Only if you have finished your veggies.
Pylons have been planted. I have no idea how I"m doing this yet but keep in mind this is intended to be a very primitive bridge on an old farm road. I laid down some planking for the deck and some stringers

The edge of the causeway was too far forward, I cut about an inch out, moving the tank back towards the center.
I have overcome my bridge block...Does it look weak? Well it's supposed to!
I think one of my guys are going to be leaned up on a sign "Limit 2 tons".

It's a causeway/approach to the bridge.

Back to the reference photo Doc, notice the approach behind the kids? Notice the embankment off both sides of the road. It's a causeway over the flood plain around that creek or little river. Man I wish there were more photos of this scene.
Keep in mind I'm not doing this exact scene but there sure were a lot of bridges crushed during these war games.

That makes some sense. Just don't forget the busted supports and splinters.

Are you going to add more to the bridge going down the ramparts? Gary S.
Oh yeah, there's going to be some support under there as well as a half assed guard rail up top.
I got a question for you guys who do these things all the time. Why is it a necessity for the subject be diagonal to the base? Reason I ask, I'm now thinking of filling in the creek bed with water and if I do that I'll have two corners where water will just stop. If I arrange this perpendicular to the base then it wouldn't be a problem.

Just do a muddy ravine or dry creek bed. Gary S.

The Rule of Thirds, the Golden Ratio and the Golden Triangle are the "rules" of composition that can give a diorama that dynamic feel and flow that guides the eye through the scene to find details and because they can be found in nature they make the scene "feel right". These will all place the focal point off centre and our brain gets excited when things aren't centred. Placing everything at right angles to the base makes it feel rigid, blocks eye and the viewer doesn't get the sense that the scene continues past the edge of the base. Make the base fit the scene not the scene fit the base.
