LEGO City Update - Airport Part 1 - Jetway & Plane MOC 7894 🛬🛫🏹 

Looks awesome!! I'm just wondering, cause I know how you try to consider things most don't think about. Have you considered the fact that the airplane wings would be basically in the building if the building continued through the wall. Not sure how you'd represent that consideration in the build, but it was something I noticed trying to imagine the whole thing.

Robin: “This is a snapshot of the center of a city” Also Robin: “The green road will go out into the countryside”

Yes that road looks brilliant It would look alot more appropriate for heading to the airport, fairground and farm

I think the new road looks really cool!👍

This was very strange feeling because I’m watching this whilst at work at Heathrow airport! I’m part of ground operations so I drive those “snake like” baggage vehicles! Love what you’ve come up with so far it looks excellent!

An airplane fascad?? That is a genius idea. U covered a lot of ground on this one... Literally.. And yes u do have a problem. But we all do. Lol. Im gonna join bricks anonymous and start the 12 stud program. And yeah, do part 2. This is getting very interesting already

At the other end of the airport you could have a budget airline - passengers queuing for a late departure in frustration on the tarmac, luggage being mishandled, distracted womanising pilot.

What you could potentially have the second pilot be doing is performing the walkaround on the ground, having him looking at the plane to make sure everything's in order. Up to you, though, obviously.

I'm just going to call that first guy in the walkway Ringo Star. This is a great facade airplane setup sir. Keep up the great building 😁

You have a lot of taxis, so I thought you could maybe make a taxi station or rank... 💭💭💭

Do part 2 on Friday! I would love to see more progress on the airport.

Very nice concept of cuttingeven the planes and putting them up against the wall. The green plates are a nice transition going to the airport and theme park. It reflects real life change from city to country. For the airport, it’s a strong start to what I know will be a great airport. Maybe there could be a curious kid looking out through the glass to see the airport crew? And the best idea I’ve heard here is using “building of LEGO to buy more LEGO”! Everyone agrees with that

Yes thanks robin :)

You can put a minifigure buying tourist overpriced airport stuff, like a plastic knight helmet or a teddy bear.

Looking at the actual ternimal mock up, it’s relatively good. Some improvements you can make from an avgeek: Rotate the position of the wheels on the jet bridge, normal airports have the jet bridge retract into the ternimal. There isn’t normally passenger seating in front of the boarding door, unless your boarding from the second door. So I’d move the door further to the front. Make it so the entrance to the plane is wider, as normally the door is seen inside the jet bridge. Also try to make it arch over the door way so people’s heads don’t get wet from rain. Try adding a catering truck on the other side. I know you won’t be able to do all of this (and you probably won’t do any of it), but these are a few tips I have. Great video by the way. :D

Another great part of Brick Nottingham starting to come together! Loving the jetway and that piece of plane 👍

Ahh, yes, the airport! An important part of any LEGO city - especially when you consider all the new flying police :-D But, it's easy to use too much space for it. I think you've prioritized very well here - great work. And the green road plates are a great idea too! I really like the jetway - those transparent pieces are really cool! And I really like the way you've integrated the wall - very creative! Great work and thanks a lot for sharing this :-)

I know it would take up a bit of space, but I'd love to see the monorail make its way all around the new tables.

Nice Airport. I think ,this will be one of my favourite places at your City. Don't forget the yellow markings for the planes at the ground.

to connect the base plates you could put cheese wedge piece to act as chocks, for under the Jetway. Im really excited for more airport content! Id love to see more airport vehicles like catering trucks, the luggage carts, etc.! Thanks again for the content this week!

Robin, a suggestion for you: The jetway needs a canopy that overlaps the top of the aircraft and seals up the opening. What if it were raining, would the minifigs enjoy getting soaked as they board or disembark the aircraft? Love the idea of an airplane façade! I've always wanted to do an airport, but refused to dedicate the necessary real estate. I think you've got the right idea...

That just looks stunning; I like very much the idea of building it as a facade, looks really realistic. Also the transparent glasses are very well suitable for this purpose. Looking forward for the rest!

There is an orthenticness to it and yet it is totally lego, 👌💕 it eill be interesting to see what's next.😸🐈👍

y'know robin, at first I was confused as to why you were making the taxis go left to tight not right to left, but then I remembered that in the U.K. you drive on the left side of the road, not the right as we do in america where I live.

Have you thought about putting one of the pilots in the cockpit preparing the preflight checks??? For a bit of fun, you could but a Chewbacca in the co-pilot’s seat 😁

Love the start of the airport. It looks fantastic and I can't wait to see how it progresses. Thanks for the shout out about my owl suggestion. Please keep up the great work.

Very creative. Excellent idea for all of us with normal size Lego rooms.👍

Maybe turn around the wheels underneath the jetway support because they look a bit unnatural pointing outside the structure. Anyways awsome video!!

It’s been a while since I’ve checked in, and I’m amazed by the progress in Brick Nottingham. I’ve been looking forward to your airport build since you teased it a few months back. Keep up the good work!

Love the walkway. Great space saving idea just doing the front end of the jet 👍. Can't wait to see the rest of the airport (and eventually the farm)

Another great addition to the city sir! The idea of the airport façade is smart and the execution of the sliced off plane worked out really well! If your fence isn't too intrusive, may I suggest you have a little person waving goodbye to someone walking down the jetway. Or add this scene to the front pavement area. A baggage handling vehicle with maybe a scene of the handlers bungling up the loading would be fun too. If you could have an open suitcase with clothing strewn about.

Clever way to manage scarcely space available. Well done!

You have to do the classic rom-com scene where the guy is professing his love to a girl last second at the airport. But also make it funnier by having him on one of those drivable stairs looking in the window of the plane for her holding a bunch of flowers!

Fantastic work Robin. I do like the switch in base plates. It does convey the idea of turning into the country-side quite well. Just missing a cornfield and a old gas station with a banjo player on the front stoop.

Wow what a great starting point! I can't wait to see how it's going to turn out!

Love airports

This is great! One thing I would suggest is having the pilot inspecting the plane wheel, as they do this in real life before flights and brings him into the scene more clearly :)

This looks very, very promosing. It will be a joy to watch this airport grow :)

Nice job on the start of the airport Robin. I really like how the jetway and plane turned out. I can't wait to see the rest of it. As for the green road plates, I really like them and the configuration you have them in. Great job and awesome video!

This episode went beyond my imagination. Excellent idea and a perfect solution to your space problem. As a suggestion, maybe you could place a mini figure of a young boy scared in the airport as in Home Alone 2, when the boy arrives accidentally to NYC airport far away from his family

Yay! I've been looking forward to the airpot starting, love seeing the mix of my day job in lego! The plane is even red too, so that's awesome. Brings back memories from The LEGO set Air 2000 used to sell onboard way back in the day. An idea if you wanted a pilot more visible, he could be on the ramp itself with a torch walking around looking up at the nose of the plane on his "walk around". Also maybe some yellow tiles to show the stand line, in line with the landing gear wheel ending in a T shape to mark the stopping point. But I'd avoid numbers, as there on the runway the other side of the guillotine.

This video was amazing. Keep up the good work. Your city looks better every day

I clicked as soon as possible

Looks awesome! Looking forward to seeing the whole thing!

This is super exciting 😁. I would totally love to see a moving sidewalk ... Yup hope that song is stuck in your head too 😂😜

Very nice video update, thank you! I actually used the 7894 airport as a base for my own, so nice work there. Regarding the tarmac, I used really old space base plates from blacktron I believe, they have the lines and the markings one would expect on airport tarmac. You could also use 6x6 flat tiles (6014617) to imitate the tarmac, should be pretty realistic, and you can use small yellow or white tiles between them for the markings. The green / old gray street plates are fully ok, I actually used them as runways (when I had space for a runway, it became Ninjago City now ) since typically a runway has grass left and right. Cheers!

I absolutely 100% support the green vintage roadplates. I adore those and plan to use them next to my own vintage airport (which has a similar footprint as yours.) My airport is currently nearly the only set in Sloth City I haven't modified yet, but it's vintage and I'm happy with how it looks. I'm excited to see your airport grow in a similar sized area.

I like how you made the plane as part of the facade because standard Lego Planes take lots of space.

I’ve never seen anyone use the idea of the town space virtually continuing out of the room! Fantastically creative and exactly the way to build that I love. To me its extremely clever and it’s the way I’ve seen children aged 10+ build with various materials (not in anyway saying it’s immature) as they are so creatively free and not tied to any convention yet x Really really great - I love it! True free building/moc 👍🏼😊

Wuhuu 😃 Don't know where to start - This is EXCELLENT. Everything... GREAT job. Absolutely AMAZING. Love your ideas and can't wait to follow this build further 😃

That looks great, very clever use of space just using the front of the plane. I love the jet walk, I'm always excited whenever I get to use those rather than steps in and out of the plane!

I'm an avgeek, so I will thoroughly enjoy these next few videos. A suggestion for the extreme right side: I think you'll need far too many baggage carts to make that area look populated unless you've got something else hidden in your sleeve :), so maybe you could have a little bus station heading off to another terminal? Control tower? Or maybe a combination of both. But as always - TOP NOTCH STUFF I cannot wait for part 2

Brilliant video cool awesome. Great airport so far .

Very cool!

Looks great so far ! Can't wait to see how the rest looks.

The change in colour for the road baseplates could just indicate a different (usually older) kind of asphalt surface, so it is definitely fine with me. The facade plane is very smart, cannot wait to see the rst of the terminal and control tower.

The video I’ve been waiting to see!

Great work Robin hood bricks!!!!!!

It's looking great! I love the tunnel. I'm a new subscriber of only a month or so and I think you are great! I don't have a Lego city (as many of us don't...) but this gives me a sense of what it'd be like. Thank you!

That looks amazing!

I think what could help the road transition (dark bluish grey to old grey) could be like a speed bump or something. Also, for the bus with Evil Kenevil jumping over it, you should put a vehicle with a slope to look like he used that to jump the bus, like one of those flatbed trucks with a car ramp or a truck with a plow

Sweet build. You are so smart Robin

I really don’t mind the new road base plates, the change of colour suggests a change of road surface/material which is common in cities. Also love the start of the airport, it looks great.

Your third passenger is just the musician, Oliver Tree. I love it

Yes im on break from school so now i can watch this!

You should do a parts collection tour Robin, That would be a very good video!

Great! As always :)

For a little bit more detail on the Jetway, I thought you could attach a flex tube (Part 6056596) from the bottom of the Jetway too the bottom of the wheels as many Jetway's normally have pipes running from them.

It’s amazing!

I'd love to have the space for an airport! Look forward to seeing how you do this. Could the walk way do with a "control area" on one side with maybe a ladder up? Good use of the nose piece to show the docked plane. And sure you'll be adding all the ground services for fuelling, etc. Good work sir.

What a great idea, Robin! I've been struggling about how to integrate my airport set (a moc'ed up version from that 1990's "Airline" set) back into my own city after I'd changed my layout. Absolutely no room for runway stuff. Now your idea has given me a great thought on what I could do (since I have a U-shape that goes around 3 walls myself. Yet again, I may "borrow" your ideas after I see how you go about the full airport structure! ;)

Top flight entertainment, Robin! Nice thinking to do a plane façade! Great use of the tight space you have. Can’t wait for ‘part deux’. Maybe there could be some scene with spilt aviation fuel from the Octan tank by the plane, or the ground crew looking at Superman saving your stricken helicopter over @sweat, or something else more comedic with the ground crew? Don’t mind the road change; normal in the UK. Wicked show yet again. Super, smashing, great! 😀

Like the new base plates. The change in shade just hints at newer and older roads. With your speed bumbs maybe add a white tile to show it's location. For the ground crew how about adding one of the helmets with ear covers? Also on a platform fueling up the jet one of the mini figures. Otherwise great video

My sons suggest replacing the old fashioned road plate with the one that you have over your city and then on the studs on either side of the road put green plates.

Great video! Maybe the empty spaces to the left could be some hotels, after all, they will be situated in a transport hotspot!

If the two base plates where the construction site is at the moment are going to be modulars (or equivalently sizes buildings) I would probably do the transition to the "green" road plates after that. I could imagine a gas station and car garage there for example - not necessarily the Corner Garage set but something along those lines. I know you're not a big fan of purely residential buildings so I don't imagine that's your plan there - and people probably wouldn't want to live right next to a noisy airport anyway - not even yellow plastic people. Another thing I could imagine right at the edge of the airport would be an abandoned industrial building (perhaps a place for your dark gray sliding doors that were discolored around the stickers) that some local youths have turned into an indoor skate park. I have done something similar to my old red train service station (10027) before turning it into a rock climbing gym and now part of a modular building with a car garage in it. The huge double doors just look great anywhere. 😅

Looks good Robin and like you videos

i like the new road plates, the old grey suggests older, more unkempt roads just like in the real countryside

Awesome indeed

This is awesome robin great work

It looks awesome since you like all the different scenes I was thinking that maybe you could add a child looking out of the glass with his face pressed against the window of the walkway but I definitely think you should do part 2 on friday

Very nice airport

If you wished to make the inside of the airport bigger, you could cantilever it out over the top of the taxi drop-off zone - lovely bit of room for Duty-Free shops or a cafe!

Co Pilot Jang can do the outside Check of the Landing Gear ;). And the 1x6x5 Panels in Transclear can solve the Window Problem of the Building

Buy capitol city museum,and put it across from the airport,next to the subway station,and because you have the new sticker pack you should put the “museum 250 M” sign near the board walk

Looking good so far! I think the two different road plates are perfectly fine next to each other. Normal to see discoloration in real life. If you do want to minimize the visible junction, just place some vehicles over it!

For the tiling you should have a look at the 6x6 tiles (they come in Dark Bluish Grey) on Lego Bricks n Pieces - I use these for tiling large paved areas such as car parks etc and they look really good, plus works out to be a bit cheaper. I did manage to score 300 in this year’s LUGBulk order, they’re 75% cheaper and was very happy to see them on the list this year!!

Love the airport please don't keep us waiting until next Monday for airport part 2

You could have the upper front part of your airport building hang over the sidewalk to shield people dropped off from rain and to give you more building space inside the building

32:38 they're actually called thrust levers. (at least there's a show here in the U.S. called Air Disasters and that's what they call them on the show)

In the airport part 2 you could add a cafeteria in the airport and a security check point with a guard love your vids.

This is epic

You should add an overhang onto the jetway covering the top of the plane door. Usually, airports will make sure that there’s no space and it’s all flushed together. Just an idea

Very nice with the plane. Good idea👍

Use the bottom red stripe for a clip then the door stripes will be aligned with the fuselage stripes

Put a tree on each side where the new and old road plates meets, maybe that would make it more smooth if the trees kinda hang over the road ”gap”? 🤔

This is so cool! I would recommend the runway number to be 25 because its easy to make those numbers in LEGO and its a really common runway number! I could never make anything like in your city. I really good with planes and airports so if you have a question you can ask me

Hi Robin keep up the great work can't wait for your next video

just an idea, you should move the jetway and the plane a bit further foward so you so could have (a tunnel underneath the terminal and) a luggage tug could be loading into the hold(underneath the cabin)

Your work is very good 👍 .
