Nice work me ol mate, keep the updates coming.

Those ribands look fantastic. Would be interested in a set for myself.

Hi Phil
Thank you for the lovely comment were hoping to get back at it next week as the little man is off school until Wednesday.

Hi Mark
The ribands are a good turn from Phil D and yes they are fantastic.
Give Phil a message he is a really nice guy at the end of the day if he has a lot on he can only say no.

Have a great Sunday

Steve and Tiny

Is Phil D Phil Dawe ?

Hi Mark
Yes it is mate.

Hi guys
Well we got back into the workshop again today and have finished span two.
What I did find to make thing's easy was to fit the ribands loosely and slide the planking under this has made life so much easier on the build.
I also used a Liberal amount of copper slip on the fittings of the end posts to aid fitting and help prevent rust when the bridge is used outside..
I hope this is of help Garry when you start your build.
Next job to trim the planking for the ramps seal stain assemble and put every together.

Take care and keep safe

Steve and Tiny

Looks great Steve. Looking forward to seeing some traffic on it.

Hi Steve and Tiny

Your bridge is looking great, I am following your build closely as I will be restarting my own build soon now the 17PDR dirtying up is almost done. Good idea to use copper ease. Like the ribands and the overall finish.
Tiny, I bet your glad your grandad is helping you with this ,top job.

regards
Gary

Hi all
We got back into the workshop again today to finish the assembly of the ramps
So now all the pieces are made its time to fit everything together.
This we will do over the weekend as tomorrow I have a shopping trip into town no fun there then

Take care all and keep safe

Hi guys

Well at least the bridge is done.
Everything fits as is should the only thing to do new is to paint the fasteners although I may change these at a latter date for nuts and bolts.
I did make one big mistake right at the start and that was I should have orderd a 3 or 4 span that would have done this fantastic model even more justice.
Take care all and keep safe

Hi Both.

Very nice build, but you should have gone 3 spans (maybe a 4th), as Tiny has appears to have outgrown a 2 span bridge.

Take care.

Good morning Charles
Thank you for the lovely comment.
You never said a truer word the little fellow loved the build and prity much said the same lol.
He hust needs a quilt and he would happily use it as a bed he's some kid.

Look great. Makes a great bed in the workshop. What's next?
Pity the extra spans are not available.

Well done both of you.

Great looking bridge. Wonderful project with your son. I agree Bridges need to be longer!
