    Very nice! 400 holes for spikes? That should have kept you busy for a while.

    :D

    Sweet looking bridge. One question though. How do your LPP's (little plastic people) get accross the bridge? :D Of course the era you are modeling OSH didn't exist.

    John thank you. And if taken in small chunks it is not so bad :)

    Boxcab, thanks. The holes for the spikes was easy. Putting them in was time consuming LOL. The holes are just a tad too small so they have to be pushed into place and they really do hold the rail in place.

    Greg, Thanks a lot. The LPP will have to make do with the trail I will make [with short suspension bridge of course :D LOL] for them up the side of the mountain to the resort :D
    Greg, what the heck does OSH mean?

    Hm I think I left the A off. It should be OSHA for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. They are a US government agency for inspection of industries for safety hazards. I'm looking forward to seeing the suspension bridge.

    Very nice!

    Hey, doesn't that qualify you for an honorary engineering degree or something? It ought to anyway.

    :D

    One go to my website [addy in my sig]
    Two as it says on the website, scroll down for the updates.
    Three, click the link in the update talking about the new bridge.
    Four, enjoy.
    I know it is difficult if you are not use to it but following instructions is not as hard as many think it is :D LOL

    Anyhow, that is where it is. I have hundreds of pics on my website for people to enjoy.

    Have fun :)

    Stephen, by the looks of it, you're a man for details. You'd make a great finishing carpenter.

    I just checked out your site again and really like the way you put the instructions in layman's terms. You make it look easy enough for anyone to be able to do. I'm looking forward to trying these myself.

    Nice work, Stephen.:thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

    Thanks. I tried to become a cabinet maker but was too young to appreciate it at the time.

    I try to keep the explanations simple becaue i want people to understand. Talking over people might make them think I am smart, but if they go away not understanding it just proves I don't know how to communicate is all, and thus makes me an idiot LOL [think about it ;) ].

    Anyhow thanks again :)
