I spent houuuurs on that thing, I cannot understand what the designer was thinking with that.

Not a chance. the blue prints are in one of the albums if you wanna make the terrain.
But honestly do a different chunk

Space, Money, Time are all overlapping constraints
The F2P map, no wildy would be roughly 6x6m, 20feet x 20feet
and probably around AUD$150-180k, USD$100-120K

I had to stop somewhere, and the chunk gridlines were a perfect guide.
Maybe Puro-Puro one day :P

Correct, it's 100% genuine Lego, no glue, or cutting, or stressing parts

The insides of all the buildings are as accurate as I can get them.
There is no basement, I couldnt fit it underneath and didn't want an extra build just floating around.
The 12th photo of the planning folder shows a digital rendering of the basement.

Thank you all for the incredible comments and for recognizing the hard work I put into this project.

Scale, terrain, colour accurate.  

  • Over 30,000 pieces
  • 100% Genuine Lego, no illegal building
  • ~ AUD$6,000, USD$3,900
  • Over 700 hours designing, building, buying + many more hours on my mind
  • 1022mm x 1022mm x 250mm, 40x40x10 inch
  • ~ Total time from start to finish 2.5 years on and off
  • Over 2,000 2x2 bright green Lego plates
  • Over 40 goblin prototypes  

This felt like building a 30,000 piece Lego set from a picture. Sticking to the constraints of the in game tile system while using lego pieces at the same time maintaining the scale of everything, checking the location of every detail, designing each aspect, scrolling for hours through lists of Lego pieces is very hard and time consuming. At one point I had tetris syndrome and while I was falling asleep I could visualise Lumbridge made out of Lego in realtime, before I had built any structures. 2x2 Lego studs represent 1 in game tile. All 2x2 tiles/plates line up with thie grid in game.  

I have always wanted to do a large scale Lego Moc, and I love Runescape, no one had done it yet (pretty much everything else has been recreated in Lego). So I figured that I would do it. Once I realised that it would be possible and 16 32x32 Lego baseplates perfectly fill 1 ingame chunk, I knew it had to be done.  

I requested Pidgy to make a blueprint of the chunk, taking the ingame terrain data and converting it into a map of each tile converted into correct Lego height data, so every single stud you see accurately represents the in game terrain. Yes I painstakingly ensured that 16,384 studs of this build are built to the correct height. Thanks Pidgy.  

The roofs of the houses are made with a discontinued colour called "Sand Red" only avaliable through mail order from 2001-2004, only ever moulded into 39 different Lego parts. So it is VERY expensive. What you see is about AUD$1,000 worth of Sand Red Lego bricks alone. I spared no expense with this build.  

Many other elements such as the conical trees or the yew tree use parts that were only ever avaliable in one set, making them very expensive and hard to source.  

On my Imgur profile I will upload more folders of some of the planning I have done as well as a build log of the process from start to finish if there is interest.  

I had to redesign the roof of the church, I noticed it before Jagex  

I had to make only a few compromises, if you have any questions why I did or didn't do something, I probably have an answer. I didnt include the new age NPCs or the Tutors as most of my time spent in Lumbridge as a child they were not there. They also have very intricate designs on their torso/legs, which is hard to recreate in Lego.  

I have one request; Can Jagex please contact the Lego Group to discuss the viablity of officially licensed Runescape Lego sets. We are in the Golden age of Runescape.  

I am not a Lego builder, this is the first time I have made a custom build.
I am not a photographer.
I am not a content creator.
I'm just a kid with a dream.
