Gary S' 2010 Summer Challenge - Bridge

[Gary S]

That's terrific coloring...!! I think I'm color blind - I'm never able to come up with the right shades I'm looking for
But you've nailed them ...

Gus, I'm having a tough time with the slabs. I am not satisfied with them, but it will probably be one of those "good enough" things here pretty quick.

Here is the overall look which is being strived for. This is the other side ofthe bayou than what is in the model photos above. Like I said, I am having to compress the slabs to fit the shelf, so I am not going for an exact copy like I was trying for with the bridge.

   

And here is the compressed model slab. The drain pipe will go just to the right of the painted slab... have to scribe another vertical line as on the real thing.

   

As seen in the photo, decided to go ahead and add the concrete slabs out to the front of the layout where the road bridge will go. Will try to get it all painted soon, no hurry to add the road though. Just need to get the rail bridge finished before September 7th!
