I thought I'd try something different other than the usual wood kits.

The Town of Tahope will need a new Court House and Municipal Building so I decided to build the Magnuson version. This kit is 95% resin with a few  metal casting.

The kit is over 40 years old. Here is the start of something different.





More in a few.

I paid $39.95 for this one and is still available for around $75.00.

SS Ltd. has it on sale for $59.99

Well ya' fooled me.
That facade is almost the same as South Station in Boston, MA. I saw the last photo first and just KNEW this was a magnificent passenger station kitbash coming. But alas, it's to be full of bureaucrats and such. Courthouse? Who am I to judge?
Working on my second million. I gave up on the first.

I agree!  I think Tellynott could do with one of those!  Lovely detail.

Cheers, Mark.

Count me in too.  Looks like an interesting structure for sure.  Load's of detail in those castings.

Good looking building Tom.....I'll be looking in.

Don't forget, if you're thinking of putting a statue out front, we're in the New South and no right thinking pol would dream of putting a politically incorrect statue out front that would offend our brethren, of delicate sensibilities, further north.  ;D ;D ;)

Good looking building Tom, and I do think that Tahope DOES need a statue out in front.  Maybe one of Bugs Bunny to not offend anyone.

Chip,

Sorry about that. I think this would be a fantastic front for a station. Yes, this will be full of southern crackers and kin. 8)

Mark,

I agree, one of these kit bashed to fit Tellynott would really be nice. The details are very nice on the front and side walls.
