Scribed the other side but only down to where the road bed is... and took a blurry photo of it.


Fun with a protractor for the arch stones...


Rough cut...


Et voila!

Thanks folks.

Had a further bash at this. Did some buttresses...


Stuck 'em on...


Filling the arch, great fun, deffo not doing texture and stones under the arch as it won't be seen...


Starting on the capping stones...


Starting to get "Build blindness" with all this white on white you eventually can't see how it's going so really looking forward to sealing this with primer and having it spring to life again.

Thanks guys.  ;)

Textured, scribed and attached the capping stones...


Also filled underneath those to make for easy casting, I'll cast this for the other half, tried to do it so it sits in the shadow and isn't immediately obvious...


One thing which bugs me about a lot of bridges in 6mil is how they're often too narrow to put a base of troops on, I'm aiming at fitting a 40mil base. Hence the length of the span. A short and wide bridge wouldn't look quite right, this will have correct proportions so be acceptable to the eye, well mine at least.

Really looming good so far. Great idea to cast two halves.
