Here I am at age 38, completely captivated by a man’s struggle to decide whether or not to shift his Lego dollhouse by 2-3 inches to accommodate a gap for a minifig risk the awkward shaping of the front patch of his plastic grass. Things that only Lego fans can appreciate. Great vid as always.
I have a city of my own… pretty expensive not going to lie even with my $65,000 salary a year lol expensive but it is amazing !!!!!! If you do start with Modular’s and road plates then you keep growing
I would prefer the Home Alone House in it's original theme, you could have had fun doing a snowy MILS plate with ice. I think the winter decor is iconic. I do love to attention to detail on the garage, nicely done with that.
Looks good, personally I would keep the snow around the house as it's so iconic to the movie then blend it with white studs into the surrounding green. Also as the house is already raised 1 brick I would have set it straight on the baseplate and used the MILS system to make the basement 1 stud "underground".
Taking the snow away not only removed the home alone feel but the planes trains and automobiles vibe as well. Not feeling it. I do however feel like they should have made snow accents as opposed to just blanketing the roof with white. So some modifications may need to be made to mine as well. Impressed by your MILS work tho man. Well done.
I’m surprised you didn’t take advantage of the MILS plate system to lower the house, or at least the back part with the basement, so it was more below ground and realistic. The advantage of the MILS is to allow you to do these types of things and create different layers and details.
The McAllister house looks absolutely phenomenal! Especially beside the Simpsons house. I love the curved drive way and how it perfectly bends onto the road. You're really good at converting sets to mils and making them 10x better!
A lot of the personality for the set is the theme and season, otherwise it’s just another house. The logic of no snow in the rest of the city isn’t really a factor when so much isn’t realistic to begin with. Your city, your rules obviously, but sometimes it’s good to break the logic and embrace the personality of a set.
Looks good , but I would have prefer the snow/christmas mood to be kept. If the same universe city can live together friends/ harry potter/simpson/marvel heros etc etc i think we can have a house cover in snow all days of the year :)
The front driveway is awesome! Love garage MOC suits its new mils really well. Wasn't going to buy this set, but now I see how it can change, maybe I should.
Cool! Yeah you definitely had to take out the snow from the mcalister's house otherwise it does not look good.I think that you should just keep it the way it is don't move the house over any studs.I wouldn't.
I think a winter Christmas section in the LEGO City would look amazing, then you could include the winter Home Alone House and all the Christmas village buildings all together.
Hey Jordan! I was thinking, for that small sloped part infront of the garage, maybe change it to dary bluish grey so it matches the driveway. Other than that, amazing vid.
You should make an area in the Lego city with the arctic Lego city sets and move the home alone house to that section so you can keep the home alone theme
Looks good but there are several things you need to fix to make the house more accurate. The garage is a gable roof, meaning it comes to a point in the center. The garage is not a flat roof. The winter scene is what makes the Home Alone house the Home Alone house. As someone else already pointed out your city is about fantasy in many places. Are the Simpsons realistic? Nothing about LEGO is realistic so why draw the line at winter? Isn't it about fun and enjoying yourself? Don't see the need to spend $100+ on roofing when it is already built. Don't forget to add stone work on either side of the walkway at the sidewalk.
Looks great mate but something at the start of your video made me giggle you said it doesn’t make sense for snow to be just on one house,i think given you have a flying ship powered by screaming goats 🐐 and countless other unusual stuff it would have been fine to have a cloud of snow over the one house 😃
looks good, i would have used another road plate for the floor of the garage though so its level with the rest of the driveway right into the garage vs the hump to get up into the garage and just filled in around the road plate with dark grey tiles as needed and built the garage around it
I love it, I found one on marketplace I'm hoping to buy, I don't even like the movie I just like the house. But I personally don't think taking the Christmas out of the set is really important. I mean unless you're going to change EVERY house for seasons, I don't think you need to remove the snow or the lights. You could even add snow to one or two houses to make it work. But I'm loving the MILS I love the garage addition!
I love the McAlister's house this way. I like the black slopes in the roof, they're a similar height to black surrounds of the main floor house windows. They tie it all together really nicely I think!
Looks great! Excited for the rest of the residential area to come together too. Unsolicited suggestions: maybe a banister on the back stairs of the McAllister’s house. The access holes are smart, and will keep you young! With that said, I thought it might be cool to have a simple pull away panel in place of those holes for your over view shots. I’m sure you could have a quick way to pop them in and out if only for some cool shots anyways.
Nice dude. I think you did great. Maybe a third row of windows on the garage to make it taller. And what about light blueish gray for driveway instead of dark bluefish gray, just a thought but looks great!
0:46 or you could use your imagination and say this is an enchanted home, like a Sanctum of sorts. I'd rather cover everything else in the city with the snow rather than get rid of the Xmas decorations on one house, haha.
can i just say that im so happy you connected the tables... things like adding detail to the simpsons and McCallister house are now possible and look awesome
Looks great! A bit of a different MILs plating experience so thanks for sharing the steps with such great detail. The yard and garage look great. Can't wait to see the finished product when the new roofs are on. I think it makes good sense to get rid of the snow.
Love your vids and this looks great. Can I suggest some large trees to the back of the house and the Simpsons. I love lego tree when you build them and I just think it would break up the back.
