Nothing like throwing up a bridge in record time and it’s bigger than a Bailey bridge as well. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Robin.
 
Hers some progress photos, still have bridge foundations to make.

Very well done Rob, what a magnificent display…After setting all that up you must have been ‘knackered’!

Have a few beers mate and celebrate…Now the real ‘pain in the posterior’ will come when you have to break it all up and repack it again when you’re going home.

I’ve been there, done that and…got the ‘T’ shirt!!!
All the best…You’ve done us proud,
Andy.
 
Tremendous set up!👍👍. Reminds me of Andy, Gordon and the K&C team’s display in the hallway on the day of the OTSN show in Chicago. A real attention grabber!😎😎
 
Rob,
Lots of work building that bridge. Love the arches. You drilled a few dowel holes. It looks great, well done.

Steve
 
Here are some more photos of the show today, including vehicles,
my good friend Murray, who displayed 1/6th Soldiers, won the peoples vote for best show and King and Country came second.
Great day and very lucky to be able to attend.
