Beautiful work on both kits. I had my Combrig Italia kit out the other night and was wondering how much of a beast that bridge was going to be to build. When it comes time, I may try my hand at drawing and 3D printing it, if I can get the material thickness thin enough.


thank you Devin! :cool_2:
As per the 3d printing of the deck i'm not convinced that it will be less tricky to handle of the pe one...
if i'll ever need to do that kit again, however, i'll join the 3 pieces with some masking tape, trace shape and holes on a thin brass sheet and cut a new, single piece bridge :scratch:

I wonder, how did you do the base on these? I can see you have left some space for a cover. Did you custom make glass cover (or acryllic)? Or did you order them somewhere? I would love to know more on this as I want to find a working solution for my models that is also as elegant as yours.


Hi Pascalemod, i had the base (and the plexy case) custom made for me from the plexy case supplier of my company.
I had the base and the case made with the same specification of the ones we use for our exposition models, glossy black 15 mm plexy base and 6 mm ultra clear plexy case.

Thank you Jim, i saw this model while doing researches for mine, as all the other models of John Prothero - Thomas it's a masterpiece.
I actually have a second inflexible model, that i'm planning to do in the "modernized" version represented by john...after at least another gazillion project that i have in mind!
