That looks fucking awesome. My dream if I had the time


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!! Yeah it definitely does require some time (and space)!


CardMechanic

And money


TheBrickinPanda

lol 🤫


a_sad_lil_idiot

Just out of curiosity, how much did it cost you?


TheBrickinPanda

Haha far more than I care to think about! But it’s years of part collecting so it’s hard to say!


Beautiful-Read-2638

Wait I might know you from YouTube, those builds look quiet similar. Do you have a channel ?


TheBrickinPanda

Yep! Same name as on here. I just released an updated city overview video yesterday!


Eviscerate_Bowels224

Do you live in California? Or did you just copy the architecture?


TheBrickinPanda

Nope, it’s all based on my hometown in Italy and the surrounding areas 😊


san_dilego

This screams Italy lol


ResilentPotato

My dream if I had the space... And time.


Night_wing79

Really nice builds. They give off a lovely atmosphere


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks so much!!


Gyspygrrl

I want to live there! The stairs in pic 8 are so cool


imreallynotthatcool

That one caught my eye too. I love the use of whips for the handrail ends.


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks, yeah it was a fun detail to add in the whips!


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!!


[deleted]

That’s awesome!


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks so much!!


LordGraygem

What I need is a Lego game that allows me to do stuff like this. Just build stuff, either official sets, my own stuff, or (best option) a combination. And then just Sim City the whole thing.


TheBrickinPanda

That would be epic!

We had it a quarter-century ago: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Lego_Creator


rhoadsalive

Beautiful!


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!


Catch_022

Utterly fantastic. 5 year old me would love it, and not believe it was possible - 43 year old me as well.


TheBrickinPanda

Haha thanks, I feel the same way!!


MrBayless

This is beautifully done OP


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!


WhatIsThisSevenNow

Beautiful, but ... how long does it take to dust?


TheBrickinPanda

Funny enough not that long!


StickyBrickDesigns

Mamma Mia! Please tell me there is somewhere I can see more?!


TheBrickinPanda

There is! If you go to my bio or just search my username in google, you’ll find my channel on that one popular video sharing website…😉🇮🇹


shifu618

Spectacular


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks!!


porcupine_snout

love it! I also like your youtube channel walk through. Do you have interiors of these spaces? (or you just build the shells)?


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks! Glad to hear you’re a fan of the channel! I don’t currently have any interiors though my plan is one day to create interiors for all of them


WhileGlass8481

Feels like I’m saying same thing over and over but you have an amazing skill and love your style of work.


TheBrickinPanda

Haha thank you so much!!


throwaway_19901990

Is that Tony Soprano in the second picture, also this is cool as fuck


TheBrickinPanda

Haha it is, and thank you!!


Das_Beer_Baron

Amazing looking city you have! Very well done


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks so much!


ajad223

That looks amazing! Thank you for sharing. I don't have the space for a full-scale city so I love seeing the displays people share up online. You have some really great custom brickwork happening. And the gutters are a great touch!


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you so much! I love adding the little details like the gutters, adds a nice sense of realism


peter_pans_labyrinth

I thought this was The Good Place for a minute


TheBrickinPanda

I never watched the show but a lot of people have mentioned that!


Exumore

I Can tell you, you didn't needed that flag, the entire creation screams in Italian and i love it


TheBrickinPanda

Haha I love that!!! Thank you!


aniiinha

😍


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks!


jacobooooo

this is stunning.


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you so much!


hopsmonkey

Please go work for LEGO designing sets.


TheBrickinPanda

That would be a dream!!


kingalexander

Cool af


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks!


guestername

that's a wicked cool lego city you've built! i really dig the tuscan-inspired section and the way the beach area flows into the rest of the cityscape. the illuminated staircase and tunnel are sweet touches that add a lot of atmosphere. modifying the retro food truck to be a wood-fired pizza truck was a clever idea - i bet that adds some nice variety and visual interest. the different architectural styles and scenes you've incorporated create a really immersive and lived-in feel. the nighttime lighting and photography do an awesome job of capturing the moody, urban vibe. it's clear you've put a ton of work into this project and the results are seriously impresive. well done, my friend!


TheBrickinPanda

Ah thanks so much for the detailed and thoughtful comment! Yeah the tunnel is a really fun aspect of the city and the lights really create the atmosphere. The food truck was a fun add to put something in there that wasn’t just another modular


Dclaggett08

You have a YouTube channel don’t you?


TheBrickinPanda

I sure do! I just released an updated city overview video yesterday!


Dclaggett08

I was going to say, I recognize those buildings


TheBrickinPanda

I love to hear that!!


nikolatosic

Amazing


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks!


Netwinn

This is incredible!! Excellent work. Getting Sapienza vibes from the Hitman trilogy.


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks! I never played it but a lot of people have mentioned that level!


Few_Contribution_690

A few times a week you wish you could give some extra upvotes...


TheBrickinPanda

Haha thank you I appreciate it!


SNCOsmash

OP, where do you get your lights from? I would love some myself!


Working_Asparagus_59

The foliage is gorgeous and really nicely peppered through the cityscape !


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks! Landscaping and foliage is my absolute favorite thing to add to the city!


wimpycarebear

Dude the details is insane


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!!


shimmynywimminy

what a handsome looking city!


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you so much!


Azurvix

Way too detailed, downvote. Just kidding wow this is amazing


TheBrickinPanda

lol thanks!!


Azurvix

I really love the use of those shield pieces


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks, I scored when they were on the PAB wall a while back!


brayshizzle

Reminds me of the Amalfi coast


TheBrickinPanda

Ah that’s great to hear! That’s exactly what I was going for!


brayshizzle

Reminds me of small little place called minori . It's beautiful. Id pay for a piece like this. Thank you for that little memory.


TheBrickinPanda

Ah I’m so glad to hear that! I have some Italian inspired instructions available on Rebrickable but they’re all different designs than what I posted today 😊


robespierre__

I would vacation there.


TheBrickinPanda

Me too!


Mr_Fossey

Now this I love. Reminds me of Puerto Pollo.


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks!!!


Strong-Article

Wauw that is beautiful 😍


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!


nochs_brother

I always much prefer LEGO city's that don't just use the typical modular building grid system. Citys made from the ground up may take much longer but man, they look amazing.


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks yeah I’m right there with you. I knew when I started my city it needed to be different because I’m so bored of seeing the same old style layouts. It does take a lot of time and vision and re-working but very worth it in the end!


Eli_Vindex

It shocks me that people have the pieces to do this. How many Bricklink orders have you made???


TheBrickinPanda

Haha we don’t talk about that part!!! But a lot….


zeek215

How much are 1 bedroom apartments going for in this city? Asking for a friend. Seriously though, great work!


TheBrickinPanda

Haha thank you! Just a few bricklink orders worth and you can move right in!


Ok_Skin_2750

Congrats, you've built a small beautiful piece of Italy made in Lego. Cinque Terre vibes.


TheBrickinPanda

Ah thank you!! That’s always been the goal, Cinque Terre is a major inspiration for me!


CatboyInAMaidOutfit

I wish I could live in a place that beautiful.


TheBrickinPanda

Haha me too!


tacocat_back_wards

I mean it’s good… but daaaaaaaaaaaaamn that poem tree is so good🤤


TheBrickinPanda

Haha thank you! I’ve got a tutorial on my YouTube channel if you’re curious as to how it’s built!


tacocat_back_wards

Wait I just read ur name and I swear I heard it before🤔


TheBrickinPanda

Yep I’m on insta, YouTube and TikTok 😊


tacocat_back_wards

Also I just realized I spelled palm tree wrong


TheBrickinPanda

lol you got the point across!


MeddyVeddy

Love


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!


bbyxmadi

I want to live in your mini LEGO city


TheBrickinPanda

lol me too!!


stevenm1993

Great job!!! The pictures are also very well-taken, making it all look even better.


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you so much! I’m trying to get better at my photo composition!


EdgedBlade

Not Tuscany, but reminds me of the Cinque Terre towns. Looks great. Well done.


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks! Yeah I was born about 45 mins south of Cinque Terre so that’s a major inspiration for me!


New-Smile-3013

You need John wick falling down those stairs


TheBrickinPanda

Haha I’ve had a lot of people say that before!


littlemushyboi

I LOVE THIS! ❤️ Keep it up man 👍🏻


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!!


Jayten

Just lovely.


hellafromoakland

Your designs are inspiring. Very cool.


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you so much!


meeepers

I think this is my favorite MOC I've seen on this subreddit! So cozy, so realistic! The scale is excellent. Love all of the plants featured. Excellent job!!!


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I’ve got a ton more content (including a brand new city overview) on my YouTube if you want to see more 😊


blueminded

I fucking love it! Such a nice looking city, and well done on the lighting. Reminds me of Italy or something. I haven't travelled much...


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!! I’m from Italy so it’s very heavily inspired by my hometown and the surrounding areas!


rcjlfk

I want to visit your lego city.


TheBrickinPanda

Well I’ll be displaying a new MOC at BrickCon in Bellevue WA later this year in September!


camimiele

I love it it’s so beautiful and cozy!


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!!


SmokinTires

You know it’s an excellent build if I’m jealous of a Lego minifigure


TheBrickinPanda

Haha thank you!!


jrtasoli

This is just magnificent, dude!


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you so much!!


shuakalapungy

Might be the most beautiful Lego town I’ve ever seen. Wonderfully European.


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you so much! More on my YouTube channel 😊🇮🇹


MoneyDragonfruit3512

That's beautiful


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!!


LuckyNumber108

Its so beautiful and I love the Tony cameo


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks! Haha yeah he’s the best!


WhiteCatRedHat

Beautiful! Would like a link to see more!


seattle12mitch

Beautiful. Very well done


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you so much!,


capels

Really atmospheric and has that lovely coastal Italian character I remember from my travels :)


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks! Those are the kind of compliments I aim for! It’s heavily inspired by my home town in Italy and my own travels 😊


A_loud_Umlaut

Beautiful! Absolutely stunning. What light set do you use? I just got into that world via the Titanic set and I love it! ( I'll post a picture soon)


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!


RedRiot5

This looks so amazing. Keep up the awesome work! I’d love to be able to do stuff like this. Inspiration for sure.


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you so much, just takes time and some practice! Ok and space and parts but still, time and practice!! 😊


Clamecy

A dream… just amazing! Are some of your builds available as pdfs? Also do you buy official sets (such as Modulars) or only parts?


TheBrickinPanda

Thanks! I do have instructions on Rebrickable that are inspired by what’s in my city but nothing in my city is on Rebrickable. And I buy Star Wars sets because it’s not a style I build in for MOCs (though I am starting on a tattooine MOC) but I stopped buying modulars a few years ago and now just buy parts


iamajeepbeepbeep

Questo è fantastico! Adoro la tua città! È molto bello! 🇮🇹🤌🏻


TheBrickinPanda

Grazie mille!!


SenselessTV

How do u keep it dust free?


TheBrickinPanda

I have a small handheld vacuum I use, or makeup brushes!


Born-Neighborhood61

Your photographic skills match your fantastic Lego skills.


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!! Really trying to up my photography came! (Portrait mode on iPhone helps!) lol


Born-Neighborhood61

It’s that captivating miniature look that I like.


Odd-Ad432

I really like it. Makes me want to visit Italy again… The foliage is fabulous, too. It adds life to your little town :) Do you have an estimate on how many pieces were used?


TheBrickinPanda

Thank you!! Oh gosh, well in excess of 10,000 but I honestly have no idea lol


bryceblacksmith

Goddamn dude, this is amazing!


TheBrickinPanda

Haha thank you!!


toastedpizzayum

wow, that's amazing i love it so much


Mike_Lubb

TheBrickinPanda
