Wel after one year of extensive building , glueing , painting and sculpturing the bridge diorama is near to its completion .
Today i poured in the resin water and al i have to do now is to finish some more figures .
Some notifications........
At first i made the water from transparent plasic sheet but due to the warm weather it bended on the model so i had to remove that .
Second : after some tips i gained from fellow modellers i did some alterations on the foliage besides en underneath the bridge .
On purpose i did NOT made pictures from the top ( That remains a secret )
First i give you this small preview ( Without the water ) that will follow i a few days..
Till then
Eric

And hold up your panties..........
Well, I am not wearing panties but if you would like me to I could hold up my boxer shorts. #:-)
Seriously, this is a really, really, really well built bridge. I hope you are going to explain how you built it. I would love to see some detailed instructions on that aspect of your dio.

Damn it looks good! From the look of the bridge I can understand why it's been a couple of years work. Can't wait to see what's on the bridge!
Cheers to your work!

Marty ,
Unfortunally i don't have any drawings how to build this bridge .
All i can offer you are these pics and my little grey cells .
The bridge is build from a spontane idea that came in to my head after a some internet surfing .
But i will try to write something down in time how to construct a bridge like this .
But i have to dig deep into my gray cells #:-)
First i will finish the dio and after that i shall try to offer you the article here at Armorama .
But for now you can visit this my internet site .
There on the left side is a small button : "OP TAFEL "
There you can find pictures of the construction of the bridge and more .
Unfortunally the pages are in Dutch but i think the pictures speaks for themselfs .
good hunting
Eric

Very impressive work Eric! The size and scope of the bridge is awesome. The tank which will sit on top is very nicey done. I really like the "human" touch or element that gets added to some of these dios. It breathes life into it.
Are you going to write up an article on the build? I know there are plenty here that would love to read it.
