Campaman Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 For anyone interested the details of the build are that I built it as the instructions apart from I modified the bridge deck height as this will be positioned under my already built track bed.Its mounted to a piece of 3mm mdf the road surface is from the kit, the pavement is just grey card from the back of a A4 pad cut into scale 3 x 2 slabs with kerb stones from a lighter grey card, all laid individually.The grass banks were built up by card contours then a light covering of ready mixed filler.When dry, sieved real soil through a tea strainer is applied followed by static grass from my fly swatter applicator, a few pieces of lichen covered in scatter for the bushes and a few teases of hanging basket liner for some long tufts.I may add a lamp post and a bit more detail before installing on the layout.I like to do most of my structures as a small module that I can then blend in once installed.

Chubber Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 This kit teaches you (me at least) that the angled cut between the front face of the bridge wall and the capping stones of the wing walls is nothing like you imagine it should be...

Campaman Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 I know what you mean with the angles doug, it was hardly "Bravely Done" more like just luck. The first time I built this kit each wing wall went off at a different angle, with this one I marked out on the base board where each one was to go so that I knew when I had them right, three went in the bin :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubber Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yup! In the end I made three lots of capping stone because in my cock-sure [RLW state-of -mind] way I thought I'd only need 1/2" extra on each one to 'fettle' it.... D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
