Jordan,

You might want to check out Adrian Egli's bridge studies at

Although they are much larger than the scale you're looking at, you may get some
ideas. There are several nice bridge examples there, including a couple of
curved ones:

Thanks, Ross! I much appreciate the links. Those are some beautiful bridges..
They've given me a few ideas, but my main problems are still related to
achieving a realistic look at such a small scale. I've thought of building in
curves with the same construction method, but it looks horrid at 1 brick/3
meters. I'll figure out something, though it probably won't be pretty. :)
Hopefully I won't have to change the scale, because I was going to incorporate
the freeway into a micro-scale model of a city.. Maybe I just ought to
experiment with building at a larger scale, then try to shrink it down so I can
develop my technique.

(...) Perhaps you could have a SNOT Technique on the sides. You could maybe use hinges for the curves or layered plates and tiles. (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.arch)
