I have a suggestion: Add a Diner employee in the back of the Downtown Diner throwing away a cooked crab/dish that is served at the Shrimp Shack, to indicate rivalry between the Diners.
@@RobinHoodBricks by the way what is the idea given to you at least once a footing a solid yellow minifigure with shocked expression in one of the beach shirts with the door open and another May figure holding it open door was that an idea that was giving it at all?
Knowing I have something to look forward to on a Monday morning is helping to keep me on track during these weird days. Thank you for that. I am loving your city with the different levels. It looks so natural. The beach is proving to be a lot of fun! A guy with a metal detector who has been digging up stuff which is leading him right up to the beach hut treasure might be fun.
The multiple levels is really the best thing about my city I think. Less common than you'd think. I don't know of another with more subtle levels like mine. Metal detectorist, check!
I've gone through all my modulars and thought about their positions in the city, including the concept of mirroring them to make them fit. This ensures they are in the most natural setting possible. I'll then fill in the gaps!
This is a difficult time for everyone and as someone who is working the front lines, this provides much needed respite and enjoyment. Ty for doing your videos. As busy as I have been I have rarely had time to comment or watch until days later but this really helps. TY!
I always love these updates and how you take us through the process. If you haven't figured out what to put in that one corner on the beach maybe an ice cream or umbrella rental
Good placement for the Diner, imo - that corner flows well with the pedestrian walkway around it! I'd be in favor of seeing some tables set up in front of the diner, on the boardwalk section. Love the beach cabin setups - the guy/girl one makes me laugh :D the filled up one and treasure ones are neat. The ped walkway across the tracks seems so simple but flows well in the context of the area. Very cool all around - can't wait to see the next couple spaces filled up!
I have a suggestion: Build up the sand around the last step going into the beach, indicating that some idiot was building near the steps and made a mess.
The Diner is such a beautiful building. I purchased my diner over a year ago, but haven’t opened it yet. I am planing an overhaul (expansion) to my entire city, so I figured I might as well wait on constructing it. Also have 4 other buildings still unboxed as yet. Love the new additions to your wonderful city. Thanks for being here. I wonder if others understand the amount of work, time and effort, you put into this channel. I, for one, certainly appreciate it. Well done.
The work, time and effort is certainly significant so I'm glad when anyone appreciates it. I'm sure some have no idea. Thanks very much for your support!
Love this placement of the diner!!! looks awesome. Shrimp shacks looks very cool too...really look forward to all ypur builds..esp at this time when everything is gloomy on tv. I love that lego makes us happy!
22:00 I would consider the red and blue buttons as on and off pieces. For the outdoor showers I've seen in the US, normally it has buttons to turn it on or off regardless of temperature. Some stations have a lower shower head for just rinsing off feet.
My suggestion is a bus stop under the train next to the street maybe with a news stand, and tables across the boardwalk. That way the tables aren't next to the busy Street, and you get to fit alot in without the over crowded feeling. Brilliant as always! Just keep bricking!
nice update - quite varied and interesting :D the Downtown Diner is one of my favourite modulars, and I really enjoyed all your beach creativity (although who leaves treasure in a beach shack?! ;)
I love the placement of the dinner next to the monorail track. I think it looks perfect. Love the city trying to build my own Lego city but slow going. Keep up the great work.
Great job Robin! I really like the beach huts and what you put in them, the naked minifig woman is funny. The design of the beach shower is pretty cool to. Also love the pedestrian rail crossing. I do like the idea of adding tables and seating next to the diner. May I suggest maybe some landscape shrubs? Or if I remember right I seen you can put one of the older Lego bush pieces into a half circular dish/dome piece like a flower planter. I can't wait to see what modulars you will be placing next. Awesome video!
Great stuff! The Dinner fits the setting really well and I love the treasure haul. I can picture some overly enthusiastic minifigure with a metal detector digging it up all across the beach and stuffing it in their beach hut! The shower could benefit from some dark tan bricks around the base to show the sand getting wet?
Everything looks great! I like how pedestrian accessible your entire city is. One small detail that you could add is some flower stems along the train tracks to represent grass.
Yes I need to add a lot of vegetation at some point. I like pedestrian areas. They're often overlooked and too many roads is a waste of space. I have very few roads in my city!
Hi Robin hood bricks I'm new to yotr channel, and since the 1st video I fell in love with your city and channel. I wish I had a city like yours, but I don't have the room and money for it, but I hope in the future my city will be ass epic as yours.
I am loving how your city is turning out, I have 2 suggestions.... First move the diner owner towards the fishing store by 4 -5 studs and add tables to the side of the diner, also add some tables to the edge of the beach wall for the diner. Second maybe add a 4th beach shack, closer to the fishing store, that would be a secret entrance/ exit from the Batcave for Batman to get to the beach...
I've not got the room to move the modular diner over that far as that'll affect the next two modular neighbours, but tables down the side would look good. I'll give it some thought!
My favorite bit of any city is the beach areas, great scene set up Robin poor girl🙈, loved the Diner as well it's the first modular that I have👍❤💕👍glad you fixed the first uploads 🙂
Another great addition to the city. Love the beach shack scenes. Really adds to the whole feel. Also great choice with the mini figs. Awesome job and thanks for sharing.
Omg. I love the shower idea. I love all of it but the shower was done very well with very few bricks. Great job again Robin. And tell me once again, where is the treasure? The 3rd shack or the 2nd... Haha. 1 suggestion, maybe a guy with a selfie stick right by the shower to make it seem like that is y he is embarrassed
great job!!! if i can suggest 1 thing, on the shrimp shack, i would take the tables off the room and put them on the beach for waterside dining. and i would add a sky light in the roof so the cook and kitchen inside can be seen. just my thoughts lol. again, great job. your city is an inspiration!
Very nice video again. I really love the steps near the Diner. I dunno why but they are very nice to watch. I saw a comment about shower being to close to the shack and i dont really like it being that close either but i can understand why is it there + lego distance is different from real life distance so we can all imagine it being more far away. About the yellow cabin: i like it, only thing i would change is to move the minifig 1 stud inside and remove teh basket cause u can't see it anyway. Unless u put something behind like a chair where she can't fit more in. Then is all good :D Also in the green cabin, the golden trophy isn't visible so maybe move the chest against the wall like u did in the red cabin and put the trophy to the open spot. Then again, if u are happy how it is, then that's alright. In the end, it's ur city, we are just the visitors :D Overall very nice to see beach to come more alive!
Haha, yes a bench behind her might be better. Shower needs to be that close due to the queue for more additions being so long. Thanks for your comment!
Keep up the great work Robin, keeping me sane during New Zealand's COVID lockdown. 😍 I enjoy the omnibus videos where do lots of different things like this one. How many official modulars do you own? Just mulling over which ones you will add to this area - although I particularly enjoy when you modularise/modernise older sets like you did with your parking lot, art deco cinema and Doc Ock's warehouse. 💪👌👏
I was thinking for the cpl scene you could put a green 1x2 plate in her hand since she would be holding her bottom suit when he smashed out the door running for the water. love the crossing and the diner location. It is great seeing all the servers coming out to provide food to the mini out front showing that they overlap the shrimp shack diner creating a nice rivalry. I think that having the train station surrounded by all the food service is a great plan. Thanks for sharing and as always I am looking forward to more more more..
Glad it was fixed, love the beach huts, but if you ad the space on the beach, you could do a colin furze joke. If you were still considering the karaoke modular, it might fit well on the beach, but since it is your city, it is ultimately up to you
it's alright, I should have been much more clear, the colin furze joke I was kind of meaning was that he has a video where he puts up a freestanding beach hut tent and digs a small cave under it in the beach, if you could build a small one, you could have half a minifig sticking out of the floor. And the modular I was talking about was the suggestion I made back on the first arcade video with the karaoke place
Love all of the small details you’ve added. It’d be great if you could add something near the old fishing store on the boardwalk like the 1979 snack bar, the 1983 hamburger stand, the 1994 pizza to go or the coffee chain from the 2015 city square
Robin Hood Bricks yes vintage sets can be hard to come by at a reasonable price. That’s why I’m a hybrid city builder using a vintage aesthetic while using modern specialised parts. If you don’t worry about stickered pieces or minifigures you can piece together vintage sets really easily
@@MayoHosko Yes, I like updating vintage sets to benefit from new stuff too. Brick Nottingham Castle and Eldorado Fortress are good examples in my city!
Robin Hood Bricks I don’t hybrid build vintage sets to look modern per say, I scratch hybrid build things that look like they could’ve sold in the 80s and 90s with things like all the modern curvature pieces and modified textured bricks
I had a suggestion that maybe you could add some people inside the first floor of the diner cause it could be nice to see them from the large window and giving some life inside the building there
Hi RHB, suggestion, the half dressed girl needs something green in her hand to look like she was in the middle of putting her bathing suit on. love the work.
I think a grey 4x4 plate as a base for the beach shower would look better. Just a suggestion. Can't wait to see the other modular buildings taking their place next to the diner.
hey I just wanted to thank u for inspiring me a lot. I've been watching your videos for months now and 2 weeks back I decided to rebuild my Lego city after 7 years👍🏼 and I can tell you it's really fun I don't even know why I quit😀 but anyways keep up the good work I love your vids🤝🏽👍🏼
5:08 arguably I'd say the broom is less important considering it is a beach, you could play tennis on the beach if you want to, but you really can't sweep away the sand off the beach. However you can use it to sweep out the beach house if you ever got everything out of there to see the floor LOL
If you were to put some outdoor seating for the diner, personally, I think it would be better (for the mini-figs) if they could sit and look out at the beach rather than sitting next to the railway crossing
I think think a good minifigure to use on the beach could be the hula band member from the lego movie 2 collectable minifigure series. You could also put a toilet in the yellow cabin
I so luv how u put all them mini fig ontop level of the bus .I cee u added plant boxes to side window s in second leval. I did same an at frunt two plater boxe s an made the balconey biger .
I have a suggestion, if you make the railroad cross at the same level of the rails it will look very nice, because the rail sticking out of the road looks ugly for me ;-) Very nice work overall
Todays episode featuring beach life & rocket launches..... I must be your sponsor for this episode LOL. Robin must have been subliminally inspired after watching my channel HAHA
@@RobinHoodBricks I'm uploading a launch right now & had a shell beach video this morning. Absolutely hilarious the coincidences that happen in life lol
Happy Monday. I was just thinking as door on far right is close to steep when open could u make all the door s open to the left. That way it would giv more room near steep when door s open.
Commenting for my husband... He suggests seating on the boardwalk for outdoor seating at the Diner, instead of so close to the street. What about adding a clear translucent 1x1 between the "smoke"?
Hi Robin. Beautiful progress as Always. I've got an idea. I was watching beyond the brick (new video with a city layout watch if you can it has got 17 minutes) And there was beautifuly modified old fishing store. There was a boat rental in one of the walls. I don't know how to describe how it was Done so pls watch it.
Maybe you could have someone who owns the first one with the stuff in trying to rummage through the stuff because he can’t find something and he is sad or angry because of it.
Do you use technic pins when you place two modulars next to each other? Or do you keep them apart? I just started making my city and as it grows I’m unsure of what to do. Keep up the great work!
I used to add the pins but now I don't. It depends if they are held in place by anything else. My pavements hold them in place so it's easier without the pins as well. You'll need something though!
Robin Hood Bricks I just put a video on my channel about this, and I thought you might want to know this trick. I tile off all of my modular roofs so that when I need to clean it’s way easier.
Walk train crossing look s good. I so luv. The dina as u know I have one awsum detail it has. Plus I added an customised it. Up stear s dineing vip room. an music studio on top floor I'm putting the boxing n gym from second floor. into a fitness center.an gym. .
Ok, I'll try to rewrite my comment here as I'm not sure you saw it on the first upload before fixing the video: Until now, I never noticed that your rails stick out above the road and now walkway. Is there a specific (aesthetic) reason for that or is it just because the slopes wouldn't line up if you made it the same height? In planning for the tram I'm gonna have in my city I tried to have the tracks completely flush with the road and so far all my trains have been able to go over that without problems, some even with studs on the top. I'm not sure if that also works with the RC trains though as I am using the 9V system. Also, great place to put the Downtown Diner. I can't wait to see you put in the next two buildings next to it as I have found it quite difficult to match the Diner with other off the shelf modulars (except maybe for the corner garage...) and am a bit stuck on where to put it until I've MOC'ed up all of my buildings.
Next City Update will show you what its neighbour will be. As for the rails, since mine are raised one plate, on ballast, the nicer slopes only come up that high. A slope one plate higher would look ugly and the rails being proud don't look that bad. It's certainly nothing to do with any train clearance issues!
@@RobinHoodBricks Ok, that's what I thought. And for a regular train you are completely right, it still looks fine and cars can get over it without much of a problem.
Make content you would want to watch, of a consistent high quality. Then release on a schedule and stick to it. Don't give up, the first 100 subs will take you ages to achieve but it does get easier!
Robin Hood Bricks I just put a video on my channel about this, and I thought you might want to know this trick. I tile off all of my modular roofs so that when I need to clean it’s way easier.
Robin Hood Bricks awesome! Yes usually you do mention the set. That’s why I thought you either printed them or bought them from someone who printed them. Very cool thank you. I appreciate that you answers questions. Thank you 🤙
I have a suggestion: Add a Diner employee in the back of the Downtown Diner throwing away a cooked crab/dish that is served at the Shrimp Shack, to indicate rivalry between the Diners.
Hahar funny u.
I'll have to do some scenes around the back won't I!
Funny!

A bus stop is a good idea because it works well from all angles. Not many things do. It's also a good plan as I have three more ready to place!
nice update - quite varied and interesting :D

I saw you got a nice habitat from Caz!
Robin Hood Bricks it’s like a zoo: see the mutant in his natural habitat 😉
Caz is very talented.
I love the placement of the dinner next to the monorail track. I think it looks perfect. Love the city trying to build my own Lego city but slow going. Keep up the great work.
I'll certainly try. Yes the curve of the monorail and diner kinda mirror each other!

Wow! There was a lot of great stuff in that!!
Haha, excellent!
It's coming together 🎉, your imagination is inspiring.😺🐈👍
Much appreciated!
Great job! The pedestrian level crossing does need some boom barriers. Wouldn't want your minifigs to walk under a train...
They have more sense than that!
I don’t know why but I just really like the pedestrian crossing
It's very neat and symmetrical. Maybe that's it!
1: How about adding a gate to control pedestrian traffic at the crossing?
Too many barriers!
To add to your crossing you need some grey or brown cheese nwedges or the 1x1 pyramids next to the sleepers to prevent people walking on the tracks.
Nah. They're clever these minifigures!
Great update, love all those little details making your city alive and great 👌
Yay. That's what I'm going for!

I think a grey 4x4 plate as a base for the beach shower would look better. Just a suggestion. Can't wait to see the other modular buildings taking their place next to the diner.
Me too. It'll be great to get another area filled up!
hey I just wanted to thank u for inspiring me a lot. I've been watching your videos for months now and 2 weeks back I decided to rebuild my Lego city after 7 years👍🏼 and I can tell you it's really fun I don't even know why I quit😀 but anyways keep up the good work I love your vids🤝🏽👍🏼
Well I'm glad I encouraged you. Happy building!
Your work always brightens my day. "Good good". :)
Good good, indeed!
5:08 arguably I'd say the broom is less important considering it is a beach, you could play tennis on the beach if you want to, but you really can't sweep away the sand off the beach. However you can use it to sweep out the beach house if you ever got everything out of there to see the floor LOL
Fair point!
I have this set, I love the diner on the bottom of the building it just looks so good with the checkers and the big glass windows
I agree. The curved glass is also very good. Not a common sight in LEGO!
I actually just got the Diner set the other day. Looking forward to putting it together when I get the chance.
Have fun. I'm putting together the recent Bookstore!
Very cool stuff again.
Thanks very much, my friend!
Maybe next you could do some kind of auto show or like a race track. Also you could add a mascot for the Shrimp shack called shrimp man
Maybe, but it's not in the coming plans I'm afraid!
I would suggest to add a flag signifying if it is safe to swim in the water.
That is in the plan, but thanks!
Im re-watching so i can hear what you said during the black screen
So it's all fixed? Please let me know!
Oh that’s why it was gone
@@RobinHoodBricks Yea, No more black screen!
If you were to put some outdoor seating for the diner, personally, I think it would be better (for the mini-figs) if they could sit and look out at the beach rather than sitting next to the railway crossing
Yes, that's very true. I'm gonna have to see what I've got for tables as they weren't in the masterplan, haha!
Love 💕 we’re you put the dinner also love the beach huts Verry good mate
Thanks very much indeed!
I think think a good minifigure to use on the beach could be the hula band member from the lego movie 2 collectable minifigure series. You could also put a toilet in the yellow cabin
There's a full blown Hula Dancer from Minifigure Series 3 which I've got!
@@RobinHoodBricks oh yeah I forgot about that fig
cool video! i love the dinner modular but i think you should add more people inside ( seems a bit empty for a touristy place like your beach )
Yes, a lot more people need adding throughout. Don't worry, this area will be busy by the end of it!
Btw i forgot to tell you, I love the small scenes you added with the naked lady 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Me too!
I so luv how u put all them mini fig ontop level of the bus .I cee u added plant boxes to side window s in second leval. I did same an at frunt two plater boxe s an made the balconey biger .
That's my tourist bus to represent all of you from around the world!
Looking great as always!
Perhaps a ring from the Lord of the rings would add to your treasure room.
A precious? Yeah, good call!
Love it! You should make a surf shop!
I already did one. The surf shop and paradise café near my marina!
One suggestion for the finer detail of the beach: a patrol quad bike with maybe a lifeguard or watchman looking over the people??
It's in the master plan!
Robin Hood Bricks nice! Looking forward to further videos - helping us all get through the lockdown at the moment!
I have a suggestion, if you make the railroad cross at the same level of the rails it will look very nice, because the rail sticking out of the road looks ugly for me ;-)
Very nice work overall
But then the nice road slopes will look worse than the problem you just solved!
I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDSSSS
Yay thanks, Marinar!
😱 u replied🥰
Ah, the Missing Minute returns 😉
That was a mad panic, haha!
will there be coming a new modular monday video?
In a while. They take ages to design!
Nice update. I really want to get the diner this year.
It's a good one. All the businesses are fun and it has an iconic look!
@@RobinHoodBricks I will keep the diner ad itself the middle floor will become a pro wrestling school and the top will be a radio station.
I love the stuff you make 🥰 you should have been on the LEGO master show last year
Haha, I'd have to live in the USA whilst it was filming!
I like it, but the smoke ON the chimney is a bit unrealistic, because its the gap between those black plates where the smoke is supposed to come out
Ah, but only when the moisture in the hot air cools does it condense into cloud-like vapour. That's the excuse I'm going with!
need some small crossing gates for the Crosswalk now too,
Too many fences, haha!
Just a suggestion could extend the steps at the side of the Diner up to the tram station?
Well there are going to be steps in the station linking all the platforms together so no need. Thanks for the comment!
Todays episode featuring beach life & rocket launches..... I must be your sponsor for this episode LOL. Robin must have been subliminally inspired after watching my channel HAHA
This is basically your life, haha. I hadn't made the connection but you're right!
@@RobinHoodBricks i was thinking id hit like button 3x if i could lol
Awww. Too kind!
@@RobinHoodBricks I'm uploading a launch right now & had a shell beach video this morning. Absolutely hilarious the coincidences that happen in life lol
The crossover is very unsave. Make a fence that goes up, like the fence by the road.
Too many fences, haha!
Happy Monday. I was just thinking as door on far right is close to steep when open could u make all the door s open to the left. That way it would giv more room near steep when door s open.
I'll take a look!
What about a final house on the corner in pink and have a "goodie" doing surveillance, spying out the window?
For the deal lighting...what do you think about both down lights AND light poles? Make the most of the space. 🤔
Commenting for my husband...
He suggests seating on the boardwalk for outdoor seating at the Diner, instead of so close to the street.
What about adding a clear translucent 1x1 between the "smoke"?
So you'll do his comments but not the other way around, haha!
I need that space for variety... to be continued!
That's what they're there for, both up and down, although I haven't designed them yet and they look quite cool anyway!
Good Job Bro 👍👍
Danke schön, Meister!
11:50 please add a brick under that baseplate its so wobbly
later in the video I regonized you put bricks under the baseplate THANK YOU
You are very welcome, yes it was a little bit between tables that is now fixed. Phew!
because it called paradisa beach be cool to add a paradisa set on the beach front .
It would. I can't help though as I don't have anything more than Paradisa minifigures!
@@RobinHoodBricks fairs mebe a paradisa style modular custom ??
Hi Robin. Beautiful progress as Always. I've got an idea. I was watching beyond the brick (new video with a city layout watch if you can it has got 17 minutes) And there was beautifuly modified old fishing store. There was a boat rental in one of the walls. I don't know how to describe how it was Done so pls watch it.
I had a look. It looks great but mine's already built into the rocks. However I have got fun plans for what'll go behind it!
you should also add some rocks in the ocean
I haven't even finished the sand yet!
Maybe you could have someone who owns the first one with the stuff in trying to rummage through the stuff because he can’t find something and he is sad or angry because of it.
Haha, a dangerous job!
wow this is nice
Thanks, Tim!
Do you use technic pins when you place two modulars next to each other? Or do you keep them apart? I just started making my city and as it grows I’m unsure of what to do. Keep up the great work!
I used to add the pins but now I don't. It depends if they are held in place by anything else. My pavements hold them in place so it's easier without the pins as well. You'll need something though!
Robin Hood Bricks thanks!
Robin Hood Bricks I just put a video on my channel about this, and I thought you might want to know this trick. I tile off all of my modular roofs so that when I need to clean it’s way easier.
I Think the Diner is ohne of the best Modular Buildings😁
Yeah, I really like it. It's that curved window plus all the awesome businesses inside!
Ought to add swim fins and a snorkel to the first cabin.
Im wondering if it would look better to put the half naked girl in the beach shed one stud to the back because it looks a bit weird currently.
I didn't want her too much in shadow. It's darker without the filming lights!
Walk train crossing look s good. I so luv. The dina as u know I have one awsum detail it has. Plus I added an customised it. Up stear s dineing vip room. an music studio on top floor I'm putting the boxing n gym from second floor. into a fitness center.an gym. .
I haven't changed my interiors for this one as I loved them all!
Ok, I'll try to rewrite my comment here as I'm not sure you saw it on the first upload before fixing the video:
Until now, I never noticed that your rails stick out above the road and now walkway. Is there a specific (aesthetic) reason for that or is it just because the slopes wouldn't line up if you made it the same height? In planning for the tram I'm gonna have in my city I tried to have the tracks completely flush with the road and so far all my trains have been able to go over that without problems, some even with studs on the top. I'm not sure if that also works with the RC trains though as I am using the 9V system.
Also, great place to put the Downtown Diner. I can't wait to see you put in the next two buildings next to it as I have found it quite difficult to match the Diner with other off the shelf modulars (except maybe for the corner garage...) and am a bit stuck on where to put it until I've MOC'ed up all of my buildings.
Next City Update will show you what its neighbour will be.
As for the rails, since mine are raised one plate, on ballast, the nicer slopes only come up that high. A slope one plate higher would look ugly and the rails being proud don't look that bad. It's certainly nothing to do with any train clearance issues!
@@RobinHoodBricks Ok, that's what I thought. And for a regular train you are completely right, it still looks fine and cars can get over it without much of a problem.
It gives a nice bump bump sound for the cars!
what season (summer, fall, spring, winter) is your city in?
I want to have some autumn colour trees but also people sunbathing, so maybe a balmy early autumn/fall!
After watching your great content, I decided to make my own LEGO TH-cam channel. Any tips on growing it?
Make content you would want to watch, of a consistent high quality. Then release on a schedule and stick to it.
Don't give up, the first 100 subs will take you ages to achieve but it does get easier!
Robin Hood Bricks thank you so much!
Robin Hood Bricks I just put a
video on my channel about this, and I thought you might want to know this trick. I tile off all of my modular roofs so that when I need to clean it’s way easier.
Where do you get the stickers from? Are you making them or buying them??
All stickers are original LEGO stickers from sets. Usually I say where I got them from when I use them. The shower ones were from a Friends set!
Robin Hood Bricks awesome! Yes usually you do mention the set. That’s why I thought you either printed them or bought them from someone who printed them. Very cool thank you. I appreciate that you answers questions. Thank you 🤙
add people in one of the room
8:30 thankfully for her, not for us or passerby's lol
Naughty naughty!
@@RobinHoodBricks lol
I have te space car
It's cool isn't it!
And it looks like just your old video who is somehow gone right now
Technical issues, there were a few minutes of blackness so I reissued it!
