This tutorial follows up on our recent Mottled Stone Wall Tutorial<\/a>, to finish a combination wood and stone bridge.<\/p>\n

Working off of the previous stonework base, you start by adding some reddish brown plates and arches. The plate modified with clip\/handle assembly in the front will be used to attach a ramp for the bridge.<\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/p>\n

That assembly hooks onto the bottom of the reddish brown 1×8 plates and fits over the slot with cheese slope.<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/p>\n

Then you can attach a 6×8 plate in the color of your choice, and tile it with various length reddish brown tiles to give a nice wood plank effect.<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/p>\n

A 1×6 plate with cheese on the front will be used to\u00a0smooth the transition between the sloped section and flat top of the bridge.<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/p>\n

Next we will continue making the bridge longer.<\/p>\n

\"6\"<\/p>\n

The first thing we’ll need to make is a stone pier. Which consists of a 2×6 plate base, with some sloped sections attached on the sides, and SNOT portion capping the ends.<\/p>\n

\"9\"<\/p>\n

Here is the breakdown of the end caps. 4×6 wedge slopes fit nicely over the standard plates and wedge plates shown.<\/p>\n

\"10\"<\/p>\n

The wedge slopes give a nice tapering form to the piers, which is then matched by the sloped 6×6 plate and tile sections.<\/p>\n

\"11\"<\/p>\n

Like such.<\/p>\n

\"12\"<\/p>\n

And a 1×8 plate attaches to the brick round stacks.<\/p>\n

\"14\"<\/p>\n

Standard plate building then locks the pier firmly in place with the rest of the bridge.<\/p>\n

\"7\"<\/p>\n

And you repeat that pattern for the desired length.<\/p>\n

\"8\"<\/p>\n

I was very pleased with how the geometry of these piers worked out, and would like to use some similar designs on buildings in the future.<\/p>\n

\"15\"<\/p>\n

\"16\"<\/p>\n

\"17\"<\/p>\n

After capping everything with a final layer of plates you will have a nice flat platform for tiles that matches up nicely with the ramp built before.<\/p>\n

\"18\"<\/p>\n

Then all that’s left is adding a railing!<\/p>\n

\"19\"<\/p>\n

I went with a simple design of telescopes and tiles for this example.<\/p>\n

\"21\"<\/p>\n

As usual, feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions on the design, or if you have any other designs you would like to see a tutorial on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
