"Breaking the Square" LEGO Mountain Details!

[@heyyallbricks877]

I’m a daily viewer but rare commenter- the city is shaping up INCREDIBLY well. Continue building what YOU like, and the views and comments and subscribers will follow. The mountain is going to be incredible. I keep thinking about the giant city in the Lego House that has the mountain in the center- it makes such a great backdrop to that build. Yours may be even larger than that- can’t wait to see it, and look forward to following along in the process.

[@ChrisP-jq5lg]

Its a marathon, not a sprint. I'm in for the long haul and watching the entire process is what I like. I've already borrowed your idea of using the art technic plates for a layer inbetween BURPs on my mountain. So please keep going at your own pace. I have the patience to wait for the payoff.

[@ScottyDoesntKnow99]

Some people literally have no life complaining about a mountains in a lego city…..keep up the good work Jordan. I enjoy the video’s!

[@dimitrilafleur4467]

totally agree. i just enjoy watching the updates, and listening to his thought process.

[@PeterDavies-b8h]

Your whole city project is excellent. Keep up the good work. Don't let people get you down

[@cloudagent3099]

30 seconds in and had to pause to say I think what you’re doing is great. People need to calm down. It’s going to be a slow process to construct the mountains. Let’s just wait and enjoy the ride.

[@phxees]

I completely lost the thread at this point. Would be cool to get a rough map of the idea this is moving towards and show that at the start of each city video. It's difficult to maintain excitement in this format.

[@BricksandBuilds2011]

I agree this is one of the hardest processes of the lego city he's a skilled lego youtuber so I know it will turn out great 👍

[@GalacticBricker]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@TipperProject]

This is what Lego is all about!! Build, take apart, build again. Awesome progress from Bricksie, comparing this to even his work on the old campground can see improvements from an already amazing builder. People need to trust the process and love that's he's always getting better. Think some people who just build sets just build once and they have a perfect finished model, building custom is all about iteration.

[@smarqua2]

@@phxeesdisagree, I like the surprises re/ order of operations. Think he does a great job of balancing broad target discussion with small daily steps.

[@Bobb5555555555555555]

I think you should take this approach more often. The negative comments you get around your unfinished projects, despite you repeatedly saying its unfinished, seem to really wear on you. Maybe for each of these mammoth projects you are working on sprinkle in some snapshots of what it might look like fully completed. You might have to rework these parts in the future, but it would give a better idea of your ultimate vision and hopefully keep comments like that to a minimum

[@Angrist17]

Adding little bits of detail like this will also help with the planning and visualization. It can be really hard to figure out how exactly you want something to look, or how to build it to match your vision even when you do. Getting little pieces that you can look at for a couple of weeks and play around with will help mitigate large re-builds later.

[@celldweller69]

Or you know….just ignore the comment because it’s his city and he can do what he likes.

[@Bobb5555555555555555]

@@celldweller69 obviously I agree with that, but as much as the negative comments get brought up in different videos, that seems easier said than done. This seems like a super good way to help mitigate some of that so I think it’s worth encouraging

[@glennhealey3374]

I agree with most of these comments. But I know Bricksie always planed to do Base work and Fill in work bit by bit as you can. Apply resources as you have them including time...construction...um... oh I forgot this is

[@mickbrown7793]

It's nice to see a glimpse of what the rest of the mountain may look like later. it's all a work in progress, it'll always be a work in progress because that's what lego is like.

[@xK9000x]

First of all, I love your content and like seeing the progression from basement, to studio renovation and now the growth of the city to fill the new space. And while some criticism and sharing of ideas is good for the overall end result, dont let the negativity get to you. At the end of the day, you're the artist/sculptor of your own work, and most opinions are subjective. Also, after watching you for so long, it has given me the motivation to sort my giant bin of set from when i was a kid in the 90s and sell to the local brick and minifigs store. who knew first gen bionicle and old school castle/pirate sets were worth so much?!?

[@fu3g]

remember the reason you make the city modular is so that changes on the fly are possible and ez. already paying off with the mountain modules. that removal and remodel process was clean and enjoyable to watch. it's lego. nothing is set in stone.

[@maryhain7387]

Would love to see trail lead to a mountain glacier lake. Great start to your concepts.

[@gcgoose808]

This is a great idea. Maybe a small natural hot spring hole along the way too. A place to relax for those weary hikers

[@fisgrisen1585]

I wish there is some bridge over a cliff. Top of mountain could have more distinct peaks.

[@BiscuitBender]

That Mountain looks awesome! If you want to, you can add some Mountain bike jumps and trails. I think that would add some more details. But the city is looking really cool so far! I love it!

[@browneyedgirlgb1308]

It seems some people have issues with the idea of a”work in progress”. The revised mountain plate looks great. I’m now thinking cave with hibernating bears near the winter village, secret mine entrance, pot hole with speluking person emerging. I hope you are enjoying your building and not racing through it for viewers.

[@DuartJansen]

"But Bricksie, you need to add more detail to the mountain and it's too square!" I think he already explained at least 3 times that he's going to do the detailing later on after he's figured out his building placement. Also, of course the mountain is square on the rail side, the railway is usually carved out of the rocks and made as straight as possible. He still needs to add the rest of the mountain slope on the other side if the railroad near the camping ground.

[@michellemohlman]

Wow! I thought it looked great before! This looks amazing! You are an artist and Lego is your medium!

[@Elizabeth-foolishmortal]

It is going to be epic.

[@kanenstuff]

A large tree at the start of the trail would look good and it looks great it will be amazing once it's done.

[@littlelego]

Hello there, I had no idea that you wore prescription glasses (If they are). Anyway, I think you've explained way more than you need to that "This is NOT the finished product, but just a base structure" over and over, and over, and over, and over, to the point where if no one "gets it", either they're "dense" or they're new to the channel. You DO WHAT YOU want, its your city & your "LEGO Studio". People need to realize also that the mountain is not "set in stone" (PUN Intended....lol). You can only please some of the people some of the time cause everyone's a critic. Keep up the EPIC work!

[@GavinByrneLand]

Spectacular, and creative work as always. I'm excited for the rest of the mountain, this is going to be fantastic!

[@tonihall7810]

Omg people this is going to be a very long process. Be patient , remember bricksie you only have to please yourself . I think it’s looking amazing and look forward everyday to the next bit . Tfs

[@chrisjdavis2023]

Crazy how people will complain about it, looks great.The after looks awesome, looking forward to seeing what the mountain becomes. Since your bringing in a trail and looking for an idea, you can always look to add a pop of another color which would be a small waterfall with a tiny pond for those on the trail to go look at.

[@StacksOnBricks]

Like with the water, the effect of the lights above on the rocks gives off such a fantastic shimmer. That mountain detail is incredible mate!!

[@stevenmarshall8529]

Mountain looks great - anyone who’s been watching for any length of time should understand that it’s a process (and an enjoyable one to watch).

[@JulieS261]

Some people don't have much imagination if they can't visualise what you are trying to do. I understand the reasons why you have basic structure as it will save you time later on if you want to change things. Also it's your Lego City so if people don't like they way you are doing things, they should just go and build their own city the way they want to.

[@nicolenguyen5298]

The mountains are looking great! Cant wait to see it as the progress goes on..

[@PredHunter83]

Great result

[@briangarber4232]

I don't expect your massive city to be finished for years, and I'm looking forward to seeing each plate developed as you go. No rush. The mountain details looks great, and I hope you don't add any structures to it since some natural areas with no people or buildings make it more true to life.

[@Daniel-legobuilder]

The finalised rockwork looks absolutely amazing!! 😮😊❤

[@matthewlathom8314]

I love your videos! You really have a talent building with lego! I don't like that you run out of pieces but jumping around and doing different stuff like you do makes it nice for the viewing experience. At least I think so! Even though focus in one area could be more efficient, I think the goal is endless content and to have fun/do what you want to do! A certain percentage of commenters don't have the builder mindset, some can't visualize,and some wont be happy with any outcome. Its going to be hard to get things to not have straight lines and not have a square look when it should be modular and changeable. Possibly in the future mountains can be somewhat rearranged, slid over one baseplate or whatever a future bricksie might wanna do! Also I really like seeing parts used from the store pab because it makes me feel like I can follow and be inspired by how you use those pieces!

[@calebrichards1362]

First time commenting.Obviously people complaining haven't seen a mountain or railroad next to one.mountains are very vegetation filled until the higher altitudes not as many rocks and boulders as you might think and the railroad company would have dug out to make the rails as level as possible which with how the rails are going would naturally make a long straight cliff. Keep making the mountain how you like Bricksie keep up the good work 👍

[@Rashuric]

You are doing great on your base of the mountain. When you get to the details, I think you need to think about adding a Fire Watch tower somewhere on your mountain...

[@mattscott8961]

Looks fantastic! Love watching the speed builds... younare an inspiration Bricksie! ❤❤❤

[@shanehenderson8593]

Dude you crushed this. Nice adjustments and Looks amazing !

[@andregundel3345]

You should build something just out of panels, rock pieces and any other sorts of premoulded pieces to pay an homage to the origins of Lego and to share that experience with all the haters of square Lego. You did a good job with the mountain. I think you don’t need to worry about having taller trees on a mountain if you put the at lower altitudes and then decrease the tree height as you go up, it’ll only look natural.

[@rharb76]

I love how your city is coming along.

[@thegriffin2645]

After seeing how good that looks, I can’t wait until you fully detail the mountains!! It’s going to look awesome! Keep it up Bricksie!

[@dthom1030]

Looks incredible!!

[@AthenaKing-lg2yt]

Looking Awesome , Love seeing you working on the different areas everyday. Looking forward to the camp ground.

[@Slamdance3535]

This section looks crazy good, the final thing is going to be great. Maybe you could add a little pool or pond somewhere?

[@tubbsy58]

Do the viewers of this channel not pay attention and listen. This is a very time consuming process. Takes time and thought to develop these areas of the city. Why don't we all enjoy what Jordan is doing and stop bashing on the man for what he is doing the way way he wants to in his lego city. I think it coming together nicely and the process is cool and interesting to watch.

[@shawnhuston8637]

Your mountain is starting to look good!! But in the end you are going to use a lot of parts!!!😊

[@sinsayne_5137]

just gotta trust the process yall

[@JayneHughes-yy1hp]

Keep up the good work and ideas, bigger space as we know takes time and putting your ideas into your city. Enjoy your journey building your new layout however much time it takes. Hi to your family too 😊

[@lynnelewis9605]

Hi there that looks great it makes so much difference so everyone has a different way of building lego and your building something very large like others do and it's not just building u got to think of the layout as well buying lego it all takes time at the moment its just u doing it all so it takes longer to do so sweetie keep what u r doing that makes u happy that's y u r building lego well done I love watching the build u do.x

[@cubster98]

That’s so sick!! I can really see what you’re going for with the mountain now, can’t wait for it to be finished

[@ssist01]

people need to calm down with comments about mountains. It's his city! he can do whatever he wishes to do, as you can do whatever you want in your own city.

[@DragoTKK]

woo this little result is AMAZING !!!

[@idomoshe]

Beautiful! Love the content lately.

[@LiamTighe-v6d]

It looks incredible! Glad you angled the corner more. Keep up the great work!

[@jobspeakcrochet]

Hey everyone I’ve got a question for y’all are you guys Lego builders or own a KZbin channel business, if your not you can’t criticize and give negative feedback have respect this is his business let him be and let him do what he needs to do.

[@connorholm6463]

It'd look super cool having a lake up in between the mountains!

[@christopherhayward2416]

You should add castle ruins somewhere on the mountain down the line!

[@azure1259]

Superb improvement.

[@Persona_Brick]

You make me impatient for your next video every day, such great work man! ❤

[@cas3157]

Great mountain update. I like it a lot.

[@warrennewman5325]

Great detail on the mountain done job there bricksie 🍕

[@SEBASTiEN33]

You should put the A-Frame on top of that mountain, would look really good personally

[@cath4676]

Love the new details. The mountain is going to look amazing when finished 😁

[@JamieCox-c2p]

Dont let them get you down bro... love love love what you do man! Got my own ahhh tad smaller city. Thankyou from Australia

[@lemxam1303]

Wow! It looks very, VERY, awesome! It also looks so small when placed 😂.

[@kayfse8373]

Jordan, this mountain that you are building is looking awesome. ❤

[@ACSF007]

Looking sick so far. I’m honestly surprised Lego hasn’t offered you a job as like a MOC builder for Lego Land.

[@Monki101]

Looking good! 👍🏼

[@Lee1978R]

Looks amazing I’m glad you showed us what you’re kinda going for with the mountains. It does give us a visual look into your mind ❤

[@glynisf]

Dang. Great work on the mountain plate!

[@josephbuell5192]

I like the square, I like this, I love Bricksie's judgement

[@joostvandenbogert9616]

Awesome build!

[@daveandrews5485]

Looks really good. The only comment I would make is the brown trail across the rock looks like a land slide. Maybe use lighter grey blocks to show the rocks have been worn by people walking up and down that area. Just a suggestion. 🙂

[@marcdonnellan8730]

Love the trail, be cool to see it branch off in different directions

[@alexzachary3527]

Looking fantastic man!

[@anwargorham]

New detail looks great, the mountain will be incredible!

[@nearly_reckless_nick]

You are good! We know that the average youtube viewer has the patience and attention span of a 5-year-old. Your approach of explaining it to them patiently but directly in simple terms over and over again is exactly the right approach here. You have Supernanny vibes!

[@puckturkey]

Great improvement

[@gregorytaylor4903]

Like they say,"trust the process" it looks good and some people will criticize just to criticize no matter what you do. Any ways,I always enjoy watching and thank you for the inspiration

[@ericp6308]

Great job. A suggestion to improve the zoo & mountain. Some animal pens could be built to but up against the mountain so they could climb & perch on the faces of some of the rocks vs a glass enclosure. Of coarse a fence/net would be needed to keep them from escaping. I think you also could use the stream in the zoo to make a swamp habitat for the gators. Another suggestion. In front of the zoo extend the pavement past the loop to the end of the zoo then have it turn to the boat ramp. Remove the road adjacent to the beach area and use it to build more beach or fishing buildings. I would almost suggest realligning the road and train by the board walk. You could eliminate that road and put the train track behind the 1st row of buildings. Pull the buildings closer to boardwalk. Who wouldn't love oceanfront views without overlooking a road or track? Just suggestions, it's fun watching the progress.

[@ericp6308]

Also from the zoo to mountain comment. A bear den int the zoo going into the mountain would be a fun addition.

[@CountryLongboarding]

Looks amazing!! Can’t wait to see the bear cave near the zoo at some point

[@mcbou33]

Looks awesome can’t wait to see the rest

[@robertdurrance8161]

i really like the mountain finished design. i hope you put creeks or caves inside mountain

[@ellycat5703]

A couple of small 'cave entrances' in the mountain would add possibilities for little stories

[@MrStorm009]

New mountain with details looks amazing

[@byronshirley516]

From minute 6 to 8 you're like I'm going EFF YOU MODE, I'll show YOU plain green and grey. And it looks great!

[@lindabeede5180]

Again a great update to the city!! Can't wait to see animals in the woodsAa

[@ezramirowitz9439]

The new mountain looks so good, keep doing what you’re doing!

[@kingukulit4597]

as a long time viewer and fan, trust the process, trust the bricksie...it always turns out awesome

[@beastyla-co3zk]

love it!

[@grahamburchell1]

Could you do some sort of cave on the front of the mountain plates by zoo access hole or rock climbing ..?

[@djtreston]

🥳 looks epic!! I think this was just enough to desquare it 👍

[@theshelbianfox7195]

It's a great mountain Jordan! Nice work

[@somebody.387]

hello jordan! when you mentioned potentially placing a structure on the mountain section you detailed, you could maybe put an outhouse there!

[@Advisorblogger]

I like the additions it looks nice and as you have said not done. Folks have decided what the end result is and it seems like youre not even halfway there...cant wait to see the peak looks like

[@Parz_Moon_Water]

It's YOUR MOUNTAIN! Make it whatever colors and style you want it to be! I got your back Bricksie.🥰

[@JBGameplay]

That sure is a nice first piece of the mountain! :D

[@bpbill2000]

Love it

[@charleslamar4861]

Future plans(?). What grows underground? Mushrooms, Bricklink series 2 has a Mushroom house. Could you build it inside the Mountain. But (there's always a but) Bricklink series 5 is offering a mushroom village so make enough (mush)room for both.

[@graylagran7443]

It looks amazing! Even when it was square it was still amazing 💚💚💚

[@markraisner9000]

Looking very good!

[@richardkieser9468]

If you add some technic with a hole add a pin and you can have a mini fig rock climbing.

[@RobertoRicciardelli33]

Just finished up a mountain myself but just on a smaller scale. I don’t know what the issue is, it’s a process and you don’t have an endless supply of pieces! Just continue making great videos 👍

[@AndyKotz]

Hey man, that loooks soooo good

[@bambino920]

Could put a little ticket booth/ mountain shop near the/ start of the trail..

[@djc2526]

This looks almost perfect! I would say no more trees here and they should get denser as you go up, and then thin again at the mountain peak. Fun video.
