Title: Suncoast Icing Platform
Post by: bob the builder on November 03, 2018, 08:15:35 AM
Has anyone built a Suncoast Icing Platform ? I have done searches and found nothing. I have picked up one in HO and the 18" extension. Any (pictures, articles) would help!

                                                                               Thanks Bob

Rick,


The only thing I could find is a couple photos of one in O scale.  Link attached.

LHS AKA Sayre Hobby sent me these, same buildings with a curved platform. If I didn't almost have it done I would have made it that curved!

Hey Bob:

Great job. Love all the colors and stains you used on the kits. Foliage looks great too.

Bob, very nice and lots of details. Great job. How did you get the "wet" look on the platform in areas where the workers are loading the ice?

               I just brushed on some gloss coat and it worked!  Surprised me too!   I have some more pictures if you want to see them.

Bob,
Like the icing platform a lot. Brings back memories of the ones on the south side of Chicago on 31st and Ashland when the reefers brought in products to the city back in the 50's and 60's.
