LEGO Train Bridge Erected (Okay, Painted) In Germany

July 9, 2012 / artist, blocks, bridge, geometry, germany, i dunno -- angles and stuff, i see what you did there, i wear women's makeup so what?, illusion, lego, modular, one time i spraypainted 'peenor' on a bridge!, painting, painting things to look like other things, plastic, sure why not

This is a German train bridge painted by street artist 'Megx' to look like it was constructed out of giant LEGO bricks. Sure it's not as impressive as a train bridge actually made out of LEGO blocks, but I imagine train passengers wouldn't be too thrilled about that. Except me. I actually would be thrilled about that. *lifts hands over head like on a rollercoaster* Choo-choo -- LET'S DO THIS THING!

Hit the jump for a bunch more including some of the painting in progress.

Thanks to Stacey, who heard in Poland they actually did built a LEGO bridge with disastrous results. LOL, those Poles!

    I used to love legos as a child and this didn't excite me at all, I dont know what to say for myself...

    As any idiot knows, the bridge wouldn't bear any weight if it were built like it's painted out of Legos! As painted, the only structural member is the green deck. The rest of the pretty blocks are just dead weight. Obviously the artist did not spend any time building with Legos as a kid!

  • I like that. More bridges need to be prettied up.

  • and the Samurai/Ezio Auditore under the bridge?

  • Guest

    That is pretty clever, this is a great way to upgrade the bridge. :D

    When I drive under that thing I'll be looking at what a good paint job they did making the legos look so real, not at the road

  • GreyGanado

    Well, that's a shame that you don't know how to drive.
