- Have you heard about MILS plates but aren't sure what they are or whether you should be using them in your builds? In this video, we are talking about what a MILS plate is, all the benefits and draw backs to MILS plates, and show you how to build them!
I would love to share my Lego adventure with you! Hello, I am the Brick Scavenger and I am a Stay at Home Dad and a Lego Lover! I have a big Lego city in my basement, a large minifigure collection, and I try to fund the habit by selling my extra Lego minifigures on WhatNot. I have decided to create this Lego Vlog to document my adventures and share with anyone interested how I spend my days. I split time between building my own city and prepping for WhatNot shows. Feel free to join me on my adventure and I'd appreciate any feedback on my city as I will be asking questions throughout my videos on what you like and don't like about my various designs and displays.
If you're looking for a fun Lego buying experience, join me on the new app called WhatNot where you can find adult Lego friends, buy sets and minifigures, and just have an overall good time! I can get you $10 off your first order with the promo code below!

I feel that, unless you intend to take pieces of your Lego city to a convention or some other activity, where you need to connect to other people’s Lego, I really think it’s a huge waste of money. I am retired and built a Lego City as a retirement project. I don’t hunt, fish, hike, bike, snowmobile, 4 wheel, etc. , but I did love putting Lego together with my youngest son. So it’s a bit of nostalgia, but also a whole lot of fun. I’ve been building for 7 years now and I have all of the Modular’s, plus even more MOC’s. I have 3 trains, a harbour with many boats, a residential area and a large Medieval Castle MOC and a village, plus several shelving units with many other Lego creations.
I noticed you mentioned that a lot of your Modulars are not on Mils plates, I’m sure that would be a huge pain to accomplish, I certainly wouldn’t want to do it.😛
The other thing that surprised me was using the 48x48’s for Mils?…. Not sure how they work in a city setting, where Modular’s, roads and sidewalks all exist?
Such a helpful video for a beginner builder like I am. Learned a lot about MILS. Thank you.
Oh no….. I feel a giant city build coming in my near future
Haha! Slippery slope!!
I'm building the UCS Cantina right now and I'm looking forward to making my Mos Eisley based moc.
How do you convert your buildings to a MIL structure?
Aaron that was awesome. I am definitely in the build and display category. For example, I have built the lighthouse, and I will move that from time to time for various reasons. Question….the lighthouse stands alone, If I MILS plate it is there a way to hide the sandwich bricks?
I think the best plan there would be to completely fill in that one side with bricks. That way you don’t see gaps. And if you match the baseplate, brick, and plate colors, it would just look like a monochrome brick and be very nice. Does that make sense?
@@brickscavenger it sure does. Thank you!
@@brickscavengerI tried that method with light bluish grey and it does looks good with a moc
Awesome, Ben!@@ben_nerf_lego
