TRUSS BRIDGE 28mm

Next project for the Far East was to build a bridge, I scratch built it used MDF. I cut out the desired pieces of MDF with the help of my brothers table saw and a Mitre box which speed up the process of cutting the MDF.

Normally the top of the bridge would have more reinforcement  poles however  I reduced the number to 3. This allows for easier access for placement and movement of figures/vehicles within the bridge structure.

The road area is made from a sheet of cardboard glued in place with PVA glue. I also scribed lines on the cardboard with a blunt instrument and added a bit of fine grit onto the road surface and edges.

Undercoated  with black Primer.

Applying a base coat of Vallejo Model colour Intermediate Green

I used this as the base colour for the bridge 

I added VMC Iraqi sand to the base to highlight, also added chipping with Black paint, rust with VGC Carne Marron Tan and a few stains with Agrax Earthshade.
I used VMC Biege Brown as a base for the road and highlighted by adding VMC Iraqi sand to the base.

PVA was added to a few spots on the inner corners of the bridge.

Added Woodland Scenic Blended Turf.

View I some of the detail with some bird poop to the left of the bridge.

I based the bridge colour on this one in Malaysia
