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
