BSC2020 6milPhil "A Bridge too small (or is it far away?)"
« on: 04 January 2020, 02:38:25 PM »
Making a bridge, and starting with what I think is the hardest part, the arch. Found some plumbing pipe which is the perfect diameter, but then sussed what a pain it was to cut it with any real accuracy, so cut some 1mm styrene instead and used the pipe as a former and solidified it by adding milliput.



Exciting, eh?

Got myself a chunk of 3mm foamed pvc and marked out the shape of the bridge, and guidelines for the stonework on both sides...




Basically textured it, I'll add more as I go.


Scribed the stonework

Thanks. It's based on what is now quite a rare style of stone bridge. The ones which survive are typically foot bridges and it's because of their light traffic and remoteness that some have survived, thankfully.




The most famous one is probably the Mostar bridge, which you might recall suffered heavy damage during the Yugoslav wars, although it doesn't have as sharp a peak.

Great start  8)

Quite reminds me of the Bridge Over The Atlantic on the West Coast of Scotland.

Cool texturing.  But I cannot tell the difference!
