Hi all
I have had a go at rhe plaster of paris way,
Coat bridge let dry and then score the stones in,done a little damage to wall.
Will be making the wooden snow cover to rin along the wall of the bridge.
Quite pleased so far hope it will look better when i paint it ...lol lol any feed back would be great.
Cheers Chris

I've been to Burnsides Bridge. I don't think I have any pics. It looks about how I remember it. Good job

Looking good so far Chris! The covering and scribing will turn out nicely when painted.
The only advice I can give you is to cover the visible foam. This stuff really melts if it comes in contact with glues or thinners. Just cover with the same stuff again, and roll up a small ball of tin-foil and push it into the wet plaster to give realistic damage appearance! Even seive some fine sand and small stones onto it. Also dont forget to scribe the inside walls of the bridge as well!

Looks good so far, a lot better than my own attempt (which ended up in the bin after i trod on it).
When you next photo it, can you put a figure on the bridge as it looks pretty big.
Thanks Andy
