Here are the parts required to make the straight road MILS plates as per the video. I usually source parts from Bricklink or Brickowl.
PLEASE NOTE:

Personally, I think the contrast of dark gray and light gray tiles between the sidewalk and Modulars is great at emphasizing the sidewalks as is! The only thing I would suggest is perhaps adding details to the sidewalks to make them more exciting. Great video, I’m still here!

@BrickheadBarista 4 месяца назад

Yes will definitely be upgrading the sidewalks with more details soon! Thanks again!

Thanks! I’ve got a video showing how to make it.

@BrickGinjah 4 месяца назад

This looks great! I make mine in a very similar manner. One change I would advise is to add either a 1x2 dark bg tile, or a 1x2 dbg grille tile to the bottom of the drains. This will cover up the 2 blue exposed studs. They may be hard to see but I just like knowing that they're there.

@BrickheadBarista 4 месяца назад

Hey thanks! Yeah so know what you mean about the bottom of the drains, maybe I’ll put some grill pieces in there.

@Mick_Au 2 месяца назад

Hey mate, Please update your part list to include the 1x6 tiles in light bluish grey to go over the drains as just found out the hard way using the list as a parts check list that they where missing in the list 😞 All good will order some but just wanted to give a heads up so other people don’t get caught out 👍🏻

@BrickheadBarista 2 месяца назад

Thanks for letting me know, sorry about that, I’ve updated the list I hope everything else was there.

@BrickinAwesomeMovies 4 месяца назад

Great video, thanks for sharing the update on your LEGO city. I have one question regarding the MILS plate - did you experience "bending" of the road MILS plates in the corners? I was experimenting with small 16x16 MILS plates a couple of weeks ago, but the bending in the corners was unacceptable. Hope there's not such issue with large 32x32 plates. Take care, and looking forward to watch your next video! 👏

@BrickheadBarista 4 месяца назад

Hey, thanks for commenting! I’ve never experienced the bending you’re talking about, I wonder why that would be? It shouldn’t happen if everything is connected properly, so can’t shed any light on that I’m afraid.

@johnhague3372 4 месяца назад

Hi this looks awesome. Have you considered swopping out the grey sloped pieces by the crossings for tan. Typically in the UK there is usually tan/yellow/brick tactile paving to help those partially sighted people. Not sure how it would look overall but might be worth trying.

@BrickheadBarista 4 месяца назад

I hadn’t considered that! I’ll have a look next time Im out and about and see what I could do!

@JamboJoker 4 месяца назад

Great wee video!! This might be a silly question, but how do you get all those bricks that you need so they're at hand? Massive Lego bulk order or lots of bulk job lots etc??

@BrickheadBarista 4 месяца назад

Generally I use Bricklink and can get all of them from a few sellers, sometimes even just one. I have a road part wish list set up so it’s now easier to

@jacoboguzman9653 23 дня назад

Question did you use Robbins Hood's way for the side walks it looks great btw

@BrickheadBarista 23 дня назад

Hi, I think I watched a Bricksie tutorial originally, so it’s similar to that

@saraehrhorn9926 4 месяца назад

I would love to begin building modulars, but which one should I do first? The ones soon to be retired, or a new one? I like the pavement, but I think the haunted house is a little to dominant next to the city. Cheers from Sara

@BrickheadBarista 4 месяца назад

Hi Sara, I would suggest getting the ones that aren’t retired yet, like Jazz Club and Boutique hotel as otherwise they will go up in price to buy once retired. You can wait a while to get the museum. I agree with the haunted house, we’re at early stages of the city and that set will be moved eventually.

@BadassBusinessOwners 4 месяца назад

I bought the Jazz Club vs Assembly Square around Christmas, not realizing Assembly Square was retiring. I could kick myself. LOL.

@BrickheadBarista 4 месяца назад

@@BadassBusinessOwners oh no! If you’re in the UK looks like there are still some available in Smyths Toys to collect from some stores.

@jahweh 3 месяца назад

Ill bet ya when you get more and more advanced with your city youll eventually ditch the plates and build brickbuild roads. Might aswell start early no? ;)

@BrickheadBarista 3 месяца назад

Not gonna lie… the thought has crossed my mind 🤣

@SondelaConsulting 4 месяца назад

great Video. can you provide a parts list and where you get them from. Can you do a video to eplain the 16 X 32 plate you mentioned.. oh and by the way where is youe cafe.. May pop in ofr a coffee sometime

@BrickheadBarista 4 месяца назад

Thanks! I’ll try to out the parts list together and add to the description and can certainly do a 16 x 32 video no problem. I usually get parts from bricklink.

You’re right it should be! Will change it

@Qoonutz 4 месяца назад

MILS is expensive. Dark bluish grey bricks (1xAny Size) are expensive because they are used in so many builds. How I wish Lego brings back the old road plates. Sigh.

@BrickheadBarista 4 месяца назад

Yes they’re not cheap! I’ve switched to using yellow for anything ‘unseen’, sadly can’t do that with the road widening section.

@Qoonutz 4 месяца назад

@@BrickheadBarista Yes. I wonder why Lego did not consider "widening" the roads in the first place to fit 6 wide vehicles. 4 wide style vehicles are as old as the old road plate system. Pick-A-Brick wall (in my country) rarely has any 1xAny Size dark bluish grey pieces (even if there is, I am often too late to get them). Anyway, I like your videos. Great work! Keep the videos flowing!

@BrickheadBarista 4 месяца назад

@@Qoonutz it’s crazy that they didn’t unless the goal was to make us buy more bricks! Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for the positive feedback and interaction!
