Hey, from another old bloke in Canada, I really enjoyed your video and your city. I started my Lego City about 7 years ago just before I retired. My youngest son had some Lego when he was young. He grew up and moved to Australia, so the Lego stayed with me and it became my inspiration for a retirement hobby. I have all the Modular’s, but not the Marvel stuff. I have many MOC’s also, plus 7 trains and a shipyard I do agree, one of my favourites it The Fishing Store and my other fav is the Medieval Blacksmith Shop. Oh yes, I also have a couple of large castles and a village. My Lego room is about 18’ x 14’ , with a build table and storage and shelving around the exterior walls. I don’t hunt, fish, cycle, snowmobile, or 4 wheel….so this is my hobby….and I love it. All the best from Canada. 👍🌲🚂😎🇨🇦
Thank you for your kind comments. My favourite modular is the Old Fishing Store, I am thinking of doing a video to argue why I think it's the best modular ever.
@@MrFaulkers I agree with you and I will certainly sign your petition for the Fishing Store as the best modular, although the Medieval Blacksmith Shop is equally as impressive and a fabulous build. You should check it out. A more personal question, if you don’t mind? My favourite television show is, Escape to the Country, which is shot in great Britain…..so given your accent, may I ask where you live? I am on the East coast of Canada., in the province of New Brunswick. Just curious, if it too personal, forgive me. Most the the Lego people I see on here are much younger and harder to relate to. Anyway…..I ramble on. Thanks for your reply I do appreciate it. Ta Ta for now. 👍😎🇨🇦
From a younger 'old bloke' that also re-entered the hobby mid-covid, looks great! A thought on the park area you are disappointed with - you could replicate a lot of the landscaping techniques & styles of the Spring Lantern Festival gardens across the road into it. They are all very clever, but not overly complicated. It could look very well considering how close the two areas are to each other.
I think the natural history museum would look nice in between the diner and the parisian restaurant. I think exposing its side does the model more justice. I got it right in between the sanctum sanctorum next to the alleyway and the boutique hotel, this way it feels like it stands on itself. Great city though!
Actually, I wasn’t happy with putting the museum between other buildings at all. In my country most museums stand alone, usually with a bit of a park or lawn area around them. They are large prominent buildings and deserve to be seen and appreciated. I had an area with two full baseplates so, I centered the museum with a parking area on one end and a small park, with a statue and a small monument on the other, a few small trees and shrubs as well. It’s across the street, side by side, from the Boutique Hotel, which I doubled…and also stands alone. Those two buildings need to be appreciated for their architectural beauty.👍😎🇨🇦
Great collection and thanks for putting together the video. Really inspiring and I like your perspective on the past and the more modern sets. You have an amazing collection. All the best! :-)
I also just started with Legos during the pandemic. Great job on your city and great job telling the stories with the mini figures. My only feedback is that you might want to change the tiles on the sidewalks to a different color so it doesn’t match the roads. I know most modules have these tiles included but you can always replace them. I did and it made a huge difference. Keep it up. You gave me some great ideas.
