Hello,
Here's another creation from last November, probably my favorite. I was surprised there weren't more contest submissions along this lines (this was an idea I'd had some time ago and forgotten about until CCC4 came along). My favorite part is the bridge pilings, but in general I feel this came out cleaner than most of my creations. Enjoy,
Kenn

It's all about the pilings

It's...so...beautiful.
I have wanted to try to build something like this, like London Bridge c. 1600. You have so marvelously captured the mixture of stone and timber and hodegepodge of buildings that existed on the bridge.
I was stunned by the reveals. The whoie side of the gate tower comes off I get but how about a photo of how the other reveals happen? Do they hinge out or just come off the side?
Very nice looking buildings and the details are fun. The kid trying to fish to box out of the water, the scumbag drinking under the bridge.
Well done.

Unbelievable creation. Everything about it is excellent.

Hi. Thanks for the kind replies. With regards to the reveal, the the right side of the bridge is built on two 16x32 baseplates that pull away entirely. I have some more photos I thought I'd posted, but I guess I didn't. As for the somewhat random colors, that's more or less intentional. Partly, I want the buildings to look like they've been added randomly over time, and partly I just like lego creations that take advantage of a variety of colors.
Thanks again,
Kenn
Thanks again,

I also wanted to do an inhabited bridge for the CCC, but wasn't able to enter at all due to being separated from my pieces. This is a great version though. I really like it, especially the pilings!
God Bless,

Isn't this what London Bridge used to look like?
I remember seeing a show about it and back in either the Middle Ages or Renaissance, it looked like that. A large stone causeway with buildings on top of it.

You'll see my (very late) version as soon as I get a certain Bricklink order.KennDoubleN2 wrote:I was surprised there weren't more contest submissions along this lines
Anyway, I think this was my favorite. It's very much more realistic than the one I'm working on (mine's more fantasy oriented), and I like that. Great job with the pilings.
