<p>[quote user="Track fiddler"]</p> <p>So I decided to kitbash instead of scratch building on my fourth of the 8 bridges I need.</p> <p>It went South. I cut up a Kato bridge. It was going good, than I cut the uprights too short, game over.</p> <p>You know it's not the $14 Bridge that's the issue. It's my time. Now I got to start all over. </p> <p>Sometimes that's just how it goes. Oh well I will get this.</p> <p>Track fiddler</p> <p><img style="width:704px;height:auto;display:inline;" src="https://i.imgur.com/l9GQ1lTh.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p><img style="width:704px;height:auto;display:inline;" src="https://i.imgur.com/3UdSo31h.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>Just believe me they are too short</p> <p>PS Since I have to go back to the Hobby Store to get another Bridge. More tools are definitely on the list. </p> <p>Last time I did kitbashing I wasn't dissecting parts and putting them back together. </p> <p>Two exacto blades snapped and flew across the room. Kind of dangerous and I didn't find one. I can hardly wait till someone finds it in their foot. Ha ha that won't be good.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Can you replace the too short parts with comparable sized pieces of Evergreen styrene?</p> <p>You might also check out Central Valley bridge kits. They have whole bridge kits, and additional parts kits.</p> <p>Also MRVP just did a video series on kitbashing bridges for the Canadian (or Canadien if you prefer) Canyons layout. </p> <p>I would get a miter saw of some kind.</p>
