Final Trestle Assembly, Part 3
Once assembly of the trestle itself was complete, it was time to make footings. Using a razor saw and miter box, I cut them from styrne shapes. Being hollow, they got filled in on the ends with Squadron Putty and, when dry, sanded to shape.
After spraying them light aircraft grey, I bonded them to the trestle bents with thick CA. What followed was the tedious task of carving up portions of the scenery so they'd fit; this was the bulk of today's work, as it required many iterations of fitting, carving, fitting, carving, etcetera.
While it doesn't sound like much work, the process pretty much tapped me out, so Part 4 will cover the mopping-up activities of installing the abutments and filling in the terrain. Adiós.
