Title: FSM Houligan's Alley
Post by: pbltrains on May 13, 2018, 05:43:57 AM
Hello all,

I recently finished an "edited" version of the FSM kit "Hooligan's Alley" (I didn't build one of the structures in the kit).

I am very pleased with the results, but I think its hard to mess up a George kit (his instructions are the best).

If you are coming to the Narrow Gauge convention in Minnesota this September, please come and see it in person.  I am on the tour.

Seth,
I agree with my brother from another mother across the pond (the good lookin' Mike).  I just love the whole scene.  There's a little-known secret in modeling.  If one model's anything and throws in an FSM kit, they're sure to win any award or contest.  Excellent job!  Thanx Thom...

Great job, Seth. Good chance I'll be at the show. I'll try to come hunt you down.

I have that kit too -- unbuilt, yet. Hope it turns out as well.

HI all,

Thanks for the nice comments.

Bob, the roadway is Durhams Water Putty.  I like the way it takes color (versus plaster) and it seems more durable over time.

Really outstanding Seth. Might be the best Houligan's version I have ever seen. Thanks for plugging the NNGC layout tour- Art VanDeWater has really put together an incredible array of home, club, modular, garden, and live steam layouts- over 50 in number.


And thank you for being on the tour Seth- you will steal the show.
