Dutch Canal Bridge by Sarissa Precision

This took some time, but now it is finished. It’s the Dutch Canal Bridge by Sarissa, an excellent MDF-kit that will give you a very nice bridge straight out of the box. Good value for £17.50.

But I wanted it to go with the stone-look of my harbour, so it took a somewhat longer time to make…

On the first bridge-half I made individual stones. I cut thin slices of pink polystyrene foam and cut the stones from that. Took a long time and I went for strips that I 'wrote' stones on after a while. Far easier.

Side-stones had to be form-fitted. Tedious work...

One half ready and stone-structure impressed on it.

More info on how to press stonework in my first post on the making of Soerabaja harbour.

This is my Useful Stone. Suitably uneven and with a pointy end, suitable for smaller areas.

More stonework inserted under the bridge.

Stones painted with household paint (Flügger Grå (Grey) Umbra)

Stonework drybrushed with Flügger Lava.

Woodwork painted Vallejo Chocholate Brown and drybrushed Cork Brown.

Here it is, in the open position.

The harbour is in Dutch East Indies, so a dutch canal bridge seem to be appropriate

One of the cars I had as a child. Well played with and now in my to-do box as it could be used in pulp gaming.
