One question - how do you cut the curves for the bridge rails?

Thank you very much for the comment. The video has English subtitles, it may have errors but they can help you.
To cut it in curve is a bit laborious:
First I drew a circle with the curvature I want for the bridge. Then I cut it on the "Proxxon" using the curved cutting tool, but if you don't have it you can make a template out of paper or cardboard and use it as a guide to cut. And then I make the same cut but with a smaller diameter and so I get a strip of the thickness I need.
Is easier than it looks like. It can also be cut with a cutter, but you have to do it very slowly and then sand the surface a little so that it is very smooth and with the perfect curve.

Thank you very much!!!
