Apart from the fact that for most modellers any fund money should be spent on things you can't create, there is much more fun in creating something personal from an economic kit. The ScaleScenes' Arched Bridge kit comes in sheet form to be cut out using scissors or a craft knife, folded to shape and stuck on to card, reinforced wherever possible to give strength and longevity. Only two adhesives were used, pva for the printed sheets to card, and uhu for securing the main structure and supports. The ScaleScenes downloadable model kits business was started in 2005 by John Wiffen, an experienced graphic designer and keen model railway enthusiast, with the aim of reducing the cost of building substantial numbers of the same kit -such as terraced houses and retaining walls - and also to provide a range of material finishes that could be used to adapt parts of the kits to suit alternative locations.
