I have since learned that the trick with these is to never assemble the original. Make copies and assemble those, you can have as many as you want in any scale you want, and you can reinforce with foamcore or even wood or plastic for added durability. In addition to the TMP bridge I have a mobile with 5 ships including the Workbee and Shuttlepod from TMP. I have a mock up of the workbee in scale so far.

Thanks for the tip. I wish I could have passed it on to my eleven year-old self back in the day, but still great to know.

I'm working with a cool expanding polymer, and so far have cast and enlarged the hallmark TWOK helm station, an airlock door, and a movie travel pod. Actually the pod is still expanding, as it takes up to a couple months to get a full expansion. I'm getting the AMT bridge in the mail soon, so that'll be the next project.

by the way, lord mudd, think you could share that copy ratio for the Chuck Murphy/Tor Lokvig punch out bridge?
