Building Bridges - Part 7

Today I "finished" Bridge 1 and started work on Bridge 2. Now, I say "finished" because I still might repaint the tops but having looked at them today I'm feeling a little happier with the colour match, it's not perfect but it's okay. 

I also added some signage...

The hazard bars are suspended by chain which was glued and then gaffer taped to the inside of the bridge. They were made using plasticard and overall I really like them, especially the way they swing :). The warning signs on the bridge itself were just printed and glued to cardboard. All in all a very simple touch but one that really adds some life to the project. 

With Bridge 2 I wanted to make sure that it would match when placed down next to Bridge 1 as these two are always likely to be used together. So when I painted it I made sure to line up all the bricks and continue the same pattern. Now it doesn't matter which way you place them down, 1 then 2 or 2 then 1 the brick work will always match. 

So, one more day of work and these two bad boys will be done! Next in line are the arches and shop facades. Until next time, keep on painting.
