Small Bridge

[Dragon Master]

Hmmm, well maybe if the horses layed down and the knights helped by spreading their arms and legs it could work as a bridge. Nope, I just ain't seein' it. A group of knights is not a bridge!

Just kidding!!!!!!!!!! I love the little bridge, how'd ya do it?!?!?!?!?!?!

I just built a quick copy of this, and though it's very neat, I must say that it is not very sturdy. The problem, of course, is not with the arches, but with the plates, which are not supported from underneath in any way. The 2-wide plate isn't much of a problem. It stays in pretty well unless you press pretty hard. The 1-wide plates pop out pretty easily, and if you intend to stand a minifig on them, I suggest that you support the plate from underneath with your finger.
Just be grateful that there are no fat minifigs. They wouldn't stand a chance crossing this bridge.

I'm Back! Thanks for all of your replies .

Is the bridge sturdy, or would the beams fall down if you tried pushing a minifig down onto one of the studs?

The bridge is sturdy, but if you put a minifig on it and you push too hard it will collapse. The best solution to stop the bridge from collapsing is to use a finger to support the bridge while you place a minifig on the bridge. Also, the two stud wide plank at the center of the bridge is the sturdiest part of it.

It's just a simple bridge, so don't go nuts analyzing it . I now need to read what I missed in the past two weeks and find some time to make my MOC cards for
Brickfest (I'll do them Lenny, I promise ).
