@ScoutingDad posted:Guys, i bought the roller off etsy from a vendor G28MachinistCrafts. He was able to print a new roller 90 degrees to the original. Small brick texture roller. Make sure you pick the direction you want. Vertical pattern lets you roll long sections with the bricks running 90 degrees to the direction of the street. Sidewalks could go either way.
Note the clay does not like to cut so trim to width before embossing. Try a few test rolls to see how hard you have to press to get the print you want. Jeff
There is a duplicate pattern in both rollers he was not able to fix. Basically 2 rows line up with each other. I tend to see patterns in images data and graphs, so this jumped out to me. He said I was the first to notice. Go figure.
Jeff, I have the roller and NARA clay on order. Thank you very much for the assistance!
I have been looking for a mid-century garage or service station that one would have expected to see in a small West Virginia town. One finally jumped out at me on Bar Mills Models website, so I ordered one. It is the Lenny's Truck Service Garage. https://barmillsmodels.com/pro...ge/?attribute_ho-o=O
This model jumped out at me since it looked like a couple of garages I recall seeing when I was growing up. I'll post a photograph of the cover, instruction sheet, or whatever has a photograph of their finished model when I receive it. I am thinking it will go at the front of the layout across the street from the Burger Hut (the building with the big "EAT" sign). That way it could be viewed pretty well, but not take away from the "downtown" two story buildings.
