Karls Scratch Built Models

[postalkarl]

Hi All:

Also one of my favorites. The Glue signs are from an actual color letterhead from the Royal Glue Co. The main structure is from an article in MR. Everything around the building is from FSM Kit #275 Duffy's Coal Yard.  It was a fun build on my desk at the Post Office finished on 6-11-94. A short 21 years ago.

Some real neat structures, Karl!

The main building for the Royal Glue Co. is from a Rob Corriston article.  It is the Argus Tap and Die.

Hi Tom:

You have 400 photos of my models??? I had no idea I even took that many. The one you posted is a copy of part of one of Brian Nolan's buildings. I built it for my best friend. It's in his living room. I built it once before. Don't know who has that one.

Karl,

Yes, Just over 400. I have about 460 total but the other photos are part of some of your build pictures.

Now I have 405 with the ones Frank just listed. I've never seen that one before. All wonderful models by a Master Builder.

Frank,

Thanks for the pictures of the Royal Glue Co. I've never seen that build before your listing. I've added that to my file as well.

Hi Frank & Tom:

I figured someone would know what the article was. Thanks Frank. I was going to take photos of that one next but now I don't have to. I'm honored that you guys have all these photos of my models.

Thanks:

I really really love that farmhouse, now to duplicate it in N-scale.

HI Guys:

The blue structure, Fenstermacher's (German for Windowmaker) is a semi scratch build. The large building is a Campbell kit with some minor modicicationms. The two small blue buildings are scractch builds from FSM's Barongoulds Tannery.  The J. F. Fenstermacher sign is from a B&W letterhead from that company I bought at a flea market.

I'm with Jan. They're all fantastic but that farmhouse is perfection...the stonework, the lattice, the shingles...all great!

Karl,

Although this thread started out as your scratch build models, many of the pictures I have are of photos you posted of finished models. All great stuff and a fantastic source for future modeling projects.
