LEGO City Update #20 – Putting in levels, theme park and city area

June 13, 2020 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

This week I put the new levels in the LEGO City and started to fill out some of the areas. There is a LOT to do, but you can see how it’s all coming together and I’ll show you how this whole new version of the city is going to work. I’ve got to say, I think the levels are going to look amazing once they’re all in!

Let me know your thoughts on this Custom LEGO City Update in the comments below!

About this Video:
This spectacularly detailed 3-story department store is part of the LEGO Creator Expert line and is designed in a realistic scale with lots of special building techniques and rare pieces.

On the street outside, citizens carry shopping bags, send letters at the mailbox, admire the window mannequins, then cool off at the ice cream stand while a busy window washer works above. Enter through the revolving doors to discover a ground-floor clothing department, complete with a cash register, fitting room, hats, jewellery, perfume, and even a selection of spare trousers.

There’s a brick-built escalator that carries customers to the second floor which has the housewares department with glassware and golden plates for special occasions. Then up on the top floor is the toy department complete with toy house and push-scooter with an impressive chandelier above the open atrium. And they even put a billboard and skylight up on the roof!
