Painting the bridge:
<
BR>
The set of colours used for the stone dock element is the same as described in the other dock section. The wooden parts are also painted in the same way
as the wooden walkways are painted in that same section.
About the moment of painting the bridge, one could do this before assembling the bridge.
I first build the bridge up and drilled the holes. After that I took it apart again and painted the individual parts. After varnishing the parts the
bridge was assembled permanently.
About the size of the stone dock section:
This bridge section is about 2 centimetres les long than a normal straight dock section. In order to make it fit with any combination of dock elements
I will design a small set of smaller dock parts is necessary. The reason for adjusting the size of this element lies in the fact that the elevated element
that hast to come directly behind the docks has a certain size. One could say that I went wrong there at that moment but the idea of it all is to create a
set of docks, elevated areas, houses of different kinds and special features that eventually will make up a landscape that has to dress up a side of the
table and that I will call…. “Tortuga”
I hope you will follow my great adventure of this and see how my twisted idea of sculpting an entire pirates hideout from scratch.
If you would be interested in how I do get along with this project then drop me an email and I will add you to my mailing list.
I do not often update my site but do send out emails more frequent to those who are interested.
The next update will be the elevated area…….
