Building Pegasus Bridge
The most famous bridge and coup de main of DDay is pegasus bridge on the orne river canal. I have already started the tiles for the bridge and I am hoping to really produce a lovely table to be able to replay this famous event on the tabletop. I also plan to build the village and road bridge over the river this will play on a 5 x 12 ft table.
For the bridge I am using the Raventhorpe Sentry 20mm Pegasus bridge made from resin. I plan to add a few changes to this plus make some improvements and additions to the piece.
My plan is to remove the solid handrails and replace them with wire ones, drill out the girders and above the control shed, file out the lifting beam arms, replace the cross beam, add plastic ladders and continue the light rail entry and exits off the bridge ramps.
drilling and filing out the girders, a bit of work and a mask and a vacuum cleaner nearby
I hope to have this completed by next week.
Cheers
Matt

Looking forward to the completed model Matt!
A very famous action indeed Matt, I look forward to seeing the game played out on your table sometime in 2021!
This is making me think it may be time to get to work on that Old Glory Napoleonic Pontoon train set...
So am I !
Cheers

I am planing a supurb looking table for this, with items often missed by many, the light rail line, the train station and water tower and second drain Chanel, the underground command bunker etc
Cheers

Yes, I like Bridges, also have a new rail bridge planned for another game
You’ve certainly got your work cut out for you there Matt...
I’m looking forward to seeing the finished item...
All the best. Aly
Yes, it is time consuming, I did think it would be faster to build it out of plastic beams
