Skinner's Row

[Ensign]

Hi everyone, I thought I would share with you my version of "Fine Scale Miniatures" Skinner's Row.
I had started a build thread on the now defunct RRLines forum of this kit, but unfortunately the forum shut down before I had a chance to finish it.
So I thought that I would share with you some images of how my Skinner's came out looking.
I changed my Bootlegger's a bit from the kit's design, by making it one structure instead of 2 separate structures.
I also added LED lighting to all of the buildings.
I still need to add the utility poles and street lights and some figures & other details from the kit.
So it's still not quite finished yet, however it's far enough along that you can see how it's turned out
I hope you enjoy the photos!

Greg,

Fantastic looking build. Love the lighting and the fact you changed the kit. I too am one to kit bash a kit and make it different than all the rest.

Thanks very much! Tom.
I always think you should change a kit model a little or a lot, to try and make it different from it's original design.
That way it makes it a little more unique.

Greg, thanks for the pictures.
Just like all the other builds you've done, this one is outstanding.
All of it, the painting, weathering, construction, detailing and lighting is just the way it's supposed to be.
Congratulations on a fine model.

Great job on the kit.  It'd be nice to see when you have all the details and stuff finished as well. (hint).

Another fine example of your work.  Everything is outstanding the weathering and the lighting just make it perfect.

Mike, Gregory, Philip & Dave, thanks so much for your posts & kind comments within them!
I am part of a layout tour this coming Saturday known as the "Doubleheaders" layout tour.
This Skinner's row scene will be incorporated into my Magoun pier module for display.
So I'm really trying to get as much done on it as I can before then.
Here's another pic of it with more details added into the scene.
When you start adding figures & cars it really starts to bring the street to life!

Very nicely done, Greg!! 

A question, though... have you moved this to the UK?  Vehicles here run right hand, and from the photo it looks like you've moved to left-hand running! The text on the signs is correct, so the usual FB backwards print isn't involved....  Whazzup?

Thanks Pete!
That's funny I didn't even notice that I did that, I guess I've spent to much time driving in the Bahamas Mon!
