A small bridge!

[Wight]

Inspired by others I thought I'd build my own little bridge.
I made the ramps a little too steep though and had to glue on some sandpaper so the tank could get some grip!They climb it ok now though.
It's all the wood I had though so I had to make do.



Cheers.

hi steve looks great well done!

you could even in the future make a second middle section so that you can have it as is or longer

cheers,

Thanks Matt.
Yes your right I can extend it at my leisure.
Also just the ramps together make for a good little obstacle.

Cheers.

Hi A little tip for grip have you tried sprinkeling sand and small chippings on to wet paint(black)this sould give you grip.

I tried model railway ballast mixed into diluted pva first of all,still not enough grip.
I think you are right that sand would have been better but I was just using what I had on hand at the time.

We like bridges. Great stuff. If you want real grip, pop down to B&Q and buy a roll of the non-slip rubber mat - the honeycombed stuff, and lay that. It is brilliant for gripping anything. I use it in the back of the car when I transport the tanks, it grips the carpet and the tanks and they don't move an inch.
