Title: The Old Anderson Place by Downtown Deco
Post by: downtowndeco on May 02, 2015, 08:39:46 PM
After a long long delay this one is just about ready to go. This HO scale kit is based on a photo taken by Dennis Cooper of an abandoned house in St. Louis. It will retail at $70.00. I'm hoping this will actually be ready to go out the door in 2 or 3 weeks. Finally. :  )

That's nice, but I sure wish there was a way to 'un-modernize' this, particularly the boarded-up window.  This would make a nice late 19th century/early 20th century house if it weren't quite so decrepit.

Well Dave you're probably right, but that's not what I do. :  ) There are hundreds of other prim & proper perfectly new looking structures kits out there already. I just cut right to the chase & add the character from the get go. Some like it, some don't. :  )  Cheers.

The diorama for the box cover photo is starting to take shape. The signs say "Building Condemned". I'll reshoot this outside this week in the direct sun & better background.

Actually, there are very few, if any, sources for masonry Victorian houses out there...
