FrankM, just curious, with your skill and expertise at finishing details, why you chose not to finish your bridges. I think they are stainless, so perhaps thats the reason? Ted
Hi TedW, That is a fair and a pertinent question. I have often asked myself the same question (!)
Yes, the bridges are solid stainless steel. To have them "finished-off" with, at the very least, a paint job, I would have needed to send them back to Stainless Unlimited for that application to be baked on.
After that, I could - and would have, certainly - taken my weathering kits to them and had a good old time of it.
However, my wife took a liking to the shiny "natural" stainless finish; her viewpoints about the layout mean a lot to me. Also, frankly, I was loathe to have to crate them up again to send them back to Stainless.
A subsequent set of bridges, made by Stainless Unlimited for me, I did order with a black paint finish baked onto them (seem here.)
All that is "needed" now is for me to get fired-up about weathering/aging them. Maybe. Doubtful. Maybe.
