The Lego city would be better flat. Maybe you can make a snowy area part of the hills, with skiing etc. Something to keep in mind is the visibility of the modulars if they move places
One thing you are beginning to realize……you are never finished. It is never perfect. I have completely redesigned my whole Lego room several times. One big reason is…..Lego keeps coming out with new sets and pieces. The best decision you can make is to decide what themes and sets, just don’t fit in your city. Most cities don’t have castles, or theme parks in them. That is why I stay away from rides and etc , because they take up so much space (and they are very expensive).
I disagree if you like a lego kit because for what ever reason you just like it. incorporate it into your city.... did you enjoy picking the kit out at the store enjoy building and enjoy looking at it... then put that lego Pirate ship right in the middle of your layout.... as you said its always changing.... so just have fun.... some people think the lego city police or "President Buisiness" is going to come get them if something doesnt make sense.
@@danielledesma9938 …..I guess we are finished when we just can’t afford the ever increasing prices of Lego.. when I started building my city 7 years ago, $200- $250 was a big price for a City set……now that’s the low end of prices. Sets I paid $25-$35 for 2 years ago are now $70-$90. The last few big sets released are $500, or more. That’s just impossible to afford. 15lbs of plastic just isn’t worth that kind of money.
You should use the walls for other legosets, maybe the Lego art ones, make it say Ladyburg or Emmasaurus. or get the new flowerartset. it will be a great back in the videos when you show your city. or shelves with your other sets like Brixie had before he rearranged everything. You could also use the big figurines, that you have written all the names on your streams. Check out Bevins bricks he do great mocs, now when you have started to do more mocs. Have a look at his new trainstation, it's amazing.
Sorry just giggling at the irony and humour. There is a well, with a bucket, next to the river, next to the fire hydrant that has water coming out of it! LOVE!
I was waiting for this. Tbh the downtown always didn’t look the greatest Imo. Don’t take that the wrong way it’s a learning experience. Maybe when you redo that top area don’t do just grass. Incorporate some different environments such as swamp, winter area, desert, rocky places, more water area, etc
If I were you, I'd remove the wallpaper and straight up paint the walls. I think in the long run it'll look much, much better and you'll be happy 🙂 Heck yes, to a Middle Earth section! What if Rivendell was up on a hill overlooking the forest below? That way you wouldn't have to get rid of your platforms.
Emma you’re so creative, it’s actually amazing. No one else would have thought about having a Girl Scout troop, I’m going to start taking inspiration from you 🙂🙂
Rivendell and Hobbits is it's own thing, I'd keep that separate from the city. Also scrap that big upside down cloud mustache on the waterfall, it just needs a couple clouds at the bottom imo, good luck going forward!
personally I don’t feel the downtown area looks bad but you can take inspiration from national parks and reserves and replicate how they divide the natural greenery from the blocky city
I love the mini land speeder on the beach. Have you considered adding a paddle wheeler in the water out from the beach? You could make a pier with a small casino like in Ozark. The downtown is ok, but I do like the idea of building up the natural area. Was waiting for the blue background - paint would be better and more consistent.
Wall paper has a specific code for the color matching. It could be the same packaging but, if this code change, it's normal to not have the same color. In french, it's call the "bain" of the wall paper, litteraly, the bath of the wall paper.
Extending the "nature" area is a great idea & I enjoy seeing you being creative, more than watching reviews that we can find on so many channels. I also enjoy Lego landscaping, I think it's very relaxing & is a great way to discover new building techniques. Move the 1st rank of modular, make a lake or a river that gives sense to the waterfall & you'll be able to integrate the medieval castle & maybe Rivendell, which both integrate water in the set.. Keep building!👍👍👍 More MOCs, less reviews 😉
One thing I’ve learned about building a Lego city is that you have to do things you like and not listen to others and not compare to others. Doing so will only make you unhappy with yours. I never liked the different elevations personally but do what makes you happy. An idea for Rivendale and castle sets in general is to make a renaissance festival area. At least that is what I plan to do.
That's a great idea. I don't think I'll ever be able to afford the Rivendell set (and I'd prefer to save my cash for modular buildings etc, as much as I'm impressed by Rivendell, although I'll definitely use some of the building techniques once the instructions are online), but if I could afford it, I'd try to do what you're planning, and find a way to seamlessly incorporate it within my contemporary Lego City. A renaissance festival area is a good plan.
Extend your sea/water as well! the work you do with the water is great and you could also make some islands will a couple modulars. Like maybe a shopping island or a winter island and with how many space ships you have maybe Ross can have fun converting them to sea faring boats :) I though the hilly city was a good idea but would be very difficult to accomplish. i know in lego games like lego undercover they have some hilly areas that look good but they also cheat bc the road isnt lego.
The well does make sense by the river because of the fact that the river is very close to the sea making the river tidal meaning th sea water would come in with the tide. Therefore you would need a well for a fresh water source
I would replace your current city area with the amusement park... then make part of it be the nature area, so that it's like another land in it. you can have a river go through the center of it if you want. Then use the areas for Rivendale/LOTR to be a themed area in the park. That's what I would do.
Ok, you've motivated me to comment! 1) Change the city around all you want. You learn what you really like as you go along. 2) Good grief, get rid of that wallpaper. Painting, so much better, easier too. 3) You've got a big low (6-7""? ) platform that you could repurpose to give height to your landscaping. Maybe put Rivendell on it? 4) The river...maybe shouldn't have a right angle? Make a swooping curve? Only me? 5) Brilliant to include Rivendell. You could build in the Hobbit burrow too. Any foresty. outdoor, medieval stuff would look great in that kind of setting. 6) Rebuild modular city on the right hand side. Doesn't even have to integrate with the landscape area. 7) Also random character placement is 👍. Good luck!
Like what you did around the cabin and the girl scouts etc. If I'm honest I really don't like the waterfall, I just saw how it's done in the new Rivendale set and that looks so much better.
Emma, if anyone asks why, like the well, just reply with. " 'cause LEGO ", deal with it. Not supposed to make sense. I mean, watch the LEGO movie again. Nothing makes sense. It is imagination. As for the City, I believe the main issue is that you have building with no roads, or space for roads and backs of buildings facing the fronts of the ones behind them.
1:46 The midevil knight minifig in the camp could be L.A.R.P.ing (live action role play) which would be pretty cute, “lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightningbolt!!”
I love the new sand cliffs, because unlike the hills and walls they have less straight lines and more variations in color. Also, I like the location of downtown.
Your city area looks fine , even Gaudi had to start someplace . The grassy knoll leading to the A-Frame truly looks amazing . Problems with the waterfall ??? Its Lego !! it is supposed to be a magic waterfall !! Later guys , D.
Hey! Love the idea of extending the natural Beauty is a great solution! One tip is you should add lots of trees, bushes, and trails when you can make it like a mountain! For the downtown, you should make the Eiffel tower in the center and modular building surrounding it with roads! So it can look like a masterpiece!
I feel like adding more variation of set size along with freestyle areas like plazas/alleys/roads would vary the downtown and make it more realistic and have more depth. I think a lot of the CITY series shops are overlooked, like the bank of grocery store, they add realness by adding small scale storefronts like you'd see in a real city + they have room to build bigger builds around it. I think yeah, more freestyle building and details with smaller sets would make the city really great. Also some more structure to the city, like with a main plaza or town square, etc. to break up the rows. I do like the idea you had with the varied heights though, it would look amazing with walls + roads that blend them together.
Paint is easier than wallpaper. Remove trim & covers, tape, & drop cloths. With paint brush, cut in all inside corners & roll all the flat. Paint will get spilled & splattered.
Sorry I messed up I meant do you have Tom and Jerry Garfield cat in the hat and the last one is do you have inside out the building inside out with all the inside out characters
Do you have Tom and Jerry cat in the hat and Garfield and the last one is inside our wall inside outside water inside out in your little Lego city please I'm very good daughter can I get a shot shot shout out
