MWB Motorway Bridge

(half relief)

This kit provides parts to build a half relief model of a typical motorway bridge - as used on the M1.

Please note: only the parts for the bridge are included. You will need other items to complete the scene.

Full instructions including measurements and advice for reproducing the road surface are given. The backscene picture can be freely downloaded from the Kingsway Downloads site.

The bridge is scaled to cross a full six lane (plus two hard shoulders) motorway in 1/76 scale measuring 16" wide.

Price: AA

Please understand that the kit only contains the card parts seen below left.

You will need to provide a card deck for the bridge and also a base (MDF?) to build the scene on. The road surface is grey car aerosol paint, and the markings are simply strips of adhesive paper. The weathering is done by rubbing in some charcoal.

Grass mat and 'greenery' can be obtained from model shops.

Producing the realistic scene above is much easier than you might imagine!

TERBa large Georgian style terraced houses

These terraced houses are based on some in West London. The kit comprises four houses and measures approximately 10.5" x 4.5" including the paving. The real houses would have basements below ground level which can be difficult on solid topped baseboards, however the model has printed 'glazed' tiles to suggest the cellar windows continue lower down. For those ready to cut an opening in the baseboard, the front wall of the house can continue down to below ground level. The building can be enhanced by the use of plastic spear fencing available from Ratio models (Ratio 434). See the High Street page for more details.
