After a second coat of paint I'll weather it and spray some dullcote on it to take the sheen off the gloss blue paint and then I'll straighten out the railings. All you have to do is breathe on them to bend them One thing I've noticed. After looking at many many pictures of bridges in Japan. If they aren't concrete then they are painted in bright colours. Whereas in the US they seem to be content to let bridges rust away...

How did you make them? Alas I can't claim any manufacturing skill in them. I bought them from freetime hobbies. They carry a goodly selection of ship modelling etches in scales at or around 1:450 https://www.freetimehobbies.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=11 Ian _________________ I CAN see how cool this stuff is!!! http://more-t-please.blogspot.com/ Back to top David K Smith Chief Cook and Bottle Washer Joined: 03 Sep 2008 Posts: 435 Location: New Jersey, USA Posted: Fri Feb 06, 2009 10:18 pm    Post subject: Most excellent! _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Talking T Gauge Forum Index -> Modeling in T All times are GMT Goto page Previous  1, 2 Page 2 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum General Forum----------------Welcome!Trading Post Modeling Forum----------------Tips, Tricks and AssistanceT Gauge ProductsModeling in TLayout ShowcaseModular Frame of MindNarrow Gauge  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
