Well, do to my 1-year old's insistance on my presence with him, I left out the the part on my ideas for curved ends. Use quarter rounds glued to the edges of the previously mentioned rectangular pier. Since I built a sloped pier, there would be a wider gap at the bottom than the top between the quarter rounds. It would look like the same form was slid up the pier as the concrete was poured, just that the filler section between the two sides was narrowed for each pour. I would filled the gap with Squadron modeler's putty and sand it smooth, then repeat the putty-and-sand process once again for as much perfection as I think is appropriate. The same process could be done for the abutments. However, the abutments can be totally different in style than the piers. Happy modeling!
