hoist it up from the slipway ramp?? Perhaps I've just answered my own question? Can't wait to see next week's chapter! Cheers.
That's a great build! You could build a lighthouse and use the fort as the base for the structure!
An easy Fortlet change would be to open up the back end of the lookout on top as a mini tourist area where they can take pictures of brick bay. You might also consider changing some of the black plate layer on it to match the colors of the burps to make it seem like the fort was really built into the rock.
Robin, may I suggest you add a Lego light brick and a Lego ghost minifig (which was common in the pirate series of the 1980s/90s) in the fort-let. The Lego light brick can be triggered with a switch near the flag. An abandoned and haunted fort-let!
Love the fortlet. Perfect size and tucked in nicely.
I wish I could live in your head for a day! The way you imagine and design your creations is why I love your channel. Can’t wait to see the progress!
Haha, I can't control it!
What a nice bit of colour !!! You could add some spikes on top of the roof to make it more fortified against vandalism !!!
It's nice to see this area rounded off. That must be very satisfying. But most of all, is the new fort. It looks so interesting and the backstory is really nice.
Nice start to this new area. The little guard Fort is sweet. Maybe you could fit another cannon on the upper level of the fort? You can never have too many cannons😆
Great job
I have been to Dartmouth it is a great place good to see it in your video
Yes lovely!
Brilliantly done Robin! The fortlette is charming as all get out! If the more involved suggestions other viewers have made feel like they would hurt the pure simplicity of the build, I'd suggest just a little plaque instead. Such a plaque could be a piece of historical information for tourists to read about the fort, or a dedication to the brave men who defended BrickNottingham Bay at some decisive battle some centuries ago. No need to overly complicate things if you do not want to.
You could put a coastguard building on top of the fortlet. So the new guards would use the remnants of the old guards.
I was thinking about the cargo area when watching a video of yours, and now it is here and starting to look pretty alright! I think you should also the fort a tourist attraction, but you have to go through load of unhappy cargo workers to get through. But if the cargo bay is too far away then I think just have 1 scared tourist as a cannon ship gets nearer to him. Great video!
Another great video Robin! I learned something new from this video, that the baseplates resting on studs match the height of the adjacent plates! This addition to your harbor reminds me of the US Civil-War-era Fort Point in San Francisco, where I’m from. They built the Golden Gate Bridge right on top of it!
I've driven over that bridge. If you're interested in using baseplates like this then check out the first Marina video. That was pretty good as I recall!
A suggestion: a sleeping guard……while two kids run around the small defense works…love the build so far
The new cargo area is looking good so far with the old abandoned fort
i love how its at the very edge of the city. looks so cool
Looking awesome Robin, we love that cute little fort and great to see this part of the city getting developed, looking forward to the next episode 👍🏻👍🏻
Cool build! I hope we get to see some huge overhead chances when it comes time to build the cargo loading docks etc. of the cargo area!
Oh yes. Cranes galore!
Excellent... love anything that builds with classic pirate stuff 👌 😍
the baby fort is very cute... 🤣🤣🤣
Naaaw. It is though!
Fantastic improvement to your city Robin! Definitely looks alot better. I love the little fortlet. I think you should leave it as an abandoned fort since your cargo yard will be right next to it you wouldn't want people to stray around the cargo yard and get hurt trying to get to the attraction. But I do think you need one of those old red parrots purched up on the wall of the fort. I can't wait to see more of this build. Great video my friend keep up the amazing work.
Great fortlet! I agree that no need for re-enacters but you could still have some (less commercial) tourists or photographers looking at it. If it’s meant to be historical, that be quite likely. Perhaps even a Mr and Mrs Hood visiting just like in Dartmouth!!
I like the idea of the small bastion however I think it could use a plaque or statue, it works well as one of those forgotten out of the way monuments/sites that is now neglected.
Can't wait for the next build.
It’s a great upgrade in the front of your city. I also have some “eye sores” in my lego town and would love to get them all sorted. As usual your videos are helpful in getting ideas for those areas 😊👍
This had to be my worst one. I have a few underground areas I really should get to as well, like under the River Trent and under the Krusty Krab!
Good idea with the fortlet. Since your city exists in the present time, I think it should be abandoned. But then I would either remove the canon altogether or make it visually clear somehow that it no longer works. Also, the ammunition should not be there anymore. Maybe you can include some other signs of decay. At least that's how I see it. Curious how the rest of the area is going to be.
Maybe it isn't decayed enough, but a lot of those places still have the gun and cannon balls as they're just too heavy / difficult to remove!
The Fortlet really is cute! What a great use that little corner space! And feels practical for what you described. I like it a lot! I am also very much looking forward to the larger Cargo area development as well!
That does look pretty good. Nice placement. Those old panel pieces look amazing! Did you know that they considered putting guns on the Sydney harbour bridge during the war.
I love old pieces like that and they can often be disappointing when they arrive so these were amazing.
I didn't know that about Sydney. I imagine it might have been all over by the time they got used. Thankfully an issue never tested!
Love the fortlet idea and I would have it as a tourist attraction with a walking tour around it
Love the idea of Tourist Attraction. Here in South Africa in Cape Town, we have the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront which is touristy besides a working harbour, so think it would be cool to have tourists there.
Wow!
It looks amazing! So much better so far.
I would personally add more detail to the fort, like a minifigure (which would represent a statue)
It needs an old school lego ghost in that window Robin 👻
Maybe some teenagers can row to the fortlet (or climb down there) and try to sneak in or something like that. Love the build, brings me childhood memories. :)
Maybe with pirate hats on too!
@@RobinHoodBricks of course! :)
Looks very good! Very nice video, somehow gives same vibes as your video's on the beach area.
One of the videos i wanted to see. One of my best parts of your city consisting the seaports😊 cant wait to see it complete. As for my SeaPort City, i have more water then land area.😂✌️🗾
Haha, there's nothing wrong with that. I like a good harbour too. I love those yellow crane supports I have the best!
Poor artillerymen that once manned the fort/gun emplacement, must've gotten quite wet at high tide! 💦 I'm imagining the fort engaging in a gun duel with barbary corsairs!
Looks great. wondered when you mentioned a small fort for the bay, if you were planning an island fort like in the Solent. think maybe a skeleton or hidden treasure inside would finish it off well (unseen of course)
Cool looks great. Keep going for Monday video.
Devon looks like a beautiful place to visit
I'm always excited to see what ideas you will do. It's amazing
That little arch needs a glow in the dark ghost.
Its look very amazing great!
Thank you!
@@RobinHoodBricks With pleasure. By the way, I build Lego MOCs and I would be very grateful if you could drop by my place! ;)
Just my opinion, but I think you should have put some rock formation under your yellow fortress. As it stands now the yellow fortress section looks like it’s in the water.
Yes that's right. That's how the real life inspiration was. It was in the water and ready to fire at incoming ships!
Nice build! If you wanna keep working on this area, id love to see it!
It looks like we have a nice space near the bridge to do something fun with. If that ramp ends up on the water we could do a cool effect on the edge to make it look like the water is lapping up the ramp. Maybe the fort is like a heritage site maintained by the coast guard due to its military history that the general public are restricted from getting too close to. Perhaps a combination of semi active status, the nearby water being now being unpredictable and treacherous and the old structure having made its way into becoming a necessary load bearing solid point of the shore as the area was developed over time. That could be played up with some rock or water effects crashing against the stone/structure or swirling in the bit of water by the ramp. Otherwise we may be able to incorporate it a bit more once we have other nearby things in place. Maybe as a historical viewing point with a small plaque telling of the location's history.
Just remembered that some of the older lego sets would sometimes have hinged walls to make accessing the play spaces easier especially for buildings. It might be a neat kind of retro element to work into one of these older style builds. Even if its not an area that would be toggled open or closed often it could be a simple 'play feature' type thing that could be implemented pretty easily.
Add a Lego skeleton hanging over out the window of the fort or hide a skull somewhere on it
LEGO city 60168 saiboat resque set might be something for you, Robin, one sailboat for the cabinet, one resque-boat for your resque station. 😁😉
That it also fills up that side dock...., bonus, right?
I got the sail boat from that set on its own somehow but it's in reserve. Other ships are better I think!
@@RobinHoodBricksYeah, the resque boat is the better one of that set and would fit your city, quite nicely, don't you think?
Would also let you add a dock for the resque boat as well.
Might let you get enough stuff together for a clippy.
Still think that fort could be a bit higher, though, if only to let it stand out from the main water wall, like being one brick higher or so.
You know how they were in the 50s, 60's and earlier, tear it down or add to it, historical??? what is that??? lives are at stack, add that concrete wall.
So really, make that fort a bit higher, so it is above that wall.
I do wonder if building something up against that wall, could work, like say a old storage shed or so.
Now that chemical storage yard, think you could also turn that one into a row?
Perhaps with the offices incorporated?
Might even let you use the Batman Two-Face minifigure, there.
As for Indiana Jones, could you add Johnny Thunder as well?
Perhaps with a car that is in style, blocking that truck?
Would my bricklink gallery page have something you think you could use, if modified?

Anyway, I think you will like this clip.

And here is another option for your global transport roof section.

Hope some of these thoughts, help you along.
Those yellow panels don't look so bad, they are used in a similar way at the main Fort.
Be sure to add the super secret police conducting a sting operation in the cargo area. or in the unfinished side next to the bridge add a pirate cave were they can steal crates of goods from under the cargo area
omg i am starting the same slip way ... look forward for inspiration.
This is amazing keep up the good work
Great start. Think it's looking good so far. I just feel the dark grey plate inside the fortlet looks a little odd. Maybe you could cover it with some yellow or white plates. To me it looked like the rest of the tarmac area, so it didn't make sense to me. Thanks for all your awesome videos.
I’ve got a build idea
a train yard for all the cars on the mega train or the rail zeppelin and the express steam train 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚋🚋🚋🚋
The problem with sidings is that you need two for it to work at all. Train A needs to come off to even allow Train B to leave its siding. As a result it takes far too much space, especially with very long trains. Therefore I don't bother, or even try to have more than one train running per track. Very perilous!
Hey it's looking great! I also watched your supermarket series and am wondering when you will place it? Because I though this video may have started with that aspect. Thanks and great video!
I’m a Devonian
Dartmouth is a lovely town and it is very historic
I’m from another Devonian river mouth of Teignmouth.
We went there too!
You should add a skeleton in the fortlet
I’ve been waiting a long time for this. Are you going to include a crane 🏗 on this berth of the harbour?
Not a land to water crane, I figure the harbour has that covered. This will be rail to trucks only but still cranes, yes!
I have one of those yellow panel pieces and now I feel like I should build something with it haha
When are you going to do my train carriage idea for your cargo train?
The classic space idea? Not for a good while as I have a lot of things being bought for at the moment so I'll design that in the next wave hopefully. Classic parts may be hard to get too. We'll see. I look forward to it though. Pew pew pew!
@@RobinHoodBricks ok
Could you make a gap in the battlements so people can get into it?
I did consider that. It will be easily changed if we still want to later!
THIS VIDEO IS GREAT WHEN WILL THE FOLLOW OUT?
Dear Robin,
Can you make the small fortress as if it is being renovated. With a painter or a crane.
Greetings Jeroen
Patching up the brickwork!
Do you still plan on incorporating a tugboat in the Harbour
Mobile bay in the united states has two major forts at its entrance
Hello! It's Robin from 2021 speaking: "I'll first try to fill my city and will then do a second pass where I will fill all the gaps." 😀 😀

Am I the only kid that’s just with a bad city and watch this to feel better?
Awww. Just keep at it!
