Author Topic: Player-size Tower Bridge  (Read 5190 times)

What if he didn't use the instructions?
The funny thing is that I didn't use the instructions.

Why is furdle mad he made a lego set? This game is about legos, of course someone would see if they could replicate it here.

...Oh also nice build, really like the design.


What exactly does the "Player-Size" in the title mean? I'm guessing from the pictures, but the street segment looks to be about 6 studs wide. An average Blockland lane is around 8-10 studs wide. The actual Tower Bridge has 2 lanes, which would equal roughly 18 studs. Also account for the very generously sized sidewalks on either side, I'm gonna say 2 people wide. A Blockhead being 4 studs wide, this adds 8 more studs to each side. This would add up to about 34 studs wide. This is a little less than 6 times the size of your current 6 stud wide street.

The next issue is the height. Google says the Tower Bridge is 213 feet tall. I have no idea if this is from street level up, sea level up, etc. I'm assuming Street Level because as you'll see shortly I doesn't matter much. Guessing the average Blockhead is 6 feet tall, this means the Tower Bridge is roughly 35 and a half Blockheads tall.



I'm not good at math but I'm pretty sure that's not thirty five.

As a lot of people are saying, this is extremely similar to the official Lego Set. The problem here is that Lego set is clearly a much smaller scale, using Lego Minifigs for reference. Blockheads and Lego Minifigures a very similar in size and scale. This means that, were this same set recreated in Blockland, it would still be much smaller than Blockhead scale.

Looks nice though good work.

Woah. As I said, I focused more on the details than the scale. I'm saying player-size as it isn't as large as the Golden Gate Bridge save.

He tries so hard to act like an "Internet badass."

I dont think furdle minds that it is a lego set, but what he meant is he thinks OP tried to take full credit for the build, rather than say it was inspired by the lego version

A Blockhead being 4 studs wide

Actually a blockhead is 3 studs wide

3 x 3 x 4 2/3 [4 normal bricks and 2 studs/plates]

I think they are actually 4 studs wide if you take their arms into consideration. They can fit in a 3x3 gap, but the shoulders/hands clip into the walls.

Congratulations, you tried to pass off a lego kit as your own.

Congratulations you're a cunt

The famous London landmark, the Tower Bridge, is now in Blockland. Based off the LEGO set. Built entirely by me, ChappersTeddy. And it took me long enough...

P.S - the reason I did it in the scale of a Blockhead was because I wanted to focus more on the details than the scale.
Hope you like this build!

Great Job With this! Ignore the others that HATE it. I Really Like it! Even though I don't have that set, I Like it anyways! Infact, I Have Lots of Legos Myself! Great Job my Man!
