Bridge over the river resin - a 28mm wooden bridge

I already have a number of bridges in my collection.  A home made one which was a bit wonky, a smaller resin wooden plank foot bridge and a large stone bridge.  The stone bridge was in a WW2 style so looked a bit modern in the dark ages.  Looking around for a new bridge I came across one at Eureka Miniatures (part no. 100WAL04).  It was a nice looking wooden bridge with a flat resin base and white metal side rails.  Since the rails would be the point that the bridge would be picked up by I pinned them (using cut down bits of paper clips) to the bridge in three places on each side for extra strength and epoxy glued everything together.

The base is dead flat - great for my terrain boards

Using this as an excuse to try some more airbrushing I base coated the bridge in a mid brown (using a cheap $3 craft paint).  Then it was onto the usual dry brushing up the colours of light brown to tan to near ivory/off white.  The end result was a nice looking bridge wide enough for two foot figures (on 25mm bases) to be side by side.

Five layers of dry brushing later...

I could have made my own as I have done previously but I doubt I would have gotten the side rails looking as good or as strong.  The open sides of the bridge have the advantage of making it much more appealing to look at on the game table.  Perhaps I'll have a go later and make my own to replace that WW2 stone bridge...
