Seeing the wild West City in the same room as the Lego City really gives off the vibe of the dad's basement in The Lego Movie. It would be so cool if you created a minifigure of yourself that is the "protagonist" and is jumping between worlds and working to stop the mafia😂
I feel like a sunset painted in the background would fit the wild west much more than the blue skies. A bunch of orange and yellows would really compliment the colors of the city i think
As someone who grew up in and lives in the American Western Deserts, I really love this model, it speaks to me! I've always loved to go to Europe and perhaps when it is open I'll come to Germany to visit my ancestral homeland and see your museum at some point in the future! Nothing but love from the California Mojave!
For me it's the other way around. I'm from Switzerland and nice old towns and castles and big mountains are something that feels familiar and those desert landscapes is something I only know from wild west movies and the Minecraft mesa biom.
That extra space in the Wild West moc is a perfect opportunity to add some buildings on the hills I think. Maybe a mine or a fort of some kind. It would definitely add some extra height to the area 😃
I only discovered this channel recently, but watching it ahs reignited my love for lego. God speed to you, good sir! I wish you nothing but the best with your creations!
In the museum, you should absolutely add TVs with videos of stuff that you couldn't see so easily! Interiors of buildings, behind something, etc! Especially in the city and moon base! It would help with what's not readily visible!
Since you mentioned having the trains from the city cut through the wall and into your workshop area would it make sense to also have the wild west train go into the workshop area instead of on a bridge in front of the workshop. Having it go along the back wall, maybe even riding on top of the power conduit, then behind the big boxes of bricks until it loops back around to where the hole for the city would be. It would be a lot more work and take a lot more track but that way you won't have a railroad blocking the way in and out of your workshop.
Why not just increase the height of the table legs slightly so the tabletop comes above the cable duct? Then it'll be out of the way, and you'll have a little bit more room to expand. You could also potentially actually use the plugs for something (maybe a lighting system) and have the cables nicely tucked away underneath the tables.
Beautiful! Most American Wild West films were filmed in Italy and are called “spaghetti westerns” as a result. Looking at how Italian landscape transitions between geographic zones could provide some inspiration for making the transition between the alpine city and the Wild West less jarring.
Actually, the landscape shots of spaghetti westerns were usually filmed in the deserts of Spain, by Italians. There are hardly any desert regions in Italy.
That's incorrect, there is a considerable more amount of American wild west films than there are spaghetti westerns. Also only a few spaghetti westerns were filmed in italy, the great silence being one of them, and being one of the best spaghetti westerns made.
That wild west section is amazing! You never cease to amaze me with what you build. It'd be hilarious is you add Doc and Marty as a BTTF reference somewhere in there.
id say, besides the mini figs, you should try and add some animals to your city, the farm part could use some horses or cows, and the wild west could use some snakes or birds watching over the miners and other story elements. It would add that little extra spice of life to your city. but besides that, these are looking better and better every update, keep up the good work!
Love how official it looks with the addition of the stantions in front of the Wild West moc. It really helps make the museum vibes feel more legitimate
Ein tolles Projekt! Vielleicht kannst Du die Westernstimmung noch mehr einfangen, indem Du den Himmel anpasst. Weniger Blau, mehr als Dämmerung, vielleicht noch mit tief einfallendem Sonnenlicht mit langen, streifigen Wolkenfeldern. In den Western ist der Himmel ja auch nie Azurblau! 🤠 Das auch passender zu den Ocker- und Braunfarben der Landschaft. Ansonsten meine grenzenlose Hochachtung!
In the background space you could recreate the scene from the beginning of the movie "toy story 3" with a huge wooden bridge spanning the two mountains. I think it would be epic. Big fan of this channel!❤
Nice to see the return of the Wild West Mock. I highly recommend adding a creek or a river, to the wild west, btw. Those western towns tend to pop up near a water source for obvious reasons, and the stratified stones likewise show up mostly where the soil has been allowed to build up over time before a river cut through it.
it would be very cool to combine the modern zone and the wild west zone with a LEGO suspension bridge, the first half of the bridge corresponded to the modern zone, and the second wild west zone
It's be cool if he could have it so a wild west train goes into the connected tunnel, there being another more modern design train hiding inside that only drives out to the other side into the city when the western has gone in. Sorta giving a magic time travelling train effect
What would be interesting is if you have the track connecting the two be hidden behind some sort of tunnel, and while the train is in the tunnel it actually stops moving and a second train takes it’s place. The two trains would match the style of the time periods and it would almost be like moving through time. You could set up a couple loops in the track to turn the train around when it gets in and then holds it while the other train is out.
To connect the trains, you could put the switch behind the MOC and pass it into your workspace behind the curtain and when you cut through the wall you can connect it there
When looking in the Wild West tunnel, you see a Lego wall, but it is all brightly lit. Having a light (cardboard?) easy to remove cover for the tunnel ceiling could just block out the light to make the tunnel appear dark.
I think it would be really cool if you put a small camera on the train and livestreamed it to a screen inside the museum! You could even add little easter eggs in your cities that can only be seen from the train tracks!!
when connecting your mocs - build portals for your trains to travel through with purple/ blue glowing rings like seen in lego dimensions. edit- OR you could add a glowing line to split the mocs apart which make your audience feel included in the transportation from one "dimension" to the next
You have a flair for color and detail, imo. BTW, personally, I like the connection track going behind the Wild West. To keep the setting more 'pure'. ☮
Being an American who has never been to Europe and whose family left Europe several generations ago, but still loves to build medieval European lego mocs, I e sometimes stopped and thought, “I wonder how folks in Europe feel about how much Americans love castle.” I think I have an answer, because watching this I went, “oh, cool!” Awesome moc!
One idea for the train is to use both of your track ideas. The real connection can be the behind the mountain connection that pops out in a tunnel in the city and the fake connection could be an unfinished bridge with a train precariously dangling from its end like the unfinished bridge in Back to the Future 3. Keep up the fun work.
Id connect the rail in the background, so the foreground isnt cluttered with rail. Or both, and have a double line. Aside of that, maybe a "time warp" "time machine" tunnle would be a fancy addition.
Collective thoughts I'm always too late to add: The reason the front angled stairs feel less detailed than the back, besides the missing railing, is you never added in the support arches that the rest of the wall has. Even without the railing since its against a wall, the archways would add detail. You also forgot the electrical wires after the move, but that can be added later. When trying to rearrange the platform buildings, maybe think about adding an alleyway. They're really useful for city planning as they allow main "public image" traffic up front and small side streets between buildings for "private/ dirty" exchanges. Aka, main roadway in front and foot traffic between for people, trash collection, and maybe mafia dealings. They make cities flow better. The lighthouse would look so cool on an extended version of the rock face. Being raised slightly. (Honestly would love a tutorial on your rock/ cave building technique). There could be a nice gradual staircase to go up to the foundation landing. Don't be afraid of weaving the harbor water in and out of the rock face in the extended area along the module edge. Especially when you could wrap it back in for a beach. If you add the airport, and maybe farmland/ ware houses, I don't know how relevant this would be. But in your rural village area, something to make use of the mountain region, I suggest adding a blacksmith. Forges were always nearby but further from towns because they were noisy and created fumes. Similarly, a major mine entrance in the mountain (city or western) would be cool to see. Or some regular caves, since that's more areas for smuggling, or animals. An observatory would also be an option. They use red lighting at night since it doesn't mess with your night vision as much for star gazing. I'd love to see you create a gazebo/pergola in a greenry spot. Depending on your plans and space, it would be cool to extend the idea of the harbor around the pillar. Paint a sky box on it like the rest, and have a platform table around it (maybe offset based on where's the most space obsessed of perfectly centered around the pillar). You could then build a mountain scaling up the pillar. Would be a good place to make a feature waterfall. Or lavafall if you made it a volcano. Then could add mafia/pirates to it.
One thing you could add that would be pretty cool might be to add a hot air balloon or two to the west stuff, I believe there used to be a kit that included an up/down motion that could be applied to make it even more interesting and add more motion to it
I really wonder how you are gonna solve the railroad connection between the western and the city. I mean it will block the passage to your workshop behind the curtain. I bet you don't wanna remove/attach railroad pieces everytime. So something smart needs to be made here. Maybe you can make a table/shelf that folds open while keeping all the LEGO on it. Like you see in bars where a piece of the counter can be flipped open so the bartender can get through. To keep it open you can attack a lock for it to the pillar.
I think having studs visible in the rock faces makes complete sense and makes it look better than flat pieces. It gives it a rocky look which works really well and looks cool!
I think it would also be an idea to leave the back side the way it is. Maybe it is nice for visitors of the Lego museum if they can get sort of a "behind the scenes" view.
Looking bomb! You should think about attaching black curtains on the edges underneath the tables reaching all the way to the floor. That way you would hide table legs and that white shelf and most importantly it would drag more attention to the mocs!
When it comes to the switch track position in the Wild West mock: - Having the switch in front of the mock would be a nice showing and be more interesting to see having it right there - Having the switch behind the mock and appear along the side from a tunnel similar to the other side would probably give a better connection between the mocks without a somewhat conflict in the overall continuity. Having the connection between wild west and modern urban being so in the open if the switch was right in front may bring some conflict of interest.
Those airport barriers can be called Tensabarriers (Tenza-Barrier). That's technically a brand name, but in English we quite often adopt the name of brands as the names of things.
I think if you do connect the Wild West and City together, you should have a Time-Twisters-esqe tunnel with swirls and perhaps mini-MOCs of various Time Travelers (The TARDIS, HG Wells' Machine, etc) scattered within
Suggestion: some kind of table skirt that comes down and covers the table legs and space underneath your displays. I think it will make a big difference with just a little effort.
I would love to see the railroad wrap around the back, potentially even at a higher elevation atop the new mountains you build in the back! That being said, it might break the illusion you've worked hard on to scale down your facades to simulate perspective. Either way, always excited to see what you come up with!
Tip.. if you have a very large single layout that is to large to reach. Make a cutout in the middle. Buildsomething flat there, like a lake or a town square. Then have it on a hinge so it can be lowered so you can crawl under and stick up there. Its much nicer to work from the middle
I think it’d be cool if, in the background of the western MOC, you make the desert plateaus in a pastel blue/purple to give the affect that they’re far in the distance. Similar to how the mountain in the City MOC looks farther in the distance through the illusion of size.
You should extens the Mountain and desert over the cable duct. Like the Terrain is raising there and hide the whole thing and maybe some cables... Also make it parcial removeable like the houses for quick excess
I think for the switch you should go with the bridge option a put a portal in the middle of It so you could have an effect like the train is travelling through time.
You said you thought about making the train track go over a bridge between town and wild west and I immediately thought about some massive lego bridge built between the 2. Something that doesn't exactly belong in either world but just look awesome on it's own. And is also movable so you can remove it when building and needing access to your workspace.
It’s only a suggestion, but you should see if you would be willing to have the sky around the Wild West be a more orange hue to match a twilight aesthetic and have it fade into the Lego City’s light blue sky.
Sometimes on some other channels with massive builds I get the feeling of losing the trees for the forest, that sometimes mocs become this thing where so much attention is placed on pure scale that detail is just not there but man...that is not the case with your builds. Watching this and rewatching some of your older videos the builds are just so incredibly detailed and well put together. Great stuff, can't wait to see what future add ons look like.
If you want a new idea for the Wild west, at the top of the mountains you can add a mine entrance and rails separated two studs with a minecart. Just for decoracion.
Also, I remember on your old setup, that you added overhead lines on top of some tracks, so you can probably add them back on some parts. It was a nice detail in my opinion.
tbh, i would make the train go along the side of the train display, that way you can easily go to your workspace, and you could make the tracks running along the train display act as if they are on a tall cliff riding along it
I really love your uploads. It reminds me of playing with Lego as a kid. I dreamed a lot about having a massive set like that. You should leave some 1x1 tiles of the Wild West mountain colors scattered close to the base of them to simulate fallen rocks.
I have loved seeing this and all your other MOCs come alive since you got this new place. I can't wait to see how you take everything to the next level!
In the mountains behind the wild west town a nice addition would be an apache or navajos Indian village. Also a bridge full of dynamite as mentioned by other people, can be a fantastic idea
Love the videos, it's always great to go on youtube and see a lego city update. Glad there is finally a wild west update. But the way you threw that base part at the beginning 😂
You can make something like "time-travel portal" for train between those 2 towns. Maybe tunnel from clear bricks and space design or or just huge mystic door, or just picture on curtains. It can logically connect those 2 builds.
A bridge would be so cool! Also I’ve been watching your channel for a long time now and when the Lego museum is finished I am definitely coming, even if I have to fly there
Perhaps the cable duct can be painted a sandy color to blend in further?

Can LEGO please at least half sponsor this man?? We all know how expensive those bricks can get! This is looking great.

A Trestle rail bridge would be insane! Could have some bandits putting dymamite on it too!

I already proposed a wooden trestle bridge over a deep gorge in the the old layout.

I do like the visible studs in the wild west mok.
It gives the rock a harsher, grityy more natural feeling.
Same with the sand/desert/savana.

You should add the Wile E. Coyote, Roadrunner, and Speedy Gonzales minifigures to the Wild West!
Wild West bridge connecting Wild West to the main would be awesome
it would be very cool to combine the modern zone and the wild west zone with a LEGO suspension bridge, the first half of the bridge corresponded to the modern zone, and the second wild west zone

This is absolutely beautiful

Dude! This is the absolute goat LEGO series!
Looking bomb! You should think about attaching black curtains on the edges underneath the tables reaching all the way to the floor. That way you would hide table legs and that white shelf and most importantly it would drag more attention to the mocs!
When it comes to the switch track position in the Wild West mock:
- Having the switch in front of the mock would be a nice showing and be more interesting to see having it right there
- Having the switch behind the mock and appear along the side from a tunnel similar to the other side would probably give a better connection between the mocks without a somewhat conflict in the overall continuity. Having the connection between wild west and modern urban being so in the open if the switch was right in front may bring some conflict of interest.
You can drill a hole from your workspace to have a train tunnel connect the wild west to the city
Beautiful rockwork!

If you’re planning a bridge to connect Wild West to modern city you should totally incorporate some Back to the Future Part III scene 🤘
I think if you do connect the Wild West and City together, you should have a Time-Twisters-esqe tunnel with swirls and perhaps mini-MOCs of various Time Travelers (The TARDIS, HG Wells' Machine, etc) scattered within
Suggestion: some kind of table skirt that comes down and covers the table legs and space underneath your displays. I think it will make a big difference with just a little effort.
That's already planned, don't worry
That second track that returns to the city could be a high wooden bridge like you’d see in them old western films that span a huge canyon
A big technic bridge between the Wild West and your city would be really cool
I would love to see the railroad wrap around the back, potentially even at a higher elevation atop the new mountains you build in the back! That being said, it might break the illusion you've worked hard on to scale down your facades to simulate perspective. Either way, always excited to see what you come up with!

It’s only a suggestion, but you should see if you would be willing to have the sky around the Wild West be a more orange hue to match a twilight aesthetic and have it fade into the Lego City’s light blue sky.
Sometimes on some other channels with massive builds I get the feeling of losing the trees for the forest, that sometimes mocs become this thing where so much attention is placed on pure scale that detail is just not there but man...that is not the case with your builds. Watching this and rewatching some of your older videos the builds are just so incredibly detailed and well put together. Great stuff, can't wait to see what future add ons look like.
If you want a new idea for the Wild west, at the top of the mountains you can add a mine entrance and rails separated two studs with a minecart. Just for decoracion.
Also, I remember on your old setup, that you added overhead lines on top of some tracks, so you can probably add them back on some parts. It was a nice detail in my opinion.
for the rear train connector maybe a view of the train in the back on a cliff would look nice
Have you considered adding some wildlife to your Western Display? Like, dogs in the town, antilopes or scorpions?
An idea for your wild west moc (or of a future expansion of it) could be a wooden fortress
tbh, i would make the train go along the side of the train display, that way you can easily go to your workspace, and you could make the tracks running along the train display act as if they are on a tall cliff riding along it
I really love your uploads. It reminds me of playing with Lego as a kid. I dreamed a lot about having a massive set like that. You should leave some 1x1 tiles of the Wild West mountain colors scattered close to the base of them to simulate fallen rocks.
I have loved seeing this and all your other MOCs come alive since you got this new place. I can't wait to see how you take everything to the next level!
Bring me memory from the old western fortress set from Lego
It’s so cool, the Wild West city is my favorite of your builds! Glad to finally see it back again. It looks great in the room
Guys this looks butiful it reminds me of the great west cowboy life's matter
In the mountains behind the wild west town a nice addition would be an apache or navajos Indian village.
Also a bridge full of dynamite as mentioned by other people, can be a fantastic idea
The way you use colour in your builds is actually amazing
Love the videos, it's always great to go on youtube and see a lego city update. Glad there is finally a wild west update.
But the way you threw that base part at the beginning 😂
I hope to see something like the Disneyland railroad train on the Wild west moc 🙂
that destruction. The utter pain
You can make something like "time-travel portal" for train between those 2 towns. Maybe tunnel from clear bricks and space design or or just huge mystic door, or just picture on curtains. It can logically connect those 2 builds.
A bridge would be so cool!
Also I’ve been watching your channel for a long time now and when the Lego museum is finished I am definitely coming, even if I have to fly there
