Before I painted the sub assemblies I decided to make provisions for some lighting. It would be hard to hide the wire in such an open structure so I tried to make them look like electrical conduite. I glued them to the inside of the iron work in straight runs from top to bottom to simulate a buried feed to the apron.
Then it is off to the paint shop. All the parts got a few coats of either Polly Scale empire green or aged concrete. The same as my coaling bridge.
while that dried I started to work on the support for the side fo the bridge that is in the water. I started by carving a block of foam to shape and gluing some stained dowels to the side of it that faces the apron bridge. The rest will be covered with rip raft and dirt.
