Building a LEGO City on SHELVES

[@anuscreamus575]

I like this set up more than the large tables imo.

[@BroughtCat]

Same here, the buildings look way more fuller and livelier imo.

[@ESTalesTyrone]

The tables look kinda gross to me like a bad addiction gross 😂 I know this dude has a ton anyway it just looks way cleaner and cared for. I have a few Lego sets but I collect funko pops and I have over 100 in nice organizer shelves and they look clean and nice.

[@KrazyJake88]

YES! tables end up looking like a huge mess, especially given most cities are just modulars

[@skywarp2414]

me too. time to reconfigure my city and get a ping pong table🙂👍

[@ollewall]

I MUCH prefer leveled cities like these compared to the bulky ones. Much more neat and pretty.

[@egemenogredik9056]

This more minimalist approach to a lego city display is much preferable compared to having rooms full of desks. You’ve inspired me to rearrange my sets with your fantastic idea !

[@anmbia]

I like this a lot better than the tables, they end up looking cluttered and tacky. This lets you see everything without being overwhelming

[@alessdimensions8821]

It is important to show this alternatives man, KZbin at least it's so full of the same traditional table layout, were bigger is better, people can build whatever they want, but it is appreciated to see alternatives for others to get inspired and try it out, even if the space and budget is not the same, the pros of this layout is that you can set different scenes of a city, smaller neighborhoods, mor comercial areas, big busy areas, other cities just feel strange with having these all together in one table, while shelf divide the scenes and make it seem that you are picking veins of a big city, I don't know if this is the best way to do a city but it's a good option.

[@kentslocum]

Putting the Up house between the two taller buildings was genius!

[@SpeepBlob]

This looks a lot better then the big messy lego tables

[@Frances_ART]

I really like your setup for your legos. I think it looks better on shelves than on tables! 😊 its really is so detailed. good job 👍

[@TheComicLibrary]

Love your display! Where did you buy that shelf? Can you send me a link? I like that it’s wide enough to fit a road in front of the modular buildings. The shelves I have aren’t that wide.

[@thelongwaysbetter]

Fantastic modular streets setup, and great to see the more down to earth reality that not all of us have the space for a massive modular city! I recently bought a house and while quite spacious, there isn't room for a massive modular city table either, so I've had to settle for a long modular street (9 full modulars in width) across the top of a bookshelf. In some ways I reckon this sort of street on a shelf can be better if it is all killer no filler which some of those giant cities end up being

[@steveiscrazy_]

Production value on this video is insane 🎉 keep at it man I’ll be watching the channel grow!

[@KiwiModulars]

Appreciate the kind words man!

[@ShortRound42]

Great idea, I started on a big winter village on a very large table and realized I can never do what I want since I'd have too many tables around the house. So I'm attempting a little of what you're doing. Do it in a finite shelf space. I use less bricks and get more creative with the layouts.

[@helenramos3836]

Great job, I think your city looks great.

[@KiwiModulars]

Thank you so much!

[@RayLilySeries]

As someone also renting, this is such a great idea! Looks pretty kitted out, have plans for when the shelves are completely full?

[@KiwiModulars]

Those plans are still in the works! Not sure what I’m gonna do .. Maybe get a second shelf, expand the current one, kick out my flatmates? 😂

[@ceepally]

I vote for kicking them out… just kidding! Idk I think it would be cool to set up two shelves next to each other and then halfway through the second shelf add some other scenes like a park or a beach

[@tonyhoward459]

@@KiwiModularsI was wondering what storage shelve did you get to make your city. I'm thinking about making a city like yours. Can you please send me a link? It will definitely help a lot as well. Thanks 👍

[@isaacmcburney]

The set that the bus came from was my first LEGO set. I’m sad I don’t still have it assembled, but that makes sense as I was a young kid. This made me feel old! Lol

[@BrickHQ]

I have a small Lego city, I do have some sets on shelves. I can relate with having too much Lego while not having enough room. Awesome video! Amazing city! You should make videos about your MOCS

[@benjaminkit]

Wow! It looks amazing and aesthetically pleasing! Great job!

[@JWXBRICKS]

Dude, if I wasn’t such a diehard Ninjago fan I would definitely be doing this kind of thing! New Subscriber👌👌

[@DailyWeeklyBuilds]

Great work! The production quality on this video is so good

[@paulsavage4294]

Great idea. Looks wonderful, I may have to do it myself. Keep Building!

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

editing and camera work is simply astounding! This channel is going to blow up big time.

[@sebastianjames6520]

Fantastic first full size video

[@momlife283]

I love it. Neat and not crowded.

[@DTL_Builds]

Great build and perfect speed!! Slow enough so we can see what is happening but not slow enough to bore us!

[@KiwiModulars]

Definitely tried my best to find that middle ground so glad to hear this 😁

[@SW_Bricks]

Mate this city is amazing! I have to pack up my city soon so definitely gunna do this!

[@KiwiModulars]

Thanks dude! Glad I could provide some inspo 😅

[@alejandronunez1958]

Clean set up!! Loved the video ❤

[@brianhoover8414]

Great video! Thank you for the ideas. My wife and I have been wanting to do shelf cities ourselves!

[@ricardoweissman6755]

Looking great 🎉 Hotel boutique was also my first modular building

[@ihsanulkamil1999]

super awesome. that UP house is amazing

[@Hunta-i8w]

I love your set up, its very similar to one I have. Only suggestion is to be careful in position as to how close ur sets are to the window, ive learned the hard way that the sun will yellow your more white/grey lego. You have it just out of the suns direct light just dont lose your cool stuff! loved your video.

[@CL-gc6pe]

Oh thanks for this tip

[@yinyang0704]

Recently put all my lego city on shelves, saving for road plates, or bricks to build my own....Kiwi ingenuity continues....cheers from Auckland!

[@KiwiModulars]

KIWI INGENUITY 101 ! Good luck with ya road building 🙏🏻

[@thanos616]

I like this setup a lot, because it looks very good, not overutilized, and tbh this is what most of us can afford :D

[@cinematographytrev]

This is a really amazing idea, your video has really made me think about how you can display Lego. I’ve a lot of sets but I’ve not purchased a modular because I don’t have a dedicated room or an area whereby I could display these in. That was until now, such an awesome idea and you’ve given me food for thought. Brilliant

[@bricksdarklighter5597]

Looks really cool. I suffer the same fate because my home office is also my Lego showroom. I really like the shelf idea for your city, looks really clean and surprisingly spacious.

[@Mrbandit81]

Pretty cool set up right there, cool area you’ve got put together. Definitely some inspiration here given, going to be working on the shelf I have for displaying the Lego City area I’ve got. Glad to know I’m not the only one using a shelf for putting a city together in a good way.

[@KiwiModulars]

LEGO City shelf represent ! They’re the best, good luck with your own 🙌🏼

[@thantzinoo6608]

As I am addicted to LEGO modular buildings, I love every modular contents you create and love your shelf display ^^

[@kyle123four]

i been doing the same thing for a while but with 2 modulars and a construction site just taking up 1 shelf

[@firdausembi7402]

Hi there… you got Nice Lego City., Lovely man… I also live in a Flat any my city I display in a IKEA glass cabinet .

[@KiwiModulars]

If we had IKEA here in New Zealand, I think I’d have a field day 😅

[@matthewlong7547]

What kind of shelves do you use for these? I'm looking to do something similar.

[@KiwiModulars]

Hey! Just been doing bit of research haha. So, The shelf brand is pinnacle hardware, but they’re only available in AU/NZ. BUT I just made a community post with an Amazon link to a close resemblance available overseas 😊

[@matthewlong7547]

@@KiwiModulars Thanks man, I've been searching for months and it's way too hard to find specifically 15+ inch deep shelves or bookcases

Awesome setup and great idea! Might do something in my office (don’t have space for large spread out LEGO layout) Quick question. What depth are your shelves? Look perfect depth to put a modular plus a street play in front.

[@BecSparky]

Assembly square was also my first modular build. I've also done the Jazz club. I have Corner garage in my cupboard waiting patiently and Boutique hotel in my Teens room hidden so they can give it to me for Christmas. Ive also asked family for lego vouchers for chrissy so I can get the new tudor building, the botanical gardens and/or the XMen mansion.

[@dapperdanny2957]

The up house is perfectly placed!!!!! Love your shelf city, but it needs a name. Lol! Keep up the great work my man!! 👍💯🔥

[@MisterBrickalew]

Facades behind the city layers would be a nice addition.

[@hannaht6588]

I am actually doing this type of set up ! I bought two tables and they take up too much space! Looks amazing and jealous of what you have so far !!

i know the feeling, i have mine LEGO City on Windowsill because it can hold a baseplate on it and yeah i did build them on MILS plates and also with lights on the buildings.

[@maartenfisher6626]

awesome city, i hope you're gonna connect the shelves one day, with stairs or elevatores

[@KiwiModulars]

I like your thinking! An elevator sounds fun 👀

[@zachjamieson7912]

Whats the name of the shelf and where di you buy it ?

[@Feddy816]

For my Lego shelves I have it organized from lower to upper, city/minecraft, space then my DC sets (they’re my favorites so I put them higher). So it looks decently ‘realistic’ and organized
