For a while I've been mulling over a suitable base for my Comet which I built a few months ago. A few ideas have surfaced but the one that's stuck is a bridge based scene. Luckily I found a decent one that should work for a good price on evilbay and snapped it up. It's a field of glory models item which is cast in ceramic plaster & consists of one span. It's perfect for what I have in mind and should set the model off really well. Having never built a bridge this could turn into a slow burner as I have many things to sort such as a base, painting and of course water. Again this is something I've never done. The bridge will probably get some modifications to fit it to a base and it also has no underside to the arch but that should be an easy one to sort.

Looks darned good indeed and what a fitting setting for the Comet . I too have never tackled water on a base, but in this case it shouldn't be too difficult. If you go for early '45, March/Aprilish, you can get away with a muddy river. That time of year you'll never find a clear river anywhere in Germany, or northern Europe come to think of it .

Did I give you the idea? I think I did. I am temptation!!!!
Go on. Get yourself another one and build a double span bridge. Go on. You know, deep down, you really want to...
Listen to the voice of temp....tation. He, he, he!!!!

That looks good Pete. I was looking at the FOG website yesterday funny enough. And Tommy, Yes! you are partly to blame should I invest in anything.

This bridge looks the part with its muscled shoulders.

Wow, now there's a hunk of plaster! Beautiful bridge and looking forward to your model mastery on this.
