This is by far his best LEGO city! Still can’t believe how much space he’s got!

[@thomasgeurts1827]

Dirtroads have pit as well, don't forget to sink a 2x2 plate 1 plate lower here and there or something like that 😊

[@SchroederOutlaw525]

Just a suggestion because I see a small flaw in your river/creek. Both sides are coming from down hill in a loop, they needs to run to the main body of water in the front. From the glaciers to the ocean, water runs downhill. Cheers, keep up the great work!

[@SchroederOutlaw525]

Also forgot might be fun for viewer interaction. On certain things in the city, putting it up to a vote! This way viewers get to put in some input.

[@brawlstarsshortsyt]

Don’t worry about what other people think about you printing more bins. If you feel like it go for it. ( I think it will be great)

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Yeah true when it comes to the printing. I guess Manny not thinking when thay new to it. It's the hour s an how much power you burning an. The price on how much spending. Or is it. Werth it or cheeper to just buy. From a shop. What you whant. To print. Cas so Manny thing people print .is cheeper from a shop. But.

[@bradgamwell3584]

I keep imagining some underground Lego creatures living under all your MILs work😄

[@truebnb]

Lego mole tunnels under the MILS plates lol Could be an interesting idea to just go ahead and hide some little Lego animals in there as Easter eggs.

[@joostvandenbogert9616]

The large green pasture-like area looks great... a farm with farm land, some cattle and a few builds! Don't clutter it too much, emptiness balances out the congestion elsewhere in your city

[@HaroldDanR]

I hear you on not being able to see or appreciate all the finer details of the inside of the MILS plates, BUT I would argue good design is meant to obscure the functional in favor of aesthetics. Being able to make something so complex look so simple is a good thing!

[@natalyabaich4006]

Thank you for another fun and informative video. I love what you and Mrs. Bricksie did with the storage bins. They are going to look magnificent once you have them all completed. Great job! I also like the way you are creating your gravel roads. They look realistic. I love hearing your explanations and reasonings regarding how you are proceeding with each section of your City. I learn so much from you even though I am not a LEGO builder. Keep up the fantastic work! Please say hello to Mrs. Bricksie, Ben, Millie, and of course, the fur babies.

[@Southeastbricks1986-xn9yd]

Well done Jordan this project is looking great it’s really satisfying to see all the parts sorted too 😁

[@tonihall7810]

The burrow with a small corn field all round it would be awesome. Looking forward to some more country and mountain s . Tfs

[@brawlstarsshortsyt]

Bricksie, maybe you should add glass panels on the outer facing plate of the road to act as a viewing window to illustrate the complexity of the epic structure! 25:36

[@brawlstarsshortsyt]

I know it will look less professional but at least you’ll be able to see the “Skelton inside “of the plate.

[@truebnb]

@19:10 instead of having the whole width step up one plate at a time in a uniform way, I'd recommend stagger some of the 4x4 just to break up those lines. Would take less bricks later to add some extra bumpiness to the road.

[@PleegWat]

Definite agree with taking the dirt road up plate-by-plate. You can smooth it out further with greebling - more studs on the lower plate and more plates on the upper one.

[@josephharrison5639]

I’ve been 3D printing haulers and garages for nascar diecasts and I asked the same question. The answer is keep going the more you work the system into your life the more natural it’ll become 10:03 what if you started your uphill at the bridge there make this side more gradual than the other side. Put the far end(far from city) at ground height with no ramp up. Cars can take a steeper slope than trains so the road slowly raising above the trains would look nice 12:57 it’s a gravel road they’re not known for being smooth

[@MomentsOftheMagic]

For the road, put the plate on a hinge to have it sit at an angle and then you can do the gravel on top of that😊

[@erikmeltzer-rt7rh]

What might be nice in the hilly countryside is a quarry. Essentially a big light blueish gray gash in the green. Couple of quarrymen, lorries, cranes ...

[@scotty9776]

I agree you have the printers, and you go to the studio every day. Why not just have your standard boxes printing all the time. As long as you have the spool of plastic. It does just make sense, use the tech you have. I love all aspects of your studio!!

[@lindabeede5180]

The way you build is so interesting and makes me stop working just to watch your videos!!

[@ryleyw3684]

For the gravel road incline you could maybe use the round slopes on the edges of the step up. Depends how it would look though, you would still be able to add some of the studs to it

[@mjdaniel4738]

You should make a couple of farm fields… at least one, with rows of a crop such as corn or something. Also an orchard with rows of trees.

[@sapandesai961]

Instead of a plain green edge on the edge of the countryside, some rock panels as the height increases would help taper the country side to the edge of the city table and save you green bricks!

[@Angrist17]

Even just brown and grey bricks on the edge would be fine. That'd look like the edge was just a vertical slide out of the ground.

[@Bricks_Tube]

Truly amazed by all you manage to accomplish in a single day ! The city, the content, the collection, it’s hude man

[@shorey66]

Surely Duplo brick would be great for supporting the countryside? Cheap, plentifully available and takes you up two bricks at a time.

[@logansmith2703]

I would recommend just slowly replacing the trays. No reason to make it a big thing but slowly printing to make your storage more efficient would be great

[@patrickh6813]

Suggested video: have a monthly or bi-monthly overview of your city so we can see overall progress. Enjoying the videos, keep it up!

[@JulieS261]

Maybe you can put a train station near the camp ground for any backpackers or those who don't have a car. The train station can also be used to access the winter village.

[@seanfisher295]

Absolutely love watching your progress! Can’t wait to see more!

[@martindms77]

I still think you should eliminate the road going between the zoo and the forest. Having the mountain tunnel as the only way to connect the two sides of the city seems more realistic. Maybe even add a little county train platform. Just some ideas. Keep up the great work 👍

[@zoeys3346]

As a way to save some green pieces, use some grey along the road like natural outcroppings of rock. Roads are built immediately beside massive rocks all around where i live thanks to mountain roads and coal Mines. Just an idea!

[@ShedCityBricks]

I would probably also go for the staircase effect to elevate the dirt road, but maybe not make it so straight. Because now it really does look a bit like a staircase. I would mess around with the hight/position of the plates a bit more so you don't always have the harsh straight lines.

[@sapandesai961]

Would love to see a lake in the mountains

[@PaPasBricks]

Just a thought, because you are elevating a lot of the country side/ mountain area you can run the train tracks throughout,maybe tunnels here and there, maybe go over small bridges over liver and thou the woods

[@kill3rtravo]

I would use those 1x2 modified plates with the technic pin hole on the bottom for the slopes. Allows you to customize the angle and still texture the top without the harsh cliffs every couple inches.

[@13BC30]

I think if you go with the stacked plate approach for the roads it won’t look as odd once you cover it all with the detail. The rock/gravel will mask the height changes, especially from overhead angles. Plus you could stagger the edges with smaller 1x1/1x2 plates under the gravel detail

[@fu3g]

i like the idea of the creek having some variation in the width. sick video.

[@Angrist17]

The elevation is really nice. The resulting grade is the kind of gradual incline we see all the time in the real world. It'll be interesting to see the curve with the rest of the wedge plates in place. Right now it looks like it goes from straight in one direction to straight in another with a sharp angle in between. Having a transition in wedge sizes and orientations should fix it right up though.

[@user-ez2iv6di8s]

The 3d printer is very cool. You are one lucky guy that you have that much Lego I would love to see your Lego city 😊

[@Mpk42069]

i NEED you to look into gridfinity for the 3d printed drawers, I was skeptical but the functionality and stackability is insane

[@stormclearer]

I think if you embed the road further when it meets the stream, it will look even more epic with the creek at the bottom, then the bridge over the creek, then the top of the mils plate

[@cloudagent3099]

Great insights in to your building techniques. Nice video.

[@heathkeefer4938]

I think you should try making your steps up less uniform. Also, you might try using train track to model the curves so your corners don't seem like a sharp 90° angle.

[@christopherhayward2416]

Have your gravel road plate go up like your train track does on the front right of the city. Use a longer base plate that you put the detail on top of but with one side one plate higher than the other side.

[@dianneford6893]

I guess you really wanted Kevin's collection, one day you show us the new Brickbin and the next you show us Kevin's collection and somewhere in there we learn that Kevin did the graphics for the Brickbin and yet Kevin didn't sell his collection to them. Anyway I'm sure you will find a spot or use for it all. Loving the landscaping tutorials, this might just be the year that my Christmas village buildings do more than just sit on a baseplate. Well one of them at least.😂

[@Krypto_Bricks]

12:35 I’d recommend just using plates at an angle to create the slope. You could use technic pins at the corners to “rotate” the plate down or up slope instead of them just resting loosely

[@timmy-bd6ul]

Build a mine on top of the mountains

[@chris-qw7nr]

The gravel road on the incline try using cheese slopes of various colours on the edge of each rise up as the greebling, they may be smooth but your using a combination of stud, plate and 1*1 tile so it might look ok and not be as aggressive on the incline

[@nickbestvater8635]

You could use art panels to fill some of your mills layers

[@katdg1447]

You can eventually integrate your 3d printed organizers eventually. Doing it all at once would be very overwhelming. It sounds like a good plan though!

[@ianstenerson5387]

That one tray of trans blue looks like Heisenberg’s product.

[@randomusernameCallin]

I would look into getting a laser cutter to cut FDM into divider. I like the studs on the green plants. THey have a grass look but no too much.

[@maddog6620]

You are awesome 😎

[@somebody.387]

you could do like switchback for the roads! (it goes one way for like 20 ft and then turns around and goes another 20 feet)

[@blu-eyegeek8419]

as you create your creek and path, make sure your creek does not flow the wrong way... LOL (water does not flow uphill)

[@SeanM132]

If you have a concern for a mass amount of parts usage to achieve your depths you may want to meticulously plan out where you want all those areas of depth to be, so you can build them, add them in and then add wood structures around to then save on the amount of parts usage. Would probably take you a lot longer to get something down but i think it would help cost in the long run! :)

[@JordanMeyer-gc4vv]

For the gravel road could you use the netting element and sandwich it in between 1x1 or 1x2 plate?? Depending on tacking it down and underlying support you can get elevation and that "rolling effect" to the road and landscape. City looks great!

[@gwendafishley6368]

Looking great. Hope Kevin is ok.😢

[@adinaisb]

I think you should make a Y junction. One way leading to the tunnel and then another road leading to a bridge that goes towards the big mountains.

[@kooliostrempke]

I think it would be awesome to use or implement a cave similar to the gem one you had at the house in the cove but it be imprinted in the mountain somewhere possible near the 7 dwarfs or atleast within a hiking distance you can have the dwarfs in the mine possible. Another cool funny Easter egg you could do is up in the ice area have anikin hanging from the ice cave roof.

[@AthenaKing-lg2yt]

Been a perfectionist takes a lot of parts 😀

[@badlegochannel6365]

0.05 we call it a farmers omelet in The Netherlands

I know it's still early days, but I'm a little concerned about how your landscaping is taking shape . . . A lot of the space between elevations is texture filled, but it runs along the plate edges in straight lines and right angles . . . You gotta break the square - especially in landscaping. Overall, it's a really fun project - love it!

[@PapawsRoom-rj6xt]

Those 3D printed containers are cool you should slap a a Brickie logo on them and sell them on your whatnot

[@simonwallis9164]

Imo the resting angle plate looks better than the stepped plate for the road

[@boiletpaper3261]

Lay plates when you make the trail once you put on the details it will look natural

[@heather987]

Try staggering the plates for the road and then texture it see what it looks like

[@rbleisem]

Bricksie, can you clear in clear see true plastic? That way you can still see your bricks in their buckets. And if you now have several ocean explorer ships of the same type, think the new lego cargo ship, for a moment, but using those hulls. As for the country side, lets first see what for sets you have to work with, when you have all those new sets, added to you collection, right bricksie? And as for you grabbel road, think Eldorado Fortress it's ramp, Bricksie, that's your better third way, you know. That should let you create the hill to mountain ridge, boarder section, since if you really want a mountain ridge, then you are going to go quite steep in angle. O and as for your grabbel road, don't be afraid to create some dips and bumps, plus the tire track trails a true grabbel road has (two long line dips, thanks to wheels always going there). As for your A-frame lake, connect it to that river & make that river use-able for that canoe, meaning, make it wider, that way, that lake can be a harbor, for the A-frame.

[@shawnhuston8637]

Just a thought could you use wood to build up. Instead of the Lagos!!😊

[@frankvanderhek]

love adding extra height. Still believe the runway is way too small in compare to the gravel road.

[@patrickholmes8764]

Try using staging wedge plates for incline and decline

[@joostvandenbogert9616]

Slanted road plates are realistic for tarmac roads, plates on plates gradually are very realistic for pedestrian country roads Both methods have their place and use I guess

[@RobertoRicciardelli33]

Looking great, it’s coming along. For the train tracks in front of the campsite maybe you extend the mountain do the train can go in a tunnel?
