I just don’t like how the 2x4 tiles stand out so clearly
agreed
Well they are legos. 😆
Wow, your MILS version is the first thing I've seen with the new roads that I've liked. Nice work.
amen to that
Completely agree with you
YES,YES,YES, I will be building it tonight.thankyou sir!!!!!!
You have made my day buddy.👍😀
Wow! Really cool seeing the 2021 roads work with the mils system! I just started on my city and it's great getting all these fun ideas 😊
This is definitely the better way to use the new road system. Good job
Those actually look really cool! I think you've convinced me to go MILS!
@@BevinsBricksWorld Me too, just as a trial.
Still not a fan of those new road plates. But combined with the Mills system I must say, it looks much better
I really like the printed pieces in this set as well
They look really useful for certain MOCs. I just wish they were a bit wider. On the bright side it looks like there’s a way to make them wider.
I think they would also work well as road for a high way because they have anti studs on the bottom so you can build support structure under them.
That is really cool. Will you make a tutorial for this?
@@BevinsBricksWorld please...
Would be cool
Great video glad to see the new road plates
Agree on the need for them to kind of make that solid studs all the way through so we could depict certain lines if we wanted to
I am planning to offer yellow stripe plates soon to help with the center lines
This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing!
Bevin you might be a LEGO GENIUS! Not only did you nicely show how to put the new road set into the MILLS system, but you killed two birds with one stone by also showing how you might be able to cut down cost/hassle for those that might have to do a bricklink or somewhere else order. Green 32x32 plates are cheap($6) and fairly easy to purchase. A lot of ppl have LEGO pieces laying around to create MILLS System framework, but if not you can buy bulk pieces really cheap as you have shown on your previous videos.
Me in particular will not do the Mills System for my town because I have budget constraints, but maybe I'll do one MILLS plate for a display scene of some sort and buying one set of the new road system.
I'm really happy you did this video because I was an absolute no on the new road set, but I just maybe change my mind down the road.
Thanks 😀👍👏
considering I am just starting my city, this was my plan. As you see, having just came back to Lego within the kast 4 months, I am not bothered by swapping out my road system with this new system, or switching out my modulars to a mils system...I'm just starting out with mils and this new road system from my beginnings! My only regret is the cost of Modulars 1-13!!! Yeah, some of them gonna be expensive!
That is a genius idea!!!
Looks like you found a new play ground for to work and play with in your city. I like what you did to show as well. Great work on your part.
I wasn’t sold on mils before, but I definitely am now, great design
Me too when I saw them just snap together it was like wow layout time saver
Love your power lines with the transformers on the pole
I wanted to thank you for showing us how the new road plates can be used to make mils road plates. That pushed me over the edge and now I'm a mils builder for life...im 6 road plates in after and have transferred several buildings over to mils plates in the past week or so...now I'm waiting for more parts to make more plates. I thank you but my wallet needs CRP!!
@@BevinsBricksWorld thanks for letting me know...im going to try to stay all Lego brand as long as my wallet let's me...but I will definitely try these if/when I have to save some cash!!
Wow that works way better than I thought it would look! Good job!
Very creative!! You may have changed my mind on them now 🤣🤣
These look really good. I can’t wait to get my hands on some of these and incorporate parallel parking spots, protected bike lanes and tram tracks into them
I’ve just learned about the MILS system, and seeing how efficient these new road plates are for it makes me (and my wallet) happy for when I eventually start my own Lego city
Yes if you are new to Lego and Mills this is the most cost-effective way to do it
I like the new road plates and have a couple of packs. I’m also thinking of doing a MILS system too and like what you’ve done. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for providing this cost saving use of the new LEGO road system in a MILS plate city. I will probably try creating some of the new road MILS plate to see if I like as much as you do.
The power line design is so simple but awesome, great stuff
This is exactly what I was thinking to use them for! What a great job Daryl. Love this!
The roadplates looks quite good after being Bevinized. Bit more positive toward the new roadsystem after seeing you and several other experienced Lego builders saying nice things about them. I might actually make the access road from my train station to my harbor with this system once I get round to elevating my city so I can have my trains run in a loop underneath it.
Yeah Daryl!!! I love the bevinized version of the new road plates!! Good job!!😁😁
I like it and what you have done with it...nice work Daryl.thanks 👏
That cool mils road
Alright you convinced me to try it out. I always liked the MILS plates, but it was too expensive IMO, but this, this is 👌
That's a massive turnaround from your previous views of this set unseen. I agree with you about the little gap lines in the road and it's a shame that you can't get a sold line down the middle using those tiles with the stripe. But to get two MILS road plates from one set seems pretty good going to me. Seems like you're going to have a lot of spare tiles (but you can always use them for sidewalks and pedestrian areas).
thank you xx I think I will go with the need roads now and when I have the money I go bevin bricks style with mils x
Nice
Lego needs to come up with a corner version of the new road system
Very good info, as usual. Thanks!!
Nice, i didn't want to have to order all of those grey bricks to build a MILS road. This will be really helpful.
I like the regular road base plate for normal roads, but these mew ones would be great for bridges and raised freeway, highways
I love these road plates. Now after watching this I really can't wait to get some too bad they are sold out online I'll have to check some local stores. Thank you for a great review Daryl
Perfect review and I love what you did with yours.
Excellent
I knew these new road plates would be awesome!😍🙏🏼
Wow, this is great! Thank you for comparing and providing your feedback.
The only drawbacks I can see would be for actual street level customization. And what I mean by that is, you will not be able to add words such as slow or thru, white arrows, or even have a train track run through it like you do on that curve in your city. Speaking of curves, I assume that curved roads will be a thing of the past? Also, nice touches such as sewer caps, discolored cement, potholes, and as you mentioned the center lines, will not be able to be placed exactly where you want them because of the large "street" piece. That is a very minor issue because they can still be added, but you are limited to those 2x4 tile areas for customization. Otherwise, the fact that the new road plates can be incorporated into mils is just awesome. And it is an excellent $$$ saver too!
@@BevinsBricksWorld Haha well, you did a helluva job selling it! I think they are a great alternative.
Glad to see they are better than expected! Wish they are all one tile thought, the 2x4 tiles in the road aren’t terrible but they def are not as good as your other roads!
Wow, that looks fantastic inside a MILS system.
Nice !
That's the review I was waiting for....thanx a lot, you convinced me to use the new system for my MILS roads :)
@@BevinsBricksWorld Just ordered 5 sets....I nice start I would think ;-)
Really cool that you made it work for mils. Awesome that it is cheaper too. Thanks Daryl!👍
@@BevinsBricksWorld all good
i love me some shiny roads !
I think adding the lines on the outer edges really improves it - looks much smarter.
You've taken my initial plans to the next level.
Think I am going to get these road plates. May need to look at going MILS.
Looks good now we have a good use for them not another big piece to sit on the shelf that we can't use LOL
Wow , this actually looks very very good! Agree with you: they should have given the opportunity to make a solid line!
If it were to be a solid line you would have a 2 stud wide cut through the middle both horizontally and vertically.
Sure the line would look okay but the cross part would look weirder than the 2x4 cut outs already do.
@@BevinsBricksWorld - okay yeah I take that back.
Fill the line in one direction with the stripe(s), then the two cross sections with the corresponding 2xX plates in same road colour would be better.
But if the plate is 16x16 that would be 2x7 does that exist?
@@BevinsBricksWorld I may be completely wrong, but I thought the base plate the roads are built on are 16x16.
So in a hypothetical plate/tile where you can place a full straight line you would have a cut out of 16x2 in the middle both horizontally and vertically.
So if you were to fill the 16x2 vertically with your straight line, the horizontal would be split into two 2x7 wouldn’t it?
Although to be fair you would also have the awkward 1x4s all the way around, perhaps they would also be cut out to for a border.
In the case of a border, you could then tile the outside with 2x1 and put in the grate style piece for a gutter then you would only need 6x2 tiles.
Anyway the whole point was that the 2x4 cut outs filled with 2x4 tiles to match the road stick out like a sore thumb. Without full length pieces to the center line I think it would look worse. If you have full length pieces it should look better, as if the road was built in parts or patched.
The other part is how the new roads are now being included in sets, taking pieces away from the build or adding unnecessary cost.
On the new house with skate hockey driveway the spot where the car goes sits below the road as it isn’t tiled. Take away the road (I.e. make the 5+ kids use their imagination, would either allow the set to become more affordable or the build could have been made a bit better with additional parts at same cost.
Overall the mils plates where you have almost full control of the design are still the way to go in my opinion.
All that being said I am still very curious to see how LEGO will make a corner with this new style (or if they will just ignore it).
@@BevinsBricksWorld - it’s not over thinking, it is thinking it through.
The current plate, as is, has four 2x4 and eight 1x4 cut outs, all of which leave awkward gaps around each of the tiles you add in, whether they have lines on them or not.
Extending both the vertical and horizontal 2x4 cut outs to the edge of the plate to allow the line does not solve this issue completely, using the right sized tiles assuming they exist could eliminate the shorter 2 wide studs gaps that were at the 2 stud ends of each 2x4, which would be a massive improvement aesthetically, but it doesn’t address the 1x4 on the edges hence the border idea.
At the end of the day I realise why they are making the change to the roading system and/or creating these sets - they just look like a horrible downgrade in my opinion.
Nice! That cost savings will add up quick. Thanks for giving us these solutions.
This looks really good! I still need to decide what kind of roads I'm going to use in my city, and this certainly gives me inspiration. And also what you mention, it is cheaper than the brick-built roads ($25 for one plate contrary to $20 for two plates).
25 for 1 or 25 for 2, that's still quite a difference. Especially when I still need the roads set up.
They are cool
This is the way... 👍🏼
Hmmmm pretty interesting. Now that I see this it makes me want to get a few sets and see what I can do with the MILS plate system for my city.
On a mils plate it looks really nice! I couldn't tell the difference when you first showed it. I just realised that the old road plates are 18 studs wide and the new ones are only 2 studs skinnier. Nice video.
Ok, that was actually genius, and a very efficient way to use those.
😲 As a new Lego enthusiast, this looks interesting!! 👍🏼
I like the new plates. Could be good for more residential, and smaller streets.
Nice
Great Video,
I had the same idea when I bought the new 60306 from Lego City, to Build the new Road on a mils plate.
I will Made 2 Moc‘s out of the baker and the bike shop
Wow, great video and it really looks nice! As nice as your fully custom ones I must say! :O
You know what's funny? I still have my 1970s Lego road signs, all printed ;)
The modern clip-on system is better though, the old ones were single piece and prone to breaking.
Thats awesome that you have them. They had issues but were still good.
I like it
Hi Daryl,
Wow, that Bevinized mils version looks very great, especially the one with the parking lot on it 👌🏼
@@BevinsBricksWorld I could see this one being used by several people on the mils system. But I honestly must admit that they also fit in nicely on a conventional city like mine.
You can still use solid tiles for the stripes. They didnt paint them bright enough so i just went thru and painted a bunch with a yellow stripe.
Yes Love it!! 20$ is a bit better than 25$ you rock at solving
problems like LEGO problems and others too!! i mean yes
i do have my own way on how i am going to integrate the
NEW road plates in my city but overall this is a really great
solution for puting the New road plates in a city than the
old ones.
aleks k.
Great video! Please make a video showing how to build 😃
Awesome Daryl, I love this idea! I do believe you've convinced me to use your new Bevinized MILs plate. Daryl you should make it your offical slogan and put it on a T shirt "Nothin is as good until it's Bevinized" 👍👍Great video!
That's also a great slogan. 👍👍
That is awesome - Can you make a video on how you build it?
Probably saves a considerable amount of time this way as well, and of course time is money.
I’m making 1 for my city :D
Hey, awesome ideas! Do you have a video explaining how your system (or this new one using the new road plates) plugs into modular buildings? For me, the most important thing would be to have modulars part of the city.
@@BevinsBricksWorld thanks, found the video! so just drop the modular as it is (including its base plate) on top of a mils base plate, is that correct? wondering how the curb would look like.
I really like it. Also because its cheaper
Ok, now it makes sense
I wish the 2x4 and 1x4 tiles were more subtle
Maybe they will be making more version of the road system because a few sets come with a small version so maybe they will make one with a solid yellow line
@@BevinsBricksWorld but I did try buying the set in my home town but they sold out so I have to either wait or order online
Nice is the White Lines on the sieds...
Daryl, happy new year.
Can you make a video on the mils plate with the parking spot or spots? 😁
Thanks a lot.
@@BevinsBricksWorld, Daryl, can we make a MILS Plate intersection with a seven lane configuration? From what I saw in the seven lane tutorial it might be easier to integrate the parking spots on that version. Thanks in advance. (P.S: I hope I got your name right)
@@BevinsBricksWorld, looking forward to learn from you. I want to start with the mils plate soon. 😜
Only you can make the new road plates look like a good idea... 🙈 Darn, now I'm actually considering them. 😅 I mean, I can't use them where the tram tracks go but perhaps some side streets and the parking lot... 🤔
I could... but I want to keep the roads as narrow as possible to maximize the space for buildings because I don't have a lot of table space - that's also why I'm building a tram instead of a train - and because especially in the "old town" I want narrow cobblestone streets for the atmosphere. But in the newer part of town there'll be some room to actually use this. And as you showed it could save quite a lot of money in the process. 😁
They sell the solar panels in a polybag set.
also in ISS set :) you can get them cheap on bricklink :)
Thanks for showing it can be done, but wish you would have actually showed the build process of each.
Would you make a video on how you bevanized the road set, to see what are the extras. I was skeptical of buying any but I like what I see and for 20$ i think I might got for it.
Looks great especially for those that don't have a ton of spare parts to make a MILS system. With MILS do you have to raise the modular buildings so that they are higher than the road? One of the complaints I see the most about the new road plates is that the curb would be higher than the modular buildings when built on the supplied base plates but wouldn't the MILS system have this same problem?
This is great. The plates are a good replacement for the bricks you would otherwise need to get for the road. Would the ramps still connect to a regular base plate?
looks good..we would need a curved new road plate though? How did u do the telephone wires??
Great video as always. Could you maybe share, where can we get similar city background print, that you have set up behind? Thank You
@@BevinsBricksWorld Thanks, I order 220cmx150cm from Aliexpress $15 with shipping. They have the exact one different sizes available. Search for Superhero City Building Super Hero Baby Shower .
Would you the instructions to turn the new road system into mils by chance I absolutely love it
There was actually a time where they had printed signs before. I think it was up til the 80s or early/mid 90s
what im annoyed about is how much more money its gonna take to do it now
These road plates are sweet. How do you attach the road plates though? Just from the bottom to a baseplate? I see your row of solid grey you ran between the while lines on the sides and the road plate but is it just attached by headlamps on the opposite side? The road plate sides themselves are smooth so are they just being attached from the bottom and the side grey row pieces are being held tight by headlamps?
Bevin, have a big question. I'm attempting to do a 32x32 MILLS setup but with the new road plate set. For the pieces placed on the bottom plate, how is it different from the regular MILLS setup? How many 2x2 square pieces, how many 3x2 rectangle pieces and what kind of pieces do you have underneath the new road plate? Thanks.
I don’t think we will use them much. They sit too high when using a non-MILS road plate system. Maybe for new MOCs they can be driveways or something. Plus, they just don’t fit the 8 wide Speed Champion cars without doubling them up or extending them one way or another with many parts. At least the current road plate and even your existing MILs roads can fit the 8 wide if necessary.
