This is definitely the better way to use the new road system. Good job

They look really useful for certain MOCs. I just wish they were a bit wider. On the bright side it looks like there’s a way to make them wider.

I think they would also work well as road for a high way because they have anti studs on the bottom so you can build support structure under them.

Those actually look really cool! I think you've convinced me to go MILS!

considering I am just starting my city, this was my plan. As you see, having just came back to Lego within the kast 4 months, I am not bothered by swapping out my road system with this new system, or switching out my modulars to a mils system...I'm just starting out with mils and this new road system from my beginnings! My only regret is the cost of Modulars 1-13!!! Yeah, some of them gonna be expensive!

This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing!

Nice Lego needs to come up with a corner version of the new road system

Thanks for providing this cost saving use of the new LEGO road system in a MILS plate city. I will probably try creating some of the new road MILS plate to see if I like as much as you do.

Bevin you might be a LEGO GENIUS! Not only did you nicely show how to put the new road set into the MILLS system, but you killed two birds with one stone by also showing how you might be able to cut down cost/hassle for those that might have to do a bricklink or somewhere else order. Green 32x32 plates are cheap($6) and fairly easy to purchase. A lot of ppl have LEGO pieces laying around to create MILLS System framework, but if not you can buy bulk pieces really cheap as you have shown on your previous videos. Me in particular will not do the Mills System for my town because I have budget constraints, but maybe I'll do one MILLS plate for a display scene of some sort and buying one set of the new road system. I'm really happy you did this video because I was an absolute no on the new road set, but I just maybe change my mind down the road. Thanks 😀👍👏

I like it and what you have done with it...nice work Daryl.thanks 👏

The power line design is so simple but awesome, great stuff

Yeah Daryl!!! I love the bevinized version of the new road plates!! Good job!!😁😁

Alright you convinced me to try it out. I always liked the MILS plates, but it was too expensive IMO, but this, this is 👌

This is exactly what I was thinking to use them for! What a great job Daryl. Love this!

Love your power lines with the transformers on the pole

Very good info, as usual. Thanks!!

I like the regular road base plate for normal roads, but these mew ones would be great for bridges and raised freeway, highways

You can still use solid tiles for the stripes. They didnt paint them bright enough so i just went thru and painted a bunch with a yellow stripe.

That's a massive turnaround from your previous views of this set unseen. I agree with you about the little gap lines in the road and it's a shame that you can't get a sold line down the middle using those tiles with the stripe. But to get two MILS road plates from one set seems pretty good going to me. Seems like you're going to have a lot of spare tiles (but you can always use them for sidewalks and pedestrian areas).

I love these road plates. Now after watching this I really can't wait to get some too bad they are sold out online I'll have to check some local stores. Thank you for a great review Daryl

The roadplates looks quite good after being Bevinized. Bit more positive toward the new roadsystem after seeing you and several other experienced Lego builders saying nice things about them. I might actually make the access road from my train station to my harbor with this system once I get round to elevating my city so I can have my trains run in a loop underneath it.

thank you xx I think I will go with the need roads now and when I have the money I go bevin bricks style with mils x

I knew these new road plates would be awesome!😍🙏🏼

Perfect review and I love what you did with yours.

I think adding the lines on the outer edges really improves it - looks much smarter.

Wow, that looks fantastic inside a MILS system.

That is a genius idea!!!

Very creative!! You may have changed my mind on them now 🤣🤣

Glad to see they are better than expected! Wish they are all one tile thought, the 2x4 tiles in the road aren’t terrible but they def are not as good as your other roads!

Wow, this is great! Thank you for comparing and providing your feedback. The only drawbacks I can see would be for actual street level customization. And what I mean by that is, you will not be able to add words such as slow or thru, white arrows, or even have a train track run through it like you do on that curve in your city. Speaking of curves, I assume that curved roads will be a thing of the past? Also, nice touches such as sewer caps, discolored cement, potholes, and as you mentioned the center lines, will not be able to be placed exactly where you want them because of the large "street" piece. That is a very minor issue because they can still be added, but you are limited to those 2x4 tile areas for customization. Otherwise, the fact that the new road plates can be incorporated into mils is just awesome. And it is an excellent $$$ saver too!

On a mils plate it looks really nice! I couldn't tell the difference when you first showed it. I just realised that the old road plates are 18 studs wide and the new ones are only 2 studs skinnier. Nice video.

Excellent

This looks really good! I still need to decide what kind of roads I'm going to use in my city, and this certainly gives me inspiration. And also what you mention, it is cheaper than the brick-built roads ($25 for one plate contrary to $20 for two plates).

@@BevinsBricksWorld - okay yeah I take that back. Fill the line in one direction with the stripe(s), then the two cross sections with the corresponding 2xX plates in same road colour would be better. But if the plate is 16x16 that would be 2x7 does that exist?

@sambeaumont395

3 жыл бұрын

@@BevinsBricksWorld I may be completely wrong, but I thought the base plate the roads are built on are 16x16. So in a hypothetical plate/tile where you can place a full straight line you would have a cut out of 16x2 in the middle both horizontally and vertically. So if you were to fill the 16x2 vertically with your straight line, the horizontal would be split into two 2x7 wouldn’t it? Although to be fair you would also have the awkward 1x4s all the way around, perhaps they would also be cut out to for a border. In the case of a border, you could then tile the outside with 2x1 and put in the grate style piece for a gutter then you would only need 6x2 tiles. Anyway the whole point was that the 2x4 cut outs filled with 2x4 tiles to match the road stick out like a sore thumb. Without full length pieces to the center line I think it would look worse. If you have full length pieces it should look better, as if the road was built in parts or patched. The other part is how the new roads are now being included in sets, taking pieces away from the build or adding unnecessary cost. On the new house with skate hockey driveway the spot where the car goes sits below the road as it isn’t tiled. Take away the road (I.e. make the 5+ kids use their imagination, would either allow the set to become more affordable or the build could have been made a bit better with additional parts at same cost. Overall the mils plates where you have almost full control of the design are still the way to go in my opinion. All that being said I am still very curious to see how LEGO will make a corner with this new style (or if they will just ignore it).

@@BevinsBricksWorld - it’s not over thinking, it is thinking it through. The current plate, as is, has four 2x4 and eight 1x4 cut outs, all of which leave awkward gaps around each of the tiles you add in, whether they have lines on them or not. Extending both the vertical and horizontal 2x4 cut outs to the edge of the plate to allow the line does not solve this issue completely, using the right sized tiles assuming they exist could eliminate the shorter 2 wide studs gaps that were at the 2 stud ends of each 2x4, which would be a massive improvement aesthetically, but it doesn’t address the 1x4 on the edges hence the border idea. At the end of the day I realise why they are making the change to the roading system and/or creating these sets - they just look like a horrible downgrade in my opinion.

Nice !

Wow, great video and it really looks nice! As nice as your fully custom ones I must say! :O

Looks great especially for those that don't have a ton of spare parts to make a MILS system. With MILS do you have to raise the modular buildings so that they are higher than the road? One of the complaints I see the most about the new road plates is that the curb would be higher than the modular buildings when built on the supplied base plates but wouldn't the MILS system have this same problem?

These road plates are sweet. How do you attach the road plates though? Just from the bottom to a baseplate? I see your row of solid grey you ran between the while lines on the sides and the road plate but is it just attached by headlamps on the opposite side? The road plate sides themselves are smooth so are they just being attached from the bottom and the side grey row pieces are being held tight by headlamps?

How many 2x2 square pieces, how many 3x2 rectangle pieces and what kind of pieces do you have underneath the new road plate? Thanks.
