Here's some early development photos of my arch:

Nice! I once (many years ago when I got my 8860 car chassis) designed a double
arch suspension bridge, inspired by the Sydney Harbour Bridge (I live in
Australia). It was about 1.5m long, and about 60cm high, or would have been if
I'd had enough beams to build it then. The arches needed about 60 1x16 beams
and the same number of 1x12s. I built sections to verify that it was feasible,
and it was very stable (even using the "weak" grey connectors). One day I might
actually try to build one, now that I can afford all the bits I need...

ROSCO
