When I put on my recent Memoir 44 Arnhem game I realised I could do with some more metal bridges (as opposed to stone ones, with which I am well supplied) for more modern games. I use my existing pair of Leven Bailey bridges all the time as they are just the right size and look for many situations. I was ordering some stuff from Leven anyway, so I added another Arched Girder bridge and four more Bailey Bridges to the order.
And here are the finished articles. They are all resin 3D prints and were printed to order and shipped out very quickly. I've got some of these already, but you can never have too much terrain.
The arched bridge I just did dark grey over a black undercoat with a light overall dry brush at the end. I left the gaps between the girders black (that bit where my brush slipped I touched up after the photos!) and just added a light overall drybrush and some mud on the roadway.
The Bailey Bridges I did dark green over a black undercoat, although bizarrely it looks brown in this photo. Like the arch bridge, it got a drybrush and some added mud on the roadway.
The Bailey Bridge sections are really useful as general purpose bridges, they can also be pressed into service as impromptu Bridgelayers. Here is one perched on top of a 15mm Valentine III.
Last time I checked the Leven website was down, I think they were hit by the same outage as a number of other gaming sites. I hope they are back soon as they make excellent products.
