10214 Tower bridge turned into a modular building

[Gongoro73]

Hi everybody,

I'm thinking in purchase the 10214 Tower Bridge and turn it into a modular building MOC. It would be my first attempt to build my own MOC. I'm not interested on the set itself, but I feel that has a lot of possibilities to switch it into a nice building. My question are: has anybody attempted this? Any examples? Do you think it's a good choice to start with?

Thanks in advance!

That's a cool idea. This is the best that I could find:

Thanks so much, Agent 86, interesting building.

I found this today, from french builder Hugo Santos:

THe Hugo Santos version is superb. I wish he had some more photos still available.

I did this just recently. It was a great way to get tan pieces and a wonderful roof line.

Yeah, that's really a shame. I'll try to contact him, I would love to see more pics of the details and interiors.

Hugo Santos is not French, he's Portuguese. I know him well. But contacting him won't help, as he didn't build this - he just posted it to Rebrick (just read the description). The building was made by Mr_No - who IS French... ;)

Oh, OK, thanks so much L@go!

I'll try to contact Mr_No, then ;)

I have this set sealed in box still. I like the official set and would want to build it sometime. I hadn't even considered using the pieces to turn it into a Modular building. Seeing those examples above, very interesting idea and very well done MOCs. Now I have some thinking to do if I should follow suit or just stick to official version. Thanks for the inspiration.

is there free instructions on how to build that castle?

[LegoManTroy]

It isn't a bad castle. The only problem I would have with turning the tower bridge into a Modular Building is the fact that it probably would not fit in the sequence. See, with old English architecture mixed in with modern, more plain architecture wouldn't feel right. I don't know, I guess it's just my opinion.

Sorry no instructions. I revamped this and used most of the pieces to turn it into this:

I highly recommend the tower bridge set to create MOCs.

Very impressive
