Many thanks everyone,yeah J-hulk he made it,several times over,placement of the vehicle wasn`t an easy task,lol. Gringe,the water was done by pouring paint onto the base straight from the bottle,didn`t really want any brush strokes to show up and I don`t use an airbrush. After that had finaly dried I poured miracle podge over the colour to gloss up the water. This method is only good for stagnent water and as a second try at water I found it to be a big relief.
The bridge embuttments are made from pink foam,covered in cork brickwork. The bridge spanner is balsa wood with wire hooks and t-shirt paint rivets. Spanner was painted a Bark Brown colour craft paint I picked up from Micheals,washed in black and drybrushed in orange and dusted in a rust coloured pastel. Silver,metal and oil drips can be added.

Great work. Always love seeing bridge dios. I can't believe how well this looks, considering you don't use an airbrush. Just superb work.
