Tunnel System for the LEGO City Expansion!

[@sublimchu877]

7:39 The street looks absolutely beautiful at night with all the lighting!! It feels so real!

[@Viewer-zs6xj]

So gorgeous

[@billynomates920]

it so does!

[@tobyfett8326]

it would look even better with a little variation in light colours - real cities don't have the exact shade of white light, but rather all shades of white and yellow etc

[@Nyllsor]

The lighthouse turened out super-nice!!

[@kenjianimates]

Imagine cleaning up that Lego afterwards

[@ollytigby8485]

A ski resort on top of that mountain would be cool. Could make a miniature one to create some force perspective. And add a mini figure scale cable car station at the base that connects to a miniature one at the ski resort.

[@pineapplevisual1564]

CASTLE!!

[@ollytigby8485]

@@pineapplevisual1564 a miniature ski resort can be behind the castle In the background. Or a castle could be adapted to be a ski resort. Just throwing out ideas.

[@mallee5000]

@@ollytigby8485 pretty sure a miniature ski resort was initially planned to be built on top of the mountain behind the city. there's a building for cable gondola lift by the river crossing with a small parking lot... but that's as far as he gotten with it so far

[@aurora4xabo665]

Yea a ski resort of sorts to use space at top of elevation, and to honor? that display thingy you brought the pirates thingy to.

[@MC-di7op]

Especially since he is a really good skier

[@sinca17]

Usually a lighthouse built near a city has a window directed only to the sea, and a solid part to preevent the light hitting the buildings in the city. You should add a screen to the lighthouse to avoid the light hitting the buildings in the upper city.

[@Cooleatack]

Yeah the lighthouse effect with the mirror is lost in this setup. Your suggestion is better imo

[@jelle839]

I like his design more.

[@sinca17]

I prefer the effect of the led, I'm suggesting to change the design for sake of realism. A lighthouse in that location doesn't have a 360 degree windows, because the beam of light bothers the city

[@efenili]

Ya. I like the LED in this situation more but could add a solid back on the side of the buildings if you wanted...

[@MrKipchak]

I think you should consider including more features of forest dynamics into your forested areas like around the moutain and on the new hill to help break the monotony of only green trees. Maybe you recreate some dead trees standing without leaves or with brown leaves, broken trees that have fallen on the ground or on top of other trees that generate canopy openings, with dead wood on the ground with mushrooms decomposing it and faster growing vegetation due to sudden light availabilty. That would be a very realistic way to depict the forests around your City and would showcase natural processes happening all the time in forests!

[@Steves00gauge]

I absolutely love this channel, always look forward to a new update

[@victorialeahy-pm3oi]

Same!❤

[@khepri3266]

It’s really cool that your brother compliments your building skills with his coding skills. Also even my legs were getting sore just seeing you sit on those green baseplates.

[@jellin3607]

About that hill mountain thing you made, just an idea, from a lego designers point of view, i think you could eventually try implementing maybe paths and different textures so its not one big blob of green, adding some beige, greys, maybe even brown in there, if you *really* want to detail it

[@legobudterencestudios]

I love the german police porsche at 7:39

When landscaping, don't forget a lot of forest grounds and such are brown, especially around hills. The green is a bit overwhelming atm.

[@ETERNUM1.618]

Brother I'm a big fan but when will new video will come

[@laca9198]

Amazing. The lamps give an amazing vibe to the city, makes it more like a real city. Also I dont think that many vegetation needed between the 2 tracks at the station.

[@daveautzen9089]

Yes, moon base update coming up! I really enjoyed this update of course. I like the LEDs for the lighthouse; it looks amazing.

[@bobblebardsley]

I think the lighthouse looks fantastic, of the different options you showed, I think you made the best possible choice. It really looks like one rotating lamp. The night view with the streets lit up is really beautiful too, it's such a different vibe from the Wild West lighting and I think it all looks great!

[@The1stBrick]

Inside of the new mountain you should add a mine

[@tenma8797]

It’s a nice change to see destruction instead of creation of this Lego world.

[@IJm3]

In real life train tracks are usually weed sprayed so tend to have a lot less vegetation, would look good with some weathered looking gravel effect

[@TheRealLachlan]

Real life train tracks aren't usually made of plastic. Let him make it how he likes

[@mryessus752]

​@@TheRealLachlanhe is just proposing an idea

[@GuanoLad]

Maybe he could change the green plants to tan and nougat to make it look a little more ragged and dying.

[@geoffreyguestion2843]

​@@TheRealLachlanAnd plastic toys usually don't come with a day-night cycle with automatic lighting, the fuck is your point? He always tries to mimic real life in this project, he bothered to get the right numbers for the airport when most wouldn't even think about that.

@@TheRealLachlan he's going for realism so.

[@lemmymaster]

Bold way to start the video with you smashing part of the city.

[@dflamm210]

this channel has seriously become one of the best on youtube. I remember finding your channel a couple years ago before the museum move, and i gotta say the journey this project has taken is simply amazing! keep making updates and great content, and thank you for letting us be a part of it!!

[@talongaming7995]

This series keeps getting better and better :D my inspriation for my minecrat world thank you brickcrafts this is an amazing lego city series! the amount of details is crazy!

[@srenr645]

add a small hiking path up the mountain for hikers and animals and so on :)

[@BricksShowcase]

The lighthouse is awesome!

[@НесінБорис]

Somehow this mountain near the new tunnel looks strange. I am talking about the part between the tunnel and the tracks that go in pairs to the airport. This part of the mountain looks a little artificial, because it cuts off and turns too conveniently in front of these tracks. So it can be assumed that someone cut a part of the mountain in order to lay these tracks, but in this case there must be some kind of structure that will prevent soil and stones from sliding onto the rails. Because the physics of a mountain is a pyramid: the higher the mountain, the wider its base to hold the mass. Otherwise, landslides will begin at the place where the almost vertical part was cut, because there is no support for the soil.

[@the.Gremlin]

The city looks amazing. Love the lights

[@aardappel657]

I was waiting so long for an new legocity update I realy love your videos

[@SUNNY_nsm]

You can build miniature skyscrapers in the background. It’s as if you can see downtown in the distance. This way the boxes for the wires will be hidden. And the perspective will expand. If it’s not entirely clear, I can draw a sketch of what it might look like.

[@Mazzaspazza]

It looks absolutely insane with the lights off! The amount of progress and work put in to todays video is also crazy. Can’t wait for the next airport update! 😁😁

[@bgik12]

The city looks amazing with all the lighting features! it really comes to life at night.

[@HappyDude1]

I bet the clean up was fun after the smash 😁

[@KlockoweInspiracje]

I know it's hours for you but I would love to watch more and more 😊 Well done with lighting 👏

[@maximumlawncare1674]

Too make it really lively you could get a bunch of white noise machine and program them into certain area of the city. At the harbor you could have light waves crashing a seagulls and in the city you could have murmuring and traffic noise. On the county side you could have bugs chirping. Just an idea to add more immersion

[@PingSharp]

Idea: You could make a mansion in some rural area, with lots of older looking furniture such as a big library. Since the decorations inside the building would be mostly unnoticable from the outside, you could make some of the larger walls interactable (a sliding mechanism) to reveal the insides

[@davidmoore9945]

Love watching you build your city. You must have an engineers heart and mind. As your village has grown it has become a place that would be great to live in reality. Also, of the LEGO builders on KZbin, I love that you kick off the shoes and hop onto the table to build your city. Would love to learn more about you.

[@DogDoor1]

The lighting is so good looking

[@ashleyfisher1025]

Would love to have more videos on this series! It is painful waiting 2 weeks for each episode! Love the progress though, it looks great!

[@AeciusthePhilosopher]

The street lights have me thinking: if you can program individual homes so lights will go on and off during the night cycle (representing people going to bed or to the bathroom at night) that'd look awesome and give you the option to play with different lighting configurations (such as mostly just street lights vs street lights and building lights) during parts of the day.

[@NaturalTvventy]

Your builds are the most creative and aesthetically pleasing on KZbin.

[@neurathal0n534]

I love your channel so much! This is the only LEGO channel I watch, but it's just so captivating. Every time I see a new video I click on it instantly

[@TheProfessor-TB]

All I can say is that it was so satisfying watching you fit it all together.

[@patrickbarrett5790]

Holy cow! The lighting in night mode is bloody awesome. ✊🏻

[@WMARUoriginal]

These updates make me so happy! I would gladly watch a much longer cut of you building and testing lighting.

[@PNWBrickGirl]

Unreal. Just unreal. I just wish my brother wasn't on the other side of the country and we could team up to have him do the lighting like you have. Really awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@SaRaH_EC]

You should make some sort of car crash or robbery with police there! It would be pretty realistic and cool!

[@traindev1]

This truly is the joy of Lego isn't it? Something that can be as simple as building a cool car can be used to make a beautiful city or truly whatever you want, absolutely outstanding work as always, one of the best Lego cities I've seen!

[@flyingtoastr]

It's incredible just how good the lighting looks. Amazing work, as always!

[@canaanlouis]

Hey I think it would be cool to have a camera on the train and a TV in the corner of the room showing its perspective. You also could build a cool cave inside the train tunnel with led color crystals. And a mine outside the tunnel. Just some ideas

[@TheRealMerl]

I only found your channel recently and your city is stunning! After binge watching your previous episodes I couldn't wait to see more!

[@kevinturnr]

The lighthouse made me think… it could be really cool if you had a moving light like that a move the city with something in front of it to create en effect of clouds moving in front of the moon. I once lit a stop motion animated scene by doing something similar with what is called a ‘Cucoloris’.

[@matthewmichael1273]

[@bigboy55910]

Loveing the city's progress and the lights are awesome. 2 things for an idea, 1 have a building on fire with led lights, creating the flames, and the fire truck lights lit light up. 2 continue the trian tunnel around the corner a bit. Otherwise, people will be able to see in the middle of the mountain. Love the light and the ideas that you came up with

[@dudesuh]

It turned out so good! Really is such a well built city, and it's super cool that your brother is doing the light programming. Also the lighthouse looks really nicely lit up. Great job 👍🏻

[@davidvu6724]

you should put a mining operation in that big mountain area for more detail! I think that would be cool!

[@martazedbricks]

And this is applause 👏 to your work ! Really enjoy every video 😊

[@regularspejs]

idea: train tracks through the mountain connecting wild west and the city. On one end there is a modern train, and on the other it comes out as the old steam powered train. Program it so it looks seamless between the environments

[@Toblerone67s]

maybe you could make a sort of coal mine in the mountain as a little scene and put two or three lights inside

[@avavanpelt926]

I wish there was more types of green you could use for variation. All the flat one color of green (even with vegetation) makes it harsh on the eyes. But the build as a whole is so amazing and grand! The lack of variation on the color for the grass isnt super bad or ruining it at all. Thank you for sharing! I always love seeing the updates!

[@avavanpelt926]

Aaaaand after watching further I see you added more color through new vegitation pieces. My apologies on an early comment! I hope it didnt come across as rude!

[@shadowofhallows1]

I was about to panic when u threw the lego set at start but when you mentioned you was gonna extend it i was in relief.

[@danielrowe2119]

Your videos are becoming far too far between each upload. You’re one of my favourite channels. I’m speaking for the people, we NEED more!

[@KevinArellano69]

Mr. Crafts, you could use Duplo pieces to fill the insides of the mountains, if you would like to, of course.

[@aeroarcher6280]

Surely the light house should be lighting up the sea area. 🤔. How about using blue LEDs to give it a more night time vibe. Blank off the light to rear to avoid lighting the city up, and angle down/place at top as before to avoid lighting up western. Really fantastic build, can’t wait to see more.

[@johnnysharp2899]

[@jackblack5393]

I absolutely love this series and your channel. Big congrats for your success and skill. I wanted to make a suggestion for whenever you connect the train tracks between the city and the wild west. If you made a tunnel, you could make the city side modern as with the other ones, and then gradually change the aesthetic to something fitting the wold west exhibit. Then inside the tunnel / covered area, you could have a few track switches programmed so that when a modern city train comes in, it stays on the city track and an old locomotive version of it gets released into the wild west exhibit. This could be done smoothly by measuring the time it would take the train to appear on the other side of the tunnel, then the time it would take for the swapped train to appear and programming a delay between arrival and departure with the length of the difference between those. I think it would really help the immersion. As always looking forward to new updates. Take care

[@helter839]

If it would be possible to have a lego minifigure hold a small LED bulb, it would be cool to have a figure up on a ladder actively changing a lightbulb on a lamp, with another figure holding the ladder and a small toolbox on next to him!
