Sorry I have not been here before and what the hell I have missed  I don't know where to start so much creativity and the toll bridge is amazing especially the pulley system which you have improved on dramatically.
So much to go back through on this thread and so many ideas to steal

Missed some great work recently....
That gatehouse is fantastic dude, excellent stuff. Loving the details and the working parts
Walkways are all looking suitably cool too.
And good use of the plumbing parts...grab some copper parts too, they often have interesting ridges on, and can be battered a bit too

A dremel can sand off those mold lines easily, and also most plastic glues will allow you to stick styrene rivets to PVC no problem too.

don“t laugh at me... but I currently use this for sanding off any moldlines in a hurry:
it is for polishing nails...but it works like a charm and never is too quick...so the fear of ruining details is rather low...

Technically yes, but not the 'later' you're asking about. I'll have some stuff posted around 2am your time, Vik. But it'll be here waiting for you tomorrow.
I'm working on another vent and starting to paint the bridge. Plus I have a really cool project to show you all, but it's a secret right now. Oh the suspense!

Sorry for the delay. IRL stuff.
I thought I had more to share but these are the only pics I took. I'll have more to offer next time I post.
This project was really cool. I found a mostly square chunk of .060 plasticard and decided to use it as a base for something. Then another idea hit me- how fast could I make somehting that would be relevant and look awesome? I set a time limit of 10 minutes and got to work. Bitz bins opened, glue poured, clamps locked, and the creative mind was in overdrive. 10 minutes later (verified by kitchen timer) I had this:
Everything is glued and the piece is surprisingly durable as I was using plastic cement with a shot of liquid super glue. The super glue held it in place and the plastic cement made it solid. I could list everything on it but it would take me too long. If anyone has a question about a bit I'll answer.
Extra bonus, I found that it is the perfect size for the top level of 2 of my towers:
That's it for this one since I didn't upload anything else to share. I'll be back as soon as I can with more to share. I think I need to get painting though. I have too many 'on deck' projects.
Thanks for looking!

Skalk, did you win the ebay deal? Also what is the white tower made from? Lastly what is the base color your using for all your projects, is it ruddy brown primer?
Everything looks awesome by the way, just needs. Sign saying beware of dog, but with the dog crossed out and rat written next to it. My first mpression was it was a junkyard, an actual one not a bad one  .
