LEGO Airplanes and Airport Terminal! - Lego Airport Update

It's time to continue building the LEGO Airport by adding planes and a giant terminal!

[@titan_redeemer7371]

I know the main focus has been the main city , but I’d like to see how the rest of the museum is coming along

[@moistbird7618]

Agreed, an updated on the whole thing would be nice

[@bolpbestofletsplayer3007]

You can see this on @brickstory

[@BobAndrews69]

He's doing the museum with another Lego KZbinr ( @brickstoryoffical ) who always makes updates on the museum. But he only makes German videos

[@midnight_blue_moon]

@@BobAndrews69 I thought that channel was just his own other channel that's in German?

[@BobAndrews69]

​@@midnight_blue_moonthere are two guys who are behind the museum brickstory and bob brickman (his English channel is brickcrafts)

[@Mogswamp]

I absolutely love the claws for the grass

[@somyso3634]

I completely agree Mogswamp! Love your videos too

[@POTAT0_FREND]

Why is he following me your scaring me

[@sreeninikhil1617]

​@@POTAT0_FRENDhe can watch whoever youtuber he wants, stop getting mad over the fact that he's verified and has millions of subs

[@POTAT0_FREND]

@@sreeninikhil1617it was intended to be a joke which I thought would be obvious but I guess not

[@ttmax8969]

Chill

[@JPCs559]

Don’t forget to add the ATC (air traffic control) tower so that way the planes know where to land and how to get to the airport

[@betonpl9114]

i wanted say about tower

[@KleinerTimmy9]

In the german version he said that he'll add that

[@samuelvanbunningen2923]

yes

[@donquixote3939]

You know what could look great . . . If you have a helipad planned, have a helicopter landing, and use those little green claw pieces all to make it look like the wind is blowing the grass away from the landing/ taking off helicopter ( perhaps even including a motor to spin the rotors)

[@TDBRICKS]

Whenever I want to feel inspired about building something in Lego I come and see your videos. Love the detail man!

[@Ossiankarrohakansson]

No way TDBRICKS

[@markushathedoggopilot3428]

Hi I'm 2nd but wow

[@kiwiaviation5037]

I would agree

[@Alphablue_23]

Wsp td maybe u should buy a few lego technik sets and make em al and review would make my day

[@TorenMire27]

TD Bricks kinda fire ngl I hope he likes Swiss Cheese :)

[@askmeaboutmattweiner]

I've always considered visible studs on green plates as shortly cut grass, which I think is very acceptable for an airport.

[@isaaccisa]

I think that you should consider converting some portion of the flat green on the far side of the airport into some kind of swamp or wetland. You could add a lot of plants, birds, birders… even a couple of smugglers sneaking a package into a plane through a break in the airport fence. As a reference, take a look at Barcelona airport (BCN).

[@randomtime401]

I like the smuggling idea

[@midnight_blue_moon]

This is a really good idea! I hope he sees this comment

[@malawigw]

perhaps change your tone? "I think that you should consider" sounds like you are his teacher or referee. How about starting your comment with "Hey dude here is a cool idea..." instead.

[@midnight_blue_moon]

@@malawigw I don't think there was anything wrong with their tone? It just sounds like giving their opinion to me.

[@bassegoder]

​@@malawigw"perhaps chsnge your tone" lol projection party here.

[@JangoF12b]

honestly seeing the camera view from inside the terminal was amazing looking; looking out onto the tarmac and even onto the city was nice. It'd be cool to have small cameras hidden within some buildings hooked up to small screens above the city to give a life like view of the lego city and give people the feeling of looking through the eyes of the lego people.

[@fivebrosstopmos]

I really like the claw grass. It makes the grass look withered and flattened, like you'd see next to a runway.

[@miamiata7716]

Maybe add mowing lines like on a footbalfield. 2 or 3 rows of pieces pointing one direction and the next 2 or 3 rows 180 degree opposit direction. Don’t know if it works, but worth a try!

[@orrinfreeman5672]

Exactly what i thought!

[@justus8675]

Would like to see it "flattend" into a single direction aside the runway. And maybe turn the direction of wind/flattening around to make sense and add a little bit more spice to the build!

[@NonnoNao]

For the airport, you could add a falconer and a hawk hunting for rabbits. They really exist and keep the runways secure for the airplanes to land and departure

[@gamesetmatt23]

Don't forget elements like the refuelling trucks, airport fire engines, baggage carts, luggage conveyor belts, etc. hoping this will help to 'fill out' the mostly empty taxi ways etc. But love the modern design of the terminal that you've gone for. Can't wait to see more!

[@ИльяРадецкий-с3о]

LEGO had a really cool set about airport fire truck

[@HiThereZoomy]

Yes!

[@blueshinestudios8402]

Oh and how it seems every airport has a semi ugly carpet design 😅

[@Encicia]

@@blueshinestudios8402it’s so you don’t see the stains as well. Hotels and other large (semi-)public buildings use them as well

[@freshjulian1]

Don't forget this... dont forget that...

[@SplinterBricks]

YES NEW EPISODE 🎉

[@993958]

2 cool ideas for a more complete airport: 1) make the roof of the airport a view-deck with sky bar. Add furniture referring to airplanes. 2) paint airplanes in your background sky. Or make miniature real Lego planes like you faded away the mountain-landscape scale. Would be interesting to experiment!

[@bigbird2880]

When you are finished with the airport, you should consider building some industrial stuff like a refinery or a factory that isn't occupied by the mafia.

[@DarkSnowGaming1]

I would love to see a modern city like something similar to New York, I feel like the airport with the terminal is the most modern structure in the entire room.

[@dodrian]

Definitely like the claw grass - patchy and from a distance it looks good! You could also potentially shape it like it's being blown by plane engines.

[@Mazzaspazza]

I like the claw grass too, great idea!

[@lukeelliott275]

I like the grassy look with the comb pieces, bit I think it would look best with no exposed studs, everything covered

[@pinkbunchan9258]

The addition of some helicopter, maintenance, and cargo facilities would go excellently with that airport. It looks great so far

[@dylang.1436]

I'm loving the way this is working out. I will say, what would be cool is adding some HVAC units or roof access hatches to break up those solar panels in the roof of the building.

[@ahadqureshi7020]

I think you can build a moc of a small plane like a 737, with a brick built fuselage. Would be more fitting with the rest of the builds.

[@SoulDeSol]

I think those flat claw pieces look great for the grass in the airport. Much less busy and distracting than the grass that was previously there.

[@jkingamy9737]

Just a suggestion but I feel like it would look cool if you had a plane hung on the ceiling with some fishing wire so it looks like It is flying around. This was a Great video too!

[@morcjul]

Landing airplane looks insanely well with the rubber markings!

[@capacitatedflux]

Extra taxiway is a great idea! Passing by my local airport all the time on my way to work, I always see a lot of communication/radio towers scattered about on the outskirts of the grounds. Plus, you definitely still need the ATC tower! Are you going to make a jetbridge or is it strictly a Bluth Staircar sort of operation?

[@auguhelt6879]

I think you should add a lawn mower that will mow the grass in the airport so behind it there should be smooth tiles (which would cover up the studs) and then some of the new pieces infront of it to cover up more as I believe only having the newer pieces would make it have to many studs in plain view when you look at the rest of the builds.

[@KawaiiKitten]

Wondering how it would look to use flat tiles in two different green shades to simulate mowed grass. If it looks good it would get rid of all the studs and you could still use the claws and normal grass to add a variety of patches to the grass

[@equilibrium_law]

Man, seeing that old lego airplane set was such a throwback for me

[@MajorWolff23]

For the cows, what I do is use 1x1green flower studs and put a leg on that. You could expand on this by covering up the floating area with more flowers

[@jasmijnariel]

7:33 a ruin on top of that mountain would be cool😊

[@nikvan9944]

It would be so cool to see a plane on an arrival path or departure path that has just taken off, flying over the Lego City hanging from the side of the wall! Like a ‘not so hidden’ Easter egg. Just like the train goes around the city, it would be so awesome to see a plane among the clouds on the wall

[@LegendSnowbolt]

as a rampy here, i reccomend having GSE (ground service equipment) scattered around the terminal and bays (the gates) such as stairs, Ground Power units, Baggage tugs and baggage carts, Cans (the larger containers for larger aircraft), belt loaders and Front machine loaders (the really big machines you see loading the containers) and of course pushback tugs!

[@jamsommer]

These videos are by far the best thing on KZbin - thanks dude. Here's a suggestion: The train tracks could go underground into a train station (real or imaginary) underneath the airport terminal or right next to it. For reference, perhaps something along the lines (pun intended) of the train station beneath Copenhagen Airport.

[@Simon-T.]

That's a great idea.

[@JustAlanDoingAlanThings]

For the wobbly roof, could you use the the hinge pieces you used for the windows at each end with some sort of slope that holds it down?

[@TheDobro]

A cathedral somewhere on the upper level would really make the city feel more like a real city I reckon. Would be awesome.

[@adotam]

I remember you talked about adding some kind of wear to the surface of the landing strip, apart from the tyre marks. Maybe you could try buying second grade used parts, that are slightly scratched, or off colour, and replace a few pieces of the strip, where the traffic would be much higher

[@ccbgamingonline4184]

For that Lego city, I believe I fortress styled castle would look amazing! Have something the planes get to fly over before they land.

[@clxudybluexx3049]

I love the hands/claws

[@balazsbiro8091]

Student pilot here. If you want to make the vegetation as realistic as possible, here are some real life applications. Airports usually leave higher vegetation around the runway to make sure birds won’t see small animals and won’t fly over the runway, so birdstrikes can be avoided. Further away from the runway the vegation is a little lower so pilots are able to see the signs and lights much better and also birds will gather around in those areas.

[@Krasniye]

I'm at ATC IRL so obviously you gotta add a tower! Other suggestions: Parked aircraft need support services. If there's no jetbridge they're gonna need stairs, a ground power unit, a pushback truck. A baggage cart would look good too. Many airports have a navigation aid called a VOR/DME on the field. It might be an interesting build for you (lots of little antennas) look up PAPI lights, very important and would be a cool detail to have! Good luck!

[@Glowinthedarkasmr]

I think you should add a futuristic town in the sky. The airport is looking very good.

[@centralafricanrepublic]

I really love this series. But i just want to say that inbetween the taxiways in the green area, usually there are no plants or bushes so that birds dont nest there.

[@jchendrix]

the new grass is much nicer and looks more realistic, I would like to see a road leading to the airport, maybe a car park and also maybe a shuttle train almost like a modern speed tram or something like this?

[@majdakeran1987]

I suggest that you make two floors in the terminal and access the plane from the top floor, through the tunnel.

[@JeffThatcameraguy-og3hr]

Make it a well kept flower garden, with bushes, and colorful flowers.

[@ultratorrent]

The "blown over grass" studs should be placed in-line with aircraft to show the grass being blown down by the engines in strategic spots where it makes sense. That's always a thing I noticed on my various flightlines over the years.

[@raymondmorehouse]

If not already planned, airplanes flying over the whole display would look great and add an entire new level to look at. Perhaps with skydivers?! Hot air balloons, etc. etc.! Love the videos

[@Pushingbuuttons]

Grass at airports, particularly one’s with heavy commercial traffic volume, are religiously mowed. Overgrowth can become a safety hazard by coving up signage making it harder for pilots to read, blocking lights, and hindering emergency trucks that need to operate on the grass. So shorter and less for the grass is more! Maybe could add a tractor dragging a mower behind it mowing the grass! As another commenter said, ATC tower! Great work per usual!

[@XSprivates]

I really like this series and the airport would be so much better than it already is with an airport fire station with the special fire trucks

[@silvergeneration]

I really like how you listen to the comments. I'm sure a lot of your viewers are invested in this project. It's a nice sense of community :)

[@kaden6054]

Airports usually have planes take off and land going both ways on the runway so I think adding the taxiway to the end would make it look better. I also think it would be more realistic to add the black rubber marks on the other side of the runway to show that planes land going both ways.

[@themetalslayer2260]

solar panels on the terminal's roof is a clever idea because all the airports try to minimize their impact on the environment so, they use solar panels (so this idea is totally logic)

[@evilscientistrecords]

A rooftop garden on the terminal would be an interesting addition. 🌳

[@ElFrances561]

It should be very cool if you add a station with a train/metro to connect the airport with the rest of your big city. Anyway, I really like what you've done !

[@Tree_Bricks]

you should add a private jet trying to park but it's wings are longer than 24m being stopped by some guards to add a small story to the airfield :)

[@BrickStadiums]

Great airport! Great building techniques! Some things I would change as an airplane enthusiast: 1: build actual aircraft (737, A320, ERJ-175) smaller aircraft for a smaller airport. 2: while the aircraft are parked at the gate, make sure there is enough room for an aircraft to taxi by the parked aircraft.

[@gobigobster8103]

making the grass with tiles, but alternating dark and light like a well maintained lawn or soccer field could be good, considering how well maintained airport lawns often are

[@coldfrozenbones]

I think a big rail yard just outside the city near the rural area would be cool, like an area to store but also show off some cool trains.

[@koreanoona75]

My favourite Lego City has an update! I like the claw grass - they look like the wind has blown on them. The airport terminal slanted glass panels are brilliant. Cant wait to see the stories inside. Looking forward to the next video

[@Pixel_Penguin51]

I like the taxi markings with a little less grass around them. Keep up the great work!

[@stonewallsquad3343]

I have no clue how people could dislike the brick built abrasion, I love it so much.

[@itsskip]

An additional taxiway would take up the empty space you have there as well as increase airport efficiency. Unless you have ideas already, that would work well.

[@SamanthaLaurier]

I'd like to see some road maintenance crews working in the city, maybe building a new road or repaving (rebuilding?) an existing one.

[@torstendarrell7448]

as i pilot myself i appreciate the realism you added, it really looks like a real airport!

[@hitthebricks5502]

Wow! What a dream to have all those bricks and space! Thanks for the inspiration 😊

[@iain-duncan]

I like the claws. Id mix them together with the other elements for a little bit of variety. Its likely the spaces dont get much care beyond the occassional mowing, so itd make sense

[@EnhancedBricksShorts]

Amazing! I think the claw usage for the grass is brilliant, and maybe you could add a few airplanes flying above your lego city via fishing line or similar materials. Amazing!

[@graham_explores]

I think that you should connect the train layout to the airport. You could have cargo trains drop off cargo in a certain section at the airport for cargo planes. Also, a monorail would be really cool!

[@kotlolish]

I got a few small ideas for the lego city. 1: A large hospital with a helipad. With an airport nearby it would be cool to have that. 2: Maybe a grain Silo at one of the farms? 3: As someone who been to airports a lot... an idea would be to give the runway a few "ditches" not big enough for tires to get stuck, but you know more WEAR AND TEAR. You can even add small puddles of water to it in the small ditches or some lil parts of grass or certain plants that use those lil cracks and ditches to grow in. Makes it seem more alive. You could try it on some roads 1st... since country side roads are less upkept most of the time.

[@groeneribbroek]

First building in a +30m² area, "when having this limited space". Your work is on another level

[@n00b2b3r]

The new vegitation with the claws looks absolutely great!

[@4kleidisc]

a cool idea for more open parts, like a far distance from the room's wall to where you can walk and see the city could be background cities in mini scale like the architecture sets, or maybe a little town on the mountains

[@SOR-05]

I still can’t understand how you have so much Lego and space. It is truly amazing.

[@s.p.8803]

Museum in progress

[@cakeyexe]

I feel like what I could use is one possibly two small hangars off to the side, there can house stuff like smaller personal/private planes/jets. It could also use a small lot for ground crew vehicles. But you work at your own pace, love to see more videos like this!

[@ingram716]

I think you need to add an auto mechanic shop in the city. With a car on a lift (bendpac style), greasy mechanics and such. Bring more realism into the city with the regular person type jobs. Love the progress, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

[@boredguy1297]

You could use the claw grass to show wind direction, maybe even have a spectator's fence where people can take pictures of the landing planes and have one guy getting his hat blown off.

[@crtzmo]

If you extend the taxiway, I suggest adding near the end a few small hangars with smaller aircraft (and maybe a helo). More stories take shape here; civil aviation is alive and well alongside commercial..

[@jannybunnybanani]

An observation deck on the Terminal roof could look interesting and break up the amount of grey!

[@johncraib-cox]

I'd like to see a helipad and control tower for the airport, but really good build and love the dedication!

[@DeemiGod]

Something that I think could be cool in the main city is some road construction going on, maybe part of the road has had to be dug up to fix some pipes

[@yesjonisme]

a plane and a hot air balloon flying over the city from the ceiling would be awesome

[@purpleabyss2587]

the claws look really nice as grass the give the right amount of detail. the area or grass isnt left an eyesore and the claws arent so big that they draw attentuon away from the signs

[@Thekidfromcalifornia2.0]

The plan made the skid marks make so much more sense

[@chuckball7408]

It would be interesting to see a building in the city made to resemble the LEGO museum itself.

[@questionmarkguy.]

Mad respect to this man and his hard work into this lego city

[@benstansbury-housden7848]

The area where you thought about having a second taxi way should be used for things like hotels, rental car lots, etc. Travel infrastructure you often find near airports

[@mauritsvanderlee7092]

I'd love to see some cable details for the solar panels! Maybe even a control panel for them?

[@LikeAFoxStudios]

I'm curious what the claw grass would look like if you covered the entire section with it, instead of just patches. This would probably take an absurd amount of time but may look cool!

[@KIMG69]

an airport's grassy areas will generally be kept very short to make it less appealing for birds to go looking for seeds (for obvious reasons)

[@Callsign_STUD]

Ground vehicles and an ATC tower would be a nice addition

[@DanAnt-uf6ge]

Airport terminal building looks cool, but you can add an air conditioning or roof top unit to have more details on the roof. I think it will look nice and add some pipes on roof as an air distribution system for mini figures.

[@josephbullen8392]

We think a recently departed airplane (or one coming in for a landing) painted on the wall behind the terminal might be a nice touch!

[@LeoTheGuy72]

I think a cool thing to add would be maybe a small crash in the Lego city with a fire engine assisting someone getting out of the car and going into an ambulance and the police blocking the road/controlling traffic, just and idea to break the repetitive landscape of the city.

[@trissieplays3976]

Would love if you could make an abandoned hangar in the big open grass field with maybe an airplane or helicopter which is over taken by nature. It would add a lot of extra debt in the city and the storyline of it

[@SujeitoRandomico]

You should add sewer inlets and sewer covers on city streets. This would add more realism and enable scenes of maintenance, for example.

[@Force_kin]

Now that you have the airport, you could keep the plane landing, and maybe 1 at the terminal. Then perhaps hang 1 or 2 planes from the ceiling? Just to add another dimension to it.

[@BrickinAwesomeMovies]

The airport in your LEGO city is simply amazing! 👏👏👏

[@Z3ROR]

If you're looking for a new theme to work on for your LEGO studio, maybe underwater is a cool idea with underwater bases, a submarine, a boat on the surface, a lot of fishes, sharks, maybe a whale. And not real water ofcourse, but fake the water with colored plexiglass panels or something.

[@diegorojas7882]

Id love to see some general aviation planes. Small with one engine. Maybe even a helicopter pad!

[@luuk777w]

i'd love to see a larger airport building. I find it tiny compared to the whole airfield

[@rkniner]

Honestly, I kinda like how the glass exterior looks on the new terminal. Although if I was being nitpick-y, it feels weird how the terminal has a bunch of ground level doors leading to a roadway. I assume the intent is that this is to access the planes at all three numbered stands, but it seems more like a pattern used to take the bus to a remote stand. I wonder if it might make sense to include one or more jet bridges to avoid interference between passengers and ground vehicles.

[@Xenithn]

Honestly, I would love to see you create some sort of "Victorian / Pirate (buccaneer)" theme, where it takes place in a seabed, open seas, naval port and a pirate haven...etc (Including a Ship Graveyard, and ship cleaved in half under the sea.)
