Just thought I'd try to show several pictures of my attempt at spanning a future river on my layout. The bridge is 91 inches long, done in two sections, one of which is now finished, the second will be soon after this is written. The main part of the bridge is plexy glass with all added details done in styrene.
first picture was taken with just the plexy put together to see how it would fit.
second is with detail plastic added
third picture shows finished first section. I used Krylon camo brown as a base coat and then used Krylon camo black in lighter coats and darker coats to give some contrast to it. Since I am using hand layed track on wooden ties, I added an extra strip of plexy where the ties would be to help them stay above any rain water that might collect on the deck.

Just to show the two sections in place .....before and after shots
Hope these pictures worked..if not will try again later.
