Chuck Most Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 So... this is your FIRST TIME modeling a building? Looks like you're a fast study- it's all amazing, every bit of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repstock Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 So... this is your FIRST TIME modeling a building? Looks like you're a fast study- it's all amazing, every bit of it. I've been building models since 1973, and scratchbuilding/modifying kits for most of that time, but this IS my first structure. As this one winds down, I've begun a model of a Clark gas station, set in 1977, the same time period as this one. I hope some day to make a big diorama using all of these creations. I really enjoy making every element of the model. The buiding, and all of it's contents. I appreciate all the support. With some really GREAT modelers using this forum, it means a lot!

Repstock Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 I will say this...after looking at all these other posts, in the future I may have to consider trying wood. All I've used so far is Gator board sheathed with styrene, two mediums I am VERY comfortable with. I have never worked with wood before, so I will be studying other posts to see how it's done. I've seen some really cool effects that would be difficult, if not impossible to achieve with styrene. There's some real craftsmen here.

Rob McKee Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 That is remarkable! I thought I was looking at a picture of the real building in your first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repstock Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'm calling this project done (for now). I'm going to spend more time on the Clark station. Here's a couple of Laundromat shots And a few of the TV repair shop I'll start a new thread for the Clark Station. Thanks for all the feedback! http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Repstock/Street%20Diorama/ A link to all photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTMust Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I've scanned the dictionary, but I just can't find any new superlatives to convey my reaction to this model and your talents. I'm just pinned to the computer, waiting for the start of the Clark Station progress thread! Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) John Reid's thread here may help as will a wood structure tutorial he did here. He talks about Ken Hamilton's book, too!! Now he's one to learn from! His shaker shingles are awesome! Edited July 27, 2011 by Tony T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
