Scratchbuild - Another Bridge Project

[Sumpter250]

S-two-fiddy, a real modeler rivet-counter expert would use some of the schmancy fancy etched brass, so the plastic roofwalks should work just fine.

A real modeler: One who, to the best of his ability, creates a scale model of a chosen subject, understands that he doesn't know it all and compensates by trying and learning, and understands that a wood walkway isn't made of schmancy fancy etched brass.

A rivet counter: One who is very quick to point out the deficiencies of another's modeling skills, while not necessarily possessing those skills himself. ( I consider the counting of rivets a preparatory step. )

Expert: Otherwise known as "A know-it-all".

You, sir, have shown us all that you are a real modeler. ( the use of recycled roof walks, is "points in your favor" )

My latest sail vessel, for the modules, will be a sloop. The wood grating that the helmsman stands on will be " schmancy fancy " photo etch, painted to look like wood......hey, I can't build a wood grating that small, and I have a few small pieces of "PE" left from some other projects.

"The Shadow knows...." because he's always there, lurking, unseen, in the "shadows"........ learning.
