Daves Tugboat Diorama





With the plain flat wall fitted in position there was a lack of any detail, so I added another layer in the front, which would also serve as support for the bridge girders.



I started the bridge by running girders across the space and cutting ends to form a rectangle. One side of the bridge is longer than the other so the added cross members don’t work out even.






Sometimes ideas just happen. I had used drywall screen to sand the base and had some lying on my bench. I wanted an open grate type of bridge and this worked out perfect. Just cut it to fit with scissors.
