Hello, I've been a lurker for a while but this is my first post.

Freshly emerged from my dark age I have put together what is my first
Lego creation in a number of years as well as my first major castle creation.
Being the start of a series of structures I thought I would throw it out to • the
public so I might get tips for the next project.

I was going to build a castle and thumbed thru architecture books for ideas.
However, the images of fortified bridges caught my eye.

The bridge consist of two arch spans and two defensive towers.  The structure
uses mostly light gray bricks from the early castle sets though the landscape
uses newer pieces.  The towers are identical and each include a portculus,
living space, and a lookout post.  The bridge was built to monitor river and
road traffic.  Either tower can block unwanted traffic from passing and
likewise the bridge can be used to block unwanted ships from passing. • Guarding
the bridge are my favorite Lego figs, the Black Falcons.

Thanks for looking!

Wow, that's great David.  Very realistic, almost like you took a pictures, and
modeled from that.  Keep up the great work.  Is there a gate that comes down,
locking the bridge from one side or another?
