HO Tom Yorke Pool Hall and Bordello

[darrylhuffman]

Back in the late 1970s, Tom Yorke produced a classic model, his Pool Hall and Bordello.

After stalling for 40 years, I finally built his kit and found it to be a great pleasure to build.

The back side shows the excellent stone carving done by Tom. 

For the corrugated siding I used Paper Creek Models paper.  When Paper Creek closed down I scanned their sheets into my  computer.  One nice thing about doing it this way is that I can control the color of the rusted metal and I can also use my photo editing program to add signs directly to the printed material.

I thought about making the larger building a hotel but ending up calling it Goldy's Place.

Very nice looking build.

Thanks, Curt.  This was one of my most enjoyable kit builds.

This is the front view.  The sign on the pool hall was found on the internet, downloaded and resized to fit my space.

A close up of the trim on top.

The bird's next is OK but my O scale bird's nests look better.

The fancy trim is falling apart in this photo.

This kit is one of the classics of "Craftsman Kits". 

What kits from Campbell, FSM and SRMW would you put into the "Classics" category?  I think the SS Ltd "Drug Store" kit deserves to be labeled a classic.

Slightly off subject (as usual), I looked at Darryll's YouTube feed tonight and was amazed by his postings.
Just what I needed: one more 'Subscribe To" that will delay my actual efforts, but at least they will be breathtaking when I get my "stuff" together.
Thanks in advance, Daryll!!
