Honestly great tips for someone like me who is just starting out making my own City. I think my number one tip is use the LEGO City sets first. It really helped me out as the modular road system introduced with the newer sets helps a ton with dismantling the parts to change them however you want. Same with buildings. Although, the only problem is especially where I’m from, the LEGO City sets are scarce due to Christmas. Thanks for the video!

Fantastic video!👍 You don't even need road plates...I have a pretty large city but it's all inside bookcases and I only have posterboard for roads. It works. Or you can think outside the box and have more bike/pedestrian pathways. There's no limit to imagination! That's why we love lego.

Not a necessarily budget conscious tip but a useful one nonetheless when starting a new city; is to use the MILS plate system. Converting my buildings and roads into MILS makes reshuffling your city so much easier and gives you options to play with more depth and also just looks way better. Great video too

Another thing to consider for those on a budget. Is the 4+ series. I know a lot of fans hate them for the solid single piece bases, and for being to simple and kiddy. But it can be a cheap way to get some nice cute vehicles, figures, and accessories for your city.

Nice! I would add, even though it might've implicitly been brought up in this video, to go for smaller buildings from LEGO rather than the modular line. I especially like a lot of these 3in1 buildings from the late 2010s till now which are amazingly compatible with each other. There's a video by Jangbricks called "The Joy of Small LEGO buildings... Together!" which perfectly shows the potential of this and the amount of density with going for this scale of buildings. Also helps when you might not have a lot of space. I got the sets 31026, 31050, 31065, 31097, 31105, 31036 for a very small shelf-layout that even has space for the roadplates and I love it. I plan to get some copies of these sets in the future since all of them have pretty competent alternate builds as well. A lot of these buildings also have hinges so they can be closed up or used as larger fassades, so the flexiblity is really good.

Great Video and great tips! I’m fairly pure when it comes to lego bricks with the only alternatives being some of my baseplates. I do agree with how ridiculous the base plates are over priced with competitors being cheaper and sometimes better. For instance you can get third party base plates for cheaper that are a full baseplate thick with the advantage of working better with the new roads then the official ones do.
@NewBrickerton
@NewBrickerton 2 жыл бұрын
That's a very great point. The discrepancy of baseplate vs roadplate height is something I think a lot of city builders are working through right now. It'd be easier if everything was a single plate thick. Thanks for the comment!

This is a great video! Here are my thoughts on all 5 points: 1: Small definitely works well. Pretty much all of my city buildings are either from City, Creator, or custom built. I don’t have a single modular set, and I don’t really want any, because I would much rather use that 32x32 space for multiple smaller and simpler buildings. 2: Another plus side to building the alternate builds in Creator sets is getting more pieces. I remember getting a gigantic caravan set and opting to build the alternate lighthouse build instead. I had a decent supply of parts after that, including some doors I could use in custom buildings. 3: I’ve tried to make backings for some of my buildings, but I don’t tend to do it too often. 4: Another good place to look is yard sales. They are basically the best place to get cheap Lego if you don’t care what you get. Granted, you might end up with a lot of stuff from series’s you don’t care about, but you could also find good sets to use in your city, like when I found a Classic house and a Friends bakery in my most recent haul. 5: Even though I mostly use official Lego, I do think baseplates are the best thing to go bootlego on. My winter village uses bootlego baseplates for instance.

How do I get the new road plates to be at the same level as my modular buildings? The road plates are double the thickness of the baseplate for modular buildings.
@NewBrickerton
@NewBrickerton 2 жыл бұрын
Baseplate is about 1/3rd a plate. Road plate is the thickness of two plates and a tile. Cheapest option: use foam core to elevate the modular building. Standard foam core used for science fair project displays is the perfect thickness to lift the buildings. See Jang Bricks video on this for an example. Second option: underneath modular building, place a baseplate and one plate of thickness around the corners for the modular building to rest on it. It will be the perfect height. Most expensive option: build everything in a MILS system. That's a very good question. I might make a video about this.

I did not have that much Lego when I was a kid and as I got older I wanted to create a town or cityscape.

I wish I had a big empty garage and thousands of bricks because I would be building my own mini New York.

I started a Lego City park with the RV Camper, Horse Trailer, and few other smaller City sets. Then got the noodle shop last year, added some other smaller sets, like fire engines, police cars, small vehicle sets. Then put each of those on the large gray plates. I've aldo built a Space "city" that I call Lego Gate -1. I took parts left over from a Dimensions started set, some Mars sets, City Space sets. Plus a spaceship made from the Space Station and pre-owned Mars Shuttle that I got for $15USD. I have used a few off-brand plates, just because I could get them for $1.25 each. Though I do keep my Mego-Blok in a different storage. The small plates are a good way to display sets that might be small, like I was given a couple of Freinds sets. I put those on their own plate to display. I was asked last year to create a Christmas themed centerpiece of a luncheon, so I used a couple of Space crater plates (the 1978-79 versions) and built a pretty large display on those with trees, presents, a couple of trains, and lots of people. It's even lighted. For displaying, I used a bookshelf in my bedroom for the Park and City dioramas. The large gray plates fit perfectly with room left over to park some vehicles. With Lego, the sky's NOT the limit.

I started looking at off brand website a month ago and it made me start to get serious about my city like I got a very nice coffee shop that was 2 story’s tall and a full plate size big for about $80 and it had super good interior. Idky lego doesn’t sell their stuff for cheaper with how cheap other people sell their stuff.

I know that this is nearly a year out of date, but in the UK there's a few different Lego magazines, they always come with small builds. Things like fire planes, police jetskis, 4x4, I even have a batman motorbike!! They're pretty cheap but good for details and extra pieces

Ha! I'm a user of kmart baseplates. Ground level of my layout is two bricks high then normal lego building base plates. You'll never see them. Only non lego I use though - happy to cut them and stuff. I use duplo for foundation stuff - save heaps of bricks. 👍🏻

I got the small creator toy store building and a "starbucks" Coffeeshop ^^ .. for now its just a street with these two buildings .. XD .. But please .. never buy lego full retail.. just whait a few weeks (or sometimes even days ) for 20-30% discount .. should also keep the cost down ..

Road Plates 60304, or you can buy them individually on Bricklink which I've heard is cheaper.

Looking for a hobby, model RR just too expensive to convert to DCC. I like puzzles too. I'm subscribing. For those upset abt tip 5, the video is how to do a lego city cheap. You can ignore the tip or only use in substructure where it isn't seen, just like using foam instead of Lego parts. Anyway, not ready to try yet, I have a few kits like the British bridge and Big Ben, but I like the idea of Lego trains and building a city around them and your tips help because it ain't cheap and like you said seeing these huge cities on KZbin is discouraging.

I am getting overwhelmed trying to design my city. I have a bunch of Harry Potter sets, Jurassic World, Prince of Persia and then some old castle sets and the black pearl. All my ideas are in my head and hard to visualize in real life. I don't really have a big area, just two card tables and a really long work bench. This video is helpful, but are their any other words of encouragement. Thank you for the info and have a great evening.

It takes time. You won't have a city you are super proud of over night, just gotta start somewhere. Besides your jurassic world sets, seems like you'd have a good setup for an old world / medieval setup to start with. You can start with a nice MOC or small improvements to your current sets before thinking too much about the overall city. Hope that helps, hard to say much more without seeing all your sets

It does thank you. That is exactly what I am going for a musketeer/medieval them with witches and wizards. For Christmas I got the Sanderson Sister cottage and was pretty much going to set it up next to the harry potter stuff. Thanks again and once I get some sort of layout I will send you a couple of pictures.@@NewBrickerton

Thanks for the sub!! The most popular table seems to be the LINNMON / ADILS table from ikea, it's about 55 USD. The most affordable for starting out would just be a cheap folding table.
