These MILS plates make the city feel more life like instead of the roads and sidewalks being flat and just there. I hope it all comes together when you put in the light fixtures, lamp posts and other things you had before converting to MILS.
Pretty cool design for the new mils system. At first the new road plates got alot of bad feedback but I think their great, and the city is gonna look 10x better! Also their pretty good for converting to mils.
The look of the new road plates really grew on me. They look way more elegant and sleek. MILS is a fun system that gives you a lot of options. The pieces you need though...
It is truly the beginning of the MILS era! Can't wait to see the end result, when all building and roads are converted, plus details! Keep up the good wotk and I would love to see more videos of these plates being made and placed
the MILS are such a great building technique, well done Bricksie! it really does make the lego city alot more realistic. it makes it looks alot better, too!
I like how you make the drains, that is absolutely a plus for the MILS system that you can do that. Also like that you put a grille on top as well so water can pour down from the sidewalks as well as the roads. I think you have a good solution for the turns, but still they look a little weird but I think it is the best way to do it when using MILS plates. Thanks for the step-by-step.
I think something that could improve the city better is to not have everything flat, to give it more of a natural look, and adding maybe mountains to have a more detailed look.
I think there is one tweak needed. You used illegal building technique attaching line&widening assembly with technic bricks, using 1×1 headlight bricks (partnum 4070) seems like a proper way to do it. Considering that mils roadplates will stay assembled for long periods of time that could be a pretty serious flaw I believe
I did something like this for a helicopter(Black widow set) landing pad. I really like the new road plates. Chubby uses them to build mech bays. Cool stuff.
I love the way your recent timelapses have looked!! I'm not sure if youve been doing anythihng differently, but they almost look like stop-motion (which is very fitting for LEGO)!
Your MILS plate approach is great. Mine are similar with the addition of a bike path on both sides of the road. We want to promote a low carbon footprint in our city.
excellent skills building class - did u meantion drop curbs and the parking bays im guessing that there are many differences from uk street curbs etc compared to driveways etc where u are any advice or helpful build tips would be appreciated - im hunting thru to find possibe methods
Hi Bricksie, I wonder how you plan on marrying the light gray sidewalk of your MILS roads to the dark gray sidewalks of your modulars. Will you leave them as 2 different grays or will you convert all your modular sidewalks to matching light gray?
Would be cool if we could get a parts list, i'm trying to gather how many pieces are needed for a single MILS so i can do a parts order, but having a hard time. Bricksie can you help us please, thanks friend!
Could you potentially try a transparent 1x6 plate under the rain water grate? So you could see under to the other drain? These new plates look like a huge step up in looks compared to the old ones.
Hello Jordan 🙂. Happy Valentine's 🍭 Day to you and Josiee plus furry friends!! 😊 What do you think about the new Road Plates you have to build?? Seems a little complex.
Sounds like you do need to be creative to make road plates for certain buildings like you were mentioning, but those road places allow for that it seems.
I've mentionned it before but... price the 16x16 road plates on Bricklink and all the tiles needed on PAB... and you"ll find the purchase of road plate set is redundant and much more expensive than making your own kit, especially with the size of your city.
My thoughts coming from the point of view of a civil designer is that the bricks outside of the white paint line should be light grey to represent the concrete curb & gutter and next to the curb I would but a green landscape strip between the sidewalk and curb.
Looks great placed in the city, I'm just wondering what is the size of the Starlite drawers you have, I was doing some part sorting with my extra pieces stash and parted out a star wars set I bought the other day mainly for the figs (the main build was just Darth muals throne thing). I have a master craft stand up drawers and one Starlite drawer but I was looking at it and then seeing a drawer on your table in the time lapse yours looks bigger.
Hi Jordan, thank you for sharing the methods of building this MILS road plate. It looks so cool! However I am not sure about connecting a 1x2 technic brick and a 1x2 plate. Do they fit well or too tired? I am concerned that the 1x2 plate might stress the holes of 1x2 technic brick too much. Could you please let me know your thoughts? Thanks.
I think this is an "illegal" building technique. I was watching another video and you can put something in 1 of the holes but a plate across two holes doesn't quite line up right and could damage the pieces over time. That being said there are many lego pieces that could achieve the same or similar effect
Remember that you can conserve some of your 1x4 tiles when you start connecting the road sections - (and just use 2x4 on the end pieces to connect/lock in your road sections.
I feel like in the turns and interactions you don't need the center white lines? Would be cleaner if the intersections (that had cross walks) and turns were just all grey and had no white lines in them. Otherwise, this has been really fun to watch as you upgrade the city!!
I have noticed many times that you are an Oilers fan. What do you think about Jesse ”the bison king” puljujärvi? Love your videos and the city upgrades so far. Keep on the good work! 💪🏻 Greetings from finland. 😊
Hi
I am struggling to understand which parts I need on the side to make the mill plates
Could you make a list of specifics
These MILS plates make the city feel more life like instead of the roads and sidewalks being flat and just there. I hope it all comes together when you put in the light fixtures, lamp posts and other things you had before converting to MILS.
Accept for the part of them being smooth and shiny. They could mold them without a shiny surface.
@@RW-zh7kl Try get a fine sanding paper a higher number and try softly sanding it.
Can you share part list for making the road wider? Thank you!
Yes please new to this and would love that

This is extremly cool but I am trying to find out where the instructions are on the turning MILS. But keep up the great work!
It is truly the beginning of the MILS era! Can't wait to see the end result, when all building and roads are converted, plus details! Keep up the good wotk and I would love to see more videos of these plates being made and placed
Bricksie, try using the 8x4 sloped pieces that come with the road plates as driveways. Good use for those parts 👍
Will these roads accommodate the 8 stud wide speed champion cars?
I started on my first modular yesterday (Bookshop) and built a MILS for the base. It's SO solid and stable! Thanks, Bricksie!
Hey Bricksie this videos about the rebuiding of the LEGO City are the best in the channel! Great project!
the MILS are such a great building technique, well done Bricksie! it really does make the lego city alot more realistic. it makes it looks alot better, too!

Looks fantastic. I can see how cities become addictive (and expensive!). Looking forward to the next update!
Great video. have to appreciate the time going into these plates. Will looking amazing though once all done.
I will definitely be using those in my city it looks so good!!
Bricksie is a master BUILDER
your my fav lego youtuber
Those are amazing
It's looking great bro!!! The city is poppin'!!
I love these new road plates!!
Thanks for sharing the build process!
I think something that could improve the city better is to not have everything flat, to give it more of a natural look, and adding maybe mountains to have a more detailed look.
Thanks Jordan , have got stuck with part of my city so this is a great idea

I challenge you bricksie to Zone Out your Lego city like the building/zoning department. Lol love the new mills.
awesome video jordan the mils plates look amazing in the lego city
Man the Lego City has changed so much in 1 year! 🎉
Hi everyone, how long are the white plates for the road extension part ?
Looks great. City has grown so much since I subscribed 2 years ago!
im literally so exited for this!
They really do look a lot better.
I love the MILS content. It's a fun project I hope to do myself one day. Thanks for the great videos!
I did something like this for a helicopter(Black widow set) landing pad. I really like the new road plates. Chubby uses them to build mech bays. Cool stuff.
Looks pretty cool
How do you make the white lines?
I love the way your recent timelapses have looked!! I'm not sure if youve been doing anythihng differently, but they almost look like stop-motion (which is very fitting for LEGO)!
I’m in the middle of converting to MILS also and so far I absolutely love it!
Watching my favorite hockey team is painfull these days. GO HABS GO😭😭😭
Sick video bro!
Hmm that will definitely help me figure out what do do with those new Road plates I have in a box
You are super great on tutorials, you should do more!
This video is awesome and beyond helpful - thanks! Does anyone know if there is a part list for this design?
Wow
Thank you very much for this review. 🤩👏Because of it l could to build unbeliev Lego city.🥰🤟
Happy valentine's day
Your MILS plate approach is great. Mine are similar with the addition of a bike path on both sides of the road. We want to promote a low carbon footprint in our city.
Love your videos 👍
I'd love to see a video on making the curved road piece. I couldn't find anything on rebrickable as clean as yours.
You can also make a parking lot or something on the baseplate that is in front of the town hall! (sorry for my bad English)
BRCICKSIE GUESS WHAT! I GOT BOUTIQUE HOTEL
they do look amazging and im selling my old road plates after watching your video as you can also run led wire for buildings or street lamps
Miils look more compact and much realistic 😊😊
This video is really helping me decide how to redo my city. Now I just need a better budget
Great work love these vids. Keep then coming pls❤
Also can u make another vid on the zoo soon? Elliot
excellent skills building class - did u meantion drop curbs and the parking bays
im guessing that there are many differences from uk street curbs etc compared to driveways etc where u are
any advice or helpful build tips would be appreciated - im hunting thru to find possibe methods

You make great vids bricksie!!!
you should look into the MOC the flower around the corner by knob van brick for next to the town hall it’s a corner modular on a 16x32
a question brother what are the measurements of the base that goes to the bottom?
Could you potentially try a transparent 1x6 plate under the rain water grate? So you could see under to the other drain? These new plates look like a huge step up in looks compared to the old ones.
Love seeing the Blackhawks beat the 2 best players in the world Connor and Leon

Hello Jordan 🙂. Happy Valentine's 🍭 Day to you and Josiee plus furry friends!! 😊 What do you think about the new Road Plates you have to build?? Seems a little complex.
Thank you, Happy Valentine's Day to you! It took a while to get used to the new roads, but we're really enjoying the upgrade!
great video
Sounds like you do need to be creative to make road plates for certain buildings like you were mentioning, but those road places allow for that it seems.
Hello Jordan 😄
I got a question i want to build a full scale lego city some day would this road system work for doing that
I've mentionned it before but... price the 16x16 road plates on Bricklink and all the tiles needed on PAB... and you"ll find the purchase of road plate set is redundant and much more expensive than making your own kit, especially with the size of your city.

I have a master craft stand up drawers and one Starlite drawer but I was looking at it and then seeing a drawer on your table in the time lapse yours looks bigger.
What are you doing with all the old road base plates? Can you not use them and put the MILS plate on top?
Would you be willing to link the mils rebrickabke corner/t guide you used?
Great video - can you please show us how to make the curved corner mils road plate? Would be awesome if you could.
thanks -
Do you have the 10190 Market Street Modular building?
How do you make your building the same height? Thank you for the info I’m going to use this to make my roads
What about rail crossing on a Mil plate with the new road plates??
Is there a parts lists for this? Thank you
Bricksie, I have seen others leave gaps in the edges to run wires for lights. You considering lighting the city?
Happy birthday
You should put black one by two plates under the sidewalk drains so you can’t see gray underneath!
Hi Jordan, thank you for sharing the methods of building this MILS road plate. It looks so cool! However I am not sure about connecting a 1x2 technic brick and a 1x2 plate.

@@brianp6859 agreed
Are you going to make something for the sides of town hall to give it a more finished off look?
Yes half basrlate corner modulars
Love the mils system but it's really expensive here in Singapore. Rather buy sets and the old road plates!
I do luke the new road plates allows for more realistic and creativity of ones city. Nice video.
Sadler_bricks
How did you do the section with the parking spaces ?
But i dont have enough tiles to make these mils plates. Should i order the pieces?
Remember that you can conserve some of your 1x4 tiles when you start connecting the road sections - (and just use 2x4 on the end pieces to connect/lock in your road sections.
whoops - guess I commented before you got to that part in the vid - ha
🤣🤣 good looking out
What is the long white strip made out of?
Video suggestion: make a whole shelf braisd of marvel sets and make a vid about it. I really wanna see more marvel content from you :)
I feel like in the turns and interactions you don't need the center white lines? Would be cleaner if the intersections (that had cross walks) and turns were just all grey and had no white lines in them. Otherwise, this has been really fun to watch as you upgrade the city!!
Let’s go
I just want to know where to get a bazillion tiles for doing so much sidewalk.
Lego needs to expand on this new road plate system with some kind of angled version.
PlaysTion just put out a video on their Horizon Lego set coming out in May can’t wait for the game this week looks absolutely amazing!
Playstation
3:53 what is the color name of those 1x4s? Just gray or?
where to buy this kind of board?
I was confused how you got the white strips I’m pretty new to this if someone could explain would be awesome
It's just a bunch of white 1xwhatever length plates sandwiched between dark grey bricks and the whole thing gets turned on its side
I have noticed many times that you are an Oilers fan. What do you think about Jesse ”the bison king” puljujärvi? Love your videos and the city upgrades so far. Keep on the good work! 💪🏻
Greetings from finland. 😊
