This is not a crowd-sourced project. While I appreciate that many viewers have ideas for how they would do things if New JANG City belonged to them, this is my own personal project, being designed & built by me, in my own home. I do not use viewer suggestions for changes or additions at this time*. The number one, key, core reason for any of this to exist is for me to freely express my own personal creative interests & desires. I do not add, remove, or change anything on request.
Here's how the build queue looks as of the date in the title of the post...
*These unfortunate disclaimers have had to be added in response to increasingly large numbers of increasingly rude viewer demands for additions to & removals from my layout, at worst numbering in the hundreds per day when major updates are posted. The enthusiasm behind normal, casual suggestions is appreciated, but demands for changes are simply unacceptable.
I will include:
- Metro area (with at least 4 very tall office buildings)
- Freight harbor with ships, containers, crane, trucks, etc.
- Industrial area with factories, etc.
- Residential neighborhood with custom houses and possibly an apartment complex
- Planetary Defense Force base (above and below ground)
- Second elevated narrow-gauge passenger train stop
- Small city maintenance crew yard
- Pet store
- Chinese restaurant
- Dance club
- Underground mining area
- Small underground dinosaur/prehistoric zone
- Cars, Trucks (passenger and commercial), other normal vehicles you'll find in any city
- People
- Trees & plants
- Underground "Mellemby district" area for mostly official LEGO sets, details TBA
- There will be much more that's not on this list!
- I do not add to this list on request -- as explained above, this city is all about my own inspiration & creativity.
Already added:
- One skyscraper (the first of at least 4)
- Police station (currently awaiting full rebuild)
- Fire station
- Shopping mall
- Small boat marina
- Zoo (to be expanded some day)
- Gas station with car wash and adjacent car repair/service garage
- Arcade
- Ice cream shoppe
- Bike shop
- Musical instrument store
- Laser tag arena
- Two 9V standard-gauge rail loops
- Standard-gauge rail yard
- Elevated narrow-gauge rail loop
- Large passenger train station with elevated rail connector
- Second mainline passenger train station
- Large train yards
- Stand-ins for residential area
- Stand-in for cargo harbor
- Underground Minecraft overworld & Nether displays
- Temporary Nexo Knights battle diorama
I will not include:
- Airport. NO AIRPORT, PERIOD! An airport would ruin the plan for the entire city by taking up an absolutely enormous amount of space (if done to my satisfaction, and everything in my city must be done to my satisfaction).
- Heliport. Same as above, just smaller (but equally undesirable)
- Above-ground parking garage. Again, tremendous waste of incredibly valuable space (would need the area of at least 4 modular buildings to be even halfway decent). Maybe an underground one some day, way off in the future?
- Big ol' bland, basic parking lot. Same as for the parking garage, except even worse since a parking lot is only one level and thus an even worse waste of valuable space that could be used for an entire multi-level commercial building, residence, or at least a park.
- Super Heroes area
- Ninjago area
- Chinatown or Japantown
- Star Wars area
- Race track
- Minecraft End City
- Certainly countless other things will not be built in my layout. Stay tuned to this blog and my YouTube channel to see what I do build!
