Venice has upwards of 400 bridges!
My Venice table needed to have some bridges to span over the canals. Since I am working with a 4 x 4 foot table, 2-3 bridges seemed to be in order.
With many reference images from Venice's bridges, I came up with two bridge designs.
Construction was the same as the raised platforms, 3mm PVC construction and 3mm cork stonework. The ornate design at the top of the left one was achieved with model train OO/HO scale fencing from ebay.
Down by the Docks
More traditional wooden docks made from coffee stir sticks and wooden dowels. I did try to mimic real construction with the beams and cross members underneath the top planks. Added damage and missing planks, along with a half sinking piece. Thin string emulate rope and fine jewelry chain on some of them for added detail. Glued bits of metal hidden underneath to add a bit of weight and help reduce movement on the gameboard.
