Hello all, keeping with my recent LEGO exploration, I decided to have a go at making a more architectural set taking heavy inspiration from LEGO's architecture line. I decided to go for the Medieval London Bridge as I found the original drawings and sketches fascinating with the town on top of the bridge, peaking my interest. Fitting with the architecture theme, I made a scaled model of the Medieval bridge, showing off the shamble-like buildings that were built on top of it.
The era of Medieval London consisted of Favela-like buildings that seemed to grow over the top of each other and even bridges didn't escape this development!
This particular piece shows off London Bridge at it's most populated with buildings reaching unsafe heights leading to their eventual removal, but with LEGO I was able to recreate this incredible era of London.
I designed this particular set with modularity in mind, as I wanted a level of customization to allow possible builders the ability to customise the bridge. With is in mind, I designed the bridge to be separated into multiple pieces, allowing builders to swap parts around. I designed half the bridge, with the idea that if LEGO was ever to release the set, the builder could purchase two of the same set and combine them into one long stretch of bridge, I have designed the main build plate to be combined into one long stretch with very few steps.
Thank you for reading.
