log bridge

1/34th scale. winter 1944,eastern front.

1:34?? are you sure you dont mean 1:35?? as far as your bridge...are you looking for cut logs (im not familiar with russian bridges) or "skinned" logs? verlinden makes some 1/35 bridges...dont remember if they're logged or not. you could always go outside and collect some sticks from trees and make one yourself. just a thought. perhaps someone else with more knowledge will "chime" in. you could also use styrene (round) and "scribe" wooded lines to simulate bark in it.

Google Image is your friend... Check a few pages to get the general idea and layout...

For material in 1/35th, I'd recommend using some wood skewers... You can buy about 100 for about a dollar at the grocery store.. Bamboo's ok too if ya can't find wood ones.. Also, square chopsticks make pretty fair bridge timbers...

Let's see if this works. This is a pic of a log bridge that someone built, and I bought it on eBay. Haven't recieved it yet, so I don't know if it's as good as it looks. But I think it's a pretty good reference for how a log bridge could be built. Don't know about specifically Eastern Front etc, though.

Actually, it's called "Wood bridge, ceramic" and looks like it's by Costom Dioramics, USA, Squadron number CD0145, it's on sale for $17.98.  It's a timber and wood bridge, rustic looking, but not logs.

Hope it's of some help,

HVH,

You're pretty funny with your River Kwai clip.
