Nice job, Bob.  As usual. 


Jeff

Thank you very kindly Jeff!  Thanks for following along.

That is a little gem. I LOVE the weathering, particularly on the sign. Great job!!


John

Thanks John!  Funny how I thought the sign overdone and you like it.     I'm hoping to plant this one near the (yet to built) Red Hook Wharf someday so it'll be a supporting cast member.    

[ReadingBob]

yeah, seriously...I think the sign looks great! Nice job, Bob.

Thanks Vince!  By the way good luck with the new job! 

[ReadingBob]

Bob, Wonderful job! Considering how dirty and corrosive coal dust is, I don't think you overdid it on the sign. But then I acknowledge having a very heavy hand at weathering, and liking it.  The lighting is over and above cool!  I really like the film noir mood set by the low light coming from the interior through only a few windows, shades drawn, lots of shadows!
--George

Thanks George!  When I lived in St. Clair, PA during the 90's my house was heated with coal (anthracite of course) so I do have a little first hand experience as to how dirty it is.  The basement, where the coal pile and furnace resided, was unsuitable for any kind of modeling because of the coal dust.  Now I'm in Florida with no coal but also no basement.

hey Bob:

Looks just beautiful. What's next?

Karl

Thanks Karl!  I'm in the middle of building FSM Avram's Bakery for John (S&S).  I hope to add some progress photo's to that thread later this week.

Tommy

Thanks Tommy!  Believe it or not it actually helps me identify things that need to be tweaked when I post the pictures to the forum.  It's funny how I see things in the pictures that I didn't notice when the actual model is sitting right in front of me.
