Very nice !! Familie Journalen got really nice graphic on their models.
What size is the bridge?

Thanks for the comments.

The bridge spans 92mm\3.6 inches between the towers.
The towers are 150mm\5.9 inches tall from base to top of roof
The base is 202mm X 55mm\ 8 inches X 2.2 inches

The parts pages were printed to fit on A4 size cardstock 176gsm/65lb and was 78% of the original size of the downloaded pages.

A very clean and sharp construction. You make the vintage look almost new. How do you get the colours so bright and clear?

When I download the pages they have a very noticable brown color cast due to the aging of the original from which they were copied. I use Paint Shop Pro or Photo Shop to remove the color cast by manual color correction then play around with the color balance, saturation, and contrast until I get something that I like. When I first started working on the old pages it took a while but soon it got quicker and easier to do.

I have no idea if it is what the pages looked like in when the magazine was originally published over 100 years ago so the colors might be off, but the final product looks good to me.

Thanks for the information. It looks good to me, too. Your model is probably brighter and sharper than the original magazine publication.
