Forests are great for adding wildlife and recreactional features (after all, everyone's got at least one RV in their collection). They're also a great way to utilise the space above a Train corner, building a tunnel around the track. Mountains can be used to great effect, adding in a ski resort with a cable-car to the top. Exotic Features - Snow-capped mountains, forests, zoo, Hollywood style sign, meteor crater (ok maybe not meteor crater) but the more complete your city becomes the keener you'll be to expand it in different ways.Airport - Due to size limitations these are rare, but adding a small local airport with some of the great airplane MOC's on Rebrickable would certainly be enticing.If you're not starting out with a train I recommend you consider your layout as if you were so when the time comes you can fit it in without destorying half your city. But a city with a train does look awesome. Train / Light Train - These can be harder to incorportate into a city than you might think, they can take up alot of space (especially the corners) and track is expensive.Usually people have an area outside of town where townsfolk can have a day out. Amusement Park - Due to LEGO's continued love for this genre of sets, amusement parks / fun fairs are a common feature in Cities.And if you have no room for the actual buildings consider placing some police cars and fire trucks on your strees to represent them. I can see why a sprawling hospital isn't very practical but a Doctor's Office would fit great. Public Services - Surprisingly, Police, Fire, and Hospitals are usually missing from Cities despite their prolific status within LEGO products.If a Builder adds housing they usually just have a small handful of houses on the outskirts of the Downtown to suggest a suburb, this is a great compromise. Most people don't have a warehouse to build a city in so having a sprawling suburb isn't usually something builders concerntrate on. Housing - This is harder to put into a city.Industrial features tend to be a little rarer as it moves a display closer to realism than the escapism world most people desire when building LEGO. The water also makes it easy to add some more industrial builds, like cargo ships, fishing boats, oil rigs. Beach / Harbor - A place for your townfolk to relax, grab an ice cream from a street vendor.For those that use LEGO's Modular buildings this area is what most LEGO City Displays consist of.

The focal point of most Cities, after all your minifigures do need somewhere to go. High Street / Retail district - with shops, restaurants, and office space.

Is it a harbor town? Bustling Sky-scraper paradise? Quaint town with rows of townhouses? Larger Cities incorporate most of these things in some capacity but that doesn't mean you have to. However there are common things that link most LEGO Cities.įirstly you want to think about the scope of your City. As with all LEGO you are only limited by your imagination. There are no rules about what you must put in a City. It also helps limit how big a MOC will be also saving me valuable space. If a MOC uses too many parts I will not be able to build as much. This is largely a budgetary consideration, I don't have unlimited funds and would like to build as much as I can. I will not be ruling out alt builds of official sets but I will not be putting a LEGO modular in it's official form in my city. Every single one of my buildings will be a MOC designed by you. No official LEGO modulars or unaltered City sets.Roadplates Rebricksberg Layout Conclusionįor those of you who missed the first article and now find it tl:dr here's a summary. I'm going to be talking about common features, roadplates, and whether a LEGO city should be realistic and contain a Starbucks on every other block.

Beginning where all city builders should start, the layout.

It's taken me longer than I was planning to get you part 2 of my Rebricksberg ongoing series but here it is. A couple of months ago I started Rebricksberg with this post where I built underthebricks Paranormal Apartment MOC.
