The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

It does look nice, but I know that Aristocraft makes a nice stone arch bridge in G scale that could be easily widened to 1/18th scale. It too is made on polysomething foam that is hard. It must be about 4 feet long too. I personally like the truss style bridge LGB makes in 1/22 scale. THe only thing bad with it is it is a bit too narrow for Panzers and way too narrow for Tigers or Panzer tanks :( But Shermans DO fit thru it ;)

Looks pretty cool!
We still need more new 1/18 aircraft!
