Annoyingly so lol… And the finish of the product… Damn him lol
He is the worst!
The bottom one is looking better Ryan… That gets my vote
Honestly Ryan those are all looking great mate.
Thanks.
Dang 10 character rule.
The good news goblin is me Ryan, . They look great my friend, with a wash and a dry-brush highlight I think they will look very impressive, .

That’s looking great now Ryan. Now I have seen it like that dry fitted, I understand the whole scene now. Should look cool once it all starts to build up
That is my hope.
Really liking the trestle work for the bridge Ryan, , will you be giving it a similar ‘woodgrain’ texture to the railway sleepers?
G
Ideally I should have done that before hand but I got in a mood to build and finish a part that I didn’t prep them before hand. So yes it will have some but not as much is should have if I did it right.
Looks good Ryan, and may I suggest adding a foot walkway to one side so repair men can handle any problems with the track on the bridge
Thanks. I have an idea of what your saying but do you have any photos for references. I don’t recall seeing one the examples I was looking at. Is that a more post war addition or a bridge length requirement to add?
Given its actual low height and its only really going over a small brook., would it even need a foot walkway ? ?
if any repairs or maint were required, wouldnt they probably just improvise on site ?
Given the small diorama no one doesn’t really know the complete dimensions of the bridge and water way, including me.
I am still interested in the information cause some visual interest might be nice.
I’m like that Ryan, sometimes I want to stick things together before I’ve totally prep’d everything, .
I don’t know if the image below helps, but a walkway is shown at the bottom, supported by extended beams from the trestle.
The other thing I have seen are small projecting platforms at regular intervals, the maintenance crews walk the line, but if a train comes they can step out of the way, something similar to the image below, .

Thanks G. I might add a walkway but let’s how things go. Something to add to a 1/35 future bridge when I have more time.
I was marking up the bridge some. Tamiya black panel liner to help see my process. I also tested the gun primer scriber pencil for the first time.
I think for painting I plan to start with a Tamiya brown color, then add black panel liner followed by dry brushing a light grey color then dust pigments to round it all out? I also have Vallejo colors if that helps. Had thought to airbrush the Tamiya and hand paint the Vallejo.
To be fair Ryan, that finish that is already on it has the look of really old aged wood … maybe you dont need to add to much more ?? just a thought
Thanks, I have batted the idea around. Seems to stark at this point. After some more work on the bridge, a light paint of a light/medium grey then the panel liner so under color and other areas are more muted.
