    I needed a concrete bridge for the up and over on the GG&N
    I started with my first real scratchbuilding project.

    Cool! Neat scratchbuilding. Gotta love how anything in the house/bungalow/condo/apartment/etc. can be scratchbashing material!

    Made from miniature pallets? At least that's what they look like? Very creative recycling!

    :D

    The small boxes used to contain chocolat sweets (that's why I have to go to my dentist so often), they are made from balsa. After disassembling I get small pieces of wood measuring:
    1/8" thick (3 mm)
    3/5" wide (15mm)
    and 7" long (17.5 cm)
