1/35 Phoenix highway bridge kit

Earlier this year, came across only one video on this kit with me finally breaking down and buying it. Cost $61 for the kit/shipping from Hong Kong. And no, they don't have a U.S. distributer because I checked. Question is, has anyone else bought this kit and built it? Going for zombie/apocalypse type dioramas and these are some of the paintings from Google. Though I won't be building massive dioramas and couldn't find anything about this kit on this web site.

Never heard of that kit before Will! From the paintings it looks awesome.

Phoenix has 2 other vaccuformed highway/roads. I used 1/35 Phoenix highway kits as my search on Youtube and only 3 reviews came up. I checked out Google, came up with these images. While you've got a flat onramp, wonder if a 3D printer could actually make you a raised onramp? In sections of course. Once you have that, you could make your own silicone mold of it. At $61, the highway bridge isn't cheap which is why I'm thinking of trying to cast a mold of the major pieces. Then cast parts in plaster of paris, Hydrocal or even some new stuff I got today called perfect cast which is suppose to be 5 times stronger than plaster of paris. Expensive in making molds of these parts in silicone, but once you've got your master, the price drops big time.
