Brian mate; do you think the bridge looks odd with the viaduct? If you do this is the feedback we are looking for, we thought so ourselves but when we saw an actual print of the photo, it looked pretty good. <br /> <br />Since we have painted it and roughly put the rest of the support material in place it looks entirely different and Doreen is pretty kean to carry on with what we are doing, not so sure myslef though. <br /> <br />I dont have any drawings but I do have a template of the bridge and the arches; we do a lot of this; make a cardboard template first then see if it fits and how it works. Then Doreen transfers the matrix onto marine ply and I cut it out with my jigsaw (saber saw) <br />it has worked for us with just about all the curves and ramps we have done so far! <br /> <br />The actual proportions of the "Goodwill Bridge" is 475 m long, arches 100 m above the deck and the deck is 13 m above the Brisbane River. I think you will find out a fair bit about it on the internet if you look under Goodwill Bridge; Brisbane from that you will see the actual concept from which we drew our ideas. <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds ian
