After the two center bridge supports were dry I did a test fit.

After the test fit I noticed a small issue with the supports. The lower band around the support on the left wasn't glue tight. Glue added and problem fixed.



More in a few.

I also noticed a gap on the upper and lower supports.



I didn't have any squadron putty on hand so I used Elmer's Wood Filler.

Tomorrow I'll touch up the wood filler spots and let dry.

Looks great Tom. Are you going to leave it looking new or weather it some?

Fantastic work Uncle Tommie. 

So looking at that scene, that looks like it's going to be one big water poor.  What sort of water method are you planning on using?  And don't tell me your just going to poor left over Diet Pepsi in there.  We all know that would be consider Diet Pepsi abuse.

::) ::) ::)

Looking good, Tom.

That curve in the road leading onto the bridge looks very natural.

Cheers, Mark.
