Default Pontoon Bridge Build

I'd been thinking about this project for a while. I found the pontoons on Thingiverse in a much smaller scale. (insert credit here, when I remember it). I enlarged them by cutting the pontoons in 1/2 and printing as large as I could on my Ender 3 Pro and reassembling. Final scale is closer to 1:20 but works for a fun obstacle. The road surface was created in sections in Tinkercad (my first attempt at 3D CAD). The bridge is almost complete. It needs some touch-up paint and weathering. It will only be used for indoor demos for kids. My goal is to use it as an obstacle for FPV trucks in elementary school Veterans Day displays/demos.

Expat tanker has a project like this going, and he's also making the truck to haul the pontoons. So far it looks pretty good, you might want to check out his project, as you guys might get ideas from each other.
