[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by dukebasketballer`</i> <br /><br />Thanks whiterab, <br />This is a great start and will be great for a few of my bridges, but I am still looking for something made out of metal, something modern like this: gscalebridge.com <br />Thanks again, <br />David <br />Let's Go Duke! (sorry FSU) <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I took a look at the three bridges shown on the website you reference above. The bridges are aluminum, screwed together with stainless steel hardware. (Reminds me a lot of an Erector Set.) Plans are available off the internet. Find one you like and scale it up or down to fit your needs. Aluminum shapes such as angles can be purchased at home centers or ordered off the internet. Check MSC.com or just google for aluminum angles or shapes. This stuff is pretty easy to come by. You can cut it with a hack saw and it drills very easily. <br /> <br />If you feel more comfortable with wood, there's nothing wrong with constucting the bridge out of wood and giving it a coat of flat black, red oxide or even silver to simulate metal. (The model appears to have a wood deck painted silver, BTW.) If you're not willing to part with the asking price of the model, you may have to make a compromise or two. HTH and good luck.
