Sorry about that, biL... still, it was funny!
Spent a bunch of time tonight working on bent number 3. The new weathering trick I tried on the pipes didn't come out that convincing for the mildly rusted pipes - but they will work for the more rusted pipes on the doubled up bents in the middle of the bridge. I'll post that method at some point because it is very cool - great for boxcar roofs and other painted surfaces that have become rusty. Anyway, I ended up just using my normal method of craft paints brushed on. I also used some colored pencils and a bit of powder for the final affects.
As I was painting, I noticed that I had put in the horizontal piping a bit too high.
But at that point, I wasn't going to change it. I'll just have to accept the deduction from the judges. :x
I would like some honest and harsh constructive criticism on this one though, so I can be aware of the intricacies that I missed and that are seen by others.
