- The new Shmew Tower is done, but I thought it would be fun to take you on the ride of all the steps I take in creating a MOC. This one was a bit unique and certainly had its challenges. I hope you enjoy the video and please let me know what you think of the new tower?

For one of the floors you should do it filled with things your brother enjoyed doing while you guys were growing up. Just another way to remember him in the tower now that you are able to give it an interior.
This is a fantastic idea. Thank you!
Really Awesome Alex, Josh, & Jimmy. Can't wait for you to do the floors with tiles,desks,kitchen,bathroom,etc... plus the Elevator as well ...
I love the design for version three of the Shmew tower, can't wait to see it fully furnished in the future as well. Also it's great to see that your two boys are enjoying the Lego hobby just as much as you are.
I really like the added texture with using those dark blueish gray crate/box pieces instead of just plain bricks.
I was lucky, those were in a PAB bin one day and I thought they would add some good texture. However they have no clutch, which makes the build a little weak.
That is.... amazing! Great work Alex and company! It's absolutely dominating!
That smashing, other angle smashing, slow-mo smashing and rewind smashing section was really satisfying to watch
Taking hours to build and then destroying it in one go. And you feel satisfied? That's weird.
Looks absolutely amazing and I cannot believe how old your kids are looking
Thanks! My kids need to stop growing. It's crazy!
@@alexnunes jimmy looks just like Josh back in 2014 or so with the old train crash videos.
The new tower looks awesome! Very impressive.
Maybe your family can design the interiors.
It was cool seeing the process of building it.
Great job
Great job with the tutorial and Shmew tower is a great example. Looking forward to the interiors 😊
It won't be on your high level, but I will do my best.
@@alexnunes I’m sure you’ll do well! 😊👍
Really awesome build, and cool that it is so tall, almost as tall as Jimmy. Look forward to see how you build the elevator and what it will look like once everything is done around it. Hope your trains have room to pass, looked like the building was pretty close to the railroad tracks.
You have done an awesome job on this MOC. Looking forward to some internal features. Keep Brickin.
That's a cool tribute to your brother, Alex. Good on you!
Great job on the tower. It is a real eye catching statement piece for your city. I also like how you went through your process of obtaining the pieces.
Awesome! Great building, LOVE IT!
I love the improvised ideas you guys have used to overcome setbacks, genuinely very inspirational 👍
That is fantastic build, love it
That is incredible! Great work guys. Are you going to add some interior detail to it?
Yes, interior is coming soon.
Really love the tribute to your brother. Like another comment I saw, should also dedicate a floor to some of the things y’all like doing together growing up. Really cool build
Nicely done! Love how you involve your boys.
Looks fantastic the city is coming out great enjoy guys
Awesome! it perfectly fits in your city
If you antennas you could clamp it to the tower or make and antenna tower. I love the building it’s absolutely amazing a huge stand out and much better then the last two.
Wow AMAZING...👌
Looks great!
The new tower looks great!
Looks amazing. Great job Alex, Josh qnd Jimmy!
Congratulations! It looks amazing.
WOW the first thing in my mind impressive, Absolutely. For shure it takes attention. I'll hope there is a plan for some inside decoration. It would be nice to see some minifigure live in it. But all in all well done family collaboration
Thanks, I think I will end up adding businesses as well as residence.
impressive building placement with the triangle plates on the sides
looks rather similar to the hotel obsidian
looks fantastic, schmew would be proud!
Oh man, the kids are so big now! 😯
Love the building and the dedication! Any chance you could do another video talking about scale? I can never figure out how high to make each level. For houses or skyscrapers!
I think I can do that. Thanks!
@@alexnunes thank you sir! My Fiance and I want to remodel a house. So I thought it would be fun to build a LEGO Moc of the house. Then I started trying to do it and its HARD! lol
Can’t wait to see what the floors end up being.
Wow. SHMEW the highest building in the city :) Awesome video!
Cool tower! You should build full interior and put some minifigs in it to, maybe light it as well it will look awesome :D
Look so amezing
Some lighting would be a nice effect. The outside lights, interior floors and the top building sign.
This should get 2 thumbs up. One for the process of designing and preparing and one for building and displaying.
For the next one of this I think you should make it bigger so that you can add more buildings and skyscrapers that can not touch the ceiling like Shmew tower.
Its look amazing :) great video man :)
It still looks like a train might hit the corner of this huge, gigantic building Alex
Possibly, I actually haven't tested it yet. I do have some give at the front though. Thanks!
Great video Alex
I can see the shape of the office set in the building!!
haha, yes!
haha, I use Excel for city layout but not for designing the actual building! lol FYI: the Studio program is fairly intuitive if you have any CAD experience and want to try it out. I also prefer trial-and-error building, but my extra piece collection is super small, so I resort to digital with MOCs (I do trial-and-error for alt builds tho).
Awesome, thanks. I'll likely be using it in the future.
I hope you guys pulled a permit from the city to demolish that building Mr.!
Amazing! What a skyscraper! Now looking forward to the elevator and interior. Another way to go about with Mocs (maybe not this size but general buildings) is designing and ordering floor by floor interior and exterior. It prolongs the entire building process and allows süening more as you invest a little bit in it each month and keeps the fun going over a couple of months (at least that works well for me). But it is a good feeling knowing an experienced Lego Moc builder like you notices in the midst of a build that you miscalculated parts. Happpens to me all the time. 😂
Great suggestion for sure. I am going to take a nice slow approach to make sure I am doing a good job on each floor, but I am a very impatient person. haha! Thanks!
@@alexnunes Impatience is completely unfamiliar to me 🤥😂
Wow, outstanding build, Alex, and your son was a huge help! Quick question, do you have a video showcasing the building 2 sites to the right? The tall one with the flower boxes? I'd love to see more of how you built that one. Thanks!
Thanks! The building you are referring to is the Sit Complex. I have a playlist for it as it is a series a videos. ruclips.net/video/G2L9OpPkON8/видео.html
Nice
Great layout! New subscriber here. I look forward to getting tips from you in building my own city.
Thanks for subscribing. I hope you can get some great ideas. Good luck on your city!
@@alexnunes thank you!
its becoming like new york city with these tall buildings
DUDE!
Awesome tower! Are you planning on doing anything for the interior?
Yes, I will add a full interior!
3 days later. Lol. It’s a beast. Time to jack up the sitcomplex
💪💯
I'm having window envy again. :P I think I've got like 2 of those 1x2x5 trans-blue parts. I've been building for 20 years, and only just now made my first building with a full set of matching windows that looks like a normal building, and that's only 3 floors tall, and with windows on just one side.
I've also found that when I'm making a building, I have to do the interior details for each floor/room as I go, or I'll never get around to it.
I really like the new building design though, very cool! And having it at an angle like that.. Is there no way to actually secure it to the ground? Maybe using a few of those 2x2 spinner plates? Remember that a baseplate sitting on top of bare studs is the same exact height as a plate!
I’m gonna have to steal your technique using the 2x2 triangle tiles for diagonal buildings
I also have used excel, what size are using for you column width and row height?
This looks like a villain building
Hmm, I guess it does. Mwah hah haaa!
Where did you get the city road baseplates
1:12 what are those minivan taxis what are these sets?
Pls let me know if you'd be interested in selling your design/parts/bldng steps - looks like you put a lot of time into it! Looks great.
How do you dust the amazing city and the mini figs all over and hard to reach places
It's not easy, but I use a small vacuum, a duster and small paint brushes.
where do you order these pieces
Next time, cover the vent on your floor as you don’t want pieces get down there.
Excel spreadsheet?! Oh my. The studio is soooo much easier and it will make your life so much better when it comes to building. You will have far less mistakes as well.
You say you don't want to sit in front of a computer because you do that for work all day. What is the difference sitting in from of Sudio and Excel spreadsheet? They are both on the computer.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
When i win the lottery i will only play with lego😂
But now i need to start on playing on the lottery
But after building everything taking so much trouble, you just willingly destroy it. Does it make sense?
What type of bricks are used for grey columns/walls on floors 2-12? Those with a "groove" (see 9:00 for example). What is its part number?
Go to bricklink and search part #61780. You should see it.
@@alexnunes Thanks Alex! I would never have thought it is the good old lego container 😅
@@alexnunes Alex and is it dark grey or light grey? It looks light grey but then, there are no original LEGO light grey 2x2x2 boxes, just dark ones.
@@james789c Mine are dark grey. I actually don't recall ever seeing one in light grey now that you mention it. Just green, brown and dark grey in my experience.
@@alexnunes Yes according to Bricklink they don't exist. So the walls are dark grey and the plates are light grey? Or the whole skyscraper is dark grey? Why does it look light grey on the video? 😯
Step 1:have a lot of bricks
Step 2:profit
Love your videos but please no more 24fps ones! Painful to watch on a big TV.
Hi Alex, it’s me how are you are you okay? How are you? My name is Hannah and I love your Lego City okay
one earthquake and he done for
Imagine an earthquake lol.
Noooooooo!!!!
Hi Alix oh. No dident get the amount U first counted on the Gray pannle and dident right down on the computer amount s list for the Gray pannle s that is alot U mist out on .and the blue window pannle s $1 .25 each one dam but then just added other window pannle s than wight. Then did number panel to have more Gray pannle.s Great thort..glad U ended up finding a saler that had the blue pannle s but had to go back on the build to add them. Just show how Keene you was to build it. Man 👍 what a whopping build the program thing is Kool .cas if building a moc ..free style. Then .would have to try find out every part youse plus how the parts are for the build then try do the design on computer. But would be taking the moc apart in reverse then build it a 2nd time. Could be very confusing. . .so great to do program design of the build first other wise no idea how places ever part.... .great build man great job you's got their in the end plus yar altering the part for the lift button s and freestyling the lift build. .nice U named it after one of yar brother who part on ..nice one Alix. 👍......I started a big moc build end of last year and started building it on-top of a big box a tv came in and as I was in a caravan cas my pop s got I'll in 3 last lock down was sad he got Ammonia and died 6 so weeks back..🥲... .then nan got taken away and put in same old foc place pop was put in ...so thay house had to be sold and I had to pack up my first Lego City put most of it in storidge an live in my 2 nd cuzzn back yard in pop s caravan. but had my extra Lego part s any way s so at end of my bed and box was balancing on table and top .back panel behind setting part. that goes around the table I had the big moc I started..munths of hard work an one Orly morning .like 4 in morning I must of knock it with my feet and it all came crashing to the ground slowly .I was like damm dam dam got up outta bed look at my big moc nerly crying trying to not cry 😆 and tryed to put all the build back onto the big. Box. Then munth on one re building it from next day. It drop ...I had to move again and it had to go in back of the car to place I moved to now got it at end of my bed and the box on-top of two tub s. Added so much more to the build. And details. Then other day I tryed to put a big flattened box under the build on-top of the box. Cas inside the box ain't much support..and as I was sliding box under it. the build decided to come apart on me 🤩 ..now I so wish I had skill s to you's the program U youse.. .and silly I added detail to the landscaping in side it and it look s amazing. And now I have rebuilt part that came apart. Now I'm thinking I need to add. More. Plate to the floor 🤩..I put two Lego plate under it. The I'm like. Dam. I can not attache.brick to under the base plate s silly me. But. Lucky I have left one row of studs all around out side of the build. To attach to if have more brick going down below the build ...now to make Shaw I add more little plate that can attach under neeth .but have to probly take same of the land scape out. Silly me for adding it before making Shaw the .floor is strong. .talk about fixing mistake s lol 😂 trial an error...but my build is looking rad ..😊👍.. let's hope after all this. It not fall apart again on me. ..one moveing it of the box. Cas I have to add 4 long leg s on each corners ...I dident whant to you's Woden bord nor glue ...just Lego only ...wish me luck. On strengthening it up.., I need a few plates. Add lot more brick to add to back an frunt and sides. Asap. It's 5 an half foot long or 6 foot.long and will be about 3 half foot Hight at frunt and 7 .to 8 foot at back leg s at bottom 4 half foot. The next stage will be doing the top part of the build. Lots of brick s motor s to add under it for moveing part s Technic parts to add an lighting. The side pannle and screen frame and digital score bord speaker for sound s an lit up grafic screen.... The build if you not fingers it out. If thinking lol 😂 what heek is he building🤔🤩👍 .its is a nerly full size custom Ninjago Lego pin ball machine.😲. I got the clicker s made to pop in and out and the flipper s made...I'm guessing I whant have it fully built fear few munths into next year but it's a big challenge I have set my salf to do....🙂 That's for Shaw.
