Dude the detail in that harbor is absolutely insane. To add some color to the walls without making the scene too overwhelming I'd recommend some wooden poles for a nice rustic look. I also think you should make a beach somewhere in your city, possibly next too the harbor on the other side of the shorter table
He needs to put real water lol jk
@@mcdull68 i think he should use studs that aren't placed down
A sneak peak into the sewer system under the city sounds like a really cool idea.
Yep, and one of the sewer could go right "into" the harbor.
I would recommend making small waves instead of leaving the water flat. Just some plates to make elevation difference under the translucent tiles
Wow, that sounds fire. (Or should I say, water?) it gives also more movement to the city. Maybe though it’s better to wait until he sees everything together with ships etc.
around the edges where it meets the walls add some trans white studs
love watvching lego calms me down
Maybe a shark coming out?
@@missambie1921 A shark at the edge of a harbour?...
I live in a quite large European port city (Gothenburg) and some ideas for your port section would be making the railing out of chain strung between concrete columns (most of the railing near the docs here is made that way) and another thing would be not adding railing to the stairs and if you do, only the top platform should have it. I rarely see railings at the stairs around the port where I live. Another idea for the cross section you mentioned would be a wave absorber. Most docks facing the ocean has an area that goes under the docks, like a room with openings towards the water at or just under the waterline. It's purpose is to absorb the energy from the waves so they don't violently splash up on dock workers in rough weather. This area are usually also the area connected to rainwater dumps. Just a few ideas I can mention that are common in the area I live :)
Either way I think this build is fantastic and I always dreamed of doing this as a kid, I guess I'll settle with watching your videos. It is very entertaining :)
I'd also be interested in seeing the chain railing. I think that would look amazing.
I would recommend some kind of very small, simple crane for cargo loading/unloading between the lower docks and the higher market. Mainly because the stairs between the two are so narrow.
Absolutely blows my mind how intricate this city is. Id've never dreamed that something like this could be made when I was a kid.
A sewage system would be cool. Maybe a subway train? I think a buried dinosaur skeleton or a treasure cave would be coolest!
Ok, I’m not gonna lie. One small Easter egg and idea would be to hide the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the sewage system 🤣✌️
This guy would be the greatest friend to have, also definitely the life of the party.
You are the only Lego TH-cam I regularly watch. You are genuinely unmatched when it comes to Lego cities
If you're still taking ideas, and someone who used to visit a lot of harbor towns in New Jersey and Savannah Georgia and now lives in Florida, I think some sort of bait or fishing shop is a perfect addition as many harbors that I've been to have some way to get a little bit of gear for a fishing voyage. I think it would be a good opportunity to break up how flat it is and maybe you could try to inset it into the harbor so that it's halfway between the city and the harbor floor.
Adding 2D sediment layers as well as some “hidden infrastructure” visible from the front would be an absolutely amazing thing to do for that front gap you created.
Loving the progress! Your city is amazing. When you were experimenting with the water, did you try having any 1x2 trans-light blue plates underneath the flat tiles? Currently I think the black plate shows through a bit too much and the lines around the edge of the flat tile (where it's thicker) make the water look kind of noisy. Potentially having a layer of trans-light blue plates beneath the tiles could help soften the contrast between the black and the blue, and also make the water look much deeper (since it would be two layers of transparent pieces.)
it was nice to hear the commentary on the table at the beginning. Those are things we rarely think about with big layouts like this.
You are so well organized and your lego city looks so clean and well designed. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy your ideas. Keep up the good work! Cheers from 🇷🇴RO🇷🇴 !!!
the city is well organised (and legendary of course), but in some videos he showed the space where nothing is built yet on the right side of the city, there everything just flies around
Loving the texture! Keep up the amazing work, Brickcrafts! 💜💙
If you had a single line of light gray tiles on side studs going along the top layer of the harbors wall, like just under the black railing, I think it’d add depth and a bit of detail without distracting.
Harbor is looking very cool, and can’t wait for the moon update!
Love to see the harbor finally coming together after it's been hyped for so long!
On one of the walls of the harbor you should put a hole with a secret area with like a treasure or something 🤷
I think the black railing looks really great👍🏼
Regarding the tan in the walls, use a small section of that with some workman around it to represent repairs being undertaken to the wall, in a section where it will be quiter. Breaks up the grey in an area, without being overwhelming.
This is my second play through; your skills, attention to detail and dedication are inspiring!!
Great! But the light gray wall is really too light gray, and the figures do not save it. There is a suggestion: replace some of the round studs with gray ones, but with a darker shade.
About the color of the water: maybe lay out transparent blue not in 1, but in 2 layers? Add a couple of green ones among them in the lower layer.
You should make a medieval section😀👍😀👍😀👍😀👍😀👍😀👍👍
The tires are a great detail! Maybe add some cleats? (the T shape thingy where the boats are tied down with rope)
This channel puts all other Lego builders in the dirt. You’re an absolute wizard with the bricks.
What would be very realistic would be a area for the fisher men to cut up the fish in the harbor. Living near the water you would see lots of them. And covered in red juice.
Absolutely glorious! I love all the texture, keep up the great work!
Found your city a few days ago and have been looking forward to this part.
I think what is the most fascinating to watch isn't how the Harbor was built or how it looks like at the end of the construction, no what is fascinating to see is the care and the dedication for the passion of the man behind this channel.
No body can stop this guy building entire worlds out of plastic bricks !
Keep up buddy, you are amazing, always loved your videos where you put a lot of efforts to show to us high quality content of lego build.
Wow, the best harbor I have ever seen. I am not kidding. The tires and the moss on the walls just above the waterline makes it look so good. I also really like the fencing. Nothing wrong with it at all. Great job again!
Congrats on 100k subs!
Man Today Is My School In A Hour But I CAN'T STOP MY SELF TO STOP WATCHING This!!!!
0:13 **Cutting wood**
The LEGO figures: *EARTHQUAKE!!*
2:00 - The fisherman was so impressed by your tyres, he simply had to have a lie down!
I watched the German version of this video before it was translated
I don't know German, I just am invested in Lego cities
Love the harbour, it will probably become one of my favourite parts of the city.
Looking forward to the moonbase update
Let’s go! A harbor update!!!
This is way too amazing. If I was a minifig I'd be so gracious to live there.
Would you ever do a medieval build?
I think the fence around the harbour and down the stairs should be made out of chains (not chain link, but an actual chain) nailed into logs, this is more realistic and actuate to real harbours.
And I think the sewer idea is fantastic! You could have a faux extension that looks like it leads towards the rest of the city and the section on the front can lead to (or at least looks like it leads to) a sewer cover next to the farmland, possible also "connecting" an outhouse to the sewer line.
Also I still think you should add some graffiti/street art on the walls and sidewalks that have a large area of just one colour. Even custom printed bricks would add a ton of detail, however I really want to see more people make custom graffiti art with lego. It is built similar to how you made the wet areas on the harbour, just with brighter colours and obviously it would spell out a word or make an image or something.
“I love watching these with you. It’s always interesting, it’s very interesting.”-6 year old nephew
Mate, everything you do is simply brilliant. Why Lego has not snatched you up to work for them is beyond me and my family. Thank you for the videos 👍🇦🇺
A really cool idea would be a dinosaur area, because its like your traveling back in time, moon base to modern town to wild west, then to the dinosaurs
I was looking forward to the harbour and I was not disappointed !!!!
The water is spot on mate! I love it, the black really makes it pop.
You can use the dark tan in a bit of a line/streak in some sections of the wall to signify repairs or a crack.
This is gonna end up being the biggest lego city ever! Maybe you could add some shark fins in the water or make a brick built Bigfoot or custom figure to put in the forest. I feel like it would add more life to the city
if i could suggest any additions to the harbour, perhaps a group of minifigures with some short lines looking for crabs? a pier or two surrounded by rowboats might also be appropriate.
My dad's finally moving closer to me and its has been our dream to make a Lego city for ever, we plan to do it once he lives near me and I'm so exited
That’s a lot of piece inventory in lego boxes under the table there!
Vacuuming while sawing? Genius. I'll have to do the same with my renovations. Thanks for that.
small detail, but you should add fresh water pumps around harbor, no matter what type of boat you use, folks always will need freshwater! :D
That underground/sewage system idea is great!
My quick suggestion is to add a small dock crane and goods pallets to the harbor...
I feel like having a wooden dock would make the lego city feel more lively and colourful, i dont know, i just get that feeling. Looks as amazing as ever, however.
If you are looking for my harbor based figures the ones from hidden side have exclusive hats and actually look really good they are bright light orange too so it would add more color
These videos are great man, I don't have the leisure of making my own lego city but I vicariously live it through you. Great job and keep it up mate
You're Lego City is absolutely stunning man, keep it up!
the wet walls detail is so sick
The dock and water look incredible!
Out of all the lego city youtubers I follow, yours always stands out to me as the most impressive and inspiring, and this new harbor update makes me think that even more
To continue the story of the counterfeit money, it would be cool to see clues that show it might be loaded onto a ship as well.
Would you ever consider adding tvs as the back wall to influence lighting. Sort of how they did it on mandolorian behind the scenes.
Lighting is so important and would add so much beauty to all the hard work you have already done
I love the idea of adding the underground infrastructure to level out the front. Pipes, a sewer system, perhaps a small basement on one or two houses, a small hidden cave with treasure. Something to just add a little interest while not taking the eye complete away from the main attractions.
Oh my God, Look at that LEGO Moon!
That moon scene looks spot on! Looks like cgi will be epic with a black background. Have you tried experimenting with green screen backdrops? Your city will look epic when you get the lighting sorted
Great build there!! I have the same idea of putting a different colour under the trans clear light bluish tiles to simulate deeper waters in my modular city. But I use green underneath, which create a turquoise sea colour.
can't wait when its done!
To add a little bit of colour you could add a little box next to the fisherman with several dfferent colour fish :)
The boats are gonna look so great on that water!!
Absolutely lovely! I'm about to start my stream that runs to my bay. Glad I picked up those black plates a while back. I didn't know if/when/how I'd use them, they were there and they're usually not. Now I know ;) Brilliant, thank you.
This is what I always had in my head as a kid but never fully realized it. The biggest thing I ever made was big house with a shop or two years ago. I don't really use Lego as much as I used to but I always play and use it every year. Your work is amazing man, incredible. If I could ask you a question, what would you do if a disaster came and broke all of this?
This is so cool!, I really like the color, and the design is amazing!
THIS IS THE MOMENT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!
I have a suggestion for a small reference in the upcoming underwater area, so the PC Game “LEGO Island” had master tracks, which were lost.. in a house boat accident… so I think it would be kinda cool to add something that seems like a spilled crate of tapes.
Beautiful as always! But lately I have been thinking what happen to all these lego once we passed away! Bet the kids (if you end up married and have kids) will sell all the parts
which is good but what if they throw them all away LOL..... keep up the great work, your design are the best by far but strongly suggest we need to go out with meet friend :-)
This is so cool!!!
That’s cool! Continue please
Add a small dock to your harbor, maybe a small wooden one. I think it would look good and add a bit more color
Beautiful harbor! Amazing work! Thanks for the updates!
IDEA:
For the pirate mock, you should make it so that it’s almost one pirate kingdom and
Brick beard is the pirate king or something and they go against the red coats, also there should be a jungle tribe!
Good thinking on the dark gray for the splash area! Looks great! Have you thought to include some slopes/variations to the water so it's not entirely uniform?
Loving how this is going to turn out. A few months ago I did the same, made a table lower to put a giant beach on it lower than my city and...I never thought about using round studs to add detail to walls! Now I'm rethinking mine, lol!
I think you should try to add some dry kelp/seagrass on the dry bricks
Just wanna say you are basically the dad from the original Lego movie
That is really cool
Now i got something fun to watch at school on the break.
LEGO city update at 2AM CET? no problem I'll watch it anytime :D
I absolutely love it. The only small detail that I’d improve (although it looks good anyway) are the two trees at the harbor entrance. Those are too tiny for that spot and I would add a bigger ones also for story telling. Usually harbors are old and that would simulate older trees placed when the harbor was “made” in the past.
Plus, I still push the submarine scene. If you need to reach you legos underneath the table you can still use a scuba to go underwater
🤣
It will be cool to see what you do with the cut-away section. Realistic Lego archeological strata going back to the Lego Ice Age.
youre living my dream life
I do appreciate how you have two channels for different languages. You are awesome!
First off, classy using a pic of Nyhavn when explaining the sail part good on ya.
Secondly I'd you don't want to keep putting the tires back on the bricks you could just use a 1x1 stud the wheels fit great on those.
The way I gasped when I saw that we were finally getting a look at the harbor after all this time.
I'd love to see some pirate performers doing a fake sword fight on by the harbor :)
as soon as i saw this i clicked it faster than the speed of light
A nice wooden dock for the fisherman and boats would be cool. Looks awesome!
He's living the dream we all had as a kid
I hope you never never stop building this Lego city coz I love watching it all come together. It’s incredible 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍👍
Seems like I remember having a Lego set with boats that had cloth sails. It was a sheer linen type material with several holes that would secure around a stud, then you snap a brick over it to hold it in place. I would've been a kid though, so maybe I'm misremembering.
You should get the 90th anniversary Galaxy Explorer for your moonbase. Unless it doesn't fit the style in which case it would make perfect sense not to include it. Love everything you do, keep up the amazing work.
