I played around with this technique of raising the modular and I'm completely sold on it! I hated all the other ways but this makes it very sturdy and a cost-effective way to do it. I also like that the modulars are still easy to move around. Thank you for sharing this, I always appreciate your tips and tricks watching your city update videos!
Doesn’t it feel so satisfying when you figure out whats causing an issue with Lego math or studs not lining up. I know it pushes my buttons when it happens but the lightbulb moment makes it all worth it. I’m enjoying all your work good sir.
The old roads were nice for the symmetry - everything was a variation of 32x32 studs but they always looked weird to me. The sidewalks combined with modulars were huge. I like the new roads and their flexibility.
City is comming along nice. I hope to have my city back 100% by June. Need to pick up 1 more 8 foot folding table for my forrest area then relocate my train depot for my cargo train so my trains each have there own parking spots. Then once that is all done I plan to add a new thing to my amusement park which is a retired lego batman set that I got last year but waited so long to build it that the set is now retired. I also have assembly square and the bookshop that I need to build. Came across bookshop at target last week and since it is the last current modular I want I grabbed it even though originally I was planing to order it from lego later this year.
I love both types of roads, for different uses. I'm presently using the newest models on top of standard 32X32 baseplates, which keeps them in place really well!
I did not expect that to be under the modular! 😅 Fantastic ‘road hack’ though! Like yourself I’m short on space, so would love to switch to the new road system. I wasn’t a fan at first, but I’ve definitely come around to them!
That is rumor that lego is also retiring the base plates. It would be nice to know how Lego are going to connect the new modulars to the new road plates. So when release the new modulars they would fit in our new city layout.
I think they said they are only retiring them in their current format. I think they will re-release them straight after with a new product code and possibly additional colours
It looks really awesome! The plans you have sound really cool, can't wait to see it evolve over time. Thanks for sharing, and the work you do to enable everyone to be able to enjoy your city, love it!
Great video! It’s looking good. Question: As I prepare my new LEGO room in my new home, I’m looking for lighting. I really like the lights you have in background behind your city. What kind are they? Keep up the great work!
After watching this i think if i was to start a city, i would build it on the floor😄. Thats way to much work before u even get to the lego. Looks great tho
@@MrBookieboo i collect starwars and plan on making a few scenes from different planets but i need to move into a house with a basement first. One day....
Love what you're doing with the front of the city with the waterfalls and the creek! Just a very minor "issue" for me would be that it maybe looks a little too symmetrical from the front. I'd consider moving the creek (when it goes under the railroad tracks) a bit more to the left and maybe have it run a little less straight when it goes under the railroad tracks. Very curious to see what the rest of the city is going to look like! Keep up the good work :)
@@MrBookieboo Yes I tend to suffer from the same issue :P But since I've been watching a lot of video's on youtube on pond and waterfall builds for in the garden, I've gotten a better feel for creating a more natural look. It can be quite difficult to mimick nature :)
Thank you for showing that modular adaption technique, are you putting anything under the roads in your city or is the base plate, plate and tile with minipeg just to compensate the height of the road? City so far is looking good as well :)
