I’m not 100% sure what you meant — do you already own those sets, or are you asking whether you need to buy the Wither Skeleton set, Nether Ambush set and Blaze Bridge set to build a LEGO-scale Minecraft blaze bridge that fits on a 40×40 stud baseplate?
Quick answer
- You don’t strictly need all three sets. The Blaze Bridge set (or the bricks from it) will give you the most relevant pieces and minifig/mob elements. The Nether Ambush set is useful if you want extra netherrack/blackstone bricks and more terrain detail. The Wither Skeleton set is only necessary if you specifically want wither skeleton figures or a lot of dark/grey parts.
- If your goal is a custom display bridge on a 40×40 baseplate, you can build it from one Blaze Bridge set plus a handful of extra bricks (or buy parts individually). If you want a very large or highly detailed bridge, add Nether Ambush parts or source extra bricks from BrickLink/BrickOwl/Brickset.
Before I give a step‑by‑step plan and a small parts list, please tell me:
1) Which scale are you building to? (micro Minecraft figs / minifigure scale / custom)
2) Do you want it to sit centered on the 40×40 plate or span across it end‑to‑end?
3) Do you want functional elements (removable sections, lava glow, blazes that "float") or just a static display?
If you want to start now, here’s a simple plan and parts estimate for a micro/Minecraft minifig style blaze bridge that fits comfortably on a 40×40 base:
Simple layout (fits well on 40×40)
- Orientation: bridge runs across the middle of the plate, length ~30 studs so you have scenery on each end.
- Walkway width: 4–6 studs (micro/Minecraft scale).
- Supports: 2–3 arch supports/pillars under the bridge spaced evenly.
- Lava trough under/alongside bridge: 4–6 studs wide, use trans-orange/transparent tiles and round studs for “lava.”
- Blaze spawner areas: one or two small pedestals on the bridge with trans‑orange flame elements or clear discs + orange studs to simulate the blaze fire.
- Railings: use 1x bar/fence pieces or 1x1 round studs spaced as little posts.
Suggested parts (approximate — mix and match colors to taste)
- Dark bluish gray / black bricks & plates: 80–150 pieces (for bridge, arches, supports)
- Dark tan / brown / reddish bricks or 1x1 round tiles: 30–50 (for details/netherrack patches)
- Trans-orange / trans-yellow tiles and studs: 30–60 (lava and blaze fire)
- Flame elements (minifig flame or 1x1 flame elements): 6–12 (for blazes)
- Bar/clip elements and 1x1 round studs for railings and blaze bodies: 20–40
- 2×2 round plates/tiles, slopes, and 1x2 tiles for texture: 40–80
Buying advice
- If you want the official themed look and minifig/microfigs, buy the Blaze Bridge set first. It usually contains the blaze elements and a bridge/walkway style you can copy or expand.
- Buy Nether Ambush if you want more terrain bricks, netherrack/blackstone colors and extra small detail parts.
- Skip the Wither Skeleton set unless you want that specific mob or need a lot of dark grey/black pieces.
- For best value/variety, buy extra color bricks and flames from BrickLink or BrickOwl instead of buying multiple full sets.
If you tell me scale (micro vs minifig), whether you want instructions or a parts list by exact piece, and whether you already own any of those sets, I’ll give a step‑by‑step build guide or a precise parts list tailored to the 40×40 baseplate.
