        Just caught up with this gem!

        See, if I tried to make a bridge with a crooked handrail, it'd look exactly like I hadn't taken enough care with my build. Yours looks totally natural as if someone's carried out a hasty repair job.

        Why can't I get the same effect???:loudly-crying::loudly-crying::loudly-crying::loudly-crying::loudly-crying:

          I couldn't even photograph a real scene to look that realistic!

              Looking very good Ron, and I myself would keep the tree in the water. But it's your build.

                    Thanks to all for your great and rather embarrassing posts. Totally unjustified, but great reading none the less!.... :smiling4::smiling4:

                    I've made a start on the 'Ice' using polyfilla (Other parrot orifice fillers are available) ... :flushed:

                    I'm trying to get a balance between the slowly thawing ice, the disturbance caused by the armour crossing the river and the reflections, particularly as I don't want to loose too much of the latter.

                    Here's the ice so far....

                          Hi Ron
                          I would never have thought that Polyfilla could be used for ice.
