Hey tried to do this one has any one have information on this bridge and were it is located is it still in service I did this render but it is to long and wide!
I found the bridge and it's still standing used google to find it but can't get a good postion to get measurements!
Hi, check this German wiki page: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusseisenbrücke_in_Laasan Since you might have to brush off your mastery of the German language, this is what I make out of it in terms of measurements: Length 12,55 meters Width 5,7 meters Height 2,8 meters I could 6 tons in weight The river it bridged was 9 meters wide. Cheers, Matt
Thanks Matt! I will check My great great grandmother might have been able to read it but no longer here! but me! I will fine a way! thanks! Ther is a translation site page you just copy and paste and it writes in English! cool https://www.bing.com/search?q=trans...5cd254356e782d15c4698f0a7&cc=US&setlang=en-US
It would have been better if it was done in Laser cut metal the bridge supports since 3D printing has a size limit! with support thinner parts can't be made without breaking! https://www.shapeways.com/product/ZGFH4AAVL/european-walk-bridge-z-scale
It looks very nice, could easily be fitted in many a layout. Next: Ironbridge, UK? Kevin would probably fit it in his next UK layout I visited the UK two years ago and walked this bridge, amazing early industrial revolution accomplishment. It was the very first and an example for the German version you've now modelled. The bridge connects two sides of a narrow rivervalley, with beautiful surroundings. How spectacular must it have been to the 18th century folk! ...sorry Pawel, didn't mean to hijack your thread. Back to the Polish route... Matt
The only problem is the handrails they would have to be Laser cut metal for this bridge! It's a very interesting bridge like the design might try to do this one to! Last post on this site on bridges waiting for some new great modules shots! Zdrada69! always enjoy seeing your work!!!!!! https://www.shapeways.com/product/U5RT4DPNF/polish-arched-bridge-4-z-scale
Hi Pawel, very nice bridge and cool cobblestones (but horror for car axles...) Where I could get these cobblestones? My father is building a german branchline prior WWII in z scale and has some streets there...
Those gipsum products are made by Hugwa: http://hugwa.pl/HOME.html Z-scale shop items are here: https://sklep.hugwa.pl/pl/c/1220-Z/21 It looks that cobblestones are not in the shop but I can ask for it (I belive my were "test edition") or you can write directly to Hugwa in German.
I was wondering if any one here is into leather work! It would be nice to have a set of hole bunches that have the shape we use in Z scale I found this but never used them! You could cut out plastic or what ever material needed getting the same size needed! I think this shape could be made. https://www.prolinemax.com/HEXAGON-...-Metal-Craft-Hole-Puncher-Punches-_p_398.html
Trying to make my creek with Valleyo modellers' water. I applied really thin layers and let it dry some days but after a week it get "milky"
I like using the woodland scenic water. I put it in layers of 1/8in. let dry then added this way till I got the depth I wanted. It flows well and sets up clear I layered this pond in 2007 and here is what it looks like now! I just wished I used a darker blue for the deeper water. it doesn't harden and can be wiped down before doing photo to remove dust and make the top look glossy!
I decided not to destroy what was already done. There will be a swamp with bushes instead of the creek. I will try to check another products on the next project. I started to work on the other side of this module as well.
I think the bushes and trees are practically finished. It is time to start to add some human presence...
That's very nicely done scenery on your end module, lots of layers of different materials give a really natural look.
