Majestic theater

[Candy]

It was 2 degrees this morning but I'm allergic to wool

I managed to get the stringer off without breaking it, but in doing so, I broke the railing. I guess I can build a new railing. It wasn't to scale anyway.

Walt at Rusty Stumps has GREAT stuff for stairs, including a slick resin stringer jig. He ships FAST! Give him a call.🚑

I've got one of those stair stringers and it really does work great.  To me, it is a "must have" if more staircases are to be built for future models....  And Walt at Rusty Stumps really does ship fast, and he has some cool stuff, too....

Candy sounds like she is having  the same kind of problem as I am with the deck and stairs with Wicked Wanda's.  The parts are just to small and fragile for me.  Jim

Here's an idea to strengthen outside stair casing.

Consider making an extension off of the building foundation that might look like a concrete pad or wooden base if you are using wooden sidewalks.  Either way it offers a solid base to hook stuff to and it fits in with the larger planting of the structure when done.

I use small pinking shears I found in the scrap booking department  to cut stair stringers.

Good idea, Bob

Well I have fixed my stairway.  I did a fair job but I am happy with it.

I think this kit is a good one. But the necessity to make an inside wall is dubious. The only way you can see inside is to light the inside. And even then it's hard to see anything.

Stairs came out great.

Candy......

Great building..........

Regarding the interior........... it's the principle of the thing......... not whether anyone else can see in there.

As far as lighting and interiors go I'm sure you already know that one begets the other. The real charm of the theater would be lighting the marquee, theater sign and box office.

The only thing that has me scratching my head would be all the windows on the second floor. I can see maybe one small window on the side wall where the stairway is (for an office)  but the projection booth shouldn't have any windows. But hey - the kit designer can use his/her creative license any way they want. Not a bad looking kit and you did a nice job building it..

Very nice job on that.   I built that theater about two or three years ago and used the same colors you did, but mine didn't turn out as nice as yours.
  Great job

Very well done.

Nice job on the stairs.  Proper pitch and all!
I don't like the "pinking shears" idea because you end up with 45º stairs which are completely wrong.

A nice looking building.

The build looks great!
