Forth Bridge

A few years ago, there was an article in Model Rail, about someone who was building a 4mm recreation of the Forth bridge, and I've seen nothing on it since.

I was wondering if anyone on here seen the article, and knows anything else about the project, was it completed etc?

It would be some size of bridge in 4mm scale!

I saw this, then realised it was in an April edition. April 2006, pages 84/5/6 for any one interested.

I build loads of kits etc. Judging from the time it takes even with everything jigged it could take over 10 years to build this.

Perhaps they have realised!!!

If it was done in 4mm scale the model would have been over 100ft long
4mm scale 71ft to the mile.
