Nice work Alex!

Excellent job on an excellent kit!!

Lovely, nice work

Alex, you sure do some nice work!

Nice Alex!

I can still hear those skinny squeaky floor boards in the

Port Richmond, Castleton Ave and Stapleton stores.

Also have to mention the great burgers at the luncheonette.

Don’t forget to display the weekly sales in the windows.

  Stapleton, Staten Island, N.Y. store

Looks good! Going to do the gold lettering on the signage?

Thanks, Andre, pennsynut, Dave, Greg,Jeff, Peter, Gary, colorado hirailer, Chris,Mark,Kris,Pete, Steve,and Andrew for the input and nice comments .

Steve(SIRT) I also remember those squeaky floor boards, we lived in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, there was a Woolworth's not far from where we lived . It was so much like the one in Staten Island.

Andrew, the letter's are painted a gold color, right click on the last picture i posted and you will be able to see the painted lettering.

Thanks,

Alex

Boy does that bring back memories--looks like the real thing!!  One question: does the interior smell like a Woolworths too??  

Good build. I like the window inserts on the first floor. It makes the store look much more realistic and adds lots of depth.

Alex

 Nice build.   You going to paint the FW Woolworth lettering Gold??

Steve

perhaps a smoke unit with JT's frying bacon

Beautiful model, Alex M.

Thanks for the memories, S.I.R.T.

I too remember the S.I. 5 & 10 cents stores, and before S.I., there was one on Delancey St. on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, N.Y.C.

S.I.R.T. do you remember the A&P by that park and Woolworth's, in your photo.?

Ralph

Very nice build.

Really nice job, Alex! What are you using for the lighting? 

Excellent!!!

Great job, Alex.  The lighting is very nice inside the building.  

Great job and thanks for the tips on painting the etched glass.  Will try that out on my Ball Breakers building.

Very nice ALEX!!!!!  Love the window inserts!!!

Nicely done Alex

Great job, Alex!  We all have good memories of Woolworth stores from our youth.  My favorite store to go to with my mom and beg to buy toys.

Good morning everyone, thank you all for the input,interest, and kinds words.

rickoshay, the lighting i used is standard 14 volt incandescent bulbs

jojofry, wow my uncle use to take my to Brownies hobbies when i was a kid

My terrible photography isn't showing the gold lettering, so here's two more very close up shots. The gold lettering looks perfect in person.

Thanks,

Alex

Alex, excellent build. Brings back fond memories when my mom took me "downtown" in Bridgeport CT. We would have lunch and downstairs I could get Army figures.

RJL –

We shopped at the New Dorp Lane A&P via train.

Later days parents drove to the larger and closer A&P in Rosebank.

Woolworths also had lots of seasonal items, Athearn HO kits and 45’s……

I can almost taste one of those fountain-made banana splits!

Alex,

How do you like the blind feature?

The night shot look terrific IMO.

thank you for all description and the nice job!

Andre.

Not Alex, but I think the blinds are great! They give one the idea that something is going on upstairs without having to detail it or use inserts

Andre,

The blind feature is outstanding, i really like it. I purposely put the lights hanging so you can barely see them shining through the blinds.

Alex

Your welcome Alex!

Sweet!

you gots skillz.
