The Burrard Street Bridge!
I was tinkering with building a bridge and then I got overrun with inspiration! This is officially my first official original MOC. Weighing in at just over 6000 bricks. Sadly I'm about 5500 bricks short to actually build it, but would love to build it. Perhaps for a forth coming show. Picture it with hundreds of Minifigs on it for the Sun Run!
TO make sure this build would work, I brick built several parts although colors didn't match. This is a solid bridge! All parts are available to build this, but pricing on Bricklink put the price well over $2000. If anyone has a large assortment of tan or Dark Orange bricks for sale at a reasonable rate, I may be interested. I also am watching the PAB wall as some of the Tan parts I need have popped up there a few times before.
Who knows, maybe it will become a reality by 2018!

Awesome, but that looks like it will be one big *ss model! What are the stud dimensions?

Re: The Burrard Street Bridge!
It's 44x100 (mostly fits on two 48x48 base plates) It would have to be for a big show. Pretty much Minifig scale. I'm thinking a great model to promote the SunRun one day.Bricksky wrote:Awesome, but that looks like it will be one big *ss model! What are the stud dimensions?

Re: The Burrard Street Bridge!
I'm not familiar with that. I built this one myself from nothing but actual images of the bridge and lots of testing with the bricks I do have.timtosino wrote:This the Mayor Moonbeam Version?

I knew there was another reason Sarah wanted to add bicycles to the LUGBulk.timtosino wrote:I meant is this Gregor Robertson's (Mayor Moonbeam) vision of the Burrard St Bridge with no vehicular traffic and all bikes?

Haha! Yeah! Okay now I follow! I'd need a major WHEELS order from LugBulk to make it realistic!
