it would be very cool to combine the modern zone and the wild west zone with a LEGO suspension bridge, the first half of the bridge corresponded to the modern zone, and the second wild west zone
It's be cool if he could have it so a wild west train goes into the connected tunnel, there being another more modern design train hiding inside that only drives out to the other side into the city when the western has gone in. Sorta giving a magic time travelling train effect
What would be interesting is if you have the track connecting the two be hidden behind some sort of tunnel, and while the train is in the tunnel it actually stops moving and a second train takes it’s place. The two trains would match the style of the time periods and it would almost be like moving through time. You could set up a couple loops in the track to turn the train around when it gets in and then holds it while the other train is out.
If you are going to connect the train tracks from the Wild West world with the Lego City, I guess you have to build something that blocks the entrance to your workshop. Could you run the train along the walls of the workshop, and make it enter the city through a hole in the wall?
Something about your style and attention to detail as well as the overall look makes this very cool! If im going on a roadtrip to Normandie some year(s) from now id be great to pass by your lego museeum! Good luck! And I hope to see it 'finished' with my own eyes! Cheers from Sweden!
I like the bridge idea connecting the Wild West to the main city. You should make it foldable though so if you need to pass through instead of going under it you can just lift a side up and have it be able to place back down into place
Now that there's no much room under the tables... How about making a little underwater part to the city port? Like 30cm deep water with some vegetation, fish, gangsters moving contraband.... you know, the usual.
Wild west had the problem of no remaining space, the moon has the problem of high costs for parts. So he probably waits for someone to sponsor it and then we will see an update for it
Very nice display. Are you planning more themes for the layout? Would be cool to see other themes. Like pirates or castle and knights. But I do like this alot. It's been a dream for me to have something like this also. But I have no room for it.
Pls try to make a 16 minute video because i love your videos but its only 8 minutes a video each day, i would love it if you doubled the length of the video and i think others can agree with me lol
They're called stanchions. I use them in my museum. I paid around $130NZD each but I don't know how much they are in other countries. Be aware that young children ignore them and all children play with them - twisting, pulling and eventually damaging the connecting material. I have to replace the most exposed ones every few years.
@@TeAwamutuSpaceCentre thanx. In my events I started by using them, but usually the venue had them. Later I transitioned to closed displays - but as business is growing, I plan to have both type of events on menu. And these types of fences are great when you have people guarding them (displays take time to setup and are bulky and expensive). I ggoled it using your word, and here they are: "Crowd Control Stanchion" :) Thanx :) If there is luck maybe I will travel to your country one day with my LEGO exhibit and we will share a beer :)
Seeing the wild West City in the same room as the Lego City really gives off the vibe of the dad's basement in The Lego Movie. It would be so cool if you created a minifigure of yourself that is the "protagonist" and is jumping between worlds and working to stop the mafia😂
I only discovered this channel recently, but watching it ahs reignited my love for lego. God speed to you, good sir! I wish you nothing but the best with your creations!
As someone who grew up in and lives in the American Western Deserts, I really love this model, it speaks to me! I've always loved to go to Europe and perhaps when it is open I'll come to Germany to visit my ancestral homeland and see your museum at some point in the future! Nothing but love from the California Mojave!
For me it's the other way around. I'm from Switzerland and nice old towns and castles and big mountains are something that feels familiar and those desert landscapes is something I only know from wild west movies and the Minecraft mesa biom.
Why not just increase the height of the table legs slightly so the tabletop comes above the cable duct? Then it'll be out of the way, and you'll have a little bit more room to expand. You could also potentially actually use the plugs for something (maybe a lighting system) and have the cables nicely tucked away underneath the tables.
id say, besides the mini figs, you should try and add some animals to your city, the farm part could use some horses or cows, and the wild west could use some snakes or birds watching over the miners and other story elements. It would add that little extra spice of life to your city. but besides that, these are looking better and better every update, keep up the good work!
In the background space you could recreate the scene from the beginning of the movie "toy story 3" with a huge wooden bridge spanning the two mountains. I think it would be epic. Big fan of this channel!❤
Since you mentioned having the trains from the city cut through the wall and into your workshop area would it make sense to also have the wild west train go into the workshop area instead of on a bridge in front of the workshop. Having it go along the back wall, maybe even riding on top of the power conduit, then behind the big boxes of bricks until it loops back around to where the hole for the city would be. It would be a lot more work and take a lot more track but that way you won't have a railroad blocking the way in and out of your workshop.
That extra space in the Wild West moc is a perfect opportunity to add some buildings on the hills I think. Maybe a mine or a fort of some kind. It would definitely add some extra height to the area 😃
To connect the trains, you could put the switch behind the MOC and pass it into your workspace behind the curtain and when you cut through the wall you can connect it there
That wild west section is amazing! You never cease to amaze me with what you build. It'd be hilarious is you add Doc and Marty as a BTTF reference somewhere in there.
Beautiful! Most American Wild West films were filmed in Italy and are called “spaghetti westerns” as a result. Looking at how Italian landscape transitions between geographic zones could provide some inspiration for making the transition between the alpine city and the Wild West less jarring.
Actually, the landscape shots of spaghetti westerns were usually filmed in the deserts of Spain, by Italians. There are hardly any desert regions in Italy.
That's incorrect, there is a considerable more amount of American wild west films than there are spaghetti westerns. Also only a few spaghetti westerns were filmed in italy, the great silence being one of them, and being one of the best spaghetti westerns made.
A small part of me always dies when you smash stuff in your vids, lol. Those poor bricks that made first contact! Plus it may have been reworkable into something that could work. However, it's your choice for what to do...and it did look a bit fun. Though the not fun cleanup would outweigh the fun for me,
I think for the switch you should go with the bridge option a put a portal in the middle of It so you could have an effect like the train is travelling through time.
I would love to see the railroad wrap around the back, potentially even at a higher elevation atop the new mountains you build in the back! That being said, it might break the illusion you've worked hard on to scale down your facades to simulate perspective. Either way, always excited to see what you come up with!
A bridge would be so cool! Also I’ve been watching your channel for a long time now and when the Lego museum is finished I am definitely coming, even if I have to fly there
I'm pretty certain it will come, the airport is just something that was wished for a long time (like before this channel was even created long) and he now has the space for it. And he also said, that over time he would remove the airport modules (although stored that they are still around) and expand the city and there stuff like that could easily come
I really wonder how you are gonna solve the railroad connection between the western and the city. I mean it will block the passage to your workshop behind the curtain. I bet you don't wanna remove/attach railroad pieces everytime. So something smart needs to be made here. Maybe you can make a table/shelf that folds open while keeping all the LEGO on it. Like you see in bars where a piece of the counter can be flipped open so the bartender can get through. To keep it open you can attack a lock for it to the pillar.
Love the videos, it's always great to go on youtube and see a lego city update. Glad there is finally a wild west update. But the way you threw that base part at the beginning 😂
That's an amazing video I'm going to use those framings on my channel! I thinks that's great your videos, I have got a lot of lego too and I show them on my channel! You're star!
I feel like a sunset painted in the background would fit the wild west much more than the blue skies. A bunch of orange and yellows would really compliment the colors of the city i think
Is it possible to keep the different areas seperate in the space? If it is possible then you could have different models of train which are exclusive to these areas.
Love how official it looks with the addition of the stantions in front of the Wild West moc. It really helps make the museum vibes feel more legitimate
I know I’m a little late, but I’ve got two suggestions. First, I think it would be cool if you stapled curtains to the edges of the tables to cover up the legs. 2, you could add some more industrial things to the city like power lines, water towers, side walls, etc.
You have a flair for color and detail, imo. BTW, personally, I like the connection track going behind the Wild West. To keep the setting more 'pure'. ☮
Nice to see the return of the Wild West Mock. I highly recommend adding a creek or a river, to the wild west, btw. Those western towns tend to pop up near a water source for obvious reasons, and the stratified stones likewise show up mostly where the soil has been allowed to build up over time before a river cut through it.
Ein tolles Projekt! Vielleicht kannst Du die Westernstimmung noch mehr einfangen, indem Du den Himmel anpasst. Weniger Blau, mehr als Dämmerung, vielleicht noch mit tief einfallendem Sonnenlicht mit langen, streifigen Wolkenfeldern. In den Western ist der Himmel ja auch nie Azurblau! 🤠 Das auch passender zu den Ocker- und Braunfarben der Landschaft. Ansonsten meine grenzenlose Hochachtung!
One idea for the train is to use both of your track ideas. The real connection can be the behind the mountain connection that pops out in a tunnel in the city and the fake connection could be an unfinished bridge with a train precariously dangling from its end like the unfinished bridge in Back to the Future 3. Keep up the fun work.
