Bad news for those (like me) that don't like the cold. :(

Morning all.

Its been 4 years since I finished my Light Street Pier model. It always makes me feel warmer on these cold January days.

So I thought I would offer some Eastern Shore Peaches for your breakfast this morning, fresh off the Tolchester Ferry. They'll be great on your yogurt!

Stay warm!

Tom,

If you click on a photo in the gallery, you should get a list of code options. If you copy the one with the
"[img" at the beginning and paste that in your post, it should populate the photo from the gallery.

Hope that answers your question,
Matt

Morning all. I spent some time this weekend working on this scratchbuilt pawn shop. Looks like a fun place to hunt around for those last minute gifts.

I think it looks awesome, Tom! I really like the colored glass detail.

I would recommend adding additional stripwood details. Window sills. Stiles, rails and raised panels to the broad space below the windows. An astragal dividing the door leaves. Defining the door jambs with a little strip that will separate the doors from the side lights. Once these little strips are added and then hit with a weathering drybrush, they will really pop and give the storefront even more detail. It's certainly not necessary, but a relatively easy step that will take this up to 11.

That looks great, Tom! All of those little cuts!   :o  You have certainly earned that Diet Pepsi today!

I have built a number of storefronts. It is all about adding layers. I like your idea of file folder. I might recommend using one piece of file folder for the entire storefront, encompassing both doors and all of the windows. Cut away the glass openings and start cladding the folder material with layers of your strip material. That way everything will stay in line and be less fiddly.

Morning all. It's Thanksgiving prep day! Hope your turkeys are thawed!

Todd Wiley had some nice things to say about the forum on their most recent podcast and shared the Challenge information. https://wileysscalemodeling.com/
