Title: First Scratch Build
Post by: fsmcollector67 on September 16, 2016, 01:28:39 PM
Hello All,
This is my first attempt at a scratch build, or for that matter, to build anything in HO scale, not even a kit. I am posting these here on the suggestion of George Sellios. Thanks for taking a look...There are additional pictures of the scene in my Gallery area......plus photo of my latest train station project

Hi Loren,

Well your first attempt is fantastic.  The weathering is right on, and the dilapidated construction look is very well done.  Welcome aboard.

Really nice work.

Hi Loren:

Now that is a really cool building. I know George very well and he has a very good eye for talent. Glad he talked you into posting the photos. You can be proud of your 1st scratchbuild. I need to get back into scratch building.

Loren,
As Cuse said, I just ran across your thread and want to offer my kudos to those all ready posted.
Envy is supposed to be bad, so I guess I'll just have to be in awe of your work.
Please continue to contribute here.
