Asper Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Hello, One of the first things I built as an AFOL was a bridge made of blue old LEGO track. I know that the idea to use the blue LEGO track is not new - I think I have seen this in some of the old LEGO idea books. Now it took some years to "finish" it and make this small diorama to present the bridge. At the end of the 19th centuries they built these beautiful portals for train bridges - I like them very much - so I wanted them on my bridge, too. (larger images can be found in the flickr album) Hope you like it, Steffen Quote
*thomas* Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 This is just great, love all the small details that give a romantic feel to it. Quote
legoman666 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Creative use of the old blue track to create the arch. Quote
detjensrobert Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 The bridge is A-FREAKIN-MASING! That is one detailed diorama! Do tell about the Adler too! Quote
Vorkosigan Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Beautiful! Like the use of the 1x1 with spike for a shield, did a double take on that one. Overall just really detailed. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 This is just great, love all the small details that give a romantic feel to it. I agree, I can feel those canoes sailing with serenity ...lovely work! Quote
zephyr1934 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 That is fantastic, the bridge, the train, the presentation, all of it. Quote
dr_spock Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Fantastic scene and details. Edited February 16, 2015 by dr_spock Quote
Pizzareno Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Very, very nice. Do you have more pictures of the train that is on the bridge? Quote
Feuer Zug Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Very nice all around. The weight test is cool as well. Tells me the bridge will hold a loaded train as it passes through the idyllic scenery. Even the ancient steamer fits. Quote
Asper Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Very, very nice. Do you have more pictures of the train that is on the bridge? Thank you. The train is an old MOC from 2010. You can find more on flickr or on brickshelf (on brickshelf there is even kind of an instruction) Quote
ManInATopHat Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I love the mixture of a classical "London Bridge" portal combined with the slightly more modern suspension bridge. Beautiful details you've added to liven up the scene, especially those canoes. The trees also look great. Overall, amazing build. Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Totally AWESOME bridge......with a delightful scene. Brick On 'Asper' ! Quote
Man with a hat Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 That's a great bridge. fantastic work. Nice concept to use a classic style with those gates at each end. And you put a lot a nice details there as well. Quote
GSD Jerrys Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 How have you made the grass at the end of the bridge slope like that Quote
Asper Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Thank you all for your kind feedback! Quote
GallardoLU Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 wonderful bridge, as other have said there are so many amazing little details that just make things feel that much more alive. there is a very similar bridge near me and this has all of the charm that the real bridge near me has always had. I am curious though, is there a plan to incorporate this bridge into a larger layout? I ask because I can only imagine the wonder that would be contained in that layout of the bridge were a small part of it. Quote
