Becoming increasingly disatisfied with my previous effort to model the Academy
of Music, a now demolished Louis Sullivan bldg in Kalamazoo Michigan, I decided
to tear it down and build new.

The new version is larger and more detailed.  It includes a fire escape,
detailed storefronts, and a more realistic cornice.  Compared to the old it is
a vast improvement imo.

The resulting efforts with a detailed description and history can be found
here...

Or you can go straight to the brickshelf gallery to view all of the pictures as
well as pictures of the older version.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!  Thanks!

(...) Hi David, I think you really brought this model to life! It looks great. Taking the photographing it outside really adds a lot too. I really like the street level changes/additions as well as the wider windows on the other levels. Congrats! (...) (22 years ago, 10-Sep-02, to lugnet.town)

Hey, this is great. The new cornice is really good. How did you attach those white 2x4 plates that have their bottoms facing out? Bruce (22 years ago, 10-Sep-02, to lugnet.town)
