MY TIGER ON A BRIDGE

Hi all
Just a few pics of my Tiger on the Bridge I'm building at the moment. Not finished, I'm kinda half way through the build :crazy: Just sprayed half of it to see what it will look like..... Both sides of the bridge need various bits done on the bottom and tops to get there. Then the weathering will begin :D Will also add some struts across the top....with some signs and bits. The main leg structures will have added beams also. Its solid....ive had both my Tigers going over it at the same time and theres no wobble or movement......and the pair of them come in at 14Kg.

GOOD FUN :D

From its size I must presume this is meant to be placed outdoors when finished? Neat looking bridge you have going there.

Thanks for the comments guys.....ALPHA the base is part of an old cot. (not ours) If I had used what the green cushions sit on...my wife would have killed me... :haha: .and there would be no Garden furniture lol. I liked the look of the base as they look like supporting rafters going across. Need to get more wood and other bits today. It is for outdoor use or taking to the tank meet in kent. still have the ramps to do also. :thumbup:

cheers
