I have completed another building to include in the MichLTC portion of the
ILTCO layout planned for the NMRA 2007 National Train Show to be held in
Detroit on July 28 - 30th.

Yeah yeah yeah. Whatever. I think I speak for everyone when I ask: But can
you build anything smaller? Besides the car, that is (which, to be fair,
is actually building bigger as far as our club goes).
Anyways, does this mean it wasn’t fully completed when you brought it to the
last meeting, or did you just need time to produce/post photos?

Was that first one a rhetorical question? If not, do you not remember my Brush
Park victorian and my 8x8 stud vignette: Harry Potter and the run-away mine car?
The building was 99% complete when I brought it to the last MichLUG meeting. I
was awaiting one last bricklink order of 1x1 old light gray plates and 2x4 brown
plates that I needed to complete the detailing at the roofline. The building
was completed on June 7th. -Jim

Mostly good-natured ribbing. I mean, consider the fact that while you may not
be able to claim having the tallest building in a town display (I have no idea
who might hold that record at present), you’ve quite possibly got a claim on
having the one with the most total volume. The only other buildings I’ve ever
seen that even compare to the Fisher in that sense are large hangers (one in
particular had the UCS ISD parked inside). Building small just doesn’t come to
mind when thinking of you.

Er, uh, no, actually. I remember the art museum, which is actually considerably
smaller than the Griswold. Remember, I’m not a town guy.

I remember that one, and that you had at least one other vignette for that
contest. Can’t seem to find any photos of these in your Brickshelf account,
though...

Most people don’t realize that before the depression Detroit was percentage wise
the fastest growing city in the world, and surprisingly has the 3rd largest
collection of pre-depression skyscrapers in the country (after New York and
Chicago)!!
It will be a long time before Jim runs out of Detroit Art Deco office towers and
early 20th Century buildings as inspiration for his building talents! :-D
