Many thanks for the compliments guys, as soon as I get a half descent camera I will take some better pictures, and thanks for the suggestions I will give the fence extension some thought Ron & also Colin's idea of more small pebbles around the rocks. The bridge will also be on my workbench.

Just to let you know I have put up another thread "testing the water"

Hi All latest instalment. Just finished the scratch build bridge, some minor adjustments required and some weathering. The shell of the German armoured car was for scale comparison.

Now the search for the intended armour begins. And many thanks to Colin for his help today.

Fantastic bridge Jim!!!

Glad i was able to point you in the right direction.

That bridge is really neat and tidy .... might have to try a 35th scale job myself at some time.

Thanks chaps, As Phalinmegob said "there a piece of cake", and I took his advice regarding the superglue worked a treat.

just needs roughing up a bit to make it look old and used. another hint that may be of use,i built two originally,the first was painted and it looked awfull. on the one that got uesd i just made a greyish wash(oil paint and white spirit) and slobbered it all over. the end results was much better as the bits of grain show through and make some random knots with sharp pencil.

Been watching from the sidelines Jim, but thought I'd add my tuppence worth on this cracking looking dio. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
