Adding Massive Platforms to my LEGO City! 

You need to bring back the Observatory, and place it near the highest point. Observatories are always placed on mountain tops to reduce the amount of atmosphere between the telescope and the sky. I think it might be interesting to be amongst the winter village and a ski slope.

It's amazing how much of a difference a little bit of mixed elevation makes to really bring a city to life

For the winter area: What about creating a ski hill that leads into a winter village? Could have lots of fun stories and features on the mountain (jumps, rails, moguls, yeti, gondola, etc)

Love how tall the winter village will be. Def a good choice for it. Looking really good.

Jordan, the city and countryside is looking amazing. Can’t wait to see how you create mountains and all of the details. One thing that you had mentioned in this video was snow White cabin you consider adding a small mine entrance in the mountains near snow White and the dwarf cabin. Yes it would definitely break up the mountain side. Its a small detail maybe a mine car with coaster track, the mine coming out of it and mine access tunnel. And lastly, congratulations being in time magazine such a wonderful article they did about you and the other AFOL’s.

Two things, throw the observatory up on one of the tallest mountains, in real life we put them at high elevation to reduce the affects the atmosphere has on images. Second I think the winter village should be in a valley surrounded by ski slopes, a single road in with slopes surrounding the village

Just a thought on the winter village. You could have the fantasy/North Pole themed sets up high in the mountain and have the reality based theme lower or at the base of the mountain. Looking great! Can't wait to watch the progress!

A grand bridge from the winter village to the center mountain would look great!

I enjoy you talking through your thoughts and prefer seeing the whole process! Thanks for sharing!

If you raise the winter village by a lot on a tall wooden platform, you might have space underneath to build a cool cave diorama eventually

It's wild how different the city looks with the raised platforms! They look really cool.

I love the extra height Jordan, please say your going to build a massive cave inside

I am so excited for the rest of the mountain work! I think that where the winter village will be should have a curvy road up to the top and have some house at the top and some next the the road going up!

You need to add the Robot World Roller Coaster and Space Roller Coaster in your amusement park soon.

It would be super cool to have a gravel road going up the mountain

Heck yeah!! Exciting

This is gonna be great! Careful bringing the raised tables to the edge of the regular table so you still have room to build the mountain side on that part too

@1:50.. oh, STOW your lawnmower away, at first I heard throw it away 😄

Can't wait to see the new winter village, will be epic up higher! Would be cool to add a summer lake or golf course in the hills near the houses/amusement park

I can vision it, it's going to look amazing how you will make the mountains to cover up the elevations ❤

You could do the winter village in the top of the mountains, so it make sense the snow.

I hope you can build a really sketchy serpentine road up to the winter village. Finally some height!

You need a bob sleigh run too!!!

I have an idea, how about making a frozen lake in between the winter village and the mountain range. Maybe a custom winter castle?

Hey Bricksie! Congrats on getting into Time Magazine!

the winter village on the great big platform is a great idea

Under the winter village is a perfect place for a series of caves that can be closed off on the wall side with trans clear panels for viewing. Like an ant farm.

Happy to see the Winter Village buildings in the planning stage. People say white makes things look bigger but I think the baseplate really show how big the table is.

Need a train on the "mountain" going through tunnels... 😉👍✅😜 And winter village at the very top !!!

If u plan to make different levels and peaks to the mountains I think it would be cool if u placed some of the other ninjago temples on them

looks good

Ski Hill and Ski Lift would be awesome at some point, Lego has done a lot of ski resort kits and equipment in the past

Great job! Looks like a massive step forward

I look forward to the landscape looking less boxy. Also something I noticed when you were showing off the landscapes in Billund was that they were still like the sets, very tight together so they packed in a lot of detail in small spaces. The tendency is for MOCs to take up a lot more space than they need to. Think small, I think that's a good thing to keep in mind when building anything.

Maybe the winter village in a hidden valley? It is a magical place :) 15:32

Has a idea some part in the mountain should be a cliff. I think it would be very cool even if it's at the winter village. Keep up the good work

HIGHER!!!!!!

The winter village will be cool at that height if there is snow around it, if not it will look strange. The observatory will look great if its higher

An alpine coaster into the amusement park would be cool.

Wow this is amazing, do you think you could make a lego warehouse with a miniture city with you and your family?

Maybe the Winter Village is hidden behind the mountains? Like the “secret North Pole” type of vibe

You should build the red coaster into the side of the mountain, like remove some of the white legs so the coaster is close to the ground, or could even carve a channel out for some of the track.

Duplo for big builds? It fits in Lego!

I prefer hearing your thought processes! Please don't stop doing it.

Looks awesome!!! 😎

It just gets better and better everyday!!! One thing I think would be cool is a ski lodge at the top of your ski hill.

It's coming along nicely. If you can, you should get a good layout for the winter village done for Christmas, and get it lit up.

Just an observation, maybe push Ninjago back half a baseplate or a little more, then stagger the two so they aren't lined up perfectly. Maybe raise them both up a little more too.

I love that you are starting to go vertical. So can I please ask again for... a Italian sea side or river village, a flavela, and a cyber punk town on the mountain (the cyber punk town can be next to ninjago... as they have a lot of cyber punk themes. I still feel like I'm there with you building the city. Thanks for the journey. 😊

Looking good. An idea under the winter village you need to build some caves or a mine with people in and let up with that extra save you have under there would be a great addition. Maybe even add a couple of the Lego mining sets.

What if the winter village was moved inward a baseplate so there would be more elevation with a peak behind the village? Could allow for a 7412 Yeti hideout Easter egg ;)

Jordan, here is an idea. What if you add to the nice setup you built and make several 2x2 base-plate wide tables with all of your small remaining stock. Make 4 different heights and four of each height. So you then have these 16 building blocks basically that you can move around and make a more natural edge and pile up high if needed. It would be an simple system to move around for a more organic shape and easy to make more if you need them. Looking so sweet by the way and thank you for the great content.

In order to avoid "breakout" or 'Tear out" of the melamine layer, put a layer of masking tape centred over the cut line.

You should put the winter village inside the mountain like a cave and have the back open so you can see inside when you walk over to it

You should build the LEGO Exo Force mountain!!

The snowy slope should indeed be higher than the rest. By the way, have you seen the Austrian brothers? They built a working vulcano.

Whoa that mountain is going to be insane i love it!! :D

It might be a good idea to make a quick sketch of the mountain shape so that you (and we) know the direction you're heading in

when you MILS plated the Amusement Park you ask what to do in the area between Residential Area and Amusement Park. You could build a little raised area, maybe up to 10-15 bricks, which climbs towards and over the railways. On Top you could place the Monster Fighters House. A road/Trail could go through a Tunnel towards Amusement Park, or even arould the raised area. Btw, any news to your VAT from DK ?

I feel like you should implement a "Brickie" sign in the mountains like the Hollywood sign

The elevation is going to be incredible! It's hard to visualise as you have said but as soon as you got the winter village table on there it all clicked! Can't wait to see the mountain finished!

The winter village should be integrated into the mountain along a curving road to the top ski resort

What about a tunnel for the train between the camping elevation and the mountain elevation? So it’s not such a dramatic cut through the elevation. This update is making the city look amazing! I love the longer videos you make.

I think a lake would be really cool in the countryside or mountain. Would also help clear out the harbour a bit. Awesome update like usual btw💪

This is going to be the most awesome lego city ever dude!

Hey just a few suggestions for the mountain if you want, firstly I think the winter village would be better suited half way up the mountain rather than on top, I don’t know wether u have the space or budget to make the mountain bigger and put the observatory on top and/or an old mythical ruin. It could also be cool rather than trying to build a path up the mountain, create a long cable cart, just a few suggestions but loving the experience of being able to watch the city come together

if you do a cross section edge with winter village platform that gives you the excuse to load up on old power miners sets and build an underground mine scene under the platform into the side of the mountain like the Lego house city did

OMG the winter village up high means u can build caverns under it with different scenes like santas secret workshop. All kinds of areas cud be under there. Ugh i soooo wanna help! 😊

And in general maybe have some caves within the mountain

Looking good with elevation, The village would better if it followed the mountain as it gets higher and not totally flat. Also consider leaving the outside of the mountain open in places, think of it as a knife cutting though the mountain to create a flat side, think of the stories you could tell going on under ground.

Love all your ideas!

Id love to see the height taken advantage of with the use of a gondola system going to the peak of the mountain, would look so cool going to the observatory or lookout point. Keep up the amazing work Jordan!

IT'S AWESOME 😎

Hey bricksie/ any other helpful Lego fans!! I know it’s slightly early but I was wondering if you could give me some advice, I’m building a small (ish) ski hill this year it’s going to be about as big as Santas mountain I would say and I’m just slightly unsure about your top tips on creating this thing? I’m not going to have a chairlift or anything as complex but I will have alpine lodge at the top. Basically I’m just wondering what techniques/pieces you would use for blending (the base is ikea boxes) I’m not rich so there will be piece constraints however I want to place a parts order and I’m not use which work best for blending!

That is so cool bricksie. ❤

Since you have so much space underneath the platforms you should think of ways to use it like you did previously with the dungeon and train station. You could make some epic cave systems, middle earth, etc. We may not see them once it’s completed but would be great story telling. And probably quadruple the parts 😅

Dude. That’s gonna look awesome way up there!!

Yep that’s a great height for a winter villiage. With the “c” season coming I guess that helps decide which project should probably be next. Tfs

The winter village should be up more and expand it to the right to have a ski area and make it a ski town

Make the platform higher to cover the emergency door!😂

Really love the extreme elevation you’re going for with the winter village. Allows for a believe able amount of change from green to white. Keep up the amazing work!

Adding height makes an huge difference! But please don’t use only two different platforms, to make it realistic you have to change height more than two times

looks amazing! Definitely think the winter village will look great with the extra elevation. Justa. thought when you do get to doing the subway, please please please have it go around the back and sides certainly, but scoot under the table near the front access holes. then under the ocean/beach you can finally get the under water scene set up which would just be awesome and a good way to get a bit of extra storytelling happening!

Are you going to do a desert area with a western town would be cool

This city is just absolutely amazing keep it up bricksie!

Looks awesome!! What if in one of your mountain peaks like in a valley, you built a little mine/quarry that goes through the raised platform, through the subway area to under the table to the floor? Good way to break up the mountain and add other layers to the city/subway line

Awesome platforms will look epic did great job there 🍕

It would be cool if you can put a volcano in the mountains!!!

Love it

Do you know if a batcave could be possible in the mountain ? It would be a great feature i think ! even a small one !

Awesome progress Jordan, but where’s the Batcave going? 😊

With such a high Winter Village why not make the ski slope go up to it? It would look great.

i wonder if there could be like a valley through mountain and have the winter village in that valley like jasper. its really hard too experience lego when its so high up i couldnt even see most of it in some of the camera shots.

Insane how you ran out of baseplates! I was sure you had it all covered! But the scale of the city is very gigantic~ maybe measuring how many more you need will get the job done

Sorry y'all, I'm still stuck on Bricksie being in Time Magazine. Crazy. It's crazy, I love it.

Just wow,wow.

In the corner of the space near the winter village you could have a viewing area up higher to see the winter village?

I wonder if you can incorporate the rollercoaster into the mountain? Like have parts of the rollercoaster go in and out of the mountain

Oh man it looks much better with the green etc, i can just picture the mountains and trees etc, a winding mountain road, cabins or mountain village like in Jasper/Banff National Park. Makes me wish I would win the lottery and allocate a million of it to just lego😂 so I could do my city idea, i want a mountain/country side, and a coast line that is more of a Canadain west or east coast look. Beaches that's not tropical, with some cottages, a warf for boats. A farm with feilds, a winding river down to the ocean. Town, be a modern western type of city not European style architecture. I then want a small airport for my lego city airport sets Oh the ideas.... 😮‍💨 but I live out my dreams through your videos, and do my own small builds once in a while, just can't keep them built if I want to build something else. Only thing is Id also need lots of room..

Be nice to see a train go to the water village
