Thanks MP ... on the other hand I'm building the livestock & supply car ...
Decking for bottom of car going on ...
Finished the top photo is before I evened the overall tone of gray out bottom is finished deck ...
Also some work on contents of supply area ... I may put barrows on stand in if they will fit ...
End bolt detail .... I used Testors rust for Boxcar red paint close enough ...
Starting on side walls .... :salute .... those magnets are worth their weight in gold when it comes to aligning a build on a drawing ...

"It's a beautiful bridge and it's gonna be there".
I had a bunch of parts and pieces kicking around in the parts box and since my tooth problem eased up a fair bit I decided that I'd build a small bridge just for fun.
The bridge decking is from a 1/32 scale toy farm shed. I joined threee sections togerther then trimmed it to width.
There's actually a very nice woodgrain pattern moulded onto these pieces. It doesn't show up very well on the grey so here're a couple of images of the same panel piece on the back of an identical shed kit I built and painted some time ago.
The tan handrails are three sections of Italeri telegraph poles scarfed together. There are two of the long pieces and one short piece per handrail.
The upright posts and the braces are the posts from the Tamiya Barricade Set 35027.
The bricks under the bridge at the ends are from some old building pieces I bought at a thrift store many years ago.
To give an idea of the size of this bridge here's an image with an uncompleted jeep on it.
Cheers from Peter

Finally getting some bench time and worked on the 1S6 today. I not dislike Panda a great deal. Brittle plastic and they use umpteen microscopic pieces where 1 or 2 would have been better. Shelved it. I dont have the patience to handle it. Working on my MTLB snar 10 and realized that you should never switch directions part way through a build. This is going to take some work. Frustrated now. Thinking of starting a King Tiger but do I dare??

Everything is looking great. I've got nothing going now as I'm in Florida enjoying time with my family.
