LEGO City Mountain Skeleton Structures | Platforms for Tunnels | What's Next

In this LEGO city update I create the skeleton structure for the next section of mountains! To do that I had to cut some more wood for raised platforms that will host the car tunnels and MILS plate over 25 more baseplates. The skeleton structure are not done yet... but in order to continue I have to add more wood structures and MILS plates.. Then once all that is taken care of I can start developing the mountains!

This is going to be so sick when it's finally done, I cant wait to see how it grow into its final incarnation

[@Daelmn]

That's the fun part. It's never done.

[@jackiehopkins931]

It is looking very good. You might want to work on the winter village since Christmas is a little over 2 months away. Your last Christmas village looked very cool. Plus congratulations on the Time magazine article.

[@annev3301]

If this is a daily project of his: working on the mountain’s structures, wood structures etc. the winter village could potentially be finished before we’ll know it with, just in time for Christmas😊

[@Mr_sanders5]

You need cliffs! Similar to the ones you featured in Denmark

[@okaydrod]

agreed

[@ygnir1]

If you're gonna do a cave, a Wayne Manor with a batcave underneath would be insane!!

[@detim019]

a modified shadowbox could be neat

[@TipperProject]

Yeah have the shadowbox integrated in where the access hole is so covers that bit of wood structure

[@Persona_Brick]

Yes

[@rosemorrison7075]

Hi Bricksie. Some great work on the elevations of the mountain range! Personally I would like to see you finish the skeletal structure of the mountain section and then get back to the zoo, train yard, and the winter village.

[@jamesfiore5770]

I would to see more space allocated towards the Air Strip. An extended strip and an old rustic looking hanger would be a really great touch

[@yoloswagthuglifeselfie568]

I love Bricksie!

[@scotty9776]

The elevation is amazing. Adds such a new dynamic. Keep going!!

[@Metalizer]

please 🙏 Jordan find a way, strength and bricks to fully build and light up the tunnel IT WILL BE DOPE as heck I really would like to see it

[@yo-yo_77]

That would actually be sick, looking inside/through it would be awesome!! 🔥

[@tomjendra9733]

love watching these mountains starting to develop

[@simonhollander6083]

Looking awesome!! Why don't you try visualizing the mountains by using some random cardboard boxes? This way you can quickly play around with the heights and volumes of the mountain before building it in Lego. Keep up the great work!

[@malcolmparnell5698]

Have your caves close to the access holes. Like the mountain has been cut through by the access points. That would look amazing & possibly make blending easier as you would be able to go straight up from those points.

[@malarveelikrishnan637]

Bricksie you should build diorama in the cave

[@kill3rtravo]

Hopefully you can get the winter village done by Christmas! It would look awesome to get some lights in it too.

[@thorn0581]

I'd work on the two train tunnels as well as the road tunnels. It will be easier to adapt your plates and slopes for the mountains around the tunnel entrances that to try and retrofit them after the fact. That with the wood work and mils plates should give you a framework for building the mountains

[@jonathanmarquez7717]

Dude, make one of the access holes look like a giant valcano. So whenever you pop out of the insert hole, it’s like here comes monster Bricksie!!! Aarrrggghhh!!

[@isabellerininger6249]

I love seeing milsplating and all the building, tedious or not. It’s realistic effort to make the magic happen. And gives us realistic ideas for process. Great video!

[@LaurenAlley]

Excited to see the winter village and ski slope! That’s what brought me to your channel last year 😁

[@thenateman5268]

Winter village.. get it ready for Christmas!!

[@topher9507]

My suggestion on building all of those platforms, hills, mountains etc.. is either start in the middle and work out, or start at the edge and work in. Might be easier and will have a better idea on placement and different height elevation.

[@erindrew8062]

I think it with the wood structure is a great approach. Build the foundation and then go from there.

[@callum-td4bz]

It would be so cool if you could incorporate hogsmeade village in to the mountain going up to the winter village, be more like a hanging, hidden, magical village

[@FlatDerrick]

Because you have the holes for you to stand up and access the city in, you could very easily build a mine into the mountain that is viewable as a cutaway from that position. Would be very cool and unique.

[@rizar1982]

Daily dose of lego awesomeness!

[@CountryLongboarding]

continue with the mountains!! Just roughing it out like you have will terraform the countryside that much more the next go around

[@lindabeede5180]

This looks so absolutely fantastic!! Great progress!! I wish this was my job!!

[@m2w571]

I think you should continue building the base of the mountain, i think that finished would look epic and gives you a good insight for the rest of your build

[@shawnhuston8637]

Your city looks great 👍. I like it. Build on the mountains!! I think that would look good 😊😊.

[@ollenberger4]

Remember mountains have natural spurs and draws, they aren’t just a singular ridge line, may help with the depth and make it less square ish

[@braithlovett6044]

Needs a farm and airport!

[@zerosixtwentytwo]

imagine a bike park, like a MTB park going down some of the mountain! : O excited to see how the mountain tuns out!

[@joostvandenbogert9616]

Also, can't wait to see the connection between the above ground world and the subway system!

[@Motlier]

Personally I'd love to see the entire railroad done so you can use all the sections of it, but I suppose the most important part must be getting the winter village ready for Christmas?

[@lordsjaak]

you need also build some caves for animals or story related?

[@tonihall7810]

The observatory up on a mountain is going to be awesome .

[@pikapower5791]

Idea for the gaps in the tables. Maybe have it seem like there is something supposed to be there and build the mountain like that and have stories in the mountain. Like they are making another path through the mountain or maybe something with the power miner sets

[@barbarjinx3802]

For ease of access you should start with the highest point and/or in the middle of the raised area.

[@tytinn9141]

I think building more wood so you can see the total height even in middle may be a good approach

[@annev3301]

Yes, and then skeleton building, mountain crafting (not fully detailed but just the basic) and then the Winter village so that can be enjoyed just before Christmas!

[@caloutaro]

Hey!! I can't wait to see the mountain! I love your build style, I think you could do as you say the lower wood structure and terraformed those wood a lego structure with simple green brick before the detailing. I'm so hyped to see the big mountain to take shape! Good job for today!!😊

[@stephbysteph72]

Hey Jordan! Love the mountain skeleton…can’t wait to see the evolution!👍🏼 A wood coverted bridge could be great in the mountains where is your train tracks (with the double up elevation!) Keep up the good work buddy!👍🏼✌🏼

[@dougdavis9438]

I think a train that goes from the winter village, using a lot of curved tracks, zig zags down the mountain, ending in the town somewhere. Motorized the winter village tram to go back and forth.

[@GuanoLad]

I like the idea of the railway track going through a cutting/valley with a bridge across it. That sounds like a great plan!

[@timgomolka644]

When you do the tunnels you could make them proper tunnels by putting tiles, lights etc. They could have rock walls so it looks like they have been carved out of the mountain.

[@Angrist17]

I like where this is going with the elevation starting to come together. The tunnel entrances have a lot of potential to be really unique features. The train line is going to look *really* good with some raised areas on both sides through a section of it. I'm picturing a train-cam shot running through that valley and under a bridge ... epic.

[@Adam42060]

Going to look amazing in a few months closer to a year. Going to look so different in a few years

[@Pat005pro]

The plan seems very cool and ambitious. Would you consider doing these platforms out of Lego in the future once you finish the city and acquire more pieces? Can't wait to see what you do next!

[@bikingwithemily1109]

Watched while eating Arby's in my Jeep right after going to the largest lego store in Canada with my dog about to get ready for the Jets vs Oilers home opener, iv been falling behind on your video 😅 that mountain is going to look crazy cool

[@schroederfjeremy]

I have some ideas for the inset tunnel. Check out Highway 61 tunnels in MN through the iron range. The color would be easy to work with the Lego dark grey.

[@Jellede]

0:19 if there is enough space, perhaps a separate train track could be built in and around the mountain

[@blakewordlow7632]

Congrats on the Time Magazine!

[@jeffhart8921]

Hi jordon.ive been a fan a long time . I lost thousands of dollars of my lego collection to hurricane helene last week. We were without power or water for 7 days . Now I have to restart my collection. Your city is amazing and I have watched it grow from the start

[@FunnyBlockFilms]

Oh no!!! I am SO sorry 😭😭😭, that is horrible…… I want to cry. I am so sorry about your collection, I hope you can build it up again. I will be praying for you 💕

[@jeffhart8921]

@@FunnyBlockFilms thank u so much

[@MysteryKoshka]

Oh man I’m sorry to hear that. Where are you located? Will insurance help with any of the LEGO? Is any of it salvageable?

[@ryleyw3684]

Aw that sucks, worse part is I bet you had sets from through the years that would be hard to replace. Hopefully there's something like someone said insurance can do something

[@jeffhart8921]

@@MysteryKoshka western nc. And no it was swept away with flood water. There isn't a trace of my lego to be found

[@GeFuryy]

Watching you build this up has been crazy, a cool idea at 9:24 could be to have the trail look as if it's going around a small mountain lake (the lake being non existent because that's where you're standing) Echo Lake, Colorado is what I"m picturing

[@warrennewman5325]

time lapes art baseplates came in handy for new mountain awesome update 🍕

[@cubbiesrules]

You should incorporate a mini Mines of Moria in your mountain.

[@matttrent922]

I still think this city is missing a proper airport and terminal. I think it could be cool if an airport was built almost below/ near the winter village. You have rail near there as well so it’s like direct access 😁

[@KarenGraham-l5d]

Hi Bricksie! You are doing such an amazing job, so exciting to see the city slowly take shape! I was wondering if maybe an idea would be to put the amusement park on the campground side since usually they are off the beaten path anyway. Then you could have more room for your city and residential buildings! Just a thought but loving what you are doing! 😊

[@ColossusCounsel]

Looks Bricktastic!

[@Southeastbricks1986-xn9yd]

Keep going with mountains they look so cool

[@SomethingJapanese]

It’s going to be awesome man! Can’t wait to see the next episode

[@siimkornel8028]

I would really love to see the name bricks as a wall behind the winter village hill. Imagine if you would enter from the back door and see all your supporters names welcoming you. And some pop of color under white hill at an unexpected place 🙃

[@strangekilt.1]

Build up to build down start at the top so then you know what you have to build with 😮

[@joostvandenbogert9616]

Somewhere in your city you should have a partly opened MILS plate where construction work shows the underground infrastructure of sewage, water, etc

[@anagabrielabecerradavila318]

Rome wasn't built in a day and Bricksie City can take as long as it takes to be perfect. You've started some great changes, I know you have the inspiration and perseverance to make it happen. I love watching your videos and seeing the progress day by day...

[@remichambon1593]

Cool cool cool !! Better with wood structure in my opinion... you will save money, bricks and a lot of time !!! This will be epic!!! Thanks Jordan for making us dreaming ❤

[@ColossusCounsel]

the topmost mountain could be like the WC quidditch stadium as seen in the Goblet of Fire, could be a football stadium/ice hockey or a quidditch stadium. perhaps having the secret Batcave in there too would be amazing, what say y'all?

[@TheDutchStarWarsGuy]

In terms of what you should tackle next: the bottom of the mountain aka the countryside. Start with making the hill so that you know what you're building towards with the mountain. Love your work, keep it up!

[@scottc3270]

No were to go but up ! lol try starting bring the Winter village settting so you can see how it will look with snow base plates ,Will you be adding that Dragon wtaerfall from Ninjargo to that setting use the Dragon waterfall set as the water that running down to the countyside ?

[@johnvocatura]

A possible idea could be some detail work in a more finished section of the city. If you need a break from the mountains and hills.

[@paulhowell1534]

A gold mine would look great in them their hills, bit of panning for gold in the river, plus the general store I think you have and not built yet? You could also possibly use the black art plates vertically and add pieces to them that way as a possibility? It’s looking great mate great effort

[@katdg1447]

Personally i think doing all the wood structures would be better. It would be a hassle to take out the saw and tables multiple times. It allows you to create the base and then you can go into perfecting each section. Especially if you plan to have the winter village done by December/Christmas. You have about two months!

[@liamshustle]

Simply incredible! Can really start to picture how it's going to be, keep up the great work :)

[@goldo87]

I’d love to see you build in a cave with some Easter eggs maybe some bones and old fire pit some gold ya know stuff like that

[@drakervon]

I love the improvements so far for the Lego City. Here are a few ideas :: NEXT raise Country Side Twice working toward the Mid Raised platform in front of the Winter Village. Go up one Block more (2 BLOCKS Tall) for the next half of Country side THEN on the back 48x48 go up to (3 BLOCKS Tall - for Far Back Country Side) THEN add you Mid height Platform (Half height of Winter Village). You can save the back corner near wall and Village for (Ski Slopes to go down to (3Block height) of the Far back Country side. Keep up the wonderful work / play. Let me know what you think. 😎

[@ytzpilot]

Bricksie is building my dream city thanks for posting daily ❤

[@TheBrickeryLego]

Looking great! Have you considered separate train loops on the elevated platform. World look really cool with trains going around the mountain side! Same with vinter village. Christmas train around it!

[@scarson216]

Have you thought about moving the residential section to either the top on the countryside side by the winter village and the downtown extend all the way to the amusement park.

[@williamewen383]

I want taller mountains. Like the ones you showed us at the lego house, billund.

[@gauvin9]

A speed champion race track that goes under the mountain space and the country side - Lego cars need to go fast - I know room is a concern but half the Indy car tracks go in tunnels and most have elevation like in Monaco - you could build the ultimate Bricksie Speedway

[@CesarSanchez-gh7jy]

Hey @Bricksie, yesterdays video when you were showing off the awesome sets at the new Lego store got me thinking about how awesome a stadium would be in your city. If you could find a way to implement it into your city, I think it would fit your story really well cause every major city has a sports team

[@SimoneChiaretta]

You need to put some cliffs and add some rock climbing scenes

[@rolout2233]

ton of duplo brick would be also good idea to biuld a moutain

[@xcentricbricks8388]

Jordan why don't you use the 2 inch insolation foam you can save alot of pieces. The foam can be stacked up and they hard ,you can cut it with a foam hot wire

[@Joshandjenaregoingcamping]

I think a farm in the countryside would be cool!

[@guymartin763]

The mountains may look good but will consume a lot of space for just the inclines of the slopes where you won't be able to put Lego sets. Not a problem now but will be as you get more sets.

[@ifoundmyfingerboard]

Super excited to see where the mountain goes. Are you going to build out the train tunnels. I think it would be worth it for the POV videos

[@duder_bricks6577]

Maybe one day: a cave or mine scene under the winter village?

[@juscozcustoms]

have you thought about putting in a downhill mountain bike park on the side if your mountain?

[@northdiecast3786]

Hi Jordan, will you fix the train track that is hanging over the access hole? Just start the track switch pass the access hole and curve the track back where you want it under the mountain. It looks very weird to have a track hanging over an access hole.

[@michaelrobinson1806]

when you said "car tunnel" my mind went right to BUILD A BAT CAVE! haha great work!

[@jonathanheiser2618]

A mountain is set in stone.... excellent dad joke without even trying. 10/10.

[@AfoLUk]

I would get rid of all the wood structure's and build the mountains out of technic brick. You would beable to create better elevation with technic brick because there are so many different sizes to choose from.This way everything on top of the tables is only lego. And maybe build a giant mountain in the middle with the winter village on the top. And trains coming out of the mountain below going in different directions. Servicing different parts of the city.

[@mikeymansome]

I was wondering where are you planning to place your sick MOC mansion? Can’t wait for more

[@dylanthomaskoot5974]

maybe you can make the tunnels the same way you made youre wizzards tower

[@bugnokumaguy]

Get some of the new sonic minifigs and make a small "green hills zone" as an Easter egg

[@space_panda9821]

Make a peak like the paramount mountain or Everest please

[@joostvandenbogert9616]

I can see you place a few more 100k piece orders within the next 9-12 months!

[@BVamp123]

"T" your track at the one tunnel, and cut yourself some blocks - one of each piece as templates so you can just mark the new cuts and do them fast....

[@mattiamontanari]

Are you planning to build the “interiors” of the train and car tunnels?

[@wasiimd]

Get most of the wood done before the Canadian winter hits! (Are you cutting outside? I can’t remember from last episode)

[@bobbeckman3735]

Try using forced perspective in your model. That is making things that are supposed to be in the distance at a slightly smaller scale so that they appear to be further away than they actually are. Video games do this all the time. For example, making a skyscraper in the back of the city that is smaller in scale will fool the eye into thinking it is larger and further away than it actually is. Have to be careful to keep it from looking strange
