LEGO City Roads DONE! How to Build a MILS Curve
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Today we finish building all the roads in the LEGO city!! It looks soo good. We could do this because all 999 of our light gray tiles arrived... and we used them all! In addition to finishing up the roads, I also provide a detailed tutorial on how to build a curved MILS road. They are tricky and very part intensive!

#LEGO #LEGOcity #howto
In general, I’ve never been into Lego City videos from any TH-camr, but I saw one of your videos about 6 months ago and became absolutely hooked! I check TH-cam first thing in the morning now in hopes that a new video was uploaded. Thanks for many, many hours of enjoyment!
Now i understand why your curves look so weird in your city! You go from an 1by3 triangular piece to an 1by4 triangular piece right in the middle of the corner, and therefore more shallow in stead of more sharp of an angle. Why did you decide to do that? I think the corner-solution of Tiago Catarino (in his tutorial) has a more natural look to it, as it increases the angle, just as an circle does!
Yea, thought about that as well, it should get more curved closer to the corner. I would probably just stick to more 90 degrees curves since city roads are often very square.
The 'how to' lesson for the curved road was nice to see. More 'how to's' would be a plus to see since you are the expert, and others like me may not be. So seeing how you did something would be appreciated.
It’s fair to say that the big curve isn’t round enough. Can it be improved?
If you got some parts that'll work, do the experimenting and show us what you come up with. I'd love to try, but I don't even have any of the new road pieces.
Yer that's what I bean thinking I still only got the old road plate with rounded corner s.
Yes, shouldn’t you start with the 4 long angle plate then go to the 3 long plates finishing into that 2x2 angle plate in the corner? Those angles look a bit off
What about some barriers along the curve. maytbe using a single stud and turn them to give more to the curve.
The roads look really good. I really like the curved road, you did a really great job on those. Thanks for the tutorial on how to build your custom read. Their gonna help out a lot in my LEGO City. Keep up the good work. Your motivation and builds are truly inspiring.
This is the best thing anyone has done for a lego city... its a pain to do but when you do it, everything becomes so much cleaner, easier to handle and just great looking... bravo!
Wow
Dang the city is looking so good!
I think the location of the pop culture houses is perfect!
The city is looking awesome. I like the instructions on building the road plates. Looking forward to more updates. Have a nice weekend.
Really like how it's going.
I would move the Lighthouse back half a base plate so there's water in front of it. Which would connect the beach and dock areas water better.
Wow amazing n smart
The city looks absolutely insane.
You have done a lot creating all the roads. Maybe you can integrate the Disney castle with raised platform as the Disney castle is raised as well. But you probably find a good solution for it.
Hi Bricksie, I think it's great you took the time to film a tutorial for the road plates. Even tough the camp ground is finished, I would love to have one for the creek you build. You kinda skip rather quickly on that section in your camp ground videos. If you could make an other tutoriel for building a creek in detail, the parts needed and how you decorate after it would be awesome! Thanks in advance.
awesome video jordan the streets look amazing in the lego city great job
Smooth tilling I like it.
Love it, all though i feel like you could add some traffic lights if you don't have them yet
Jordan, the city looks amazing!!! I would suggest rotating the Zoo entrance 90 degrees so you can see it from all angles of your city.
Jordan, I love how the city looks it’s amazing!! 🤩
I would suggest to make a parking place for the zoo it would look sooo cool if you do it
Trust me😁👍
Lego really needs to create a angled version of the new road plate system.
I have seen a prototype design by someone on TH-cam looked great.
You're gonna need one of those tiny drone camera's to fly around this city soon it's so big, looking great.
I hope you make a tutorial on the trees 🌳 in your lego city 😊
th-cam.com/video/ckD8MbU4CZg/w-d-xo.html
Have you considered incorporating a more curved plate piece in your curve road design?
Plate, Modified 4x4 with a 3x3 curved cutout: 35044
The amount of work seems like it can be overwhelming
can you pls create a part list to upload to Brinklink pls?
Lol me waiting for a zoo update 😂
Where is the best place to buy Lego parts
15:15 noticed there's missing a 2x2 45° grey plate!
Are you going to fix the Apple tree houses driveway? 😊
Uses a $20 Rare baseplate for a MILS Road. Savage 😅
All those parts and they just don’t look good. Its not a curve it’s a weird angle looking corner. Those sidewalks covering the white lines doesn’t look good either. think lego really needs to produce something for these corners. I still think the old road plates look much better.
The problem I have with the old road plates it’s the actual road is so small because there is pavements on the plate aswell even though 90% of buildings already have pavements. If they fixed that I’d agree
@@harleybedford7094 well the new road plates have sidewalks in the version that Bricksie is building and using so that’s the same footprint. But if you didn’t mils with sidewalks like Bricksie I suppose you could save on some space. But how would you have curves without building mils sidewalks?
Personally I don’t like the new road plates for several reasons. But parts/ $ and curves are at the top of the list.
If you like them that’s good they just don’t work for me.
Was just mentioning my thoughts.
Those curves you have to admit look terrible
I'm gonna need you to put your camera on the train and take us for a ride through the city!!!
Ooh that would be cool
yeah...more how to's
1st?
Nope
@@Deans_Animations I was second then right?
@@Batman5OFFICIAL yes probably
They look awful. MILS is just a money throw away to me.
How empty you will feel when everything is done.
Yooooo
Surely you have nothing to do with this lego city
"curve" - please AFOL- there MUST be a better way to create a curve?
MILS roads are terrible! The old road plates are so much better looking.
Hello Bricksie! I love your vids! I have been watching you for 1 year now! You are the best! ❤ hope to see you at 1 million subs!! 😄 👍
Awesome tutorial on the road plates. Exactly what I needed to see today. Thank you. City is definitely looking super fresh.
Why won’t lego come out with a curve road?
Sorry, I hate the MILS corner's. Why didn't Lego make them? Because they couldn't make one they were happy with either.
I presume because whomever at LEGO designed the plates was looking at American grid style city layout systems that don’t feature corners or curves as much, as opposed to European cities that feature them more. 🤔🤷
@@arghjayem that’d be pretty strange considering Lego is in Denmark
Yes agree
Not sure if you're unfamiliar with big cities but most pedestrian areas feature interesting tile work and greenery in addition to the bland gray sidewalks you would expect, as well as sidewalk bumps and gradients at crossings for wheelchairs and strollers. Integrating more realistic city details would free up a lot of grey tiles here.
I guess it would be diffrent the side walk depending where U are. I not a fans of them new Mills road plates but you's half them are good for walk parts or drive ways of in industrial factory part or even factory roof top s or you's as panel on building an little shop roof s to I'm sticking with the old road plate s.
The trees in front of the townhouse are way too green and a lot of the surrounding ones, they don’t match the vibe of the overall area. I recommend you change them with some flowers or trees with a lighter green.
I think one thing would look cool is instead of making the side road lanes white, make them yellow in just one road to mark it is a tipe of motorway.
Love your city, great job!!!
I love your Lego city, I wish I had that city. Btw I really love your Lego city update videos. Keep it up man 👍
love the curves on the mils plates, SO SMOOTH!
I am pretty sure the Bowling Alley takes up 2 baseplate. So it won't fit in that space.
Me: Suddenly realized I will never have as epic of city as Jordan.
Also me: Grateful to learn and get awesome ideas from the channel.
Hi Jordan. Still loving your channel. I was going through the Vespa 125 2 days ago and found parts I think you might perhaps be able to use to improve the big curve of the road mills builds.
Part No: 80015, 27507 & 68568
After searching through Bricklink today both parts 27507 & 68568 has a light bluish grey version but part 80015 is on the wanted list for light bluish grey so not sure if it is available then.
I hope this information finds you well and that it might help you improve your mills road builds in the future.
Keep up the amazing work and best wishes to you, Mrs Bricksie and the twins.
Imagine your kids in like 9 or 10 years and realise that thair dad have a youtube channel and 10 milion subs!
Wonderful update and great job with the new city layout.
Light Plate elf curve with a dark sharp oval tiny cloud on the top left
The city looks alot more complete ! :) Always a work in progress. Growing and changing ! Just like a real city ! :)
Unpopular opinion: take it all apart and put it back together 😜
While you have a excellent city build, realistically with all the cars driving around, your LEGO people would be furious that they couldn't find a place to park. They'd have to take a bus or walk miles after parking just to visit or shop at the place they wanted to go. The Kwik-E-Mart parking lot would be full of non-customers. LOL
Watching out of order as I only discovered you when the Winter village popped up on my feed, that's what I hope to build. Well a Christmas scene anyway. Funny to see what the city looked like before I started following.
Anything I build from now on will be on mils plates. Going back to try to convert everything has been a pia
Nice!
The old road plate is much better than this, I hope lego to reproduce the old road plate like 60236
Watching your video whilst building the titanic
Where did you find that baseplate? Did that come with an old west set?
When buying 999 tiles from the lego group do you count all of them to verify you got all of them or do you just trust the lego group to give you all 999?
I just trust them lol
Would love to see you attempt to build a roundabout road.
i still like the layout u had 4-5 months ago the most.
What do you do about dust
Great video!
Hello hello
Second
Looking really good! Don’t forget to remove the white lines in the road in front of the entrances to driveways.
Thank you for the instructional video.
Nice to know how you build the curved roads
It look like a nice idea, and i m sure it looks great by street cross X and T once but for curves i prefer a brickbuild/selv build element, because the wite line is missing and the angle hm is little strange outside, maybe its possible to fix it with brickbuild too
If you continue to have the Hogwarts express go around the city you should make a replica train station from the movies
Jordan is it possible to do a tutorial on the Custom MILS Plate and foundation you built for the Kwik E. Mart?
I saw you were starting Star Wars rebels, that was my intro to Star Wars, you’re gonna love it
Thanks for how to build the corner about to start my city and you gave me inspiration
The city is looking amazing with the new bigger layout and the finished roads!
you could make double corner mils roads be connected and use 1 regular road piece instead of 2 cross walks
Awesome tutorial.
The roads look a lot better now. Once the details are put in, it would be cool to see how the road system works
It looks so good! Always, always need more bricks and plates.
Thanks for showing us how to build the road corners. So helpful!
Love your videos
Nice streets! Your twins won’t get bored;)
Great tutorial!👍
Great video. 👍
FIRST
Huge fan! Building my first lego city & I have a quick question: is it necessary to elevate the streets and buildings with the extra blocks underneath the baseplates? Or would it be fine to simply have modulars without an extra baseplate below & streets without any bricks below the streets for the added height?
Thank you in advance!
Thank you in advance Mr. Bricksie
Not necessary at all. We've been working on our LEGO city for 7 years and just recently converted to MILS.
@@Bricksie Thank you for the reply! I had not heard of MILS before, but just typed Bricksie MILS and saw that you have a video on it. I'll be sure to watch your other video for more information. Thank you!
I'm not a lego builder so what do you mean with illegal building technique?
Building techniques that are likely to damage your bricks so it is often encouraged within the Lego community to avoid them.
@@elizabethcapps1179 Thank you for answering my question :)
It looks weird if you ask me. IMO just keep it square so that the white line isn’t discontinued on the outside corner.
Yes! thank you..
Thought I was the only one that thought so or was honest enough to say Hey they look weird. The curve looks terrible and the white line disappeared under the sidewalk?
I don’t use new road plates but if I did they would only have 90’ angles because curves are just not looking good
you should add a few speed champions into the city roads
Hello Jordan! Thank you for the curve road tutorial!
Today Ive been trying to text you on Instagram but there is some issue with delivering the message. Is the problem on my side or do you have some kind of limited DMs?
If you have a question, please ask it here. I recommend trying to reach out on TH-cam rather than Instagram, as I get such a high volume of messages and cannot respond to them all.
@@Bricksie The message got sent right when you answered to me here. :) I was trying to show you my MOC that Ive kinda built for your city. My account is lego fan 03. If you read it, you read it. It is not that important, but I would appreciate it:)
Tbh the mils plates aren’t worth it because they are a money vacuum and it takes up the same area as the classic road plates but more expensive
