It is insane how amazing this is. It's so clean, but at the same time it gives the sense of a dirty, cluttered industrial district of a city.

Excellent work! now i think i want to build city creations again... ;-P thanks for inspiration!

This is just awesome!!!!!But how do you make that bridge?

I don't suppose you have anymore images of the passenger train shown on some of the elevated tracks? It looks perfect from a distance, just like Chicago's L cars. I would love to see some of the details.

The sense of realism here is so strong and refreshing. So much of the modular sets and set-ups are based on what some wish the world was like and there's nothing wrong with that. This MOC is incredibly detailed and you are talented.

Thanks. This was set up in my Lego Room. It was dismantled in July.

pause . . . This is build out of lego. ;o)

Is this set up in your living room or dinning room? This looks like a huge city, it looks great. Hopefully you don't have to take this apart.

Fantastic assortment of buildings. I also like how they are 'aged'. Looks like you are running out of room though!

i wanted you to know, that i think you should have won the town-city mocie this year jon! your city is the most fabulous...ever!!!

This is 100% Beautiful! Sooner then later w=once I get a job and can pay for all of the needed materials I am planning on building A town Plan almost like this! this is going to be a Big Inspiration when it comes to building mine

OMG are you serious? It makes me want to set a tiny camera inside a vehicle and roam the streets listening to the radio :D Great job! Stunning details

This looks just like a model railroad layout, why didn't you simply build it with train models?

Jonathan, I absolutely love your work and I think its complete genius. I would love to do an interview with you on your work for my online magazine. Please contact me at info@fuzionmag.com. Thank You so much.

Jonathan, you have long been one of my favorite builders, but this new layout tops anything you have done before. Congratulations!

thanks. the tattoo shop was based on a building in Jackson, MS. The actual building is much larger - but, it is a multi-use building. The building contains more than just a tattoo shop.

Oh my gosh that is so realistic i mean i want to go to joes right know. Thanks Unkown

Words (almost) fail me...this creation is the crown jewel of all city creations. The variety of textures and vehicles is stunning! I envy your ginourmous (Yes, I know that's not a word!) collection of parts. From the "carpet" store to the diner to the fantastic detailing on the roofs of the buildings, this is truly a LEGO work of art. The clever use of parts throughout the MOC are so plentiful that one can't help but take them for granted. I love the way you made the town seem to 'Come to life', using weathered looks on some buildings and sleek looks on others. I only have one question: Why is the tattoo shop so HUGE? They must have a pretty big business! There are so many things I could say about this creation...keep up the fantastic work!

Amazing amazing job. The amount of time and work you out into this really show. This is a really work of art. Great job

AMAZING! I think it would be necessary to add an overhead shot of the entire thing at the end to capture the complete size of this.

Amazing job! Wonderful workmanship! Cheers!~Swift

Great job.

Nice city and cool details you even added fire escapes.

what are all those cuboards in the back and do you get paid to do this man its awesome and when you take it down you should have like a big war in the city and thats why its destroyed

very very very very very very good i amm very new to pohotos so how to you get your photos such good quality

I have only ever been speechless twice before. This is the third.

WOW !!! I am new to MOCpages although not to the fun and art of LEGO.this is truly an AWE inspiring masterpiece!! (i cant beleave you are taking it down) I wish i could experiance it in person instead of just from your photos !!! seeing this makes me wish for a Holo deck so i could walk down its streets and truely marvel at it !! wish i could rate it higher than 5/5 it is closer to 20/5 lol oh and i dont just like it i LOVE IT !!!

A truly inspiring build! The layout, level of detail and creation of an atmosphere in a grimy city beggar belief... I could go on but I'm off to look at the pictures again.

Fantastic! I think I've been there. The grimyness is so spot-on. All you need are a few potholes.

Un-be-lievable... Even though interior would be an extremely teedious task to set up(to say the least)it would have been truly epic if it was there! But still a fantastic build :-)

This is amazing. Great Job

Absolutely stunning!

Wow! this is awesome! And I really like all the detail you put on the buildings.

OMG!!! You make one of my old dreams come real... Total respect!! Tremendous work and very nice pics.

Is that a LEGO Harry Potter I spy in a picture? Really amazing!

Thanks. The buildings do not have interiors.

simply GREAT!!!

This is really awesome. I am wondering :Do the buildings have a full interior? And if so, would you please post interior pictures, too?

This is perfect in every way! I love it.

Awesome!

is that right? you are going to demolish it all? aaah! you HAVE to film this chef d oeuvre jonathan! put it on u-tube!!! i can t go there to see it! please jon! you owe it at least to yourself to expose it on u-tube! i can t beleive you ll have the heart to do that! i wish you all the luck in the world for your exposition though!

Perfect.. Should make a alternate zombie Apoc one :3

Excellent job... I really liked it.

I love it and so jealous my all time favorite toy is legos it inspires your imagination and the child in all of us

OMG AWESOME!!!!!

This is amazing and to cool for words.....Exept these, amazing,cool,asome,and epic!

Jonathan, your amazing work is a continuing inspiration to me. Thanks for the update!

Amazing! great job! how do you not go broke with all of these legos! haha

Nice congrats o both MOTD and Across Mocpages on the same day

Your city is awesome. All vehicles is excellent. Good Job!!!

Absolutely Fantastistic :D Come visit Legoland DK

Amazing!

Wow, I love making legos out of spare parts, so I made my own lego lair that I have on display in my room, and I'm only 13, but mine is nothing compared to this, maybe I'll put it on YouTube someday, but keep up the good work, although it stinks that you're dissasembaling it. I would go through alot to have you teach me a little. GREAT WORK!! (By the way, in case I do, my YouTube account is EagleSpirit88)

Thanks. Build time? Not sure. It has been in the works for a couple of years. I'll be having an open studio event in May and then disassembling this shortly there after.

WOW !!! its time NYC has a Lego museum something like the world expo of the past, this time around with user generated Lego cityscapes and I would nominate your works for Brooklyn. Bravo !! what was your build time ? are you going to build more or preserve this? Thanks for sharing

Just beautiful. I esp. like the firehouse, the fire escapes, and the brickwork.

Congratulations to the atmosphere and the balance of your creation: this is no longer a game, this is art ....

Awesomeness at it's best. Very cool.

now all you need are some zombies!!

That, is amazing. Truly inspiring. Some of these things I can hardly believe are actually LEGO.

This is the one thing you missed. The minifigure-view shot! That would make it perfect!

Very impressive work, a real eye for detail. Awesome!

You should make an Moc like this, but with broken buildings and ruined things, like and apocalyptic scene.

Wow, someone has a lot of bricks, and time! Very glad to see both went to good use.

Now, how do you feel about sorting it all? Hahaha. Man this is amazing! Give yourself multiple pats on the back for a job well done!

I could spend as long complimenting you on every detail of this fabulous layout as I plan on spending just looking at it. Instead, I say bravo and go back to looking.~H

I looked very hard at it all and you are NOT going to believe me, but you missed something.

Superb amount of bricks and attention to detail. Plenty of custom vehicles. I could look at these pictures all day long and a few days after that :p

Nice stuff! Oh and I spotted Harry Potter and a Rebel hiding amongst the figures! haha I half expected to find Spiderman in there somewhere too! Great job!

I want to come to your house and spend hours gawking at this marvel! I want to take tons of pictures I want to look inside every building and just drool! This was my fantasy train set from when I was a child! You surpassed every model rail road have ever seen! Even the KGB stuff! You rock!!!!!

Wow Jonathan! You have set yet another benchmark in LEGO layouts. My favorite photo is the 4th down... the lighting is perfect, muted, so realistic and the Pick-A-Brick cups in the background look like buildings off in the distance. I dare say this is the most realistic integration of LEGO Train and Town I've ever seen with all of the elevated train tracks, overpasses, etc... It's so gritty I need a shower after viewing! :D

I must say, Job well done. I realy enjoyed the blue & gray Bus the most. I also admired the TDA Fire Truck because I build Fire Trucks for a living. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next project.

Absolutely stunning. The slightly decayed nature of this part of town is brilliant. I'm not sure about the beige/sand colour for the ground, but this is no less amazing for that. So much more than a 10/10

THIS IS AWESOME, TRULY AMAZING! Plus I see a lot of lego bricks used and I mean a lot.

No doubt, impressive and amazing. Fanatastic level of details.

Great stuff, truly.

Unbelieveable! Amazing! It reminds me on GTA San Andreas.

Unbelivable! I can see a lot of work here!

whoa... that is one big layout... Make it an apocalypse city now! :P

a feast for the eye, it's all so wounderful, tattoo shop, dark red fire house, tan building near pool hall, dark orange foctory, and that brown factory next to the munson diner fantastic, all my favorit colour's how did you ever manage to use sand red. many thanks for all the work and sharing your builds. Allan.

I remember seeing some of your buildings before, but I didn't know they all belong to one huge layout. This is just awesome. Congratulations on finishing it. I can't even imagine how many hours of work went into that. All those decayed buildings are really inspiring and the landscape and vehicles help to make this town really believable. Well, I'm at a loss for words. Just WOW!

Uneblievable! Dude! You have a helluva lot LEGOs and helluva lot patience and not to mention creativity! Outstanding!

Absolutly fantastic! The size and quality of it all impress equally!

Wow, outstanding creation. :)

I just canīt get enough of this. I canīt stop looking at it. Every time I go and check MOCpages, I am trapped in your wonderful atmosphere of urban decay. And it is exactly this decay that makes your layout so astonishing, so outstanding and different from all the "high-noon", clean and fairytale Lego layouts of many other builders. To me, your work is among the most inspiring ones to be found in the entire web. Regards, Steffen

Absolutely Amazing! love the vehicles and all the details! i particulary like the blue bus!

Utterly amazing! I just don't understand how people could ever find the time to do this. And I agree with Mr. Pivitt below me, make a zombie APOC now!

This is one of the most inspiring and thought provoking LEGO project/layouts I've seen in a long while. Absolutely amazing work, you've quite eloquently distilled down the "urban experience" using a child's toy.

This is my favorite creation on all of MOCpages! Awesome work.

this totally reminds me of fallout 3, awesome, and i see you got the maersk train awesomer

First of all, BIG. But what makes this truly great is that you managed to completely avoid the outright blandness that plagues too many Town builds. I am speechless.

COOL MAN!!!!!

now make it a zombie apocalypse!

Time intensive! This is a detail loaded build, with some really cool original vehicle designs. Nice job.

No words can describe this masterpiece...

O_O...you left me speechless ;D BTW, I'm adding you as a favorite--doing the same would be much appreciated :p.

WOW! amazing MOC looks just like a real city. BTW how many bricks is it, and how big exactly is it?

HEY YOU SHOULD HAVE A BUILDING BE ON FIRE AND THE FD RESPONDING.(sorry for caps)

Thanks. I'd estimate 150K-200K bricks. The layout is 16 feet by 10 feet.

thanks. Some vehicles can seat minifigs, but not many of them.

OMG! I have no words to describe ALL of this... I love all the MOCs individually but the entire layout is AWESOME!!! Congratulations...

Incredible!!!!! the realism is unbelievable and the roads are perfect! your brick collection must be massive. your scene needs more minifigure activity though. are the vehicles able to seat minifigures? overall incredible build !!!!!

The best creation on mocpages.

Industrial indeed. I love it all!

All it needs is a Walking Dead scenario lol, overall i like it, wish i had that many legos >.>

Awesome, now all it needs are some traceurs (freerunners) dotted around doing parkour :)~Quinn

Great! So many wonderful buidings, so many details. It will take me some time to explore all this!

This is my favorite city layout that I have seen. I love the realistic run down buildings and everything about this whole set up. You have done such an awesome job putting the whole thing together. I would love to see it in person.

Amazing attentiong to detail here. I love how every creation had details everywhere including the backs of the buildings, the cars, etc. I think my favorite creation in there was the diners.

The sheer scale combined with the amazing detail make this... sheerly amazing!

Awesome,Amazing:)

Wow! This is just simply amazing! I love the buildings and the vehicles! Great moc.

Wonderfully accurate! There are so many awesome little details, I would be hard-pressed to say which is my favorite! I love the run-down feel you gave to it; wouldn't want to live there, though :)

That city is, let's see how i should put this, AMAZING!!!

Excellent, I love how you gave the whole layout that sort of run down look. I also love all the vehicles, especially that bus!

The amount talent and hard work put into some of the mocs on this site never ceases to amaze me. This is amazing!

The Brickwork on the sides of some of those buildings is crazy. Excellent work.

Absolutely amazing. The details and deterioration effects are mind-blowing.

As ever, lovely. My fav bit is the railroad spur between the buildings. I see you've built your new 'blue train' already;-)

Exquisite!

congratulations jon!!! YOUR CITY IS A DREAM!!!...and thanks! as i wanted to see the WHOLE thing for a very long time now! each and every piece on this layout is a true gem! bravo! i don t remember ever seing an american styled city as beautiful, detailed, realistic, and just plain AWESOME before, joerg, on this site, comes close as second, with an european design, you should check it, it s real nice too! bravo jon!!!

Glad to see it all together! Very impressive!!!

I've been a fan of your for years, this layout is a perfect illustration as to why.

Wow. Perfect. That's a very realistic build. There is nothing to improve.
