Panzergruppe Tarraco scenery: the Panzodrom
Re: Panzergruppe Tarraco scenery: the Panzodrom
hello guys
talking about the 'pionierebrücke'... as I'm a bit of a rivetcounter, i did not like the way it was finished... so after thanking our friend for the work done, i put myself on the way to solve some of the faults...
before:
i almost dismantled the bridge, to relocate some of the beams, and cut new ones discarding the ones that were too short...
then i put it on his place, in order to calculate the supports sizes, and cut the logs in situ
building the timber frames for the supports (they will be detachable to save storage/transport space)
then i completely reconstructed from zero the railing, supports and tensioners...
i weathered the wood with a very diluted mix of Judea's bitumen:
say hello to Günther
at this point I have not decided yet how to finish it, with planks, with a layer of soil, both... or as it is now.
thanks for watching chaps!
best regards

Awesome, nice bridge.
Don't fire that King Tiger off with the turret turned, you probably knock that bridge of its supports and float down the river! haha

LOL! Don't worry the bridge caretaker has informed all the panzerkommandanten that this is strictly verbotenWill01Capri wrote:Awesome, nice bridge.

Re: Panzergruppe Tarraco scenery: the Panzodrom
evening chaps
i've been spinning my mind on how the hell finish the surface of the bridge ... for one side i like very much the look of the beams and 'logs'.. but in our club there are several vehicles that have limited off road capabilities or are fussy (kubel wagens, schwimmwagen and a BMW R75 with sidecar), so the motorbike will have serious issues travelling there, so i decided to put planks
first i extended these planks all over the bridge
but the guy who built it was a bit disappointed, so i decided finally to build only two wide gangplanks
this weekend i will extend some soil to fill space between the logs, so that those little bastards can drive without many problems
best regards!

Re: Panzergruppe Tarraco scenery: the Panzodrom
hi gentlemen
today we have extended a bit the forest, this time with 20 little Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, we hope they will grow soon to scale...
this is how they look now:
also, today we have finished the main road (that is, we have run out of tiles... )
it seem to make an strange twist once converging to the main bridge access, but this point actually is a crossroads, so it lacks still two of the arms
and an old wall from an old cottage, here there will be some ruins soon
that's all for today guys
best regards!

Re: Panzergruppe Tarraco scenery: the Panzodrom
good evening sirs
yesterday we expended several hours trying to clean the riverbed, some days ago we have had severe storms and all the place was a big pool. After the water seeps away, they remained an all around cover of silt. I say trying because we have not finished the job... and the next sunday 21 we have a big meeting there!
today i have worked alone so i couldn't clean the riverbed, but this what i have done
the third 'arm' of the crossroads, leading to the river gorges and the watch path, but then, we have put there a fixed bridge, the third one
the bridge itself
with some textured rollers i tried to print some cobblestone looking
i hope this could do some grip to the wheels and tracks...
well, this bridge is only 25cm width.. so some ice nerves to the driver who dares to cross this gorge over a 25cm deep river...
that's all guys
best regards
