But check this out - here is a close-up of my latest bridge project. Note that some of the timbers which extend past the bridge iteself are quite crooked! I was shocked to notice this myself after they had been glued on. Also, the scribed lines to represent the timbers are not straight or uniform.
But still, I am betting the bridge will look okay on the layout. We both have obsessions, just different - you strive for ultimate accuracy and precision, where I strive for completion. Now, not that there is anything wrong with either viewpoint. But I think we can both learn a thing or two from each other - I need to slow down and be more accurate; and you might decide that measuring things to the 1000th may be pushing it a little too far!
