Pont du Gard Aquaduct (1 Viewer)

[29 Let's Go]

The Pont du Gard Aquaduct was built halfway through the First Century AD. It was part of 54km aquaduct system that supplied the City of Nimes.It stands 160' tall and over 1,000' long. It was built without the use of mortar. This project was a little above my " grade," but I had to give it a go. I hope you enjoy.

You've created a splendid looking piece but what more you do with it is the interesting thought. Greg.

You must spent a lot of your spare time on your Roman projects ?

Lets see you've done Hadrian's Wall and Roman Road, a Roman Fort and now this.. I wonder what's next !?

Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations mate !

I echo Steve H's comments. Your Roman engineering dios are amazing. The imperfections in some of the stone work and the surrounding terrain really enhance the impressive structure itself. :salute:: Chris

Superb model making skills involved here! {bravo}}

Brings back memories of when I was 14 years old and walked across the top of this with my French friend I was with at the time. 160 feet up seamed a hell of a drop then!

Anyhow, excellent model.
