bridges, made with simple stuff

[petercooman]

take some cardboard, minibits bases and a hot glue gun


cut and glue:





Now just texture and paint and you're done! 

[Westmarcher]

Looks good!

Like to see it finished. 

[Sunray]

Ingenious and yet simple !

If you were minded - some N gauge card  stone sheets from Metcalfe - could be cut to shape and would clad the walls, piers  and bridge surface.

I have a plastic two arch bridge, and I need a  destroyed  version.   Seeing what you have achieved, I am inspired to have a go.

Thanks for sharing.

I thought about printing a stone design and putting it on, but i'll see how far i can get with texture paint first.

I went along and made some for the big lads too:

Hello

Very good. If you don't want to go the stone sheets you could always make your own by printing texture and gluing to the card/mdf before construction:-



Just google image "free rock wall graphic texture" or "free cobblestone graphic texture" for oodles of examples

Good job guys!

The responses reminded me of a bunch of brick patterns i had printed long ago, for a project that never developped. Luckily i didn't throw them out.

Was still tornbetween brick pattern and texture paint, so in the end, i just combined them to make some wheatered bridges!!



Still needs another layer of texture paint to hide the edges of the paper patterns, but looking ok so far!

Will probably do a green wash ath the bottom too when finished, where the water would hit the bridge.

Wouldn't call those 50% immoral.

They have come out very nicely, good work Peter!

I have a glue gun! I have some brick-effect paper!

I may be inspired.

Konigsberg here I come!
