Nederland Canal Lift Bridge:
Scratch Built (Works)

The initial inspiration was the small Holland all resin Lift Bridge from Verlinden as shown below, but I wanted something large enough that a Jeep could drive across.

This model uses all bass wood set on an old sports trophy base.

Various reference photos found on the internet:

Many of you were very productive, unfortunateley I can’t say that about me too. It’s the same thing every year, when it gets warm outside my modeling-time turns to zero.
But I use the time to learn more about using my airbrush with help from the great guide from ammo of mig, I feel still safer when I think about painting my jagdpanther, before I got all the informations I’m getting nervous and uncomfortable by thinking about the paint-work.
Have a nice week✌

Mike, I saw this at the model show last weekend in Strasbourg/France and thought of your project :slightly_smiling_face:

That’s really cool! I believe that’s also 1/72, just a different kit. Think I have the same HANOMAG Heavy Tractor in the ‘Convoy Campaign’ as well. Really like that V2 Rocket set-up. :rocket::rocket: Thank’s for sharing!

Very nice effect, you’ve done a superb job there. The dusty, worn effect is excellent, nice one :+1::clap::clap::clap:

Still much too hot to use the airbrush.
On the club I am building a Matilda, to get common with the (right) Caunter scheme,
so I will have a grip this winter to start with Rommels Mammoth (AFV Club)
So worked on the Matilda cuppola, but the ca glue hardens also quite quick…

So I think I’ve got the basic paint job completed. It’s been a long road with this cammo scheme. I’ve repainted this thing three times…at one point it was Russian green but I finally arrived at this. Ive got some final bits to finish then on to weathering.

Yes that will be one of the finishing touches. I need to assemble the pe bands and install them. That will be another day in the workshop.

Some more period signage I restored today. Might be of general interest and usage for the Car Guys, the Model Railroaders and maybe even some of the Armor Guys as well. Anybody else interested? (Free for the Downloading)

What do you think?

The Miller’s needs a bit more work but it is already nice enough to use in the smaller sizes.
