- In this LEGO city update I start building the massive mountain! The mountain sits right behind the zoo and will cover the first raised platform that supports the Ninjago modular buildings. In this video I add the raised platform and build the base layer of the mountain. I still need to figure out how I am going to treat the countryside and add details... but so far so good!

It's quite staggering when you see the rock wall on your desk and think, wow this is enormous. Then you showed the overhead shot of the city and I swear I couldn't even see it. The city is just gigantic! It's looking amazing!
Came here to say the exact same thing, he shows the view from upstairs and I'm like why didn't he put the giant mountain in there, walks down the stairs and I still didn't see it till he pointed it out. Looks great Jordan.!!
Felt the exact same. Really puts the size into perspective
That first “cavern” you put in would look really good with a waterfall there flowing into the zoo and adding water in there!
This comment needs more likes!!!!
The water flowing into the zoo could become part of the aquarium.
That will be good
Consider a more gradual incline for the base of the mountain edge in the countryside area, as opposed to the normal steep cliff edges you have made with previous mountains. This way the mountain will look more natural in the rural part of your city, and more 'cut into' in the more urban areas. You can always get steeper as you go higher, which is more realistic for mountains.
It would be cool to put the Bears against the mountain and give them a small cave built into it
thats a cool idea
With the cliffs behind you can make caves for animals to expand the zoo and give more space to the animals.
Keep up the great work. Watch all your videos for years.
Ninjago City is a highlight in any layout to me, and the elevation helps even more
River canyon on the side by the country? Browns, trees, waterfalls, goat herder? This mountain is going to be EPIC! Congrats 🎉
Slowly but surely we are watching a masterpiece come together 😊
Great start to an epic mountain!! Can't wait to see your vision completed.
Water really pops from the view coming down the stairs 👌🏼👌🏼
A batcave in the mountain would be awesome to see
You should absolutely have a hidden cave for a nice bricksie Easter egg
Wooow............your city is turning out awesome! I think the Ninjago district is a great idea., I can't wait to see it! Mountains looking good, too! You go, Jordan!!! 🤘😎
Looking great man
Looking good so far
Looks incredible. Great detailing. Can't wait to see this finished. Still loving that beach....even my wife, who's not a massive Lego fan, said that looks very impressive! 👍🏻
Mountains Jordan, I want to see mountains....little play off LOTR 😅 Looking stellar man, and can't wait to see it come together
That's a lot of work. Little picnic areas on the rock work overlooking the zoo and city would help break it up a bit
Looking good! I hope Joseé is healing well! Well wishes to Mrs Bricksie!
I’m currently building a batcave so I’ll try to include some of these techniques into my moc!
Never apologize for too much VO. That means you are building. Best part of anything LEGO related is the build. Great work!
BURPs are super useful for terrain building. It doesn’t even take many more pieces to make them look good.
Some rolling hills with trees would look good leading up to the mountain. You can add a distinct tree line to the top of the mountain.
Heck yeah, I was looking forward to the mountain construction. Looking good!
So cool you get to rebuild your entire city man!! It looks sooo awesome
Hey bricksie the water looks soo good ❤
Man, it must feel daunting at times looking at everything you need to do! Looking great!
Flip some of the big mountain pieces with the “inside” facing out. Gives more of a realistic look while still using the same piece. You can still blend using the same technique and gives a better overall look!
When a LEGO City is so big a human being looks small😅
Would be cool to have the mountain have little caves or dens for the animals in the zoo to have be apart of their enclosures
LOVE IT
this is what we want awesome!
Brickcrafts is very good at Lego landscapes! Bricksie you Should give him a watch and get some ideas for building cliffs!
Some rice paddies going up the mountain would make it look cool
awesome!
Please build a BATCAVE into the mountain somewhere, has the downtown core got a Wayne tower? 👀
Have you considering adding a separate train-loop a while up the mountain? I think that would be really cool with a train going in and out of tunnels up in the middle of the mountain!
Your elevation really helps show off more details of your city. Plus the mountain is really taking shape and becoming a focal point. I'm really liking the mountain building, I look forward to watching it grow.
Might be cool to leave a section of the mountainside as removable to build a mini hidden cave like you did in the old campground.
I'm so happy to the start of the mountain!! That rock!!🤟🤟
you could use under the wood of the mountain supports as places to store lego empty boxes you want to keep haha easy hidden storage
Good start! I'd love to see some waterfalls along the sides of the mountain to link up with the existing water in the city.
Finally mountains! Been really looking forward to seeing how this pans out. Scrap the zoo and let the animals roam free on the mountain.
18:50 Is the market being connected backwards internal
Looks kinda off to me
Mountain looks epic. Going to look even better with detail, slopes and foliage. I would make the country side gradient quite subtle. I think it would be cool to have some massive rolling hills before the mountains
You should make the bird enclosure a dome against the mountain !
All right! Look at you go dude!❤
It would be cool to incorporate your rail system into the mountain in some way.
The inset part of the mountain wall actually looks perfect for the waterfall. Water carving out a part of the mountain like nature does and the way it's sitting now it's a waterfall in two parts making it a bit more interesting.
It'd be cool if there was a purely vertical set of columns with the BURPs and having a rock-climbing scene!
A cable car to the top would be nice ;-)
Looks so so cool and it’s easy to visualise now how diverse it will look once you add slopes plants waterfalls frodo, samwise and Gollum escaping monkeys and all sorts of other fun details to it.
That noise doesn’t sound like wood sliding across a table to me 😏I heard too much Tim hortons coffee can produce such noises. 💨 😜
Cool update, brickcraft Made Some cool mountains maybe you can do something like that also😊. Like the progress good job
If are still planning an elevated railway line, it would be cool to see if you could get it to snake through the mountain.
Rocking out 😁
The mountain is looking very good!
Love it ❤man
First I have to congratulate you on a very successful video today! It was entertaining and informative. The voice over is a great way to do it. You speak clearly about what you’re building without rambling and repeating yourself and you get to crank your tunes while building. Very good job on the filming of the timelapse sections. What a night and day difference between today’s video and yesterday’s.
Also we both think everything you built today looks awesome. The mountain looks great behind the zoo and it’s going to make your whole layout far more interesting. Whoever said you build crappy mountains doesn’t know what he’s talking about. So far your framework for the mountain is great. Good job!
Looking good. I actually really like that curved mountain wall.
if the part of the mountain will be used as a part of zoo's enclosure it would be great to make a cave in that spot.
Loving the rock work so far! You don’t give yourself enough credit for your more organic building. It looks great! If I may make a suggestion, I wish you would channel your eye for organic design towards the zoo design. Most zoos have wandering paths and offer unique viewing angles based on the animal and needed enclosure. The large dual level walkways really take up a lot of room that could be used for stories, more organic walk ways and varying elevations.
Put another way. Think about the concept of your campground, how natural it is and apply that to your zoo. Zoos really try to mimic habitat as much as they can. Stark walls and glass take a way from that. Imagine embedding some glass into rock work as a viewing area. Or an elevated wooden platform with an enclosure with angled netting that keeps the animals from jumping out and allows a more natural view from above without needing windows at all. That sort of thing.
The inset variation on the rock panels is a good start to prevent it from looking too uniform. I like the depth changes. Before you get too far into it, you should consider putting a cave or two in the bottom of the mountain to integrate with the zoo enclosures. A could of animals poking their heads out of the rocks will add some neat scenes.
I think the zoo really needs a refresh, try fences and paths maybe over raised platforms?
Great video today. Can’t wait for more city updates
All that mountain needs some caves!
This is what we talking about…. Bricksie back… all you needed was holiday…. Lets get building….
Where you talk about the narrower platform on top of mountain, that could be the ninjago mountain temple, similar to your older one, so the temple is at the very top looking down into the city, and each quadrant can have its own mountain topper relevant to the locality, the city can have some apartments, the countryside has mountain view observatory, ninjago has temple, theme park has a ride station on a cliff drop or observation tower etc, the snow village has santa shack and ski lodge run start…. Each has its own side and separate peak element but each unique to its feature on is face side view
Lots of slopes love the new texture new mountain is 🍕
Love the vid
❤
Wow the scale is crazy… I imagine an order of 10,000 BURPs will be placed soon
Are you open to reconsidering the zoo structure? How about taking a look at how some more natural zoos design their enclosures. Singapore zoo would be a good starting point.
you should consider making a mountain range with a valley in between so there are two mountains rather than a huge mountain think it will make it more realistic also you can also possibly have a river train and road in the valley. Love your channel. 😊
It really is amazing how much progress you're able to make on this while also filming and editing the videos. Mountains are looking great!
Looks great but what about an airport out in the countryside area
So awesome😱😱😱 Just make sure the mountain is going VERY up higher than all the tallest buildings in the City. When the BIG mountain almost being done in near future, would it be so so cool with lava floating down the mountain!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏💥💥💥💥
I love what you have done with your lego city
Looks really awesome
Would consider making another section of your mountain incorporate the bat cave?
I think the rock face is a bit too much in the same place. Consider pulling an 8-brick step-up inside the zoo somewhere; this will dampen the suddenness of the cliff and give you some more geography to play with inside the zoo.
Great looking start to the mountain. Maybe somewhere else along the mountain, add a mineshaft or a cave going into the mountain.
I totally think he should incorporate some of the city mining sets into a mining operation in the country side. Maybe, just behind the industrial looking train yard/harbor area. Around the corner for the zoo!
Imagine the cook scene that could be created if a mine tunnel accidentally "broke through" into a cave from the bear or puma enclosure! My $0.02 worth!
The more I see the city taking shape the more it reminds me of a giant GTA map.
A mountain should be at least a 1000 ft AMSL. Even at 3 times the height your at, you'll be barely higher than the tallest buildings in the city. Think of the mountains you saw in some of the dioramas in Billund, they were enormous!
Batcave!
You have to make dungeons and caves In there!
Can you sneak Frodo, Sam, and Gollum somewhere on the mountain?
The more and more I see some builds on the city I keep thinking that you should really consider moving your sets and associated shelving upstairs and the parts/work area downstairs. Similar space but I feel like way more efficient
Hi Bricksie.
The mountain is looking good so far! I think some rounded shapes in addition to slopes will also add realism. Yout different colours will look good too. Way to go and a great start to the hub of the City.
The beach looks fantastic, as does the ocean. My husband suggests making the waves nearer the shore longer.
Keep doing what you do, looks fantastic, can't wait to see what's next 🐐
man. this is some MASSIVE mountain
Great work, hope there aren't too many negative comments about the rock panels!!
Would be cool if it had several “tops” so it looks more like a mountain range rather than one solo mountain
In rhe 8 stud wide gap, you could make it look like a rock fall
Great start, dude! I think you were saying yesterday that you thought the countryside train line should be in a bit of a gorge with the eventual hill going up sharply on either side, but maybe just making some of that section into a tunnel underneath rolling hills that eventually meets the mountain could make sense?
Happy full time youtuber 🎉 anniversary
WOW! Thank you! It didn't even dawn on me!
Adding switch backs or hiking trails into the mountain would be cool
Wow! It’s mindblowing to see the mountain rising on your building table vs being placed in the city! The scope of the Lego city is huge! Have you thought of using the MURPs, BURPs etc sideways as attached to SNOT bricks? They would cover more area for a while when you develope the mountain range 😉
Should do a batcave inside there
You should use duplo for mountain elevations but I love your corner for the mountain but use duplo for back support that what I do for height support in my builds
It would be cool to add either a cave or an overhang with a waterfall in the mountains to make the rivers more realistic
I've said it before, and will continue to say it until i get my way! 😅😂 you totally need to incorporate a Wayne Manor and batcave further back on the tiers of the mountain overlooking the downtown/residential/amusement park zones of the city... then your police hq can have a bat signal incorporated into its roof. Think how cool it would be to be able to pup up through one of your access holes and see a bat cave as an easter egg to your build!
Give me a batcave/wayne manor @bricksie!
Think you should just finish off the back of the zoo instead of trying to incorporate it into the mountain and will make the fence look better. Also think zoo looked better as a grid giving the animals more room instead of the angled viewing areas which made each area smaller
