Hallo,
here are some pics of my newest module. Some minor work like painting the module sides still must be done.
The bridges are completly scratchbuild from styrene.

Nice! I like the idea of having a Interstate overpass on modern layouts since they look so natural.

That module looks really great!
Your page was really nice to read through to see how you build it.

Thank you very much for adding the pictures and description of the construction process - what a great tutorial!
Those bridges really turned out great. I was already thinking of adding two sets of bridges just like those (only with round bridge supports like we have around my home) to block the view from and create dividing points on the layout. Thanks to your work, I've got a better handle on where to start and how to do it.

That looks awesome. What's especially good is that you capture the massiveness of such a bridge structure with lot of empty land around it.
