Hey All,
Here is a project I finished a week ago, for a member here. I could not post the build, as I wanted the final product to be a surprise. He should have taken delivery of it this morning.
With the exception of the end girders, and the stair treads everything else was scratched.....
Thanks for taking a look....

Beautiful, I would be a bit nervous shipping something like that.

Janbouli,
Thanks appreciate the compliment....this was the first time working in plastic, so it was a different ball game than wood. I know some people love styrene, but you cannot hide a mistake as easy as with wood.

Wow Loren- that is some really nice work! What a great tower to have on a layout!
Do you plan on attending the Modeling show in Albany this coming November?

Bob,
My pleasure. That is one of the main reasons I post. I hope that it inspires, or just brings joy to another, than it was all worth it.

Well done, very well done for sure.

It looks like Robert Seckler's layout.
