2) Description of the existing structure and reasons for changes
3) Planned modifications (removal of the diagonal braces and
portals, replacement with B-B girders and styrene, using the
new Micro Engineering decals to represent rivets, etc.)
4) Photos of the modifications
5) Painting and weathering with artist's acrylics, brushes and
cosmetic sponges
6) Conclusions: don't be afraid to re-do something that's
already finished, applying new techniques to old models, etc.
I've uploaded a photo of the existing bridge in my MRH folder-
it is dsc_0027. I assume you have access to this folder- if not,
let me know and I'll e-mail you a copy. Let me know if this
would be of interest.

Good news! The folks at MRH are interested in my article. At
this point I printed and reviewed all of the article submission
material I could find on the MRH website.
I made a list of what would be needed, i.e. bill of materials, list-
ing of photo captions, etc. and set up folders on my computer
for the project.
I went back and reviewed a number of previous construction
articles in MRH with an eye toward how the article was put
together. I also realized that I was going to need to spend some
time with my new digital camera in order to be able to submit
photos that would be acceptable.
