It's quite staggering when you see the rock wall on your desk and think, wow this is enormous. Then you showed the overhead shot of the city and I swear I couldn't even see it. The city is just gigantic! It's looking amazing!

That first “cavern” you put in would look really good with a waterfall there flowing into the zoo and adding water in there!

It would be cool to put the Bears against the mountain and give them a small cave built into it

Consider a more gradual incline for the base of the mountain edge in the countryside area, as opposed to the normal steep cliff edges you have made with previous mountains. This way the mountain will look more natural in the rural part of your city, and more 'cut into' in the more urban areas. You can always get steeper as you go higher, which is more realistic for mountains.

With the cliffs behind you can make caves for animals to expand the zoo and give more space to the animals. Keep up the great work. Watch all your videos for years.

Ninjago City is a highlight in any layout to me, and the elevation helps even more

River canyon on the side by the country? Browns, trees, waterfalls, goat herder? This mountain is going to be EPIC! Congrats 🎉

Slowly but surely we are watching a masterpiece come together 😊

A batcave in the mountain would be awesome to see

Water really pops from the view coming down the stairs 👌🏼👌🏼

Great start to an epic mountain!! Can't wait to see your vision completed.

You should absolutely have a hidden cave for a nice bricksie Easter egg

Looking good so far

That's a lot of work. Little picnic areas on the rock work overlooking the zoo and city would help break it up a bit

Some rolling hills with trees would look good leading up to the mountain. You can add a distinct tree line to the top of the mountain.

So cool you get to rebuild your entire city man!! It looks sooo awesome

Wooow............your city is turning out awesome! I think the Ninjago district is a great idea., I can't wait to see it! Mountains looking good, too! You go, Jordan!!! 🤘😎

Flip some of the big mountain pieces with the “inside” facing out. Gives more of a realistic look while still using the same piece. You can still blend using the same technique and gives a better overall look!

Man, it must feel daunting at times looking at everything you need to do! Looking great!

Never apologize for too much VO. That means you are building. Best part of anything LEGO related is the build. Great work!

Looking good! I hope Joseé is healing well! Well wishes to Mrs Bricksie!

BURPs are super useful for terrain building. It doesn’t even take many more pieces to make them look good.

Looks incredible. Great detailing. Can't wait to see this finished. Still loving that beach....even my wife, who's not a massive Lego fan, said that looks very impressive! 👍🏻

Looking great man

Some rice paddies going up the mountain would make it look cool

When a LEGO City is so big a human being looks small😅

Mountains Jordan, I want to see mountains....little play off LOTR 😅 Looking stellar man, and can't wait to see it come together

Would be cool to have the mountain have little caves or dens for the animals in the zoo to have be apart of their enclosures

I’m currently building a batcave so I’ll try to include some of these techniques into my moc!

LOVE IT

Might be cool to leave a section of the mountainside as removable to build a mini hidden cave like you did in the old campground.

Have you considering adding a separate train-loop a while up the mountain? I think that would be really cool with a train going in and out of tunnels up in the middle of the mountain!

this is what we want awesome!

Hey bricksie the water looks soo good ❤

Brickcrafts is very good at Lego landscapes! Bricksie you Should give him a watch and get some ideas for building cliffs!

Heck yeah, I was looking forward to the mountain construction. Looking good!

if the part of the mountain will be used as a part of zoo's enclosure it would be great to make a cave in that spot.

You should make the bird enclosure a dome against the mountain !

you could use under the wood of the mountain supports as places to store lego empty boxes you want to keep haha easy hidden storage

Please build a BATCAVE into the mountain somewhere, has the downtown core got a Wayne tower? 👀

It would be cool to incorporate your rail system into the mountain in some way.

It'd be cool if there was a purely vertical set of columns with the BURPs and having a rock-climbing scene!

All that mountain needs some caves!

awesome!

This is what we talking about…. Bricksie back… all you needed was holiday…. Lets get building…. Where you talk about the narrower platform on top of mountain, that could be the ninjago mountain temple, similar to your older one, so the temple is at the very top looking down into the city, and each quadrant can have its own mountain topper relevant to the locality, the city can have some apartments, the countryside has mountain view observatory, ninjago has temple, theme park has a ride station on a cliff drop or observation tower etc, the snow village has santa shack and ski lodge run start…. Each has its own side and separate peak element but each unique to its feature on is face side view

Your elevation really helps show off more details of your city. Plus the mountain is really taking shape and becoming a focal point. I'm really liking the mountain building, I look forward to watching it grow.

Good start! I'd love to see some waterfalls along the sides of the mountain to link up with the existing water in the city.

I think the zoo really needs a refresh, try fences and paths maybe over raised platforms?

The inset part of the mountain wall actually looks perfect for the waterfall. Water carving out a part of the mountain like nature does and the way it's sitting now it's a waterfall in two parts making it a bit more interesting.

If are still planning an elevated railway line, it would be cool to see if you could get it to snake through the mountain.

Finally mountains! Been really looking forward to seeing how this pans out. Scrap the zoo and let the animals roam free on the mountain.

Batcave!

The mountain is looking very good!

A cable car to the top would be nice ;-)

I'm so happy to the start of the mountain!! That rock!!🤟🤟

Wow the scale is crazy… I imagine an order of 10,000 BURPs will be placed soon

18:50 Is the market being connected backwards internal Looks kinda off to me

you should consider making a mountain range with a valley in between so there are two mountains rather than a huge mountain think it will make it more realistic also you can also possibly have a river train and road in the valley. Love your channel. 😊

I think the rock face is a bit too much in the same place. Consider pulling an 8-brick step-up inside the zoo somewhere; this will dampen the suddenness of the cliff and give you some more geography to play with inside the zoo.

Mountain looks epic. Going to look even better with detail, slopes and foliage. I would make the country side gradient quite subtle. I think it would be cool to have some massive rolling hills before the mountains

Love it ❤man

Are you open to reconsidering the zoo structure? How about taking a look at how some more natural zoos design their enclosures. Singapore zoo would be a good starting point.

Loving the rock work so far! You don’t give yourself enough credit for your more organic building. It looks great! If I may make a suggestion, I wish you would channel your eye for organic design towards the zoo design. Most zoos have wandering paths and offer unique viewing angles based on the animal and needed enclosure. The large dual level walkways really take up a lot of room that could be used for stories, more organic walk ways and varying elevations.

Looking good. I actually really like that curved mountain wall.

All right! Look at you go dude!❤

Cool update, brickcraft Made Some cool mountains maybe you can do something like that also😊. Like the progress good job

The inset variation on the rock panels is a good start to prevent it from looking too uniform. I like the depth changes. Before you get too far into it, you should consider putting a cave or two in the bottom of the mountain to integrate with the zoo enclosures. A could of animals poking their heads out of the rocks will add some neat scenes.

Rocking out 😁

The more I see the city taking shape the more it reminds me of a giant GTA map.

A mountain should be at least a 1000 ft AMSL. Even at 3 times the height your at, you'll be barely higher than the tallest buildings in the city. Think of the mountains you saw in some of the dioramas in Billund, they were enormous!

Adding switch backs or hiking trails into the mountain would be cool

Looks great but what about an airport out in the countryside area

Lots of slopes love the new texture new mountain is 🍕

Would be cool if it had several “tops” so it looks more like a mountain range rather than one solo mountain

Would consider making another section of your mountain incorporate the bat cave?

You have to make dungeons and caves In there!

man. this is some MASSIVE mountain

I love what you have done with your lego city

Great looking start to the mountain. Maybe somewhere else along the mountain, add a mineshaft or a cave going into the mountain.

It would be cool to add either a cave or an overhang with a waterfall in the mountains to make the rivers more realistic

The more and more I see some builds on the city I keep thinking that you should really consider moving your sets and associated shelving upstairs and the parts/work area downstairs. Similar space but I feel like way more efficient

It really is amazing how much progress you're able to make on this while also filming and editing the videos. Mountains are looking great!

First I have to congratulate you on a very successful video today! It was entertaining and informative. The voice over is a great way to do it. You speak clearly about what you’re building without rambling and repeating yourself and you get to crank your tunes while building. Very good job on the filming of the timelapse sections. What a night and day difference between today’s video and yesterday’s. Also we both think everything you built today looks awesome. The mountain looks great behind the zoo and it’s going to make your whole layout far more interesting. Whoever said you build crappy mountains doesn’t know what he’s talking about. So far your framework for the mountain is great. Good job!

Great video today. Can’t wait for more city updates

Can you sneak Frodo, Sam, and Gollum somewhere on the mountain?

Looks really awesome

Should do a batcave inside there

In rhe 8 stud wide gap, you could make it look like a rock fall

Love the vid ❤

Definitely need some rock, climbers, climbing the mountain

Great work, hope there aren't too many negative comments about the rock panels!!

Happy full time youtuber 🎉 anniversary

Great start, dude! I think you were saying yesterday that you thought the countryside train line should be in a bit of a gorge with the eventual hill going up sharply on either side, but maybe just making some of that section into a tunnel underneath rolling hills that eventually meets the mountain could make sense?

Think you should just finish off the back of the zoo instead of trying to incorporate it into the mountain and will make the fence look better. Also think zoo looked better as a grid giving the animals more room instead of the angled viewing areas which made each area smaller

If that triangle area behind the aquarium becomes dead space, you could always put a picnic table/gazebo back there as like a break area for zoo staff

I apologize if this is a suggestion you've seen multiple times, or have addressed already in the past, but have you ever considered making inserts for the pop up holes you have? I'm picturing something like your sit stand desk that can be raised and lowered, but also has wheels so that it can be moved for when you need to work in that area.

You should use duplo for mountain elevations but I love your corner for the mountain but use duplo for back support that what I do for height support in my builds

So awesome😱😱😱 Just make sure the mountain is going VERY up higher than all the tallest buildings in the City. When the BIG mountain almost being done in near future, would it be so so cool with lava floating down the mountain!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏💥💥💥💥

Rather than rock panels next to each other and 8 filler bricks every level you should do one RP two filler bricks RP two fillers RP two fillers etc, to break up the uniform lines created by the rock panels.

Aviary and "head" of the AT AT could be built into the mountain
