    Perhaps we should take it down to Cattle Car section. ;)

    Nice start to another scratchbuilt masterpiece.

    That's going to look great.:)

    It was this naughty girl he was referring to. But I'm back on track. No pun intended.

    Thanks you. But I must remember that something like this walk bridge was built to be functional and not pretty. So I will try to keep it in that mode.

    Thank you. It was just a bit of fun while the glue dries

    I read that most walk bridges were painted white, (whitewash). I will sponge paint it with a fairly dry sponge so it will look like old paint. Must remember that this canal is abandoned. But anyway, it's coming along.

    The footbridge looks great! A whitewash (perhaps add a drop of black to make it a light gray) is nice, but following up with a diluted india ink wash will highlight the grain and make the structure look more aged.

    Where the people walk will also be a little darker.

    Stairs! I hate doing stairs and sometimes I have to call for help. LARRY! But this is a low bridge, so I only need a few steps. I can do it! Super woman!
    Well, I found what I need in my scrap box of laser wood kits of the past. The way I want to do it is to have the steps disappear into the, overgrown, grass and weeds. Wish me luck:unsure:

    I learned that song 55+ years ago in grade school and have never forgotten it. Weird what sticks in our minds.

    If you have trouble now, just wait a few years.
    Just take it one step at a time. And hang on.
    You do have the skill.
