Rather like lorries, you can never have too many bridges. I was musing to John A recently that I wished I had three arched girder bridges rather than just two, so I could do Arnhem, Nijmegen and Grave bridges properly in the highly likely event that I run yet another Arnhem operational game. Sadly now that Leven have apparently ceased production, I couldn't simply buy another one.
And lo and behold, John produced this. Originally it was some sort of game piece (a Monopoly variant perhaps?). I stupidly didn't take a photo of its original form, but it was mounted on a tipping base and had a big question mark moulded into its road bed.
I cut it off its base and covered over the question mark. Sprayed the whole thing grey then picked out the shadows in black and gave it a light drybrush to pick out the highlights.
And it goes very nicely with my Leven bridges. It is a similar height to the arched bridge, but a similar length to the Bailey Bridge. Either way, it will work fine with my typical terrain layouts, so a good addition and much more sturdy than a resin bridge.
Leven's range has been passed to Battlescale Wargame Buildings and should be back on sale in the very near future
