For once I've managed to keep to a target for posting! Below you can see a group shot of the more recently constructed buildings that I'll be posting on. This time though, I'll tell you what they are!
At the back is a
World Works Games' Swift Scenics range Office Block, in the centre front is a
Finger and Toe Models' Multi-Story [sic] Warehouse and that is flanked by two
Stoelzel’s Structures The Cottage. Unfortunately, the last three do not have (yet!) finished roofs ... As threatened, the BTD British section is deployed to the front.
I tried to get the pictures for the first building post as well last night, but was having real problems with lighting :( As it was only bridges that I used for the test shots, I thought I'd post them anyway, so here they are - again with the infantry included
Both bridges in the pics were constructed from
Dave Graffam Models' Covered Bridge. As with all DGM products, the 'layers' included in the files allow for a wide variety of finished models.
I think that I'll be making at least one more bridge from this set - a 1" wide wooden bridge with a stepped approach (as you see in the pics, both of these have ramps) to use as a footbridge.
I made both of these with 5mm foamcore, except for the ramp surfaces and vertical sides of the brick bridge which used 2mm mounting board.
The kit includes layers for cobblestone, wooden, medieval brick, victorian brick and stone bridges, but
no tarmac surface. Also the only sides included are wooden, but I reckon you could make brick or stone sides from the bridge surface. It's set up for 2" wide bridges, but again I think you can make wider bridges without much difficulty. In fact, I think I'll have a go at that myself at some point!
Finally for this post, thanks to all of you who've made such supportive comments on these recent posts - they are both very much appreciated and very helpful - thanks guys!
