Cheap bridge

Post by dgsselkirk »

So my wife was cleaning out her garden shed and had 2 old bamboo plant holders she wanted to chuck. I was sitting with my neighbor having a wobbly pop when I looked at them and thought, I could make a bridge out of that crap! :D So had a couple more wobbly pops and out come the power tools of course! Did some rough breakdown of the stands and then turned it over to Bob my retired neighbor for detail work and he did a great job. All free materials and free labour, gotta like that! :haha: :haha:

Has an Asian look to it, maybe the bamboo. Vietnam vintage for sure.

Yes, it does... although in scale it looks quite good for a southern Russia as well. Strato will like it for his Japanese type 98! :haha:

:haha: :haha: :haha: I know I'd like to see you do some Mac....I find Japanese armor fascinating... They are hard to RC though small frames and running gears but the build itself would be fun I think

Your Paper Panzer would look good on dgsellkirk's bridge too ;)
