Perhaps one for Marc with his urban decay themes...

Quite amazing what a stencil onto a block of concrete can turn out like.

Quite amazing what a stencil onto a block of concrete can turn out like.

Indeed! At first glance it looks like a highly detailed model, such as a movie miniature.

EVOL had a nice gallery show in NYC last year. Very impressive work. A wonderful in-between of model building and fine art!

This must be the ultimate bridge building challenge, The Forth Bridge in Scotland.
8,296 ft long, almost 10 times the amount of steel and rivets  of the Eiffel Tower. If you ever are in Edinburg, you reach it by train in just about 15 minutes.

Another nice bridge, an operating Bascule Bridge in my hometown:



Its designed by Joseph Strauss, who also designed the  Golden Gate Bridge.
This is a bridge I really want to build some day...

Great bridges Hauk,

In the days when lads were mechanical you could build one out of Meccano , can' find a decent picture but here is another one ..... Plus my favourite bridge from the other side of the country

We just got a new bridge to nowhere in Star, ID, they only had half the money to build an outside loop, so for now the bridge crosses the Boise river in Star, some day the road will connect to the Interstate about 10 miles away, the locals in Star call the highway the "Death Star" because it will connect our sleepy little paradise to the outside sprawl of Boise!

Wow, Hauk, the Forth Bridge in Scotland is one nice bridge. Even in HO scale it would be massive....

If you are looking for something different in siding for a structure, here is an idea.

Hauk.

Can you afford to ford the Firth of Forth fjord in a forty four Ford fordor from Fort Ord?

Max slowly losing his alleged mind in MI

I think the guy with the strange siding above must be the thief who stole 300 of my useless CD albums. -- Russ

That would be Trondheim, Norway.

The problem with building the Forth bridge, is that it is a painting nightmare....every time you finish, the paint at the other side is so old, you need to strip it and start painting anew.

[Hauk]

That would be Trondheim, Norway.

Regards, Hauk

And just to prove I have nothing better to do on a sunday afternoon, here is a panorama taken from the balcony of our flat :



To the right you can spot the bridge in open position.

Regards, Hauk
