Is that some soft-core porn in the poster on the left corner of that fence? It doesn't look like those ladies have any clothes on.
Since L'il Tommy retired from law enforcement, Butty Bobby has got more darin'!!!
That poster is for the 'Ledbetter Sisters Travelin' Review'!

Just don't ask what is in all them cardboard boxes!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Just what I need,more pressure to build vehicles for Bob. I was hoping this summer I could build some for my self. ::)  Raymo

:D  :D  :D

This would look a lot better with some of your cool looking vehicles scattered around it.   ;D

A great thread Bob. I love the rust on the track-stop, among a couple of hundred other outstanding details.

Thanks Mike!  That's a Ringling Brothers Circus poster.  That reminds me though, I have another Hokum's Burlesque House to build.   :D

Thanks John!  It's been a fun one but I'll be glad to put it to bed.  Close but not quite there yet.

Raymo,

I hope you have a big stock. I'm coming for me, myself and I as well as Bill Cutler(PennsyJ1).

I'm bringing cash which is the same as money!

Thanks buddy!  I hot glued that lighting contraption together and only burned one finger in the process.   ::)  Naturally it's one that goes in the bowling ball.   :P   :D

I'm kind of hooked on this lighting stuff.  I need to visit Slim's table at the EXPO and stock up on stuff.

Bob,

Slim's table sounds good to me. Thursday is good also for coming by early.

Hey Gman,

Just because a married guy in on a diet, doesn't mean he don't read the menu!

Thanks John!  Yes, I'm bringing it to the EXPO to give to Robert.  I offered to build it a kit for him last summer and it turned out we both had this one sitting in our respective stashes so I simply took mine out and started building it so he wouldn't have to bother sending his to me.  I'll exchange it for his up in Scranton (assuming he's okay with the job I did on it).

I finally finished lighting this puppy.  If memory serves me correctly I used a total of 16 LED's and 7 Current Limiters.  In most cases I put 2 LED's per Current Limiter which requires a minimum of 9 volts.  There are, however, two instances where I put 3 LED's in-line with one Current Limiter so those require 12 volts. 









One tiny section of scenery needs to be finished.  In the lower left there's 1 inch space between the concrete retaining wall and the end of the diorama that needs something to cover it up.  Nothing is provided in the kit as this area is supposed to be blended in with the surrounding scenery.  I cut a section of a hydrocal wall I had cast to fit and need to paint it and then spot glue it in place to fill the area.  When Robert gets this he can leave it as is or pop it off and blend it into his scenery as he sees fit.

Thanks for checking in!

Bob,

   Looks awesome! What did you do for the rooms inside the buildings? I like the inside of the room of the small building.
