Now that's enough: LEGO Wheat Field Insanity!

Finishing the massive LEGO Wheat Field - and continuing the Castle!

[@justbon_]

For the film set: you should add a small crash mat, so that knight doesn't hurt himself during that fall

[@RussTi]

Great idea!!

[@fomod_]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@griffenrice2070]

That would be great!

[@user-dm6pm4jn6v]

Yeah was going to say that🤣

[@jayone8891]

And a catering table. With the director sitting on a chair holding a phone up talking about the next project. In town there could be 'coming soon' adverts for the movie

[@screwuk]

Maybe for the wheat field: - A scarecrow - A snake chasing a harvest mouse - A combine harvester (Please!) Film set = fantastic idea. I'm so invested in this ha. It's so very impressive

[@jugatsumikka]

Kids beginning a crop circle maybe.

[@PjeterYT]

@@jugatsumikka Amazing idea :)

[@joelkok1519]

Love the idea of a harvester too😍

[@wawi42]

I'd suggest adding tramlines to the field if you want to make it more realistic

[@mitchratka3661]

Having the harvester be in the middle and seperate the harvested/fully grown wheat would look sooooo satisfying

[@azeemtravadi6128]

I think a cool idea would be one or two knights in chairs with phones or coffee cups, because theyre on break

[@pineapplepreachers6607]

You won't get away without adding a combine, a tractor with a trailer and farmers to that half-harvested wheat field.

[@geo.luke.]

o just a Farmhouse with barn, and parked tractor

[@WhiskerProductions60149]

That’s what I was thinking

[@grandpagohan1]

I have to say, turning the knight battle into a movie set was an absolute stroke of genius. A very clever way to both get some historical story-telling in a historical setting, but still keeping it within the timeframe of the rest of the town. I absolutely LOVE this idea!

[@tomonmars]

likewise!

[@Dertberr]

a tractor harvesting the wheat would really sell that chopped up look

[@PjeterYT]

I agree :)

[@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers]

That's a great idea. Something old-fashioned like an Allis-Chalmers.

[@MasterSandman]

A suggestion concerning the Keep... not only shoud it be higher, it should also be bigger in circumfence. As the Keep was not only the last defence for the Lord of the castle, his family and servants, it was also the safe haven for the peasants from the surrounding farms, that were under the Lord's protection! There had to be chambers (with sleeping arrangements) to house everyone (the Lord and his family, the servants, the peasants, the soldiers, etc.), seprated dining areas, kitchens and pantries, an Armory, corridors to connect everything, a general assembly area and more of the like. As an indicator for the size you'd be looking for... Take the current keep, raise it by 30 to 50% and that at least times 4 (square floorplan) or perhaps even 6! (witha rectangular floorplan)! This whole project looks amazing I'd love to see what's next! Happy building! 👍

[@acubley]

Wasn't the Keep usually the original building? A fort or such originally that as the area grew more prosperous the Lord would build up.

[@LadyGhoost]

Came here to say this, so glad that someone else already had. 😁

[@esmecullen8943]

Yes I agree it should be so much bigger, it’s more than just a tower!

[@plasticbazooka]

​@@acubleyIt depends, I suppose, on the intent of the builders. Sometimes a castle was built around a pre-existing manor, other times a manor/keep was built with the intent of building a castle around it, and finally, rather commonly, the former was initially the case but over time the manor was torn down and replaced with a larger, properly defensible keep.

[@acubley]

@@plasticbazooka Ah, TY :-)

[@MainlineThruTheRockies]

I kinda like the fun dynamic of seeing the castle guys from the outside and thinking “oh hey, it’s just some guards doing a little battle”, only to come around to the back and realize “oh!! It’s a film crew! That’s fun!”

[@pinkpixie8686]

yeah, but i dont think people will be able to get around the back, i think they said they will block it off for guests, witch makes sense considering most of the back has support structures on show, so guests won't be able to see any of the film crew stuff.

[@MainlineThruTheRockies]

[@gregsprogamer]

[@PjeterYT]

Looks amazing as always :) Maybe an idea: Add a part where they're harvesting the field that moment (like adding a wheat harvester, tractors etc)

[@RagingTortellini]

I was coming down to recommend this

[@legogonegaming]

You could also put minifigures with scythes cutting the crops as a public demonstration with tourist or just a scene.

[@PjeterYT]

@@legogonegaming the field is big Already, I like your Idea and I think they could Both fit

[@Mogswamp]

So much amazing progress and so many cool techniques showcased in this video and yet the big standout for me was the recently harvested part of the wheat field... Sometimes it's the little things that really make the difference for world building

[@AsterBTT]

Another idea for the minifigs in the Castle could be archeologists or historians doing some sort of field research or surveying of the castle's remains, and/or a field trip of younger kids. The movie set is interesting, but feels a bit on-the-nose to me. Overall I love it though! Love the idea of the wheat partially-harvested, and would love to see a combine nearby!

[@SKy_the_Thunder]

Yeah, a handful of old folks with measuring equipment and some geolocation markers, documenting the exact layout of the castle.

[@juliusveldman]

Why not both?

[@user-yd6dx6mk7w]

Sucker😊

[@TheQballChannel]

I like it how the film crew is hidden/blocked/in the keep. Seeing the medieval soldiers fighting makes you ask "Why are they fighting" -- through exploration, you find the film crew!

[@pinkpixie8686]

yeah, but i dont think people will be able to get around the back, i think they said they will block it off for guests, witch makes sense considering most of the back has support structures on show, so guests won't be able to see any of the film crew stuff and you cant really see it from the side either.

[@TheMeGuy1]

Just some thoughts: -The towers of the castle should have doors (or empty archways) where they meet the walls. -The wheat field looks cool but also a bit too uniform, maybe move the scarecrow into the middle of it, and make a few small "harvested wheat" patches to simulate some dead stalks and to break it up. Maybe for the big harvested section, you could make the edge less straight/blocky and put some farmers in there with baskets and scythes actively harvesting it.

[@user-mq4eb2xz1o]

You could make the castle keep wider as well as taller to it more presence, as well as having walls coming off it to the main walls to create a seperate inner section of rhe castle for a last stand. Also, including an attacking camp witj seige equipment made from cutting down the nearby trees and having some skirmishing or rienforcements from outside the castle, could also look really good.

[@andersmoore]

A guided tour group at the castle would be really nice too. Especially if some of the kids snuck away and were spying on the film set.

[@BasedTradCathMale]

Love the update as always. Always super exciting and fun to watch. Honestly usually one of the best parts of my week (and my sibling's week too for that matter)! Three suggestions: 1. I think to be more realistic you should expand the film crew a little bit. Add tents, maybe a food area, and most certainly a director's chair for some ideas. 2. Make the Castle Keep larger, and taller. Maybe put it back further and have the castle "disappear" off the build. It'd allow for a more realistically sized Keep. 3. Add farmers harvesting the wheat. It'd be much more clear what that area is, plus, it would be a nice addition since it'd be so close to the viewer.

[@mr.goines1684]

And the Director, lets assume its Brickley Scott (guess the one in red with the tie is the director), should face the scene not the crew.

[@redtomato4903]

I think that having the film set inside of the castle is better, as it kinda hides them and makes it a surprise to see. It would be a nice twist for people seeing it for the first time, as from the outside you can only see the knights

[@pinkpixie8686]

[@JurassicJ_1234]

Just for me and my other Scottish viewers can you add a bagpiper in the castle grounds also put a combine or a tractor harvesting the wheat

[@Hendricus56]

He did mention that he plans to do that in the German version of the video, so it will most likely happen

[@lukewolsey]

And for me and my fellow English viewers, can you not add a bagpiper 🤣

[@_EF_]

I've been watching for 2 years now, crazy how much has changed. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Nyllsor]

Same here! :)

[@BallhogHoops]

Brickcrafts, I have an idea. In the newly built wheat section, you should make a tractor with a tilling thing on the back to make the field come to life, like it just harvested the area you made shorter. Maybe even a barn too!!

[@jakedye172]

this is one of my favorite updates so far, every bit was just beautiful and the film crew might be my favorite story addition. I had quite a sad night and i thank you for brightening it truly. much love as always

[@asd24817]

this is truly the best lego city ever. i’d recommend adding some ivy or vines on the castle walls like you did on the abandoned factory

[@LKBRICKS1993]

The city is looking great. The castle is coming along nicely. The filming crew is a excellent addition to it.

[@breitve]

what you could do to add height to the castle keep is a wooden structure on top, as was fairly common to have. with a sloped roof to protect any archers on top from plunging fire as the arrows would have been fired upwards, and thus coming down again from above to reach up to them. it would also add some contrast for the build with the browns of wood to break up all the mostly gery of the stone

[@timschols4834]

Love these update videos, looking amazing! A suggestion for the wheat field: Place them on large tiles so that you can swap a fully grown field for a harvested field or a ploughed field more easily. That way, if you want to change the season for your scene, you don't spend hours removing one and putting another in its place. It'd also allow you to play with the underground color a bit, like turning it brown for the ploughed field.

[@callmetristan5075]

you should add a combine harvester on the part of the wheat field where the wheat's already been harvested!

[@LucPeso]

For the cultivated field you should add a tractor that is harvesting the crop. For the castle I think you should add an open door or fortify the walls near the entrance, because it's a bit empty. Anyway, fantastic work, I can't wait for the next video.

[@thundercatnighthorse4865]

Wheat field could have a couple of workers with scythes harvesting the wheat. It would make for a neat bit of storytelling.

[@toxie_]

Wonderful idea to add a film set!! I think you should add a dirt road up the mountain to the castle entrance, as that'll also give the film crew a way to have access! Maybe add a couple cars too?

[@theromanticavacodo]

I just recently visited a castle... I have a good idea. You could make a hole in the hill by the wall of the mountain, and make an interior for a little dungeon!

[@the-human-being]

Plz add a cathedral!! it would add so much!😊

with backlit stained glasses. Or maybe a just small church in the castle?

[@BazukinBelyugovich]

Was just thinking the same thing. A Gothic cathedral would be an awesome addition to this project!

[@beepboop306]

Love the idea of the castle being used to film a movie. Moving them outside can create a new story where they’re defending the entrance from the attackers

[@ARDIZsq]

I’m not sure how practical it would be, but I think a miniature castle would be interesting so the directors can block out where they want shots to go. I also think a clothing rack with tons of tunics and such could be interesting, and maybe a refreshment table for the staff. Also the signature directors chair could be neat if it’s possible to build one of those.

A suggestion concerning the castle is to enlarge the gatehouse. It should at least be a tower for an improved defense system. The keep should also be upgraded and include residential and storage space. English medieval Keeps are great inspiration for such project. Btw great video, keep up the good work!

[@johnjuiceshipper4963]

The support structures behind the mountain could feature a very meta scene of some LEGO kids exploring it with flashlights, slowly realizing their entire world is artificial, even the mountains.

[@Flyoff1234]

For the inner castle keep, add a secondary ring beneath the tower and make it larger. This will help keep the grounds from feeling empty.

[@claytonwiley6623]

I LOVE the updates in this video, the film crew was such a genius move. I went to a hand-worked farm recently and in the middle of their corn field, there was a big oak tree and small clearing for picnics and stuff that you had to find your way through the corn field to get to. Not the most practical for efficient agriculture, but it could be a good way to break up the monotony of the wheat and add some nice detail close to the museum viewers. Also I think a hiking path from the town to the castle might be an easy way to tie the sections together a bit.

[@tardismole]

"Fine story telling, if you ask me." Haha. No arrogance at all. Love it. I haven't seen this done before. The progress is amazing.

[@monitorlizardkid8253]

The idea that the castle battle is just some film crew shooting their own version of "monty python and the holy grail" or something, is brilliant! As an amatuer filmmaker myself, I approve.

[@esmecullen8943]

The keep really needs to be bigger - taller and wider. It’s not just a tower, it was used for food storage, housing the lord and his clan, and protecting the entire village from invaders on occasion. It would also be cool if you did a secret dungeon or crypt under the tower too

[@AlonsoFan2023]

I agree, at the moment it looks more like just another tower.

[@olafmesschendorp147]

The amount of work you put into this is incredible! And the progress amazes me every time. There is a lot of extra potential in the forest imo. Wildlife, lumber industry (or just 1 guy), hunters/huntercamp, a small forest fire, campfires, berrydeposits etc. Such things would make it feel more and more allive, which is something you really want right :D

[@Shashu_the_little_Voidling]

Seeing the castle in the background from behind the mountain really made me realise how massive this project actually is. Like, I know it's big, but sometimes while being zoomed in on one section, you lose track of just how much stuff there really is

[@shavranotheferanox7809]

If you have a field that is only partially harvested, you absolutely should add a tractor that is in the process of harvesting, and i genuinely still think a very small vignette of a bear with a beehive being chased by bees would be hilarious
