Hey All,
Today I have a couple of updates, First I have been working on an interior for the upper floor, which will hardly be visible through the windows, but I have been obsessing about detail. I guess I just wanted to see if I could do it. It is supposed to copy the picture. It is still a work in progress. All of the pieces I cast myself. The second part is the sign is done, and the main building is all put together. Till next time, thanks for taking a look....

I"m so impressed with that machinery! I cant wait to see it installed! Great work, Loren,,, you are making me want to build some interiors for a few of my large structures!

Bob,
Thanks for the comment, the casting was so simple, just made a simple piece out of basswood, bought the Amazing mold kit at the craft store, and made the molds, than just mix and pour in the resin, which also is non-odor from Amazing (made by Alumilite). You Should just go for it......This was my first for venture into casting territory.

Loren,
             I've been riding ACL 1504's coat tails all day, so since he stopped by.  I figured I'd get out and look at the thread too.  Wow! Tom's right, really cool work.  Keep on, keepin' on brother.  Thanx Thom...

Loren,
I love to see photos of the inside of old factories, and you did a wonderful job capturing it in miniature.

Tom, tct, Jim, and Jerry,
Thanks for the encouraging comments, it is what keeps me pushing forward to get better, and better at building. When I look at my own work I consider it okay. I know I can always do better. One day I hope to reach a level of "Is it real, or a model". Thanks again....

Howdy All,
Well I finally finished up with my side track of the interior detail, minus just a few things. Here is what the final scene looks like. Thanks for taking a look...

Thanks so much for the comment, glad to hear you are enjoying the build......One of the reasons why I started to post here........One of the reasons that I am building this display free of charge for a local museum....If one person looks at it, and enjoys it, than it was worth all the effort....
