Very nice detail work.  Especially the downspouts.

Yes, nice work. I particularly like your signage: choice of fonts, layout, the number of elements all fit well with a pre-1950 era.

Thanks guys for the comments. got the sidewalks formed, plaster poured, glued down to some 1/4", painted and stained , then jumped to the next one.

Gary. do you recall the roof top tank manufacturer? I'd like to grab a few of those for future projects.

Howdy Gary,

The structures are amazing, especially the paintwork.  The rooftop details complement the beautiful structures. The overall scene is convincing.

Have fun

Dave, these are scratch built. I use a paper tube that is about 8 scale feet in diameter and wrap with 3/32nd bass wood.

I think Walthers did a rooftop tank kit.  That scratchbuilt tank looks really good.

Thanks for the update.

Scratch built!
In that case, where do you live so I can steal it?

🤔😅😂


I grabbed the same building on the left of the photo "pre-annoyed" at a train show a few years ago for maybe 10 bucks. Couldn't go wrong for the price.

On the right is another City Classics buildings that has been modified and still under construction. Someday....

Since the back would never be seen. I sliced the right wall into thirds. And brought the back side around to be more of a receiving area. These kits hold lots of possibilities for kit bashing. Good stuff for urban settings


Fifth Dave to the right.
