BUILDING BRIDGES & VIADUCTS
1 There are some great kits for other structures, particularly bridges and viaducts, such as this Wills kit. The thinner embossed brick sheets can be shaped to form the arch liners. Elastic bands make handy clamps while glueing.
2 The various sections can be combined to create multi-arch bridges or viaducts. A thicker, slower setting adhesive, such as Deluxe Materials’ Plastic Kit Glue, is ideal for fixing larger plastic components together.
3 Neat joints are essential for structural as well as cosmetic reasons, but small gaps are inevitable. Acrylic-based putties can be manipulated before curing with damp brushes or swabs, minimising the need for sanding later.
