I don't know what impresses me more, the delightful lack of symmetry in the approach walls or those orange trousers...  lol

It may be big, but most bridges in real life are pretty huge structures, even the 'small' ones, so aside from storage challenges, I'd say you're on the right track! The bridge looks awesome already, even befor prettification.

Also; good to see you're taking safety during terrain construction seriously and wear hi-viz clothing  :D
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I suspect the trews were originally white or tan and Irn Bru was spilt upon them.

Impressive looking bridge.

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Hey! They are all the rage now! Kids will be wearing these in the streets soon! ;)

I suspect the trews were originally white or tan and Irn Bru was spilt upon them.

Impressive looking bridge.

Na! They were white, it’s just my Missus rubbed up against me with her fake tan! :)

Anywho, the bridge is finished.

I raised it up from the original small bridge and put it on some foundations. The blasted thing now measures 75cm(29 and a half inches to old geezers like me!)The water is layers of gloss furniture varnish and clear and white silicon.

I’ve got a couple of river sections sitting on me bench now to add to either side. That’ll give me a full boards worth of river section.

That is one impressive bridge  8)

And it's now an almost realistic size too!

Wonderful work (yet again) :)

That does look all kind of pretty.  Very nice work on the bridge and the groundwork.
