Hotel de Paris (HO scale kit-bash)

[Yannis]

Hello everyone,

First post here (with some actual work), new member, glad to be here! This is a kit-bash project based on the merge of two Auhagen kits (Smith Street 17/19). I added/removed/edited several architectural elements from the North-European facades in order to have the appropriate look for a small hotel in my downtown area. I hope all photos etc appear as they should.

This is the finished building with some primer.
Masking and painting of basic colors.
Masking removed, basic colors done.
The main blade sign, custom designed and printed by myself.

Finished Building on the layout.

Thanks for stopping by!

Great job on the build. The sign is exceptional.

What Curt said, great job on the build and welcome to the forum.

Very nice!  The building has a nice 1910-1920 Art Deco look to it.  The sign lettering further matches that era.

Howdy Yannis,

Welcome, and wow, nice kitbash.  The back looks amazing, too.  The sign is clever.

Have fun,
