LEGO City River with 10 Bricks of Depth!

[@BrickTuneCity]

Can I make a suggestion to what you can do with that ditch you created? How about making it an excavation area where they are digging up dinosaur fossils. Since you have a history museum in your city with a big dinosaur fossil, now you have a place where they have found the fossils. That would be very unique because I haven't seen a Lego city on KZbin with an excavation area. And you can use tan bricks to do that and save on your green plates and slopes. hehe. Love your channel and keep up the great work

[@pabs6831]

Good call

[@edwards5013]

Love the idea

[@mcleanleline7038]

Love this idea!!!!

[@Markvigil1985]

VERY good idea👏

[@Shaunn1988]

Love this! 🦖

[@RobertSaulnier]

Instead of all green for the edge, you could use a top green brick then brown or gray underneath for dirt or rock, then you could add in some dino bones or other buried things on the sides of your build

[@velocityindustries]

Once the road crosses the river, it should split, one road going back down to the tunnel, one going up to the campground, and another one going left to the winter village.

[@BrickBuiltLabs]

You might want to consider giving varied elevation to the river itself as well, allowing you to add rapids/white water/waterfalls. Especially for a river that's carved away a canyon like you have.

[@DJDexterityakaPsyDex]

Yes, this. I'm intrigued to the routes of all the rivers as well. It would be cool to have the central mountain river join another and flow off the table somewhere

[@22damaged]

Hey Bricksie!! Just wanted to say Thank You for the Stella update!!! Lost my pup 2 years ago, so I was really concerned about her 😢❤

[@MarkConaron]

The hole you created looks like a good place for an old quarry with a little water in the bottom and rock sides. My two cents. It looks great and I think the angled gravel road is a great addition. Nicely done.

[@charleslamar4861]

Future consideration. What do all city's have on top of hills (and try to hide). A water tower. Camo it with trees or put "Bricksie City" on it.

[@mcbou33]

A nice wooden bridge across that riverbed would look really cool

[@TheDreamtimezzz]

So happy for Stella! These videos are always too short! I could watch for hours! ❤😊

[@mattjames1138]

Countryside seems to be on another level of difficulty compared to a standard Lego city. It will be all that more rewarding when near completion!

[@Bricksie]

Indeed it is, exciting task!

[@Regeis00]

With your 3D printers, can you print up some underlying structure supports? Not anything duplicating Lego bricks, but perhaps taller and/or skinnier versions of the containers you’re making and flip those upside down on the base plates and put plate on top? Or print up something that would help secure the Lego IKEA boxes to base plates? (Quite possibly not cost effective nor the direction you want to go in, but a possible option.)

[@malcolmparnell5698]

Your river bank that you worked on today would be a great place for a cave! Use that height to your advantage.

[@CynthiaStevens-c1c]

Suggestion for depression: Have a small stream come off the river and run into or along the depression and make a wetland. The LEGO cattails look really good. Add some ducks, etc. Or make a swamp with an alligator.

[@Angrist17]

That's looking *really* good. The road is amazing. Any gaps can easily be hidden with some bushes and trees too. For that little 'ditch', it doesn't *need* anything in it. Just some vegetation would be fine. Real landscapes have that kind of features. For the creek, it doesn't need to be flat and at the bottom of the baseplate. You could build that up a few bricks and then step it down as it goes. That could become rapids or rocks and pools like a real river too. It would look great.

[@r_stooge]

I'm digging your ambition with the elevation work! This is gonna pay off in the end with a next level LEGO city!

[@voidaviation251]

Happy that Stella's alright! Love the river also

[@ScottCarlton-q9g]

The plate which is lower in middle could be a fishing pond

[@warrennewman5325]

Glad stellar feeling better thanks for update

[@thebigd2323]

To the left of your road, you have an area that drops down. You could make that a pond with a waterfall flowing down into it and then into the river. Or you could create a cave going into the mountain and have some bears or campsite inside the cave.

[@johnvocatura]

I like the office dog. :) Love how you did the pit to the left of the road. Very nice.

[@bigjobby11]

Great to see you back on the city!

[@stevedelmore2277]

LEGO!!! Give this man a job!!! Love your work Jordan, your build techniques are inspiring, really appreciate these videos.

[@Ultrabox64]

When you finish the Lego city can you send in the ATATs and stormtroopers to raise it to the ground 😁

[@DeejCampana-ox8ri]

Good job on the countryside ❤ can’t wait to see how you develop it .

[@dinibo]

Love the angle on the gravel road. Can't wait to see it continue!

[@JohnVenters-t2g]

Old school covered bridge would be cool

[@damyanbg3136]

Winter is coming so i will suggest you to start doing the winter village!❤

[@brandonhall9325]

Ned Stark lookin out 😎

[@Pinkyyy-pinkyyy.aviation]

Most likely next Christmas I’d say

[@callum-td4bz]

@@damyanbg3136 I asked him about that and he said he’ll try and do one

[@winterrain1947]

My favorite season!

[@22damaged]

You really should try to integrate the upside-down home into the mountain. It would look fantastic!!! Especially since you have 2 now. Custom build the science building with the portal into the upside down and have another portal from by the home!!! Awesome!!!😮

[@bobbeckman3735]

I would like to do a large city build, but I think it would be “fun” to do things in the same order as real life. Land is first. Then old boats and cabins. Then old fashioned buildings. Then a steam railroad. Then roads and more modern styles. And just keep building the town in chronological order, including moving old buildings and replacing them with newer ones. Capture the whole city evolving on video.

[@brickknight8611]

Maybe the empty hole u can custom a cabin with BBQ pit for hiker to stopby before going up the mountain

[@ruimarques7073]

Good Job! I like the river

[@DoctorSinister1]

Oh wow, you could do a tiny overhang off the edge of the table where the creek flows off - make a little waterfall.

[@LivingRetirement]

My favorite LEGO channel!!!!☺

[@jc7241]

In the depression you could do a cave and maybe have a bear den. Also where the river comes in to meet the other it would be cool to have it be a waterfall.

[@kathylemoine3422]

I'm so glad that everything is fine with Stella🥰🥰🥰

[@daisinapali]

So happy to hear Stella’s on the mend. Great video! Idea for the green hole…hobbit home?? Country side is looking great!

[@knaussenheimer]

the angled stuff is so cool and creative

[@chris-qw7nr]

Do a derelict mine entrance somewhere that's boarded up on the front, would look great in that area

[@FlatDerrick]

I've mentioned before that he should do a derelict mine into the hillside where his access hole is, so he can do a whole derelict mine cutaway.

[@ThisIsSpartttaaa]

Never seen a river flow away from an ocean

[@CC-S6-01]

6:02 Doggo!!

[@shawnhuston8637]

All the work you have done looks great 👍. 😊

[@cam3ron993]

Thors Hammer Mjolnir scene in the hole like from the movie!

[@mattf8633]

The height variation is going to look great. Just to break up the gray rock work, turning the ravine into more of a Grand Canyon coloration might be a nice alternative. A chance to work in various browns, reds, etc where the river sort of have carved through the clay almost. I think i saw it already mentioned in another comment, but an old wood covered bridge would look nice stretching across the water as well.

[@matt_uw]

Love all of the elevation and changes I height bi see the vision it’s gunna look phenomenal

[@dragonracer7383]

Don't forget you can help more gradual elevations with plates too. 3 plates = one brick, so your collision could be solved with 2 plates. Nice build!!

[@Masonispro-ontop]

It would be very cool to have something above the lego city, like a castle on clouds or something like that

[@Imme_N]

i finaly bought the lion knights castle today i waited for 2 years!

[@1narow486]

someone was inspired by the last trip to legoland.

[@notgenericmaybeabit]

I have been following your channel for almost 3 years now and I'm amazed by how the quality of your builds improved. Even 1.5 year ago you didn't even make any landscape work, just put buildings on simple baseplates or MILS plates. Now you make really good landscaping. Keep going!

[@christopherhayward2416]

I love the raised tunnel idea!!

[@BrandonHubbard1996]

I just wanted to say, keep up the good work. You are good at what you do 👍. Lego on my friend

[@warrennewman5325]

construction love the new layout 🍕

[@thorn0581]

Happy that Stella is doing better. The last video reminded me of my mom's Yorkie and when she began to go downhill fast. I spent a very long night keeping her company at the end. Losing a beloved pet is never easy hope your family gets a few more years with Stella to build memories.

[@Dreamer5211]

Thanks for the Stella update , I am glad she is feeling better . 👍💗 

[@tonihall7810]

Maybe that ditch becomes the pond that all the creeks endup at instead of running them off the table. . Don’t worry it won’t overflow because it seeps through to the sub strata .lol yay puppy . Great to hear you are going good. Thanks for sharing

[@wasiimd]

Looking good Jordan its nice to see it coming along. In that hollow 7:08 I think a marsh or swampy bit would look nice with a mix of all those greens you have and a few trans blue tiles, just to set it apart from the ponds you have. You could even hide Jar Jar out there haha

[@josephharrison5639]

6:47 if you had the road dig into the hill a little bit then level back out I think that’s looked look great, it can still be that ramp style but that way it’s a tad more realistic in terms of slope

[@MyCapMyEverything]

I love the slope - nice work !

[@debeo8478]

Glad to hear about Stella❤

[@alonewolf190]

When making mountains make sure you make most of the brick upright but at an angle. This is how the rock is naturally on a real mountain. Because of the techtonic plates moving and smooshing the rock upward. It never goes horizontal. Hope this helps. Google images will help a ton withaking it super realistic. Love the progress. Keep up the awesome 😎

[@zoeys3346]

Youre going to wind up needing a bridge day! Im always entertained by your new ideas. Gives so much inspiration for my own lego town. I have primarily Friends sets though youve taught me a lot about different techniques. We appreciate you!

[@Bruxorama]

The space. So much space.

[@natedogg3507]

Make it a lake with the Loch Ness monster in it😂

[@victorhudson6757]

A great video as usual! For the bridge, I am going to suggest a covered bridge as I have seen many of those in wooded and forested areas. Also it would add a unique structure that would highlight the depth.

[@Bboydomaz555]

This is going to be fun to watch unfold

[@john.b4170]

For the deep river rivene, have you considered using the rock face pieces and blending with wedges? Loving the total overall look and feel. It would be great to see a hobbiton from LOTR in a hidden valley..😊

[@bjrnarydsteb2094]

Just a story-idea for this area. How about a left behind camp area. Some wood thats burned, maybe half a tent, some litter, just the scatterings of last night

[@paulmcastro]

You could make a suspension bridge over the river (like in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom). Might be a fun opportunity for storytelling.

[@Chaaaaadddddd]

add a car that fell into the river

[@gauvin9]

Great work on elevation -- soooo a F1 race track under the snow mount visible on the garage door side - drives through amusement park and under the platforms as an awesome race track 🚗🏎️🚙🏎️🚗🚙🚨🚨

[@coralbricks]

Place some river monsters in the river! Custom large fish and such. Great video!

[@Mark-tt7uy]

The canyon theme looks good and maybe you could transition into a bit of a western dessert theme. Thinking of Colorado, grand canyon and then the snow fields in the mountains

[@kellbell8866]

You should put some cattle grazing in that hole. I live in Iowa and any land that we can't farm usually has cows on it.

[@jaimebalaguer861]

I know that you say that one of the problems with the Ikea boxes is that they don't lock in with the underlying base plate. Have you tried using 2x2 corner bricks (L-shaped bricks)on the four corners of the Ikea box to "lock" it into place. This way you can save pieces on the elevated areas. Also....glad to hear that your dog is doing well.

[@theresnoplacelikeholmes2861]

If you order the 2x3 wedge plates in reddish brown, your 2 mils plates won’t have to be connected. They have the same angle as the dark tan ones you are using. 👍🏻

[@natalieanneshaw7879]

Hi I'm a new subscriber just watched a lot of you videos really enjoying your lego build you have a fantastic collection 😀 and a great little family keep up the great work 😊

[@bricknan]

In the dip you could have a small cave such as a fox den or something similar 😊 or you could turn it into a fishing pond and join it to the river with an 8 stud wide opening so it won't flood and will only trickle into the pond.

[@SeanM132]

Yay for Stella! :)

[@Markvigil1985]

Looking good😀👍 You need to use a lot LEGO Duplo bricks, so you can save all the LEGO System bricks under the green plates!!!

[@christopherhayward2416]

This is looking awesome!!!!

[@TheBrickTwins2024]

Elevation changes are awesome!! Looking great!!

[@Hotspur37]

You could have the hole lead to an old mine or cave entrance and then instead of the solid green wall on side show some underground detail

[@dougdavis9438]

A covered bridge would look real good over the river in the country side, especially after you put in trees and other greenery.

[@hiker1392]

Some really nice work. This will be fun to watch develop.

[@mattiamontanari]

Thinking of a country town down there? Like a strip town built on the sides of 1 road. There is a need for a gas station for sure and a small mart for food

[@MsMuppet1985]

Have you been to Johnston Canyon in Banff National Park? It would be fun to model your river after the boardwalk system in there!

[@xcentricbricks8388]

Bricksie take this advice use the purple foam insolation from home depot it's the same size you can cut it with hot wire and save bricks

[@xcentricbricks8388]

Cool thing is you can make shapes and wrap it with bricks

[@PleegWat]

Any hole will fill with water if it rains. And given how green your countryside is, the bottom will stay wet (probably with a small pond) even if it hasn't rained for a while.

[@Sladesbane007]

Always enjoy seeing you working on this it feels like a great learning experience for us all!

[@AC-xj7qt]

Nice job with the different levels.🙂. How about the lower area being an ancient ruin or dinosaur site as an archeological dig. You could use some Indiana Jones type sets. Just a suggestion 😉👍

[@ewthomp]

Great news about Stella!! Great video as always. Keep it up!!!

[@Southeastbricks1986-xn9yd]

This looks very cool can’t wait to see it continue 😁

[@ryanfaucette7899]

When you build the river it would be cool to build some sideways growing trees that you see a lot next to rivers

[@raylewis6833]

Love the height makes me want to change mine I think in the hole you have made you could make it a disused quarry as it is near dirt road keep up the great content

[@StacksOnBricks]

Another great update!! Would it be worthwhile having horizontal 2x8 or 1x8 bricks connecting the vertical support bricks in the MILs plates to give them more stability? Perhaps about halfway up the 10 brick high posts? I hope that makes sense! Thanks for the Stella update! So glad that she is on the mend!!

[@weezyfresh5373]

3:31 that why I use diplo I felt that pain watching this my thumbs lol

[@evilqueen6402]

oooo you could use different colors and make the different layers with the horizontal slopes on the river

[@guilhermecosta3019]

For the hole you built you could do a crashed truck or rally car that ran off the road and is waiting for a tow truck Love your vids

[@tseantan]

Maybe the Sanderson sisters cottage could be part of a small spooky colonial era style town?
