Constructing a LEGO Tower Bridge!

YouTube

On September 28th, near Birmingham, we proudly revealed our record-breaking LEGO Tower Bridge, built for Land Rover's unveiling of the new Discovery! To celebrate the occasion, we at Bright Bricks have put together a short animation to take you through the stages of constructing such a huge model, with a bit of fun added in.

This is predominantly stop-motion, so I figured it was okay to post it. Recently I've been working for a LEGO certified professional, running their social media outlets, and this is the first animation I have produced for them.

Some facts about the giant Tower Bridge model:

  • Total number of bricks: 5,805,846

  • Total weight of bricks: over 14 tonnes

  • Total height 13+ metres

  • Total length: 40+ metres

  • No. of builders: up to 24 at one point

Man hours: just over 12,000

UPDATE

I am so incredibly proud to be able to say that the animation was featured on Brothers Brick! Really couldn't be happier to see my work blogged there, been a longtime reader of the site, and so grateful for their kind words about it too.

There's some cool stuff here. All of the building scenes were handled really well. Not to mention that the model is incredible, too.
