Bridge construction...

It has been a slower week in terms of model construction. I have spent the majority of my time sourcing more materials and scribbling ideas on how to make this build even better. I may even add electricity to the model, with working navigational lights in the future. But for now there is still much to do on decks 7 and 8, and a fitting place to start is the bridge. I worked on it this past Monday and I was very happy with the result! :-)

The bridge is higher than the rest of Deck 7 and so it has to sit on a stand.
