Par Station in N Gauge - Bridging the gap (2)

Good evening all,

 

I have been making some progress over the last week or so with the footbridge for Par station. I have still to find a suitable mesh to complete the side railings on the steps up to the bridge and I am hoping that I will find something that will work well when I visit the Warley show at the NEC in Birmingham in a couple of weeks.

 

The footbridge ends are now complete, the second end being a complete nightmare to build as the structure somehow would not glue together straight and I ended up ripping it apart and starting again.

 

The main structure is now complete (almost) and I may have a bash at applying some rivet transfers (as per TomE's water tower on Ropley) as I feel this would add a new dimension to the bridge.

Once this is done. I will then paint the footbridge black and then add the mesh.

 

Below are a few shots of the footbridge, it's not perfect but I feel it's becoming a fair representation of the real structure. As always, all comments are most welcome.

I sympathise with you. I have lost count of the times I have had to redo things.

If it doesn't look quite right, always best to start again.

Thanks Andy. I'm hoping to get this the footbridge finished in the next few weeks. Then I can turn my attention back to the station building and hopefully finish all the little details.
