Micropolis Monday: Canal Junction

I didn’t want my canal to just be a straight line through my city, so I planned for it to split. Of course, that meant I needed more bridges. All of that lead to an even bigger module…

front

The bridges are the only real features on this module, but I designed them to be distinct from each other and the other bridge that I built. Some of the features were dictated by the parts that I had on hand, though I did have to place BrickLink orders for blue tiles for all that water!

back

I like how different the approaches are for each bridge, as well as the stairs that lead down to the esplanade.

plan

It’s a simple build, but four times the size of most of my other canal modules. It was too big for my light box or the sheets of paper that I normally use for a backdrop. I need to invest in some better photo tools.

Keep building and enjoy!
