Resin bridge refurb Terrain 25

 I got this resin bridge off Des, you could just get a single 28mm figure across it and I figured I could make it more useful so I cut it down the middle with a panel saw, uhu glued some foamboard between it and chucked some ready mixed filler on it.





After that I've slapped some paint on the filler, bit of a wash and wet brushed some more limestone colour to it then flocked it with my usual terrain mix.



Here with some almost based French dragoons painted in Jamaica. 
A first post to count towards Dave Stones Summer of scenery at last!
 It's always useful to have another bridge, I'm pretty sure it started off as an aquarium model but I think it works well enough now, bit more of a country bridge than my Warlord/Italeri one I think.

All the best

  4. Certainly more useful than a single person bridge, unless you were planning on trying a skirmish game, Iain!

  7. Nice work on making the terrain piece much more useful. Came out great. I try to have bridges at least 50mm wide on the inside - so at least the usual Black Powder-type of cav bases can make it over.

    1. My thinking too, my cavalry bases are 45mm so I want to fit them on it!

    1. Thanks Stew , it's a hump backed bridge, guess they're self supporting , I remember going over one in rural Ireland as a child and the back of the car goes up in the air and then dropped down, kind of fun!

  13. O that's a very nice refurbishment! Almost makes me want to start hunting in the Dollar stores for similar options to add to my own collection.
