I think the Harbor looks great as pure LEGO. If this was a dedicated water MOC, like an island or underwater or something, I think having a real water feature would be pretty interesting. But, with this just being a harbor on the side of the city, I think it would be a lot of effort to create a small feature.
We have the same profile pic! Crazy
Yeah and the problem is water will go stagnant and smell over time
Man I must say, yours is one of the best city related content on TH-cam, the details are just amazing
Whole heartedly agree
hold on, don’t forget about ft minton, other than that i agree
hold on, don’t forget about ft minton, other than that i agree
@Malachi Budke obviously is futile to compare this kind of content,but on a purely subjective level this city meets my ideal of I have a buckload of money to spend on lego
@Malachi Budke sorry if it came across that way
You are so dedicated to Lego. I can't believe that you have two different channels in two different languages you're amazing. Thank you
His english is really good.
@@CT-hr9nk he studied English
That fishing boat is nuts. It looks so beautiful. Nicely structured and perfectly detailed.
As cool as real water would be the hue you have w/ trans blue tiles over black looks so good, esp with the new white caps ! Best city channel out there hands down
Maybe adding a 2x1 light blue plate under certain flat tiles would help make the water more realistic, like, adding some small wave i mean
That fishing boat MOC would be a great Lego Ideas submission.
If you want to add more variety to the harbor you might be able to add a pier coming from the top section, possibly just the vertical elements if you don't want the deck of the pier blocking the lower section of the harbor.
I love the Lego City inside the Lego City, just like Miniaturwunderland did as well.
Such a brilliant idea by Jonas, and the model is heartwarmingly accurate.
Well done, that man. 🙂
Someone's seen the German video :D
@@Brick_Crafts Hope I didn't spoil anything No wait, we'll call it cross-promotion.🙂
Thank you. Even here under a video with no mention of my build. :D
The ship is spectacular! Maybe adding some birds or buoys as well would help to diversify the water, or even a shark fin of some sort.
Your dedication is incredible. The way you consider suggestions and criticism with experimentation and explanation not only makes the channel much more engaging, but really represents good character. The water idea might be one of the most far-fetched and easily dismissed suggestions yet, but to actually test and show the results really demonstrates your care for input.
I'm emotionally invested in this Harbor Moc and it's unsettling.
😂 You crack me up Ross!
If you want to add real water you could fix the ship to the bottom of the harbor with a few translucent bricks so it doesn't sink and just have it raised to the water level.
I recommend adding pieces too make the waves look 3d. Like add small clear ramp pieces on the side walls and beside the ships. and maybe pieces in the middle of the water to make the water look like its moving more.
WHOA that boat looks insane!!! ❤
Insane enough for Lego Ideas?
Realistic boats can be so difficult to design and build, I really like your design. It's gorgeous.
I'm not sure why people are asking about real water, I think the clear trans blue looks great.
the amount of detail in this city is insane, it feels like a real city
I know you won't change to real water, but an idea that could make the boats float, can be the use of supports, plates at the bottom of the water tank, and trans-2x2x1 cercles attach to the plate and the boats. You might be able to see them trough the water, but it can be an idea to make them float.
Otherwise, really nice moc!
A plaza or a town square would be a good idea for the empty space at the upper right! And some underground canals at the bottom so that the harbor can still continue inwards
Would you consider maybe a historical site to the left in the new location? An old castle with modern scaffold would look very nice with the cottages I think as well as be very interesting
Incredible ship build
I've been watching both Bob Brickman and Brickcrafts to see the differences and other parts that may not be mentioned in one video but the other (like what I believe is a Lego City Basement with a lego city in it). My German learning is still quite basic, but it is a goal to speak it one day. Great video(s). Thanks lots.
The basement is a moc a viewer made of his old layout in the cellar of his parents' home. We are getting close to 2 years where it isn't there anymore
@@Hendricus56 Ah, cool. Thanks for informing me.
Love to see how much more recognition your getting, makes me happy knowing the hard work your putting in is paying off! Keep up the amazing work 🔥
The boat is stunning! So impressive! I love the white water where the waves break in the harbor, maybe some breaking waves around the base of the ship would look nice? Always looking forward to updates!
This is one of if not the best looking Lego city I've seen on TH-cam
That boat... it's really amazingly good, you have such a good eye for detail.
"This is getting out of hand" is exactly what I said when I bought my latest Lego set. But I still can't get enough.
with the water you could put clear bricks under the boats to support them and make the boats look like it’s floating
Rarely we get to see something so beautiful and detailed built this big aswell. The fishing boat is amazing! What a great source of inspiration this channel is. Thank you!
That ship is a beautiful build! And the result of the waves and bubbles in the water turned out very nice and realistic! So cool!!
Look out for any old industrial sites that might come on the market. Old factories tend to have large open factory floors which would be ideal to a large lego display.
i know this is an older vid but i love coming back to the harbor builds. the ingenuity is amazing. i agree that theres much more skill in creating your own builds rather than putting the kits together. i just love the idea of this big sprawling never finished city. its so detailed and so beautiful!
Assuming you really wanted to try the real water idea, if I was going to attempt it, and this is just a suggestion based on my own idea, I would use plexiglass to create a shallow, less than a centimeter deep, pan to cover the entire area that would include the water. Basically a bottom and sides, then coat it with something like Flex-All to waterproof and seal the seems. In this case, I'd suggest brushing it in so as to give it texture and the visual effect of ripples or waves because that shallow of a pan is not going to look like a deeper harbor if there's no forced visual effects.
Next, I would add a small pump to create slow water movement/flow through the pan because stagnant water can develop issues, such as algae growth. Plus, it'll help with the visual effect of making it look deeper than it is. The pump will have an intake and an output tube, place the output tube at the furthest location away from the main focal point of the harbor area, and the intake tube at the opposite side of the harbor, that will add to the flow effect by circulating the water better. You can easily hide the tubes under the dock or inside something.
You could try placing a sunken Lego plate like your current "water" plate in the bottom of the pan to add to the depth effect, plus that would allow you to secure smaller boats in place, so they don't float around on you. But larger boats, like your fishing boat should be heavy enough to sit in the water without floating and without tipping, but still appear to be in the water.
Again, just an idea, something off the top of my head, just trying to be helpful.
Wow! It brings back so many memories of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Looking absolutely fantastic!
This is getting out of hand now there are a lot of awesome videos on this channel, keep up the great work! I hope to have a city like yours one day
I hope you realize you’re literally an artist. And a very talented one at that
This whole thing has inspired me to make a city of my own! It doesn’t look great.. but it’s coming together! Awesome build of yours, love the boat!
2:16 i love how spongebob is just chilling on top of one of those boats lol
The fishing boat is incredible! You could even have the fishermen selling fresh catches to locals
To change the harbor wall up a bit: many historical harbor towns have metal plates on harbor walls marking serveral historical stuff like how far the water ever rose, some important events (where a pirate was killed, vikings landed to raid, romans doing stuff, etc. )
its a small detail but even something this small adds life
I'm not that much into Lego, not do i care that much in general but I'm a fan of the channel because it's awesome, it's a form of art. Thank you for doing this! You really give me hope in mankind in general
This is insane !!! What a build ! You are, by far, one of the best (the best ?) creator here on TH-cam ! Congrats !
The city must be completed ✊
You did an absolute fantastic job on that fishing boat!! Your entire Lego city blows my mind and honestly I would love to start a Lego city of my own. After finding your channel I haven't been able to stop watching your videos. Thank you for many hours of enjoyment!!
These videos are the most amazing thing ever. This is what I aspire to do someday, but nothing compares to the quality of these videos. I am obsessed with this series! ❤👍👍
I see a lot of lego cities on you tube but this 1 is by far the best technical and by far the best understanding of bricks
You could try adding some small studs under the ship on one side. It'll look like it's rocking
He could theoretically motorize it at that point with a simple technic set up. Cool idea.
This is a weird idea and I don't know if you have mentioned or considered it yet but I thought it might be a cool idea to have a space open to the public. People could get to see and interact with your builds for a fee of course. This could help you fund your future projects. Love your channel and builds by the way!
He plans to make it a museum, together with a friend (who owns the German TH-cam channel Brickstory). Orginally, the Museum was supposed to be in the current location but it seems to be to small, so, they started looking for a better place. But eventually, there will be a Museum where people will be able to see all of their creations and collections.
I'm really happy this is your full time job
I think you could still do the real water, but the ship can't float so you should make the water 1cm deep at most. That way the ship can just sit on the solid blocks underwater. And have the real water on top of the blue translucent bricks to give the illusion of depth.
I think for the top shelf something that could really work could be this:
Continue buildings to the wall all the way through the corner and right side of the wall. build the road, build a T junction like you said as soon as possible and leave a big square in the middle for a big centerpiece building. No idea what, but I tihnk a single modern extravagant building like an expo center, or a big stadium/arena. Anything to kind of break witht the established style, make it an eye catcher there. Maybe even something undergound/metro related under there?
Excited to see what you do with the space in any case! love your videos, awesome city and videos!
this is incredible. Just flabbergasting.
I remember back in when I was a kid trying my lego boat from one of the 90's ocean sets in the bath tub. Same result except it also made the stickers come off.
I think a year or so later, Lego did release a set that had the hull as one entire piece so you could play with it in water. Haven't seen them since.
The functions of the fishing boat are great. Well done!
First, add keel weight and then use the vintage technique of rubbing crayon between the bricks befor you connect them to make it watertight.
Never knew Legos can look so good.
The harbour area is way more beautiful the way you have built it than what it would be using real water. The whole build is just showing how amazing your lego building skills are. It should be built with legos :p
Easily one of the best Lego cities that I have ever seen! Subscribed!
abgefahren detailliertes Fischerboot-Design!! Wahnsinn =D
Go for it man! A t belie die how much you’ve grown during these last 2 years! You got me and a few other loyal fans from Singapore!
That fishing boat is phenomenal
I think I speak for everyone when I say that I would 100% buy a set based on that fishing boat! It's gorgeous and I would love to see it side-by-side with the new lighthouse. 10/10
I also would like to suggest that it would be really cool to see a freight train depot alongside the harbor. It could make good use of that narrow space along the front of the layout, and you can never have too many trains!
I love your dedication to lego, the fishing boat looks absolutely phenomenal
you should make some sort of basin with lego on the floor so you can rest the boat on clear pillars so when the basin is filled with water it wil look like the boat is floating. also fun idea you could make a river ish thing trough the city that flows into the harbor with the real water, maybe it could come from the mountains.
Your city is awesome. Have you considered using the Lego boat single haul pieces for lack of a better terminology. When I was a child I had the fire brigade boat and it would really float. I used to play in the tub with it all the time!
The only city series that I can watch. I like your style. Keep it up 😉
If you're still thinking about the water idea, you could build support structures under the water to hold the boats in place. Maybe attach the supports to the side of the harbor
Just a suggestion
For some variety on the harbor, maybe adding a wooden pier (partially broken?) or even a concrete one with a small lighthouse on the end (at the docks level? Or a the plaza level?).
To add some variety again, maybe a cape that is (on the top) at the same level than the upper town, with maybe some caves on the cliff, and a lighthouse or an old decrepit manor on the top.
I mean even when you go to Legoland, the boats/other LEGO creations which are in the water are all sured up with glue and are on mechanical stilts to make sure they don't sink/flip over, whoever suggested that you should make your harbour with actual water needs to sit the hell down, it's neither realistic for you to do or worth it aesthetically - I'd say, especially with the addition of the trans clear plates for the seafoam (which you should definitely do more of, since it really gives both texture and variety to the water, maybe also consider some greenish tiles for some seaweed/greenish seafoam) the harbour looks great with the tiles
Totally understand the reasons to stay away from real water... but if you ever wanted to try that route, maybe try the Theodore Tugboat approach of having little legs holding the ship up to the correct height rather than relying on making an actual floating boat.
your channel has literally inspired me to clear out a room in my house and build my own Lego city, really bringing out my inner child lmao
If you add a beach you should add a giant wave with a surfer on it and your builds are so amazing!
Can’t wait to see this in the museum
Wow your Lego city is amazing
Very nice boat. Your city looks lovely 👍👍👍
What about filling the harbor with translucent 1x1 round plates. I’ve seen this done before and it looks very nice.
If you need ideas for the harbour, you could add some stone steps entering the water and a load of old seaweed and shells.
Love the boat! I had an idea for the water, there is clear putty, I think it is called liquid glass or glass putty. This way it would look like water, just not be wet like water.
Also, I thought it would be cool if you had a car sitting on that hill street you have, like it is driving up or down the hill. You could put a magnet on the car and under the road.
To have the boat float you could attach clear blocks to the bottom of the boat and to the base of plexiglass, that way it has to stay upright because it's being held by Lego, and the water could move around it.
Keep up with excellent work . Your LEGO city is so COOL , Like it very much . It is the most detailed city I have seen on TH-cam so far .
Not sure if somebody suggested this already, but you could make the harbor water out of a resin pour. Looks very realistic and the boats could either be placed into the resin while it cures (fixing them in place) or just placed on top. A kinda marriage of the modelling world and lego builds 😉 and none of the seepage the real water causes.
The fishing vessel looks incredible, really cool MOC. I love the idea of texturing the water with the splashes. I wonder if elevating some of the trans blue tiles with black plates would add more depth to the scene. Always happy to watch
Hey,
Just an idea.
If you have time and effort for all of this :),
Try to get some PVC,( or Styrofoam shold either work,) and put it inside the boats, you could hide it with any lego.
These are light, and prevent water to fill up that much place. The boat should lift up.
I saw this from an other lego builder, so this is not my idea.
Just as an idea. Set Lego sets have a special plastic basis for boats so that they do not sink. I think it leaves less opportunities for design and art, but maybe it is worth trying to design on them?
it would be cool to see a cut out in the upper city where you can look down through a glass ceiling and see into a subway/metro station that the train tracks go through. it would be so cool seeing the train go by when looking through the stations glass ceiling
The missed opportunity not titling the video “this is getting out of land”.
very nice video
Lego have said that their boats are intended to 'sail' across the floor, rather than actually float on water (long ago they did make watertight hulls on which you could build superstructure, but they haven't done that for many years).
For the issue of waterproofing, you could just waterproof about half the ship, and just a sort of clear brick base that sits on the bottom of the water to keep the ship level and unmoving,
The work you have done on the boat with all the strings etc. is absolutely marvelous !
The fishing boat is gorgeous! If you would be told me it was a set designed by Lego, I would've believed you.
Wow! The ship is just...WOW!!!
Idea for the water: when you survive finished the harbour maybe add uv resent? It might be a good substitute for water
i dont think thats a good idea since he want to make every baseplate removeable so that he can easy move it for transport.
Oh yea lol
Omg brick crafts thx some much for the heart!
@@eyelessghosttv9203 oh wait hold on couldn’t he do it in sections???
@@eyelessghosttv9203 like make thin walls to put in the resent so then they can be the same size of baseplates
This is incredible. My inner child is so jealous.
Hi. You can make the boat float by adding a little support structure under the boat. It will keep the boat water level and also straight up.
I love this series so much
Bro that boat ngl is... SICK!
Maybe someday you would build a classic Bus or a Tram, it would help with the old city esthetic
mind blowing!
You should put clear 1x4 round bricks under it connected to a submerged base plate to give it the illusion of floating on the water
