So do you just have hundreds of buckets filled with 10s of thousands of bricks? How do you organize them all? Do you find you’re modifying what you want to make based on what you have?

[@K3b1bisLtu]

Will you build vehicles and minifigures or will it just be the empty buildings, roads and train tracks?

[@nerdbrick1012]

This looks beautiful so far oml

[@schwarzerritter5724]

Your mini layout shows how smart Lego is designed. 5 bricks are as high (ignoring the studs) as 6 bricks are wide. Divided by 3, 5 plates are as high (again, ignoring the studs) as 2 bricks are wide. A brick resting sideways on the studs of the baseplate is as high as a bricks standing upright on the baseplate (you guessed it, ignoring the studs). You can tel I am a Lego Technic guy.

[@SynphulHero]

[@lokiloki6073]

That's a great project, I love the SNOT roads and the elevation changes. We don't see them that often. Great video also, the editing is on point. Do you plan on making the layout modular (divisible into sub sections) ? That would make the transport and display at exhibitions much easier, and need to be thought before starting building.

[@chriszethird]

I had a lego city when I was a kid at my grandparents house it had its own table and everything just for it. But one day my sister let two kids she was babysitting come over and play with it and they took everything apart and destroyed the whole city. I was so devastated I never had the will power to try and put it back together plus alot of the parts were missing and so were the instructions.

Very good way to organize a downtown. But very costly in bricks too... I do my best with standard road base plates, and I connect the different buildings accordingly. For example, for Police Station, the base plate are already included as well as modulars.

[@kvestudios9364]

I really like how you're using bricks for the streets instead of base plates. It looks more like the streets in IRL.

[@jguy6781]

It looks awesome , It is a really expensive way to do it.

[@OutOfTheBoxThinker]

Road & pavement seem inconvenient for if you want stationary pedestrians or cars on your roads. You'd need to break up the streets & angled pavements & replace the bricks where you want your pedestrians & cars with parts that have studs on the side, so you can attach them to the road. The looks is quite awesome, though!

[@glasslicker2829]

Mann... this is just a big flex. You have so...so many bricks and a “lego Big Brain.”

That was an incredibly good video. I rarely saw a video as clean and easy to follow than this one.

[@Notveryimpressed]

Liked the roads, especially the potholes. One thing I'd be careful of is density of stuff. A lot of builders absolutely fill their cities with masses of hugely detailed models which can look good, but don't neglect having some space!

[@LionBricks]

Less is more! I’m a minimalist so no worries haha
