That's a Long Way Down
Who hasn't, in their youth, ventured out across that scary-looking spindly railroad bridge for a peek over the edge? Got the adrenalin going, didn't it? Did you remember to turn on your camera? That was always my problem: the excitement of being out on that frightening bridge blotted out all other rational thoughts, such as turning on—or even just bringing—my camera. Didn't matter; with my gripping fear of heights, I wouldn't have even gone out on the bridge; more often than not, I'd just remain comfortably safe on dry land, watching my friends' pants turn brown.
The real work on this one was obviously the bridge. Eight bits of styrene made it up, and I assembled it on the back of a piece pf packing tape to hold all of the bits in place while they got glued. After carefully peeling it off of the tape and cleaning it up, I sprayed it with Testors Light Aircraft Gray, my go-to concrete color, followed by a wash of thinned black acrylic paint. After I glued the bridge in place on the cork stopper, I applied a glob of premixed sanded grout and shaped it with a knife tip. Then came paint and vegetation.
This one may be the most "dramatic" of the bunch, but my favorite is still Intersection at the Underpass, followed closely by Route 541 Along the River.
