Wow great show guys....I didn't know one of my buildings was is the show:-)
My police station from a train show 3 months ago
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=278010   A building from
your show show...http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=302112 they
could be twins...same design sqaures etc...same colors...wow...


Yes, Chris is right.  His police station WAS at the recent GATS show.  I
liked his building so much I copied it almost 100 percent.  Actually, I think
his had windows on three sides while my version only had two facades.
Yep it has three sides so it can face inside of our downtown and have a good
side facing the crowd.
Our train station is also taken from MichLug's Livonia show.  We needed a train
station and I had no ideas of my own.  Using just two pictures of David
Kohrman's train station I copied it in under three days.  The hardest part
for me was getting the building's footprint correct.  My version of this
station is about 90 percent identical to David Kohrman's.  I used half-arches
over the windows, for example, and I think he used full arch bricks at least in
a few places.  The roof is slightly different, too, as I went all the way to
the apex in all places where David did not.

Additional pics will be available here pending moderation -->

Cool Kevin...I had no idea anyone liked any of my buildings enough to make a
copy...I was just surprised to think it's worth doing...as for the train
station I said to my wife that your train station looked alot like Davids
but wasn't real sure....Chris MichLTC
