LEGO City Tunnel, Road, & More | Looking Pretty Awesome!

Today we start building the train tunnel entrance into the cliff edge. There was a lot of trial and error in the process but I think we got a good start on our first modular. Now I just have to decide where the Ninjago temple is going to go and how to integrate it into the scene. In addition to working on this, we also build some curve road plates and integrate them into the LEGO city.

I’d definitely say the temple should be higher up! Looks fantastic so far as a starting point though!

[@danielczh]

Love the idea. What you could consider is having the temple pagoda be raised midway to the top platform, sort of like cut into the cliffside. Then you could have a small cliff path that leads up from Ninjago, to the temple, to the the lookout above the tunnel entrance too.

[@ryangann799]

Yes! I was thinking the same

[@grjunior]

Yes. This!

[@steveewens2187]

Yes this is what I was thing as well, possibly built into the back wall cliff edge, up the top I would have a small park the spring lantern festival could work well and possibly a path also leading to the temple

[@sketchymtb46]

Bro I agree it made the temple look not as good as the potential

[@tonihall7810]

I would love to see the temple built in to the side of the rock face . Not quite on top but with the mountain all around it . There are so many possibilities. It’s looking awesome.

[@mattgaskill7720]

Looks great! Wish Jose a happy soon to be mother’s dad!

[@andrewphillips5771]

I absolutely love that corner modular piece you made. The train system is going to look amazing going through there. Your natural with the merps burps and lurps!! One day I'll be out in that detail to my city!!!

[@AR-ym5qx]

You can use single flat grey studs just loosely piled up along the train track under the bridge to resemble gravel / chippings

[@suzanneeddy2698]

My son said raise the temple it's a fantastic set so show it off. Also having the little buildings lower is gonna look amazing 👏 loving the updates x

[@Flyers434t5]

I think having the temple raised or at least on the rock face would look awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@coltonm82]

What you could do, is Maybe put the temple on top of that rock Edge and then to the right of it, where the Gap is between it and the modulars, you could put a little parking / sitting area that has steps leading up to the temple, and a little Rental Station for little scooters and bikes and stuff that the minifigure ride on that walkway. And then down the side of the cliff Edge to the left of the temple there could be Little Steps leading down to baby dogs that you can take boats out to Ninjago City🤔 love the progress though

[@simmerWill]

I think Spring Lantern Festival should go at the top of the new raised platform, with a winding pathway down half the height to the Temple, and then connecting it to either the sidewalk, or maybe a boardwalk along the edge of Ninjago City Lake?

[@joemann7353]

Yeah that would be epic

[@Advisorblogger]

Great ideas and changes. I think the temple with can go on a platform on the end where you built the platform but maybe it sinks down as opposed to the same level. Some temples have maybe q few steps down and they have a little area a pond and then maybe a long steep stairwell down to ninjago village where the merch shops start.

[@seanFlashgordon]

Looking terrific. The entrance looks very clean and solid.

[@hetfield2x4]

temple should be elevated on a mini mountain, sort of like how you did the cliff face. city is coming together nicely!

[@lordx3053]

I say higher up with landscape with cliff edge down with a waterfall down to the water

[@Jacpuddin]

That is so amazing!!! Love the set up...... The temple needs to go on top...

[@wisaosbsen]

For your ninjago section at the train tunnel you should put the large building up top and have the smaller ones inside the train tunnel with lights in it. have it be a little cave city that you can look into from the tunnel entrance and add some holes in the rock face to see in as well. i think that would look awesome

[@zoltannagy5325]

Hi! Maybe the cliff edge could be a view point for the residents, and the temple could go on another mountain platform to the opposite side in the corner. I would definitely use somehow the waterfall in this cliff area.

[@jasonyork7915]

A lookout point or observation deck would look great there. Perhaps a hot air balloon rental or something?

[@donnalajoie5309]

Always like your brainstorming about your ideas. Great video.

[@TheBlindref]

What about putting Spring Lantern Festival (slightly modified maybe) on top of the new cliff? That would be about the right size and would act as a nice park at the end.

[@lgcshorts2317]

I think it would be cool to make LEGO RC cars to go on the roads, though that would be super hard to program it to follow the exact track. Love everything though! Good job!

[@juliuseder8365]

I think there is no Lego rc car in the right size

[@ToothlesstheNightFury510]

I love that train cave

[@mccards]

Awesome challenges. May I suggest that the temple sits on top of the rock wall at the end of the upper street and the rock wall has stairs that lead up to the tower from Ninjago city.

[@tannjam]

you can probably just tile off the green baseplate with brown/dark/tan/dbg that the curved track will just rest on.

[@marktegrotenhuis]

Where the train crosses the road after coming out of the tunnel, I would maybe put a rounded corner tile on the side of the inner radius. Or something like that, because there's a curve inside the tunnel and it sounds like the wheel flanges are hitting the edge of the plates/tiles between the rails there. I think that doesn't have anything to do with the difference in height of the track.

[@Peter_McNutt]

I like the raised temple, maybe you could create an underground tunnel onto the train tunnel overlook? Could one of the rock panels be removed to do this? A steep staircase up to the temple would make it look like something from an ancient Asian type temple.

[@cozy.9803]

Love it. You and ms bricksie keep it up!

[@carlostrigueros1001]

One idea that may work is slide the train tunnel over one base plate to have more visible space from where the top of the lego city ends to the start of ninjago city, but other than that the tunnel is a beautiful masterpiece, keep up the great moc building!!

[@JGanes]

I think the tunnel entrance should be entirely light gray,. That way it would match the rest of your block work on the upper walkway.

[@brickspoke6350]

Love the rock work it's going to look awesome when it's done

[@seangrove5490]

Nice dragon masters set! Hidden under the table

[@BBHouseRodent]

Raise the temple a MERP above the ledge so it looks like it's on a peak.

[@ryangann799]

Yes not everything the same height and also vary the depth too so it doesn’t look so regular and straight

[@Brickstoic]

you should make a rail crossing plate by the school building and connect it to the road on the cliff side. :)

[@Ro_884_]

Amazing vlog!!!!!

[@ThecrackedBrick93]

Looks awesome for sure the raised bit you are working on should be a park I think makes more sense

[@DZstudios.]

You just keep impressing me more and more

[@maryanne.campbell]

Happy Sunday & Happy Mothers Day! I like the train & archway! I was thinking since you have so much light bluish-gray maybe you could redo just the arch in that colour? Make it pop a little against the mountainside?? Love what you’re doing. Thanks for sharing 👏👏

[@_lex_ndre]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@skitz7520]

I think the temple should be raised ever higher!

[@BroughtCat]

Omg man that tunnel build is absolutely amazing, I'm loving how you did the corner cliff edge!!

[@josephd27]

Train tunnel area looks good. Maybe lower that new area by a few bricks and put the ninjago temple on top

[@raulgomezperez3680]

Hey!, you can put instead of a train a tram, and I think it would look awesome to put a small old train as a statue

[@PuntoboyRST]

What an update. The tunnel entrance looks incredible. Looking forward to the next video

[@cynthiastevens4209]

We were just watching your video for today and as you were building the tunnel entrance for the train, I was just telling my husband maybe he should elevate the temple. Then you showed a platform and talked about raising it, and I am thinking, yes, except not as high as the platform. More like it is kind of built into the edge of the cliff. (Another idea: You could also have the tunnel entrance come out perpendicular to how it is and right up against the edge of the end of the raised platform. That would leave you with a little more table space if you needed it.)

[@CakeNO]

I think the temple could go even higher, inspired by the mountain temples of China that sit on very tall mountain tops. The two smaller buildings that came with the temple set could then be placed on either side - one in a park at street level in the gap between the modulars and the temple, and the other one halfway down the cliff edge leading down into the Ninjago area with a winding pathway.

[@eugenebeyleveld2804]

Very Creative. Well done🙌🏼

[@jacob_equestrian1995]

Looks awesome

[@masterchief1507]

Here is a thought have the top of the corner be just above the tunnel and you could put a waterfall from that edge by the modulars down and over the tunnel and continue down towards the Ninjago area

[@cas3157]

Great vlog. Always like to see you build your own moc. For the temple I would : 1- use your medieval cascade curve along the wall, 2- have a small shack on the ground, 3- a little walkway through the mountains 4- another shack midway 5- and then the temple on the platform.

[@ArathixFilms]

I like the idea of the temple going where you originally planned, you have enough space around it you could build a little zen garden park that would transition from the city to ninjago! City is looking so good!

[@pirate1980]

Wow awesome

[@donhebert5054]

That lookout is the coolest. That's definitely where I'd be standing.

[@kiralyka0664]

This looks fantastic

[@justinmsc5]

Ahh the green baseplate!! Should have used gray!! 😭 Great content, enjoying the process!

[@nftacitzakyeart1698]

Wow interesting Lego fans like it 😊😁✌️ childhood yeay🙈😊😎✌️

[@toinedeman8679]

hey jordan, the ticking at the tunnel exit has to do with the train wheels hitting the sidewalk or road part. it isnt the elevation. may help with it but the biggest part about is it the curve and then strait part the train has to do. had the same problems myself in my own city.

[@ThecrackedBrick93]

Yes most likely

[@gwendafishley6368]

Great ideas, looking amazing.

[@brickbro1993]

Wow that train tunnel looks so good! Can't wait to see the finished product. You have lots of great ideas for the city.

[@jeffcolton0902]

Bricksie you are an artist 👨‍🎨

[@thevinylcollector3472]

awesome video jordan i love the new train tunnel it looks amazing

[@xavierlacasse58]

You should build a minifigure scaled Empire State Building for the skyscraper area

[@T8tristan]

Wow you have such insane talent

[@zNxghtmare_7]

Love of the ideas you have there

[@zizzo1163]

When you’ll show us the medieval scene, I’m excited about it

[@ryanorange5872]

You should build some golf carts for the top section

[@klemmbausteinfan112]

i love thr Road Curved. i have this auch in my City LG

[@stubrick5263]

that looks great with the all rocks/burps. the wall depth you choose is a perfect inspiration for my plans upgrading my city. what about a small (walkway) tunnel if you build a separation wall between the upper Modulars and Ninjago district / Airjitzu?

[@MrFace-eg7on]

These city updates are the best!

[@stevencoops]

I know what the clicking noise is at the train track its because you have tiles at the end of the corner (tiles of the side walk) at the end of the tunnel so maybe you can change that so you don’t have the clicking noise anymore good luck fixing that and hope that there are going to be more updates of the city and greetings from the Netherlands.

[@alan2santosm]

amazing progress in the city. killing it . On top of the train tunnel you could build a park plaza viewpoint, with a view of Ninjago city, and some stairs leading to the end of cobblestone road.

[@simonmartin762]

Hey Jordan, enjoyed the vlog, like seeing ideas in progress and developing. You definitely need to hide or replace the coloured pieces in the tunnel entrance plus make the exposed MILS edges solid dark bluish grey because light from the front will still show that area. The temple should be halfway up, same thoughts as Daniel Chee below. Also in line with another comment the tunnel entrance could be light bluish grey to use the arches you have plus it would match the 'man-made' cement sections further along. Just a few thoughts but still think it's looking great, ordered more parts myself to continue my MILS building, amazing how quickly they run out..! Great work 👍😀

[@markparsons1825]

I think the tunnel opening should be light grey.

[@Stephen-zs2he]

City is outstanding great work guys

[@MartinBarreby]

Really nice tunnel entrance! Awesome job! I am not a fan of the road curves though, I would personally keep them pretty much 90° angles, maybe round the corner like you did with the inner curve. I don't like that the white lines kind of go under the curb. But that's just my OCD I guess. :D

[@marcelbooy4344]

Reduce the traintrack 1 base plate .giving the ninjago a bit more breathing space. Put the temple raised in the left corner.yust a thought

[@marknelson2570]

This whole new set up is really really cool

[@nightkat134]

Hey Bricksie! My son & I just wanted to say that we really like the flat arch look. It has "a cool Batman Gothic look".

[@judy3973]

Looks good. Maybe the temple can be half way up the hill? To me by putting it level with the modulars it would seem out of place.

[@cheeeze6459]

Train tunnel looks good! I like your idea about extending the modular buildings on top of the tunnel, and maybe then keep that mountain side going behind ninjago and in the corner of the walls put the temple back there, you could still raise it up so it’s higher than ninjago and have a path leading up to it and still build it moving towards the camp ground area. I think it would look good because it would add some height to the opposite end of the skyscrapers instead of the middle were the forest/ninjago area meets with the city. Looking forward to seeing the tunnel come together!

[@bce6920]

I think the top of the cliffs should be a park/lookout area and the temple should go on a raised cliff on the other side in the corner

[@ericnguyen3636]

Lego ikea collab boxes are in Lego scaling can be used as internal support structure/ risers.

[@Nitrotix1]

The background section of the Ninjago area should have some kind of vertical cliffs and rock formations that are seen in China/Japan. Some water falls going into the water and the temple should be on a steeper mountain with a path going up to it.

[@joemann7353]

Monkie kid flower fruit mountain for the Waterfall

[@porterwihelm969]

This is so cool

[@GariClarkngb]

Great ideas, Jordan. It’s coming together nicely 👍

[@miracmete3519]

it would be cool if you try to build a bat cave under the platform entered by the waterfall

[@irishfootballerhd1520]

Great video

[@kenzieandfriends]

That train tunnel underneath is a great idea. Is the final loop going to include other parts of the city?

[@camilolondono18]

Could be a water fall in the lake of Ninja go?

[@nelsryan6442]

I think the temple on top of the cliff edge would look great! Also maybe a water fall similar to what you have in the mid-evil scene could be interesting back there

[@willemplugge950]

Tip: Maybe you can make a small station on the inside of the ''cave'', through which the train passes!

[@TheOtherGuys2]

I think the temple would look great on a platform maybe halfway up the height of the cliff, then with the shops or whatever below it. Also, I saw a movie the other day with a character who seems to have almost exactly your sort of cadence and speaking pattern that you have in these videos. Looked a bit like you, too. It was Sam Rockwell's character in the remake of Poltergeist. :P Reminded me of you a lot.

[@PaPasBricks]

The temple would look great on top, with a look over and maybe setting areas with some small food carts

[@TurtleBurger681]

If you're gonna put the temple on the mountain by Ninjago then you should also put the spring lantern festival over there.

[@SkinnerNoah]

One thing your city might be missing is a cathedral. A gray stone church or a gleaming marble mosque would make a beautiful addition

[@JesusChrist-gc7lx]

I think the temple would look great on the cliff top, with a platform half the height for the two huts. Add a creek and waterfall coming from behind the temple down by the huts and then to water around the Ninjago area.

[@MAIASweden]

I would go for a corner modular building with a restaurant or cafe, add a outdoor eating area and an observation deck above the tunnel with those big coin-binoculars...

[@ironbloodbricks8715]

Have you considered making the tunnel entrance flush with the short edge of the platform instead of building the cliff off the side? It will save you more display room for where you originally wanted the temple, and cut back on pieces you need for the cliff.

[@Bricksie]

I did test that, but the track is still curving there so the entrance would have to be wider. Hard to explain via text

[@ironbloodbricks8715]

@@Bricksie I get what you mean, is there room for one more track back towards the wall on both sides to possibly alter the curve path since you don’t see exactly where the train is under there once it is all finalized or would that run into issues with the platform legs?

[@jpc8601]

consider creating a waterfall and path up to the temple. love how the city is coming along.

[@klockibymichael4825]

wow man its amaizing !!!! Awesome!!!!! :) I like it :)

[@cam3ron993]

Temple up top looks good, maybe the waterfall underneath it.
