Mini Bay Bridge

Post by Remyth »

Hello!

During a break from my Market project, I decided to make a continuation of my Mini Harbor. This section is a river-mouth with a bridge over it. The bridge I built a long time ago, and just now found a good use for it. Well, I'll stop the suspence...

Here it is!

This is very impressive. I like the ingenuity you have when it comes to piece selection. The boat is cleverly done with the tile for a sail. I can't tell what you used for the bridge, but whatever it is, it is very well done.

Very nice bridge and harbor. I only have about four of those pieces (plus one in black), but I'd use this if I could.

Thanks!

The boat is a very old design of mine. I've used it is 4 MOCs now.

This is the peice I used for the bridge.

Great Thomas! The bridge is a great use for that part, and I like that you've added to an already made mini-MOC.

Very tight design. I think it's a great idea to feature one main detail in each small section. We should work on the whole castle when I come home...

The bridge looks a little too big, but who cares. Great Job!

Thanks! I've kept that harbor built for a reason. :wink:

Yes, we should. I am looking at buying some of the parts I need.

Thank you. The bridge is supposed to be big. It is a very large bridge. That ship is supposed to be a large commercial vessel.

Oh. I thought it was suppose to be a little wooden bridge. You know, When the big kiss between a prince and a princess.

You analized that technique well. You just inspired me with a great idea. By the way, the bridge rules!

Creative use of that piece! Very nice. You must have been inspired by all that majestic spans over the John Day River :wink:

Those 2x2 round pillars look unfinished, but other than that, it looks brilliant!

Thanks! I know the towers look a little unfinished, but I couldn't figure out a way to make them look better. I might try some more things here in a while.

Thanks to everyone!

Nice work! Although it looks more micro than mini to me, but that's just my opinion.

I must try this sort of thing!

Hmm... I guess it could be considered micro. It is very, very small.

Try it! Try it and show us the result!
