Quick update on the bridge...

I decided to make the bridge railings 3 dimensional rather than flat like the PE.

Here's a pic of the set to show what I was shooting for:

To do this I needed to turn the flat PE railing legs 90 degrees so...

First, I sliced slots into the short walls around the circumference of the bridge center section using a #11 blade.

Then I cut the legs off the PE railings and glued them into the slots at an angle leaning inward.

Talk about tedious work with a magnifier and tweezers!

Once the CA dried I dotted the tops of the legs with CA and very carefully placed strips of Evergreen strip on top to form the rails themselves:

Once all the railings were in I painted the legs black and the rails Italian Red.

Here's a pic of the center section with the completed railings installed into the outer ring:

There was a good sizes gap between the two sections which I filled with AVES Apoxy Sculpt.

Once it's dry I'll do whatever cleanup is needed before touching up the upper level floor with Gunship Grey.

Then I'll finish painting the 9 chairs and placing them into the floor at each station.

I'll take a pic when it's done with LEDs in place behind the upper display screens and the main viewer so you guys can see how it looks lit up all pretty.
