After being away for a few days, I got around to making a start building a bridge last night, here the near completed span, once this has dried I’ll build the base then it will need a river to go with it

 

I’ll update this entry as I go along…

A little bit later in the day and here is the base and bridge glued together with the banks added these again are papier mache, once its dried i'll trim the corners out, this should help keep any warping to a minimum (I hope!)A little bit later in the day and here is the base and bridge glued together with the banks added these again are papier mache, once its dried i'll trim the corners out, this should help keep any warping to a minimum (I hope!)
Here are some experimental river sections, or rather the beginnings of them, not sure how these will turn out yet, the weather sucks at the moment so everythings taking an age to dry.Here are some experimental river sections, or rather the beginnings of them, not sure how these will turn out yet, the weather sucks at the moment so everythings taking an age to dry.

A little how to on how I create the river sections

Stick to layers of cardboard to each other the smaller layer ontopStick to layers of cardboard to each other the smaller layer ontop
Attach some coffee stirrers too stiffen and lessen any warpingAttach some coffee stirrers too stiffen and lessen any warping
add the add the "goop" remembering to make sure that all meeting points are a standard dimension.

Allow the “goop” to dry slowly, any attempt to speed the process up either by putting the piece in the sun or in an airing cupboard just means the piece warps more 🙁

I hope this helps..
