Looks great Paul, very nice.

 

[Steve Jones]

I can smell the baking bread from here. Wonderful work. Will there be anything going in the front window area??

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks guys. I think sandbags. PaulE

 

[minitnkr]

Been reconfiguring a bit & working the hardscape. Rearview.

C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

Hi Paul, I recognize the two burn outs but the end buildings escape me. Sources if you please...
Rick H.

 

[minitnkr]

Rick, I think they're Pola or Fallar. They seem to sell each others' stuff so not sure. They both have the same window frame detail as the House Under Demolition. The Theatre was bought at a train show w/o box or instructions many years ago. The bakery has been modified and was part of a mini scene whose provenance I've forgotten. I'll look to see if the instructions were saved. PaulE

 

[minitnkr]

Rick, the bakery is definitely Pola, so theatre is also most likely. PaulE

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks for the info, I shall look for them if they are still in production. Rick H.

 

[Ian M]

Like WOW. This sure is some great work.

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks Ian. Faller has acquired the Pola stuff it seems, and these aren't in the catalog I found, so evilbay maybe the only path. PaulE

All looking great Paul .

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Paul, that gives me a little more to go on. Rick H.

 

[colin m]

Excellent work. And the 1:1 scale ash idea is great.

 

[Steve Jones]

Hows this one going at the moment Paul?? Will we see it populated with models soon or are you still working on the buildings?

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks for the boottothehead Steve. Finished the theater. Working sandbags for the bakery window. My boys came home for the long weekend & tidied basement/cleaned out garage so SWMBO could get her car in just in time for the first snow. This brought the RR benchwork back into the mancave so have been messing w/that a bit. PaulE

 

[Mini Me]

So...does this mean that the corvette has survived another attempt to dislodge it from its residence? Rick H.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Very nice

 

[minitnkr]

Yes indeed. It remains ensconced securely in its' position. Although at the sacrifice of a tidy man cave. PaulE

 

[Allen Dewire]

Come on Bro!!! The poor Vette hasn't left the garage in how many years now??? I do remember you cleaning it off once and wanting to bring her back to life. I guess the dark chocolates killed that idea.....

BTW, I love those buildings and what you are doing with them. This should look great when put into the total scene. Still can't believe how many 250's you have!!!!

Now get outside and shovel the driveway……………..

Prost
Allen

 

[minitnkr]

The snow melted off the new blacktop right away so no shoveling required. Thanks. Finished theater. Still working the destroyed building & bakery sandbags. PaulE
