Rickety Bridge

[scottie3158]

I am going to try and represent my M20 just passing over a wooden bridge that spans a small stream and a wide stream bed. It has been constructed from balsa and dowel. For the moment I have tried to show although not visible in the pictures the marks left by the bolts and nails used to construct it. I will try and find some small pins to represent them better later.

The reason for the bridge is I want tp practice taking my dio's up and not just flat scenes.




cheers
Scottie

Stunning work Paul.What was your inspiration? Was it a photo or a bridge nearby you?. Looks ideal for playing Pooh sticks. :smiling3: Looking forward to seeing the meandering stream underneath. Good luck with the rest of the dio

Steve, thanks mate its a mixture of pictures from the net and verlinden bridge but I think it was a bridge design that was built by German engineers.

Hi Scottie
That looks very nice indeed. Looking forward to the next steps. What glue do you use for wood?

Hi Paul, great work on the bridge it doesn't look very rickety to me. I suspect you have a cunning plan :tongue-out2:. Will keep a eye on this one.

Does indeed look like German engineer work. A fine job. Sometimes a Sharpie does fine for nails/screws. They just need a touch of red/brown rust streak on verticals if older. PaulE
