I love how Robin is mimicking construction, build and clean up! You are a clever man indeed!

[@Erikve]

Mimicking?

[@user-kp5pn6gu9y]

@@Erikve Lego Robin is building and cleaning up like the real Robin who is building and cleaning up Brick Nottingham v2.0

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yup indeedy!

[@ceciliaFX]

It's the whistling that cracked me up.

[@thenetheriteminecartzactnm]

@@RobinHoodBricks In the trailer, I wonderd why it was in the garage, now it looks almost like a normal room!

[@SuperSecretBricks]

It's nice to see the progress, and very exciting for the future of Brick Nottingham-Two-Point-Aw!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Progress has slowed but it's all going well!

[@christophercoleman8823]

Good to see all is going well with the new room! Def keep up the great work but don't Overwork yourself. Trust we [your fans] will still be here even if it takes another Month to complete 😁 👍🏾

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I appreciate that and it probably will. Progress is slow but it is all good. Better to get it done right!

[@Kthyela]

Great times lay ahead of us 🙂 You mentioned painting the walls of the new lego room blue. Maybe adding some clouds? There is Bob Brickman with is LEGO-City (and Museum) on KZbin who added clouds to the blue walls of his room. It looks much better than a plain wall. I think he even made a "How to"-Video.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I'll have to check it out but I was thinking of brick built clouds!

[@Kthyela]

@@RobinHoodBricks Oh, that's much cooler 🤩

[@teammontagnino9073]

Looking forward to your new adventure. Good luck

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Me too. So much planning to do!

[@MrPolleyr]

Excellent progress on 2.0, it’s a great space. I do have an idea to throw at you. When you make your standing hole areas make them rectangular (big enough for you to fit in easily), then over the top surface with blue Lego base plates on plywood (to simulate water) and put a wooden lip around the underside of the opening, so that you can remove it when you need to, but otherwise it’s covered by a water area, thus making the Lego room more seamless and continuous. Just a thought. Cheers Mate 😬👍🇨🇦

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That assumes one level all around each standing hole. Currently I have ground, sea and underground levels all around the same hole so it wouldn't work well. I like the idea though!

[@MrPolleyr]

@@RobinHoodBricks ……if all (or most) your underground scenes were located on the perimeters of your city, than the standing holes could be at table (or baseplate) height. Underground senses will be a lot easier to view and record on the edges of your setup rather than in the middle. Don’t forget….the layout is much bigger and views will be farther away. In the end my friend, it is your city and your vision. You know best. I am, as always, very excited what your amazing city will reveal in the days ahead. All the best from Canada 😍🙏👍🇨🇦

[@liammcgrane4433]

I know this is probably completely far-fetched, especially as you are likely set in how the tables and standing holes will work, but have you considered 'mobile shelving'. With a fresh start, its a way to have a full contiguous city, and then when you need to access further in you can move the shelves (slowly!) to create an aisle. Haha, its a lot of work and you might just prefer climbing under the tables (if ain't broke...). Anyway, super excited to see the progress!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

The first issue I see with that is having train tracks over all sections which isn't as easy as a simple drag back into position, sadly. The track connections are not flat, quite firm and very necessary for obvious reasons. It would be great if it worked though or if I didn't have trains!

[@dettentown]

Man, don't choose carpet, dust will be a nightmare! My Lego city stands on top of laminate and i don't have much of a dust issue. Godspeed on your journey with the new room!

[@GeneralHomsar]

And then it makes more sense to use @Cymindis idea of a yoga mat

[@RobinHoodBricks]

The old room has carpet. People and pets make the most dust in my experience. Doors closed at all times!

[@alexandre.o.branco]

Robin’s lair ❤ lucky you to be in the UK. Here in Germany no way to legally transform a garage into a hobby room, our Super Secret Polizei is watching! Love the progress and wish you good luck and great success!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I wonder why that is? I feel extra privileged now!

[@k1ngofpayne991]

looking good

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Thanks!

[@brickartisan]

progress is looking great. Might I suggest “New BrickNottingham” instead of BN2.0 😊 Regardless, I’m sure it will be epic 😊

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I'll probably just call it Brick Nottingham still, once the transfer commences. The 2.0 isn't a nice name longer term!

[@Erikve]

Great progress!!! Oh, these works are so tiring; very smart to keep the door for last such that the dust stays out of the house.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Definitely. To be honest the constant banging is getting to me. I need a break from the builders!

[@blacktronlego]

When my parents moved into their current house, one of the first things they did was turn the garage into a study/library for my dad. They still had two cars that they were using at the time, but we had a driveway that the cars lived on, rather than them going in the garage. The top half of the wall where the garage door was on is now a window, but we also kept the person-sized door

[@RobinHoodBricks]

We could've gone for windows but I'm not sure it'd look good from the street!

[@danshewell8746]

Is there any chance of you rebuilding Brick Nottingham to have a night scene too? Getting in some lights into the Lego builds and giving your city another life?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Just the amount of wiring I'd need to do would slow me to a stop and my wallet says no thanks as well, haha. I'm not a fan of his wired builds look close up, and I'm a close up detail guy!

[@Foghorn8]

Something I meant to ask on your last video but forgot, and i'm not sure if you've answered this yet, but what's the plan with the actual city? Will you be moving it "as-is" into the new room and adding to it, or will it be a rebuild of the city from the ground up, a total reorganisation of street and track layouts? Do you plan to show your "planning" for the layout of the new city area? Will you be using any particular software to aid with it?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I will be sharing this part of the process too but I don't know yet how much will be a literal transfer. Favourite areas will definitely come across but maybe next to new neighbours. And improvements throughout!

[@mouthofthesouth71]

Robin its going to be huge! Wow! Are you going to totally recreate BrickNottingham? Or build a totally new city?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Both. It's roughly twice the size. I'll probably change everything a little at least!

[@LKBRICKS1993]

It is really coming along nicely. Looking forward to the next video.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Then the planning then the move!

[@sampykett8799]

Great job

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes it is so far!

[@Cyroid_1]

YEEEEEAAAAAAA!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yup that just about sums it up!

[@StuartGray100]

Nice progress with converting a double garage into a room. The finished room will look great and you can expand your city quite a lot

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That's the plan. Just under double the build space!

[@seektruthnow.]

Im so excited for you. With all the extra space I’m excited to see your creativity come through with your amazing builds and story telling.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Thank you so much. I'm really looking forward to the larger canvas!

[@ronvallance5425]

Thank you for the update. I have a question for you. When the new lego room is finished, are you going to move the old lego city or are you going to rebuild a new lego city ?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Not sure yet. Probably a bit of both. It's a good chance to revisit and upgrade everything!

[@Cymindis]

random thought.. you could have a yoga mat that you roll out to crawl on to the standing holes? it would be another layer of give for your poor knees? thanks for sharing the update!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

The carpet is future proof and it's fine with good underlay!

[@guleri]

The room looked smaller in this video, but it was probably just due to the lighting and that the garage doors now was hidden by a wall. I am sure it will be a great Lego room, and look forward to following the progress.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I go from thinking it's not much bigger to bring completely daunted, haha. The maths says it's almost double the size!

[@prokesuk]

I hope you haven't sound-proofed it too much, otherwise you won't hear the Super-Secret Police when they are in the vicinity.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Haha, I'll be safe from them and loud motorbikes!

[@88gamesofficial]

You should add a new train named the brick nottingham express it would be a dark green

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I have a dark green steam train called the Flying Nottsman. Check out my trains playlist!

[@88gamesofficial]

Ok

[@Go_Eggs]

Thanks for the updates! Love seeing how everything is going.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

You bet!

[@jamesdoble7580]

woot awesome! :D

[@RobinHoodBricks]

You said it!

[@dennisbomhof]

A lovely update Robin, it's starting to look great!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Ye, it's exciting!

[@BennyLlama39]

Don't worry about the echoes. Once you start installing carpets, the city and building area, and your recording gear, it'll be a bit less echo-y. 🙂

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes I agree. Proper lighting will be good as well. So excited!

[@MamasBricks]

Nice to see!!! Good luck cleaning little Robin!!!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

More updates next week!

[@CroydDC]

Wow, that was a lot more progress than I expected, moving along good!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It's slowed up now but still progressing. Things have to wait for other things and so on!

[@xanthicdragon6510]

Lovely update 🎉. Will the carpet be forest man greenl😅

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It nearly was for a moment but green is pretty ugly. Nearly decided on something neutral but dark so it blends into the background. Blue walls too!

[@hitthebricks5502]

Very excited for you! I have often thought about doing this to my garage! I’m going to enjoy seeing your progress 😊

[@RobinHoodBricks]

You should. You only live once!

[@eliaslego]

Cool update! Will you paint walls with blue colour?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That's the plan. I have three blue tester pots!

[@arturwozniak681]

Great start Robin 👍👍 Maybe after you finish plastering the wall you should paint a background of a city. So that will make a good distance 🛣️🏙️

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yeah I'm considering that, like the LEGO City box art. I'm just wondering if I'll be able to make it look good rather than just funny looking, haha!

[@Essie-fm3vr]

I was bit surprised that you didn’t put any windows in the room. I’d expected that you would have put windows instead of the garage doors with maybe roller shutters to control the light for filming. Dual or triple pane windows would also have kept the noise out and insulation. Anyway very cool that you’ll have a lot of space for Brick Nottingham 2.0.

[@BradleyJSimmons]

No windows means Minimal UV from the sun to reduce discolouration to the Lego

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yeah we've gone for the cave approach. Garage doors still on the outside as a facade!

[@michellechrisman9084]

Hi Robin, PSA - measure the baseplate with a tape measure because LEGO has the wrong dimensions on their website. Bricksie ran into the same problem. Keep up the great work! You Lego addicts are way better than tv!!!

[@samwalker8893]

Bricksie knows full well, i know of at least five times on video he has made that same mistake

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I'll double check but I thought baseplates were 10" or 25.4cm. A quick Google suggests this is a tiny bit under but I don't know the final room dimensions yet anyway. I do know it's not uniform throughout. And the last room was 17.8 baseplates wide or something. I'll manage!

[@Slavador2393]

It's coming along well now Robin. Not far off and we'll be seeing your builds in there. Let's go 😂!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I'm hyped!

[@callum-td4bz]

Are you going to remove any old Mocs from the city to make room for new stuff like ninjago city

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Maybe. We should have twice the space, although it may be hard to visualise now. Plenty of space for Ninjago City!

[@Ri6hteous]

I’m really happy for you Robin. Good job.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I'm happy for me too. Super excited!

[@MayoHosko]

you've kept up this april fools concept so long I don't know what to believe anymore

I dont mean to pry but just how much red tape did you have to go thru to make this renovation go thu. Only reason I'm asking is because your in the UK and permits and the like are different then they are over in the United states of America.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It's not too bad as we're not changing the outside look just the purpose of the room. Planning come by every few days to check it is done properly, but they've had a few helpful suggestions so it's all good!

[@joshuapeterson684]

Where are you going to put your cars?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Car singular. Outside!

[@callumphone9494]

I hope there is one final tour of brick nottingham 1.0

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, we'll have to do that. We owe it to the place all the memories were made!

[@gilcouto4044]

You should put an air conditioning unit so you could still record during the hot summer days....

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It's on the cool side of the house. The old room is on the hot side and also has all the pipes for the hot water system!

[@BrooksBricks]

This is sooooo exciting!!! They've done so much already! It's quickly becoming real. And closer to Brick Nottingham 2.0! Lets gooo!
