Now railings in place and water in ditch poured. First time I have used realistic water by woodland scenics. Let me know what you think

Your dio looks great thus far. Where is the bridge from? Is that a plaster kit or resin?

Bridge wall comes from a very old Verlinden wharf element kit and the cobblestone road I built up with a styrofoam block and used some old cobblestone road from a Dutton kit. Both of them are ceramic

It looks really good. I do like the water, will be asking advice on that one soon.

I like it. You've got a great start.
Couple of thoughts/points - the wall is a bit clean compared to the cobbles. I'd add more dark wash to the mortar lines. Might add a bit of grit and grime to the tops of the vertical braces.
Noticed that the middle rung on the back rail doesn't touch, you might bend it down slightly to give it a worn out look.
I like the rust coming down from the connection points.
The water came out very well.

Very nice.

Scott , I agree the walls my need a little more definition but the camera flash washed them out a bit. Good eye on the railing, I was going to replace it but decided to cover it with a sign saying something like SEDAN 20km. I'm building a Panzer II Ausf.c to go on the bridge .Plan to mark it as part of Rommels 7th panzer in France 1940

waterboy - good point on the flash - indoor photos can be a pain sometimes.

Sounds like you've got a good plan going. Keep it up.
