FOS' Pub Crawl Build

[Oldguy]

You are a lot braver than I am.  I agree that an 8 foot wide bar is iffy, but . . . .

In any case, keep up the good work.

Tom,


Great catch on the overly narrow width of the one bar.  I'll be interested to see how you widened it; blank wall, wider doorway, window(s), etc.  Your threads always end with me picking up a tip or two.  Thanks for posting.

Of course on the "prototype for everything" category, there is Pittsburgh's Hendel Building, at 5'2" wide and three stories high. It once had a lunch counter on the ground floor!

Hendel Bldg.  Sure does look like it's a Model RR kit, doesn't it??

[Jerry]

Tom very nice.  Love those precise corners!

Yeah, and Preiser has really upped their game with respect to figures.

Glad to see you back at the bench Tom !!
As always great thread of Tom's Tips and Techniques....
Looking forward to seeing what you do with your Expanded Pub Crawl.   Making a nice kit design even better.
All the best,

Paul,

Yes, it seems lately my building comes in bunches like bananas.    Thank you for the kind compliment also, I appreciate the support.

Jerry,

Thanks and stay tuned for the widening. I'm happy you get a few tips here and there from my posts. Sharing ideas is what I love about this forum.

Looking good with the walls going up.  That is always the most exciting part of a structure kit for me.
I did not realize this kit was as deep as it is.  Thought it was much more shallow.

George,

Thank you and I agree in that it is always fun to get the walls up. The kit is a scale 26 feet in length, front to back.

Bob,

Cutting walls to change a kit isn't really that scary. I know we as modelers deal with selective compression but this was to narrow for me to go with.

I'll do my best to keep the good work going.

George,

There are many examples for a "prototype for everything" but I've never seen a bar/pub this narrow. Of course, I don't drink so I have no idea anyway.    5'2" in depth is amazing.

Yes, it does and I love the facade look.

Vince,

Good one, I was thinking the same thing. Preiser figures with umbrellas, who would have thought. I love the scale signal lights also.

Very nice Tom. I look forward to seeing your progress.

Curt,

Thanks my friend. This is turning out to be a much more fun build than I expected.
