With the beams in place (or so I thought) I then filed down and trial fitted the bracing (known as either cross, or sway bracing depending on which engineer you talk to). This was again slightly tricky to do as one side of the resin ramps had a wide lip to glue to and the opposite side was a lot narrower. once correctly filed down they fitted in really well and added additional support for the model (just like in real life!). You will notice that at some point in doing the bracing is when I realised my mistake. What is written here is a much abridged version of what happened:

Oh what,

Oh no!

Bugger.

Bugger!

About 45 mins later you have the completed bridge. Easy really.
