Creativebrick Studio 117 Posted April 30, 2019 Hi everyone, This was my LEGO CITY MOC built and displayed in 2018 that I wanted to share with you guys. The project was my first attempt at using the RC trains with monorail trains together in a larger layout. It took me about 7 months or so to complete the display. There were several things I looked to achieve when putting together this display, but the ones I am most proud of were the following: Raised Free ways with borders and lights to give it a busy city vibe. Freeway signs, Billboard signs, and other type of signs that would go with a realistic city. Tall skyscraper buildings to all sit in the downtown area. There are easily over 60,000 LEGO pieces used in the display making it my largest MOC to date. You can view more photo on my flickr album: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmCH6Ttc There were a few obstacles along the way of completing the display, but overall I am quite satisfied how everything turned out. I have made a few YouTube videos of the trains and monorail in action if anyone is interested. I really appreciate all the feedback. It motivates me to build and create new stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpx Posted May 1, 2019 Its a really nice city, with a lot going on! How did you create the road in the 45 degree angle (going upwards)? Did you cut a regular road plate and fitted some sides to it or? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeriXeri Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Nice City, good use of elevation of road/railroad/monorails going on at the same time. 21 minutes ago, jpx said: How did you create the road in the 45 degree angle (going upwards)?

gotoAndLego Posted May 3, 2019 People often forget that building up and adding layers is often more interesting than building out. Takes up less too as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I built pillars out of grey brick and the sides to give it that freeway look. Oh yea and for the sides I used plates,tile, and flexible hose pieces. It was a bit challenging getting the sides right on the curve road sections of the freeway. The street lights I used on the freeway was taken directly from other lego city sets. thanks guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindicare Posted May 9, 2019 Looks great. You really packed in a lot in that space. I like the freeway guardrails quite a bit, those realistic touches are nice & that’s about as close as you couid get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a main focus in castle building I wasn't sure how it would look packing the buildings really close together like that. And I wanted to try something a bit different than modular type buildings in the display. Thank you and now I have a bunch of city pieces for the next city display.

TheL390Man Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) I guess I missed this the first time, but what a great city, I’m jealous! I particularly love the foliage by the tracks, it adds a lot of character. Edited May 18, 2019 by TheL390Man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brick Extreme Posted May 20, 2019 Great work! Lots of detail and the different levels of roads and monorail track creates nice dimensions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
