Description

A bridge as a challenge

Bridges are a classic building problem, since they must carry loads and span gaps. The Master Builder Academy uses the subject to teach structural principles. The instructions show step by step how a stable structure comes together, then invite you to modify it. Level Three assumes you already know the basics from the earlier stages and challenges you with more complex building sections along the way. You learn how forces are spread and why a bridge without tidy connections soon begins to wobble.

Grey, black and brown

Dark and light bluish grey and black dominate, with reddish brown added. The colours recall old stone bridges and timber beams and suit a gloomy, mysterious place. The different greys make the masonry look alive, while reddish brown adds warmth. Without a minifigure the structure stands entirely on its own, which tends to appeal to collectors who prefer architecture to figures. That suits a place whose name already warns that you should not really step onto it.

220 pieces, lots of variety

The box holds 220 pieces in 67 different parts. For the size that is a high variety and points to many special shapes needed for arches, railings and slopes. The finished model is therefore more detailed than the piece count would suggest. If you reuse the parts for buildings of your own later, you instantly have a small assortment of shapes for walls and bridges to hand. Arches and slopes, which are rarely needed elsewhere, get their own dedicated parts here.

Check, collect, build on

The complete parts list on this page shows every colour and quantity. That is especially useful when buying second hand, as older kits often have pieces missing. The “What can I build?” tool shows which other models you can make from your stock together with this bridge. That keeps the learning set a useful part of your collection once the build is finished. You can also see at a glance how common each grey is and sort your bricks accordingly.
