Everything is on point in this video, well done! The Audi MOC looks great! I also have to notice that sometimes 6 studs are not enough for advanced detalization, so I build 7 studs wide cars.
These tips are good tips but also things like proportions and shaping is some of the most important factors of a car. For that car to look like that car. And using more complex and different pieces can offer more detail and shaping. Adding onto this using different tires besides the city wheels for sport cars like the speed champion ones would offer a more low profile and sleek look to the model. Also using different fenders to give a car a more modern or classic look can add a lot.
Tip: look at “how to draw cars” books or online tutorials. It’ll help with spacing between front and back wheels, 2 or 3 box designs and offer some inspiration for rear, front and side detail work. 👌
I'll always prefer 6 studs wide, 8 studs are simply too big in my opinion, you can put a lot of detail yes, but the cars will be simply too big for minifigs I think, 6 studs is the best balance between scale and detail
Personally disagree on the 4 wide and preformed chassis comments, I've made some of my favorite car mocs by constricting myself to those chassis and small size, it forced me to think of other elements more creatively. The preformed chassis also allow minifigs to sit lower than what is possible with plates so that full figs can fit in without the car scraping the ground.
I have decided to take the plunge and try my hand at city building, thanks for the inspiration and information. I enjoy your channel immensely. I've just begun my city building journey, and I am struggling to justify 6-wide at the moment. The scale looks odd in context of what few roads and buildings I have. 4-wide allows me to add density of units and flow of movement at eye level without drowning out detail of surrounding scenes. I must admit, the "minimalist-cutesy" aesthetic that 4-wide lends itself to has grown on me. The lower brick count of my 4-wides is also helpful as I slowly accumulate more into my collection. At least those are my justifications.
1:25 Actually on the bottom, they have these little holes that you can stick axle pins through so they’re not stuck in there and so it’s easier to get off😊😊😊
I will never build a car that cannot fit a whole minifigure. That is a personal limitation that I have set on myself because I am a weirdo that is more concerned with building a functional world then with details alone. Everything else in this video is really solid advice. If I may add another point, not really a technique but more so a mindset, but when looking for inspiration for building a Lego car, only rarely look at other people's cars. When looking for inspiration, look at totally unrelated builds like modern space ships or natural builds like animals or large human figures as those builds tend to have a larger focus on interesting curves and connections, then apply that knowledge to your car builds. I actually got inspired to finish a build of a Ferrari Dino 206 GT by looking at somebody's build of a pufferfish. Inspiration for individual techniques rarely come from pouring over people's interpretations of similar builds.
i make speed champions sized cars (8 wide) and you can fit way more detail so i recommend sometime you try making 8 stud wide cars, also the base plate for 8 stud wide speed champions is actually good
I remember "Escape From Privet Drive" came with a six-wide car. My solution to make two people fit was to have all of their arms forward... not sure why it worked, but it did!
I prefer 6× cars for my city, jumpers and plates make it easy enough to fit 2 ppl per car. Just finished an awesome supercar/cyberpunk stule car. No problem fitting 2 figs inside
Sometimes it is easier to put 2 minifigs together if you lean one of them slightly forwards and the other backwards. Great vehicles - I will copy TD's building technique!
Unpopular opinion here, but I somehow like 5 studs wide lego car models. That means that the 2x2 plates modified, which are responsible to connect the wheels, are attached using two jumper plates each and I like to use inverted brackets in the center to add more details to the sides/to the doors. It is always a fun challenge, the models are nice to display and I do not care about minifigure compatibility. Still a great video if I consider building something suiting to a City/to minifigures.
I kinda used the trick of modifying cars before watching this video I lowered the suspension of a monster truck Made a pickup look more buff And turned a police car into a street racer car or smt
I need to build four stud wide cars because I made a four stud wide Lego train , but it's not that bad you can still put a decent amount of detail on four stud wide cars
Yeah, six stud width cars are the right way. I always design all my vehicles in six stud width, except truck and bus. Welcome to check out mine on my channel.
Very well, but: I have a sentiment to old 4 studs wide cars When cars are on a road they don't take up that much space, so you should still make the roads bigger Most of your cars are unplayable for children because you kill the minifigures in order to put them on your moc. You're like a darker version of Lord Business. But it's your moc and I would never be able to be better at building than you. And lastly. If you can't get that piece out of there, why did you put it in?
Love this video! That road with the incline for the cars to go down is so sick!
Yooo thanks man!
Hello TD
Hi TD
Hey TD when’s this year’s MOC contest. I made a MOC last year for it but couldn’t submit it in time so I’ve been rly excited abt this year!!
Yo spicyyyyy
Could you hide the wrong car in the City?
Yea pls?
done :D
So lets see if we can find it 🤣👍
@@Brick_Crafts how much did the whole city cost?
@@AngelHernandez-xy8pd lots
Everything is on point in this video, well done! The Audi MOC looks great!

It looks like its a chinese knockoff
Very entertaining video! Cars seem pretty hard even at their generally small scale. The proportions were always tricky for me to get right.
3:03 I love that car design!

The pieces created by lego are actually quite fun to be honest
Yay finally! I was waiting for this video for so long.
Tip: look at “how to draw cars” books or online tutorials. It’ll help with spacing between front and back wheels, 2 or 3 box designs and offer some inspiration for rear, front and side detail work. 👌
Im a master at drawing 3D cars😏✏️

Nah I like 8 stud
8 stud allows not sports or van cars
8 studs would be good for a hummer

Ahh cool! But still, until someone put some plate like 2x2 with no purpose, it will be over.
awesome cars they look amazing
All those poor traumatized figures, seeing a driving head
as a creator who makes LEGO cars, I made these mistakes sooooo much, so thanks for touching base on it!
1:36 u can push it out whit something skiny like a pole underneath
The black classic car looks so cool!
Bro level 1 in the thumbnail looking better then any car I could build in Lego from imagination

Time to build Lego cars 😁
Thx, for the Tipps and Tricks 👍
This helps Most of the Car builders.
Nice! Thanks!
Die G-Klasse ist richtig top gemacht! Weiter so 👍
I created my own SUV by some of these techniques, pretty good
I’d say cars are my biggest weakness as a builder, thank you
All very useful tips 👍🏽
I used once the minifigure head as a passenger in the backseat
Cool dude!! Bro you can build anything!!
How to build lego car:
Step 1: frame
Step 2: add wheels
Step 3: profit
i make speed champions sized cars (8 wide) and you can fit way more detail so i recommend sometime you try making 8 stud wide cars, also the base plate for 8 stud wide speed champions is actually good
Yeah
The video was very nice, Your video style reminded me a litle bit of Tiago Cataroni
everything aged in this video, by I still love it
A car has mental breakdown in lego city. Start with new rescue tow truck. Hey!!
Can you please do a tutorial on how to make the white car please
Insane city! Cool cars too!
He shows the bad car. My thinking "That looks better than my cars".
Great video, great tips.
Though, the thumbnail did make believe I was going to watch a video from TD Bricks.
1:30 ahahahahaha been there done that 😂😂😂😂 I guess I will never get it out 😂😂😂😂
Beautiful!
This is so useful since I’m trash at building cars!
please upload an instruction for this g-class, its amazing
My car was the first picture when I built my first but now I built car porsche when I looked at this video (and got experience with lego) good video 👍
I remember "Escape From Privet Drive" came with a six-wide car. My solution to make two people fit was to have all of their arms forward... not sure why it worked, but it did!
Makes me want to revisit some old Lego sets
It's really cool tips!
looks like someone publishes their videos like me also in 2am :D nice tutorial, I like those illegal techniques, that hood is awesome :)
Really nice advices, but moving on to serious thing.... How did you make the inclined road so PERFECTLY, it's wonderful, pls teach me
fr
Good job👍
I prefer 6× cars for my city, jumpers and plates make it easy enough to fit 2 ppl per car. Just finished an awesome supercar/cyberpunk stule car. No problem fitting 2 figs inside
A man has been vaporized in Lego city
Good video it help me make a car
lego city was a peaceful place, until its citizens discovered they couldnt steer their cars while driving down a hill at high speed...
and of course g-wagen crashes first, blockin road to others, resulting in mass crash. thats just tradition of this beautyful kind of workshops cx
Thank you😁👍👍👍
2:46 i feel personally attacked
2:47 jangbricks ahh car💀
This video was indeed entertaining.
Excellent video!
Sometimes it is easier to put 2 minifigs together if you lean one of them slightly forwards and the other backwards. Great vehicles - I will copy TD's building technique!

I love your vids
these are some good tips thanks for sharing
As always amazing and instructive video 😍
Why do these Lego cars look cooler than the actual cars they were based off of?
Fun fact I did not know that you had a second channel lmao
it helped me thx
thanks for helping me!
Brilliant VIdeo. Some excellent advice. Cheers
You Have Alot Lego Your Videos Are Really Awesome And Mind blowing Let's Just Appreciate The Fact These Videos Are Too High Budget
RIP Car at the start 😭
G wagon❌
Lego G wagon Free✅
everything looks so slick nice job
What a brilliant video! Thank 👊
Bro i thought ur r8 was a chiron and it looks amazing
Good job in the vid
would be amazing to see some longer vids of your building.. 30 mins + :)
Lol, funny! Great cars also 👌🏾
I kinda used the trick of modifying cars before watching this video
I lowered the suspension of a monster truck
Made a pickup look more buff
And turned a police car into a street racer car or smt
Thanks for that great ideas! :)
I need to build four stud wide cars because I made a four stud wide Lego train , but it's not that bad you can still put a decent amount of detail on four stud wide cars
Good video thanks
Bob Brickman?
Yessir the my fav car is there the Audi to etron
Road to 100k subs 😂😂
so cool so cool so cool so cool so cool so cool
If there was a basic skeleton that you could turn into any type of car what would that skeleton be?
How can I get the kit to build those cars???
1:08 i need that glass for my car
Yeah, six stud width cars are the right way. I always design all my vehicles in six stud width, except truck and bus. Welcome to check out mine on my channel.
Lego 2K Drive is out!! We NEED these builds! Instructions please.
Nice G-Wagen!
I would build all of those cars if i had the pieces because i never have enough lego to do something like this.
Bro build them 8 wide they look cool but you they say the flat rocks get skipped
The point of video:Buy new Lego Speed Champions
Great video
Could you do a tutorial of the g wagen
Very well, but:
I have a sentiment to old 4 studs wide cars
When cars are on a road they don't take up that much space, so you should still make the roads bigger
Most of your cars are unplayable for children because you kill the minifigures in order to put them on your moc. You're like a darker version of Lord Business.
But it's your moc and I would never be able to be better at building than you.
And lastly. If you can't get that piece out of there, why did you put it in?
Make a swat car or a military tank
