Hi All,

I completed 3 more building facades completed for Detroit.  I think I have two
more to go and then I am done.

A few highlights: Maerske blue (I used quite a few of the 1x6 inverse slopes to
get the 1x1 striping effect in the facade), dark green, Znap, upside down and
sideways windows.  And, a couple of cornices I am very happy with.

Enjoy!

Well I'm forward to meeting a lot of AFOLs and train folks, seeing how the NMRA
Train show at Cobo Center in downtown Detroit is only 12 miles from my house!
:-)

Great work Jonathan!  I'll be sure to bring my camera!

One other builder who will be represented there, and doesn't post too often is
Jim Garrett, who has built some of Detroit's spectacular Art Deco office towers.
During the 1920's Detroit was 3rd (after NYC and Chicago) in the number of
1920's office buildings.

Looking forward to the NMRA!

Cheers,
Gary Istok

(...) Thanks, Gary! (...) Yes, I am looking forward to saying hello to Jim again, myself. We met last year at NMRA in Philly which I was able to attend for a few hours one day. His buildings are really remarkable to see in person. Best, Jonathan (18 years ago, 26-Apr-07, to lugnet.town)

(...) Gary Istok.. as in Gistok? Funny, between lugnet, simtropolis (simcity forums) and DYES you see how many Detroiters have taken their love of the city to whole new levels. -mdoyle (18 years ago, 28-Apr-07, to lugnet.town)
