Thanks Pat. More nice stuff from MiniArt.
Some of this stuff is so obvious .... Im surprised it has taken until now for it to be released.

What kind of terrain would this kind of bridge be used on?

And would it need extra fixtures on both ends to fix it to the ground, or is it just laid like that on the ground?

A useful item, which like Frank said, should have been done in plastic a long time ago.. in addition to a lot of other things which should be done in plastic. To me, these should be givens in the hobby.

I'd imagine this would be used in an urban area over a river or small canal (or a large canal if two were joined). You'd probably have to continue with some kind of scratched railingsat either end, although not neccesarily the same pattern.

A lot of this kind of stuff can be scratch built from lots and lots of available materials. However I look forward to more of this kind of thing (The bridge, etc.) as they would be tremendous time savers, and they look good. ...........Al
