@taqresu5865 Год назад

I think one good tip is to perhaps color code the edges, especially if you're building a vast expanse of uniform terrain (like Hoth or Tatooine). For example, you could match blue edges with blue, red with red, green with green, etc. That's what I did for my Western Town display last year.

@alphaomegazulu8451 2 года назад

Thanks for making this video Daryl! Mils plates make complete sense and I didn’t realize you guys took it this far. However, its the best way to go about the surface of the table and future alterations. It’s hard to figure out exactly what bricks you need for anything such as your Airport Tunnel for the people that goes over the street. Would if Pick a Brick doesn’t have those Windows, do you put it off until they do have them? Then building hills and mountains as well as the train track to sidewalks, oh my! I should start ordering 5000x of each brick! Lol

I'm highly considering this style of road system when i move my city in the basement. All standard road plate now but I feel like future Speed Champion set will be 8 stud wide and they just don't fit right in my current city. At least not to my liking for scale. Keep the videos coming!

@EvansBrickhouse 4 года назад

Ben Woolwine I’m not a huge fan of 8 stud wide vehicles especially cars. Trucks maybe but what I don’t get is LEGO seems to be pushing 8 stud wide cars and trucks but the trains are still 6 wide. I always modify all of my trains to be 8 wide because you can put seats on both sides in passenger trains.

Daryl, Thanks again for another great tutorial. I just made 17 MILS baseplates for my City and converted a couple Modulars, I happened to have quite a few large plates (16x16) and used them. Next ones, I will be using my extra 4x4's, so timing was perfect. Also loved the lighting explanation. Is there a reason for using the 1x4 Technic corner over the 1x2 that Lego typically uses in all their modulars?

@dd_zzero6827 2 года назад

Hello again Daryl. I hope you will see this. I have finally given in and going to MILS. At least for all the non road stuff. I have a couple of questions for you. Have you done a 48x48 base plate MILS? I have a bunch of large buildings on them. Is it recommended? I see a little bit of a bow when I made one. Also, why do you use the 1x4 technic bricks on the corners instead of the 1x2 with one hole? Is there a reason for this? Just trying to figure things out. Thank you for your time.

@BevinsBricksWorld 2 года назад

Nice and welcome to mils. The 1x4 is just a preference as if I want I can use multiple clips but 1x2s are fine also. As for size the largest plate ive made was 4 48x48 and it holds together great for me. Look at my skyscraper bases the smallest is 2 48x48 baseplates used for 1 mils plate.

So as a question please. Once you have built your Mils do you place your modular including the supplied flimsy base plate on top of the mils or do you build the modular on top of the mils without the green or white base plate. Excuse my terminology.

@janktron 2 года назад

So I'm thinking of doing the MILS plates out the gate for my Lego city. I've got a few more months until the construction finishes on my house so I'm trying to gather up as many pieces for the plates ahead of time so they are ready to go when I start building. is there any specific reason for using 4x4 plates on the top other than cost? And how important is the actual color of the plates on the top? I'm assuming the entire plate will be covered and not visible for any modular building so the color wouldn't matter, but please correct me if I'm wrong....I don't wanna waste a bunch of money on random colored plates if it's gonna be visible. thanks!

@BevinsBricksWorld 2 года назад

I do four by four plates because it seems to be the most rigid way of doing it. By that I mean it provides the most strength. You can use much larger plates it really doesn't matter as it still works. The biggest thing is do not ever go past four studs in between the supports underneath if you go with larger plate as then it becomes spongy. With me no the color does not matter because even on the Interiors of the building's, first floor I always tile just as I do all sidewalks as well. Not everyone does though so it's all about personal preference when doing buildings.

Hey just new to the MILS way of building. Can you use any size plates or is the 4x4 the best way to go? I was going to use the same number of supports as you have used, but just using the plates I have available. Any comments would be welcome.

@BevinsBricksWorld 2 года назад

You can use any size plate it's just from my experience 4 by 4 plates provide the strongest base. But I do know some of my members even use the 16 by 16 plates and do like you state which is still separate the 2x2 bricks underneath by two studs.
