Bridges 1:100

[group b]

With friends we build bridges Czech and Slovak scale of 1: 100.
Some introduce here.
Material - paper, wood, silicone, modeling powder.

Nice work. Is the covered bridge an old rail car that has been adapted, or was it build in that style?

[elliott]

I was wondering the same thing. Sure does look like a real passenger rail car.

[Kevin WS]

Very nice indeed!

Methinks the railcar bridge is the real thing - novel idea!

[group b]

Really, it's an old rail car.
Located in the Slovak Republic.
In the Czech Republic it is also a similar bridge, but the boxcar.

I've seen discarded rail cars used for all sorts of things. I even remember seeing a house that was built around the frame of a streetcar once on a PBS show. I think it was an episode of the History Detectives.

But more importantly, your models look great!

[group b]

Thank you for the compliment. I'll tell you colleagues.This year we produce models of bridges that are made of wood, last year there were wooden bridges.

I'm sure you've been told this before but you're really really good at modeling water!

[group b]

Water models is made differently.
Bošilec - painted floor and several layers of clear lacquer.
Jezdovice - painted bottom of the gel and gel candles.
Huštěnovice - painted bottom, silicone, and finally painted with wispy colors - green and ocher.
Other models - the base plastered with sand and water is silicone.

One bridge, it does not belong collection.
Not Czech-Slovak and Spanish but I am not the author of models before assembly.

Very nice, I like the idea to show the model and the original bridge in comparision.
