Hey guys i am creating a 1/18 pontoon bridge.

It will be able to float on actual water

Right now i am putting it together and it will have to grind to a halt because i will be gone from wednesday - sunday.

Hope you all will like it

That looks more like 1:1 scale.

I think I've actually walked on that bridge - at Disneyland on Tom Sawyer's Island - unless Disneyworld made a cheap imitation of it

Tman,
Yes, you probably have walked on this bridge.

VFM115,
If you think it looks 1:1 scale, the modeller has done the job right!

Tom Sawyer in Paris?

How is that Disneyland? Good? Bad?

Have you been to one in the US?

My younger brother went to Disneyland Paris while he was studying in Europe in 2005. (It even snowed on him that day!) The Paris park is smaller than the one in California, to say the least of Disneyworld in Florida. It had many similar attractions along with some different ones. He was especially fond of the "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" attraction. My brother says he likes Disneyland California best, but then that may be partly due to the fact that he's an actual employee & castmember there
