Hello,
I added a new folder to my brickshelf account for the buildings I am working on
and planning on bringing to Detroit to show on the TCLTC layout in July.
It is here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=242451
So far I have 5 buildings done (they are facades only) and, I think, 5 more
about half way complete. I am particularly pleased with the sand red building
being that the part selection in this color is really limited. The store on the
street level is based on a bakery in my neighborhood called "Cookies". I walk
by it a lot but have never been in, or tasted anything from there. I hear they
have amazing cupcakes. I used to eat baked goods whenever I could but quit a
year or so ago. I indulge on occasion now, but rarely.
Enjoy!
Jonathan

| I remember first meeting you and you were so modest about the things you build. What I see is a great builder! These are no exception! Great work, I liked seeing them, I am sure they will look great set up at the NMRA 2007. - Eric (17 years ago, 27-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

| (...) These facades are your best work in terms of the color and proportion. I agree with pretty much all the prior comments. The detail work combined with the color combinations result in the most realistic buildings that I have seen with the (...) (17 years ago, 27-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

| These are nicely rendered, Jonathan, As soon as I saw them, my mind took me back to when I was a kid and my father was building his HO model railroad. His "downtown" area backdrop was lined with plastic building facades just like these. Yours are (...) (17 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)
