I have decided to continue practicing going up and giving my builds some depth. First I just thought of doing a cobbled street with a brick wall. Then I thought of a bridge.

Construction has started and the basic form has been constructed from the last of my blue foam. It is all pinned together at the moment and needs dressing up when all the glue has dried.

Thanks for looking as always

I'm in, looks great even at this early stage.

Oh, and because I'm a social media slave - "First" :smiling5:
 
This is where I need to improve- my presentation! A really good idea to give a small subject a degree of elevation, and plenty of scope for your gardening skills Scottie! It’ll be a cracker, I have little doubt :thumb2:

Thanks Bones, Hope your faith in me is justified.
 
Looking forward to this Scottie. Your observation and modelling of the natural world are second to none.
 
Hi Paul, now that is just something else, brilliant.
Will will be watching with interest .

Sorry Bro, but I don't think the acupuncture is going to make the bridge any better. Was it in pain? I think your work is always great anyway and what happened to Michael???

Thanks for your concern it is feeling a lot better now. Michael is waiting in the wings.
 
That's looking good Paul, although I was kinda expectin' to see a humungous suspension bridge from your title!:smiling:

I'm with Dave , thought you'd bought a job lot of Evergreen sections and was thinking that's going to take some time ! :smiling2::smiling2:
 
Well now Paul the Humber Bridge. It is in the family.

My Uncle is Alderman Laurie Johnson. Born & died in Hull. Served over 50 years on the Kingston upon Hull
Council.

His greatest achievement. He was in charge of the building of the Humber Bridge. He was there at the opening
& to his greatest day met & talked to the Queen.

Crossed the Humber twice on this bridge. First the right way to visit my Gran. Second time missed turning & ran
over the Humber bridge back down south.

So there we are Paul my Humber Bridge history.

Laurie
