Hello peoples,here is one of my latest buildings.It will be appearing in our
next train show in 2 weeks along with being entered in the ISCC.
The building is based on one in downtown Detroit that my company is helping
to restore.After seeing John Neals tan building I was inspired to do one of
my own but of course I for some reason can't build on just on baseplate:-)
Many thanks to Amy hughes with came over and took great photes of this
project(and who is hosting it on her web page)Also many,many thanks to all
the BB sellers out there for the parts. www.amyhughes.org/chris   LMKWYT

(...) Very impressive! Let me echo the compliments the others have made, and add a few more things I liked: The (removable!) clear glass roof over the center lobby. I've envisioned one of these in my mind, but it's great to see one actually (...) (23 years ago, 27-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) Wow! All I can say is that I am rendered almost speechless by the size and scale you are working at. Beautiful model!! -H. (23 years ago, 27-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) This is a pleasure to see in person. If you can get to the Detroit area for January GATS come see this thing in the flesh ... err... plastic. Despite the skilled photography :-) the web-size pics don't do it justice. It'll look great in the (...) (23 years ago, 27-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch)
