My LEGO city's Aquarium 🐠🐟🦈

[@samuell.siskind]

So excited for this kind of content’s return! Thanks Jang!

[@elijahnorthamsardelic7704]

Agreeeedddddd!!!!

[@ogelpeace4610]

Me too, his city is the best

[@schoolofrockcary6625]

I could imagine coming home from a stressful day of work and just having a good, long chill in front of this, and I'm 100% sure that stress would evaporate away 😍

[@memyselfishness]

The lighting is so unbelievably realistic. It's amazing!

[@bball3048mmfr]

As a vicarious AFOL, you made my Lego experience the best it can be. Thank you for doing this channel for all of us.

[@FelipeVinhao]

Both of the things I enjoyed in this area: how the Defense Force Base looks like one of those areas in open world video games that are accessible during only a specific mission, and how the aquarium is really connected to the zoo and not a fake connection.

[@Zenlore6499]

It’s like a Where’s Waldo of underwater life! It’s beautifully overwhelming, in a somehow not overwhelming way! 😮 Love the minifigure creature heads for aliens and stuff used for fish!

[@BroughtCat]

This is absolutely brilliant especially the transition section from the normal zoo area into the mountain section revealing the aquarium.

[@tabletopstudios66]

Easily my FAVORITE part of your city! Always loved ocean related stuff. The coral colors really POP!

[@kylekasprenski9512]

The unique usage of parts for coral and other undersea plants always amazed me! Looks great!

[@ptnnguyen]

You read my mind - I can keep looking at it and never get tired of it! I love the part usage for coral and there's so many little details that I can keep re-watching this and see something new. This is amazing and I love the shape of the aquarium glass. Even the curved opening/cut out is so nicely done! A trackless train ride to tour the aquarium is such a fun idea!

[@carvin112]

Jang, you could literally do an entire city walk-through anytime you changed so much as a brick and I'd watch. Your channel(s) is always what I put on when I just want a break from the craziness of the world.

[@legogenius22]

LOVE the burps from the divers subtheme with the fish on them, fits perfectly, and love the eyes on the glow in the dark octopus from that undersea Agents set! Absolutely beautiful! Edit: I just noticed the swamp creatures moon stone from monster fighters! That's super creative part usage.

[@logan317b]

I love the lighting, it really makes it feel like it's full of water

[@seanlavoie2]

Worth revisiting!!! ^_^ It really is impressive and I had to show my daughter it too. Really enjoying the glimpses of the Zoo. Looks really impressive! Has there been a full video of the way it looks now? I’m open to more revisit videos too! Whatever you want at your own time. Even older builds like that amazing Mall!

[@andrewclark6822]

I think the size of the aquarium really builds on the immersion. Growing up, visiting aquariums, I was always in awe of the huge open displays that made me think I was actually in the "big blue".

[@SenseiBricks]

Probably my favourite part of your city. I think I might get some sea creatures like yours in the future (the piranhas look great), so the Ninjago Seabound scenery I want to make can look convincing

[@themacbot]

The macbot is highly impressed by this exquisite creation. All of the creative part usage, the lighting and backdrop culminates in a breathtaking and atmospheric journey. One would believe they themselves are visiting the aquarium along with those lucky minifigures.

[@Obbliteration]

Are you an ai?

[@KidarWolf]

Oh, my favorite bit, by far, as nerdy as it sounds, is the use of crown gears to create coral dishes, that's just fabulously clever!

[@Octo-Genius]

The aquarium's gorgeous- the layout, construction, lighting. It really evokes the mood of being in a real one, on a lego scale. It nails the feeling. Really inspiring stuff.

[@neurodivergentbrick979]

The parts usage is so mind-blowing and brilliant. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a build that genuinely makes me feel such a peaceful happiness as your aquarium does. Excellent work!!

[@Stinkles_]

So cool! Not only is it impressive on its own, but I love the way it’s set underneath the mountain. It’s like a glowing hidden gem amid the grey rock and concrete.

[@alexwilkins558]

I had no idea that Lego made a angler fish. the lighting really makes the colours of the coral reef pop , love it.

[@lilskutt8848]

Love the use of the crystals from monster hunters as seaweed.

[@tlac4120]

Your aquarium inspired me to build an underwater scene. It started as 18 x 16 studs two years ago. Then, a year ago, I created two scenes: coral reef and deep sea. Both 60 x 30 studs. And in the last weeks they expanded to 95 x 30 studs each. Two whole Billy shelves! And I have a smile on my face, every time I see them. Thank you, Jang!

[@Lego6980]

I do also love your original shopping mall and hope you’ll never remove it. It has a great skylight on it. I would like to make it, what they call in the UK, a ‘listed building’, which means officially it must be preserved.

[@taqresu5865]

I think my favorite part of your aquarium is it's lighting, it really enhances the build. I also really like the little train tour for the Zoo, it's a fun idea.

[@BrickHQ]

This is probably the best Lego aquarium I've seen. The details and lighting are amazing It would look cool to add foliage parts from the Avatar sets, as they're very colorful

[@TacoLhikan]

I absolutely love that there’s multiple octopuses in there! I especially like the little one, the dynamic angle is super cool. I also really enjoy how you managed to capture the vibe of an aquarium. I could sit and watch a bunch of fish for hours, and it feels the same here!

[@IARESMART8]

The lighting really makes this build, I've never considered using light in my builds, but this looks really cool

[@jaymatson870]

A beautiful work of art honestly, it really gives me the same vibe that I get when seeing real aquariums too. Really captures that sense of beauty and awe.

[@Grel1963]

The lighting for the aquarium is amazing.

[@BrooksBricks]

I absolutely love this aquarium -- soooo well done, and the lighting just takes up up an whole other level to really give it an aura of feeling like it's in fact in an underground cave / space!

[@LazyTurtle921]

I love the use of head molds/head pieces used solely as fish, made me chuckle a bit, and definitely a great idea

[@thrillhouse4151]

It gives me a warm an fuzzy feeling to see the old “burp” piece with the fish stickers on it from the Divers theme.

[@Super1234Ron]

I personally prefer the right part with those "coral pieces" the most, could be those bright colors for me and my own diving experiences in the Carabic seas. Well done Jang.🥰

[@Gamer_Dylan_6]

Your mall build got me back into Lego after my dark age. It's wonderful to see you continue.

[@voxumo]

I really like the use of what I believe is the exo-force cable to put the jellyfish at a unique angle. Also look forward to seeing the sea squids, such a redundant name they were given in retrospect, added.

[@Lordodragonss]

Aquariums like these make me wish Lego made a bigger window piece. LOVE the use of all Lego ninjago movie helmets!

[@Chopperchumpy]

And the ultraviolet esk lighting is breathtaking. If I walked around that corner and saw this I would gasp in astonishment.

[@Insane_IK]

Wow, the detail and life in the aquarium is amazing! So many cool parts and techniques, I especially love the old style gears being used as coral. I'm continually blown away by your work in this channel - thank you!

[@emmettito]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the tunnel cut outs. The Zoo/Aquarium is one of my favorite parts of your layout and have loved seeing it evolve over the years. Thanks for sharing Jang! ❤️

[@WilliamMcCluskey13]

You nailed the lighting.

[@mtwi]

I prefer this mountain the most, finally someone who is doing something with that space inside

[@kayfse8373]

Hands down your aquarium is one of the best lego aquariums I've seen. It inspires me to attempt my own. I like the gear parts used as coral pieces

[@michaelyoung7261]

This is the sort of detail dive that makes me wish I could come and just let me eyes explore the city for an entire day just to try and find all the beautiful things that can be found

[@redbrickproductions977]

I love the use of the Monster Fighter Moonstone as one of the coral type pieces! I also love how in both your aquarium and underwater displays you use technic gears to represent types of coral too! It is very clever and creative!

[@CaptnSkelly]

I'm mostly impressed by the way you lit it all up. It really feels like you are in a real aquarium. Great work!

[@celestek.b.5257]

I've seen this aquarium multiple times in videos or pictures or whatever, and yet it still took me until just now to realize the large clear panels aren't in line with each other. Super subtle detail, but I love it! Awesome techniques and love the build!

[@jarroddavis2876]

I didn't even know lego made that many fish pieces. So much variety and colour, the lighting adds a lot to it too

[@NeonSupernovaUPW]

Dude, this Aquarium is absolutely fun and so cool. Love how you've lit the area and the way you've left it open (for us huge figures) to enjoy, is nice. And even though it's open so it can be enjoyed, if you were on a subway train and passed that space, it would be quite magical.

[@marcelbot1857]

Hi Jang, so good to see you back on KZbin. My youngest son was always looking forward to see the updates on your zoo and specifically the aquarium. He loved the aquarium very much. It looks great. Thank you for sharing your creations with us. You are very talented. Keep up the good work.

[@Tech_Marauder]

I love how this looks. What’s the pink octopus piece bottom left at 3:40?

[@Mr_Waffle.]

Love the aquarium, the lighting makes it so realistic. As an aside, the little black curtains along the bottom of the tables in the centre walkway really help clean up the look of the city!

[@WardMaris]

Can’t wait to see what the future of this channel has in store for us! Keep up the great work and keep enjoying this!

[@MatthewLouis06]

I remember seeing your old aquarium when I was a kid and I always loved it, this looks so good now!

[@Mr.BlobFishy]

I love all the different fish in this aquarium, i didn't even know lego made all these fish! nice usage of the different plants it really makes it look real.

[@cricketben6742]

all the headpieces that are used as fish are very clever. For me the most special part usage are the old grey gears as corals in the background!

[@vanessagrosser6002]

I like the old aquarium but it’s still good all of it is good I could never build all of that 😀

[@dylanlewis4949]

The aquarium looks amazing Jang, feel free to share some more stuff that was only shown on Patreon and Twitch, it's really cool to see.

[@alycynde5237]

Just love that aquarium. This is the kind of thing that makes me want to make one out of Lego. The blue glow is awesome and feels really authentic.

[@empatheticrambo4890]

I totally agree...I love aquariums so so so much. They’re a beautiful meditation on nature

[@natd2330]

I love the entry to the aquarium from the zoo! It is so inviting! And I love how you managed to make the sea life appear buoyant. I'm sure that wasn't easy to accomplish but you've pulled it off nicely.

[@LlanoRiverBlue]

I love all the fish headpieces from Atlantis and the LEGO Ninjago Movie just used as fish. Cool to see how many wacky molds LEGO has made.

[@Howlox]

Oh my god you're right, I didn't even notice that. That's clever!

[@xinlu2806]

The lighting is really next level! Also it feels good to see updates on the city again!

[@emmagrove6491]

Very nice! Love the lighting! I like how the zoo train goes by it too. Who DOESN'T find looking at an aquarium peaceful?

[@danielunderwood5217]

could you imagine this in real life? You are riding a train and as it starts to approach a mountain, a voice comes on the PA saying that you are approaching and will pass right underneath the Planetanry defense force base. Then, as you enter the tunnel, everything goes black. but instead of the tunnel remaining completely black, it suddenly opens on the left side, the iridescent blue light floods the train, and you look over and there is an aquarium under the mountain. Coolest train ride ever

[@san_venganza10]

One of my favorite animals in the aquarium is the hammerhead shark. I remember being super excited when LEGO released sets with it for the first time.

[@kaizokuAUTO]

The use of a Space Police alien head for one of the Aquarium fish is excellent!

[@jdmerkt]

Pure brilliance. You have quite the artistic eye. I love aquariums, and I think I could stare at your creation for hours even though it's not actual sealife. It certainly gives the impression of being real.

[@alastara]

Lovin the super high saturation from the deep blue in the background - it really helps those otherwise easily hidden or unnoticeable parts stand out!

[@davescheuch9481]

Lighting and color of fish and other items in the aquarium look great. It really looks larger than the actual size. Some of the parts are so unique (one looks like a gear) and work will. Nice job.

[@Tiishen]

I love the build for that white and yellow bit of coral directly in the center of the aquarium, and how it tapers towards the bottom with the technic piece and claw/fang pieces

[@carefulfoil7513]

I just noticed that the window panels cascade. Thats awesome! It would be cool if you could see an aquarium on an actual train. I hope you keep having fun.

[@Crodily]

The use of technic gear pieces for gray/dead coral is awesome

[@KlossKK]

I can't even put in words how happy I am that such content is back! Its amazing to see the city again: great job on the lighting and the background of the aquarium!

[@CBMX_GAMING]

one of the best uses of lighting I've seen in a LEGO build for sure, and the way it's integrated both for minifigs and people IRL to look at is great. good stuff

[@hughjass846]

The imagination and creativity to produce something like this is mind-blowing.

[@itwasfoodpoisoning...6067]

Just so impressive! Imagine this through the eyes of a minifig sitting in a train slowly pssing by… breathtaking!

[@lbricks7631]

I really liked this little retrospective.

[@2003stephlg]

I really appreciate the lighting you used to give the look and feel of a real aquarium filled with water. Aquariums are so relaxing and I get the same feeling looking at your Lego creation. I also like all of the plant and marine life you have included.

[@1000dots]

I choose to believe the Planetary Defence Force's have their own entrance to the aquarium for meetings and stuff. Maybe they sometimes train for missions on ocean worlds in there :)

[@resmues]

It makes me so happy to see you enjoy this channel again. I love being able to hear your smile when you talk about this amazing build

[@nikolajbjersing4179]

I love the brickbuild jellyfish on a transparent stick!🐠🐬

[@ven950]

Gosh i love this display so much. It's just so awesome. The unconventional parts usage for a lot of the coral is fantastic. My favorite things, though, have to be the Space Police III Jawson head and the Atlantis Fish head being turned into full fish. It's so cute. Great stuff jang :3

[@CalebDennis1]

Space Police II was the second Lego theme that I got real into after the original Batman series, so I'm happy to see one of the bad guys from that theme in such a prominent place in the aquarium.

[@adamb2619]

Jang this is great! I kinda want to tank an old 25 gallon fish tank I have and try to create something as beautiful as this!

[@batsamd]

Like how minifig head pieces were used to create fish, especially from the Ninjago Movie figures. Didn’t know the black whale with white spot near dorsal fin that is in center top of aquarium existed. Great aquarium! 👍

[@defenderprime8046]

I love underwater scenes like that, the aquarium is looking just about perfect to me! Great work, Jang!

[@JPHarringtonJr]

I love this. Really balanced concentration of plant and animal in the aquarium.

[@natbarmore]

3:14 I like the fish made using an Space Police III fish-alien head.

[@JonatanGronoset]

I'm amazed how it actually looks like it's filled with water! My brain has to stop for a while after thinking "Wait are those LEGO panels realy holding back all that water?" but I know it's no water there. Very convincing effects!

[@marniejade]

This has always been my favorite part of your city; the zoo is a second. Thank you for the close up. I have a small Jurassic Park scene on the top of my Lego shelf city; (kinda of a zoo), and the dinosaurs are running rampart throughout my city streets. My one unifying theme

[@eddieman9589]

Great to see the city again, so glad to have you back Jang! The city is looking amazing!

[@pukelust]

That lighting is just *chef's kiss*. Very impressive stuff.

[@nathonso_edits]

Love how you used some minifigure head parts from Atlantis and the Ninjago movie sets!

[@Z.R.CedarCrescent]

This is the quality of build I aspire to with my builds, I love it.

[@joelh.2124]

I really appreciate the usage of the Ninjago Movie bad guy helmets and the Chima swords. :)

[@mrt5684]

Your ideas are so cool I just love the whole mountain, defence base, zoo, aquarium and train tunnel combo how you put it together. But the best thing is how it works so smoothly. Just an awesome job!

[@PuncakeLena]

I've really missed this content. Glad to see the regular updates return!

[@mostly_3rd_trombone869]

It’s incredible seeing your city again, absolutely astonishing. So excited to see it evolve and change over time!
