chuckie8646 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone, So for weeks I've been thinking how I could replicate the Olympic Rings on Tower bridge. So this is what i came up with. Olympic Rings Close up by chuckie8646, on Flickr It may not be the greatest and most elaborate replica but it seems to look to scale on the Tower bridge model. Thanks for looking Charlie Edited July 23, 2012 by Ricecracker Deeplinked image Quote
Vindicare Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Great job. Don't think it could've been any better. Quote
streifen Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 when I saw the real 5-rings on the Tower Bridge, I was thinking if anyone will do that in LEGO. You made my dream come true. Instead of the white plate behind, are you able to replace with trans-clear plates? if so, the effect will be better though yours is ! Quote
chuckie8646 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Thanks for all the nice comments. I was going to do trans coloured bricks but I didn't have the right sized ones :( maybe when I go to a Lego store if they have them I'll get some Charlie Quote
Hiawatha Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 A very nice addition on the bridge! I agree, excellent idea. Quote
TAFOL Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 First of all, nice MOD. I really like the simplicity of it, yet it looks terrifically realistic. Thanks for all the nice comments. I was going to do trans coloured bricks but I didn't have the right sized ones :( maybe when I go to a Lego store if they have them I'll get some Good luck with that. Seeing as you've used a 2x4 and a 1x4 plate to hold the rings (round plates 2x2) into place, I'm guessing you may want to use Bricklink for this (as the trans-clear plate 1x4 was last used in 1977 and the trans-clear plate 2x4 was last used in 1986 in an official set).

seahorsy Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Nice!!! I would love to see the team GB olympic lego mini figures standing on top of the bridge! Nice!!! I would love to see the team GB olympic lego mini figures standing on top of the bridge! Quote
jonwil Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Nice job. Just dont let the IOC see it or they might sue you (you might laugh at that point but given some of the insane things the IOC does to protect the Olympics brand...) Quote
RaincloudDustbin Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 How about building Bond's chopper as well? Quote
The Blue Brick Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Very nice and simple MOD. It looks great. Quote
chuckie8646 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Wow again thanks for all the comments I really appreciate them. I havnt had any luck so far with the trans coloured bricks but I think the white bricks will do for now. Man if the IOC had a problem with this then that would be ridiculous but I agree that do some weird stuff to protect the Olympics I will put the GB Figs on top once I have them all (I only have three so far but ill work on getting the rest and take a pic OMG!!!! Bonds chopper with a custom made queen fig jumping out LOL!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: Man i think I'm going to have to work on that lol Again thanks for all the kinds words and ideas Charlie Edited July 29, 2012 by chuckie8646 Quote
