The roads around the Monarch Theater look amazing, bringing the start of Crime Alley to life. Good to see the docks getting some attention as well, and can't wait until you start on the upper railway. Keep up the awesome work!
I can't wait to see the building you have planned for the other side of crime alley. Can you give us a hint? Happy boxing day! All the people delivering those bricks must be working as hard as you do.🙂
I do remember seeing the video, but thought it was the opposite way around with the bricks taking up too much space (which it obviously wasn't), I must rewatch his video be nice to understand.
Not trying to undermine your curational skills and your personal vision or poo-poo your work. This is an amazing project. But just sharing a thought regarding those cranes. I actually prefer having the rails installed (sunk so the top of the rail is level with the dock surface), as the cranes are collosal and would require steel wheels on steel rails to support their weight. This disruption in the surface would also add character to the docks and break up the monotony of the surface. Beyond what wear-and-tear character you give it. I also think they would look interesting if the rails and large portions of the cranes were composed of a rust colour. there is so much grey and beige throughout the city. Here you have an opportunity for massive and imposing figures in the landscape that are not made of concrete or brick, but of steel. Rust and even maybe an industrial paint colour like a mint green would definitely pop. But then again, that could pop too much. I really love how your videos capture your creative process and how you weigh everything; case-in-point adjusting the dimensions of the theatre slightly to produce a much more suitible result for the overall proportions of the city. You're not afraid of putting the work in to revise or abandon something if it will contribute to your overall objective/vision. Cheers!
I think I know the answer to the gap in your studs, which I realised when making the stickers. A 1 x 1 brick is 7.8mm, and you'd think a 2 x 2 would be double, being 15.6 mm, but it's actually 15.8 mm. So they've added 0.2 mm to account for the gaps between bricks, and every brick from there ends in 0.8 mm, so there are several 0.2 mm causing havoc in the length. But anyway, great video, as always. I hope you had a great Christmas!
I'll never understand how people can afford to build such insane MOCs. Also for the blood in the alley, it looks a bit too bright and too orange. I think Dark Red would be the perfect color, since it would look a bit more like blood and fit with the fact that it's supposed to be on a darker surface. As for the super tiny gaps, Brick Sculpt just put out a new video covering the smallest LEGO units you could ever need to deal with, so maybe something in there could help you fill in the tiny gaps in the roads and make things perfectly flush.
13:45 for larger chains I usually clip a buttload of link chains together (LEGO part 3711/14696) but I'm not sure it will look right on a crane. A second to wrap around, like mentioned, is probably better looking.
Thanks @Slamdoxicalz , I will be using that part on the Rollercoaster when I finally get around to motorising it. When I get the part I will see how they look on the crane.
I am going to make the folding doors up, but may make it so that they go inwards as opposed to outwards. Due to the design on the door frame now, the doors should be able to swing both inwards and outwards.

Thank you @alfredrising3247 . Your wish is granted in a couple of days time. The next update is all about the raised train line.
The theatre, even though it's a little smaller, hasn't lost its appeal. It still looks amazing 😁. Road work is coming along nicely, let's go Dubbzi!
Thanks Dion, It is amazing how much difference a couple of studs can make. So pleased that the building feels the same size.
I can't wait to see the building you have planned for the other side of crime alley. Can you give us a hint? Happy boxing day! All the people delivering those bricks must be working as hard as you do.🙂
nice to watch your city growing. and nice to see that you are continue to work on it. great
Thank you @501st_clone 🙏
Looking amazing, I can't remember exactly what he said, but Bevins Bricks had a video about alignment issues with long rows of bricks.
I do remember seeing the video, but thought it was the opposite way around with the bricks taking up too much space (which it obviously wasn't), I must rewatch his video be nice to understand.
Love the content mate keep up the great work ❤
Thank you @Caram3L019, Much appreciated.

Thanks Taylor, Makes sense. Makes you wonder why they allow for a gap that they don't need to allow for 🤔😂

Merry Christmas brother
Merry Christmas to you too @chieferoni 🎄
The theatre, with a lot of American ones, have a ticket office in the middle of the doors, so you don’t have the hinge
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you too @LegoBrickMedia . Hope you are having a good one
As annoying as it would be, you could either have the doors open inwards or have a rotating type door for the theatre
