SIRT, those DSL fronts as full buildings are just a terrific example of creative kitbashing and detailing. And if you're "looking at 56...", just think, only 30-40 more years to go :-)
Bob, in just a couple of photos, you absolutely nailed the technique of scratch building to fit an unusual space and produce something really unique without spending a lot of money. Not to mention fulfilling your creative needs. As to your thought "that it's not for everyone..." I think you definitely showed that, in fact, it could easily be for everyone if they gave it a try. You couldn't find an O scale kit structure like that ever, but with some clapboard siding, windows and roof details, all easily accessible, you showed how it could be done in a way that I think even modelers with a little experience might be able to accomplish. A really great job. I've done a lot of this type of scratch building but you've given me some additional ideas based on what you've done. Thanks.
