Even without all of the real intricate effort you've made with the lighting, the whole place looks fantastic and really does make me think of similar older buildings situated here in our little downtown area. With the lights everything just immediately gets heightened ten-fold from what it already was!
you're one of the first lego city builders i started to follow because of all the mocs and details, really looking forward to see your city getting reassembled, miss those epic views from a time before the barn, keep up the good work and thanks for showing us how to DIY connect and light up all the builds, greetings from switzerland
Thank you so much, some of my other buildings will be slowly making a comeback also. Well except for those that I destroyed anyway :) greetings from the USA
A water tower! Now that definitely adds to the small town feel! I’m from a small town myself and never even thought of that for a lego town layout. It’s all looking great! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thanks so much. Yeah I'm trying to add as many things as I can possibly think of that people typically overlook. Still trying to figure out how to round the tower off a bit more.
@@BevinsBricks I wonder if it might be achieved by using part # 892 (alt #’s 30259 and 39728) in white and clipped to a bunch of 3mm flex tube that’s been formed into a sphere. I saw a curved roof done by Ralf Langer with these parts and it looked pretty cool. I’ve never seen a sphere done though so not sure if it’s possible. Might be worth some experimentation.
It looks amazing! The best lighting for a Lego city I've ever seen. So looking forward to see how the whole town evolves. Thanks for sharing your work.
The new town is coming along very nice, it looks really good both in daylight and with the lights on. With the lights on you really see the beauty of the details.
it’s all the little details that make it worth following! I would love to see something on the telephone pole wires, like a bird or squirrel maybe. It might be cool to add a construction site, or a building under construction to bring the build to life a bit more. I would also love to see an old timey cinema with all the bright lights if that’s possible. I loved this update and can’t wait for the next one!
I am honestly loving the detail in the city and the vintage gas station is an awesome idea and can't wait to see what you come up with. As far as the alley between the sheriff's station and the hotel it would be awesome if you could line up the fire brigades back door with the alley as some fire stations that are on major streets often have thier trucks pull around backand enter from behind.
Thanks man, If you didn't notice that's exactly what I already have placed behind the alley :) problem is it will be offset a bit due to plate sizes and keeping things modular.
Bevin that's brilliant, it's like a piece of how I dreamed America looked like as a kid . It transports me back to a film like Gremlins when I was a kid.
I think the Police station is a bit to plain, maybe you could ad a clock on top or some decorative lines or a date like the lego town hall modular has. I absolutely love the lighting!
Did anyone notice the little critter at around 4.30? ;) Also, isn't there a LOT of businesses for a town of just 651? Not that it's really a problem. But here in France, with that kind of population you would only have a bakery, a hairdresser, a bar and maybe a small school. Just gotta add that these recent city updates have been phenomenal! Fantastic work :)
This looks absolutly amazing! All the details, all the lights. It was a great decission to pull down your old city. My favorite detail of this part? The police car without(!) light in the alley 🙂 Keep up the good work
Can’t wait to see what you do with the town plan service station perfect for a small town. All those lights reminds me of the Doo Wop scene from cars 1
The attention to detail makes you city such an interesting place and the lightening really brings it to life. You were so right to paint the walls blue and the city shots with the blue in the background are amazing. Thank you for sharing your progress with us--so inspiring.
First of all, I really love the new style of videos you’ve been doing this year. Really enjoying them. The fact that you’ve chosen to make smaller but still detailed builds is really great. People will probably feel like they can actually create builds like these as opposed to the huge builds you did previously which are very expensive to create. The small town city looks great! Also, didn’t know you came up with the MILS plate light. Thanks for that! Been using quite a few of them!
Thank you the new style of videos seems to be very well received. They take a lot longer to do but it's worth it as long as people are enjoying them. As for the mills light I was really happy that linky bricks was willing to make them. Brick loot is now also in the process of doing them as well. I'm not sure when they will make them available for sale though.
Pretty cool setup, love it. Amazing detail on the whole thing but all the lighting is really amazing, it truly looks like a city at night. The service station and octan billboard are so cool! Wow, I got a lot to learn about Lego
Angelville looks great! I have an idea to maybe add to the story, maybe have the police do a traffic stop with their lights on? That would look awesome! Anyhow you just earned yourself another subscriber! Keep it up :)
What a nice restart of your city. I love everything about it. It has so much detail and atmosphere and I cannot wait to see it growing. Please never stop making those videos! It absolutely made my day.
Somewhere around the city you should have a cop car pulling another car over with blinking red and blue lights. Would look insane at night time with the red and blues bouncing off the city buildings!
The old version is better for lighting as it gives a nice hollow body to pass the wires in. The downside is the slot in every piece. The new version to me is more clean but, you loose the cavity for wires.
Wow the new city layout so far is just unbelievable. Your attention to every little detail brings so much life to the build. The street just draws you right in and definitely captures that small town feel. As always your lighting is beyond amazing and adds so much to the city. Thanks for sharing Buddy. Can't wait to see what you come up with for the gas station.
This is one of my favorite city Mocs I’ve seen and the lighting simply unmatched. The use of vintage sets and the small town concept is real nostalgia trip for me. I suggest you see what you can do further with the diner and give it a proper retro look with a biker gang. This place is just full of ideas and I’m here for it. Well done sir
Thank you so much, to me another great addition to that building would be Neon Lights as back in the 50s and 60s most diners like that were just covered with me on light :)
The new city is coming along quite well. It looks so good! Even better with all the lighting. Keep up the great work. Always looking forward to these updates.
Well, this is 100% percent near perfection what is considered today, how LEGO city could look like. 😱 Down to every detail in every expect, how you come up with things that resembles real life, it is just ridiculous. 😎
There was a bug of some kind climbing over the sign on the rightmost building at 4:22 then he climbs up to the roof. I felt the need to point that out. Great city by the way, very pleasant. Most people tend to go crazy and add everything they can but I like your dedication to making it look like a real little city. The lights make it perfect.
It looks like a nice cosy town. Reminds me of west view from wandavision. The water tower is a great touch I think it really helps sell it as a small town.
Do you think you could do a special video on how to wire the led kits, how to calculate the resistor etc? How 5o attach those plugs etc, a really dumbed down beginner guide. That would be really helpful, the lighting looks amazing in this and your past city, one of the things that sets it high above others
@@BevinsBricks thankyou. I found that coincidentally after I sent this comment. Im watching my way all the way from the beginning. Its fantastic to see the start and the hardship put in when you kind of know the fantastic beast that emerges at the end. I think the detail and the electrics really make your city stand above others
Amazing, really loving the new town videos. This episode was really enjoyable in terms of style and content. I felt like you were taking us along with you on the whole journey. Keep up the great work!
If it’s an option, i think your Lego city would look even more amazing with some trixbrix larger radius custom train track, and maybe another rail line to go around the city
Just WOW! This little downtown area is really coming together nicely. And I absolutely agree.. with your electrical background, your city lights are simply amazing. It truly does have that small downtown feel with all the little building details and greenery... And your water tower and the end of the street is awesome. But, if you have ever been in a real small town, you know someone always has to defend their sisters name on the water tower!! The ladder, the catwalk, the small can of paint in a figures hand.. I have no doubt that you can do it!! 😂🤣
thank you so much for this informative how to for lighting noobs. I am going to implement this in the future with all of my display sets, mainly my modulars but I want to also incorporate this method of lighting (gaffing) for all of my sets. Creator Expert vehicles for example...imagine working headlights, interior center console lighting etc etc. Thank you Bevin...appreciate the content!
Thank you so much I'm glad you are finding this very helpful. I had contemplated doing interior lighting in the cars as well but decided to be lazy LOL
