Yo Chris, looking good…. you are the zen master. Your attention to detail and doing it right are an example for everyone. You truely set the standard in my eyes. Everyone who contributes to this sight has superior modeling skills. It’s always fun to see what people are upto…oh and I totally approve of the name of that biz as well and keep up the GREAT work.

After you suggested it, I began to research it and it was exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the helpful suggestion.

Glad you went with the haberdashery idea….and I have to say I SO approve of the store name….really it should be up in lights….!!!!!!!!
anyway, as usual, it is inspirational as others have said….I cannot claim to posess the talent nor the patience to tackle anything of this magnitude of detail and accuracy……I FEEL ASHAMED……….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Montane,
I had to do allot of guessing on it but it made sense to roughly mirror the arch details on the 9th floor. I am having tons of fun working on this building and I need to get it done for the Ogden show in March.

I really like the detail around the main door, it looks really good!

Thanks Thom,
You can find sheet styrene in bulk but I am not sure where. But unfortunately the majority of what I do is in strip styrene and I don’t believe you can get it in any kind of bulk quantities that I know of. I do burn through quite a bit of it and I try to have some of every thickness and width Evergreen makes off the strip stock. Every few weeks I do a quick inventory of what I am low on and I stock back up.

Great work Chris. All your stuff on this site is impressive and creative.
Where is the best place to get Evergreen plastic in bulk? You must go through a ton of it!

Thanks Jimmi,
I blocks are actually about 50% bigger than true 1:160. I felt it looked a little better. I am glad you like it though and it feels sooooo great to back to work on it.

Excellent job Chris. Good to see you back at it. Thats probably the best N scale cinder block I’ve ever seen.
