New Cameron Apartments CityScape Built-up Shadowboxes

Those are very nice!

David-

Thanks for the kind words! If I can figure out the correct configurations and listing steps for the website, other options will become available: shadowbox kits, built-up buildings and building kits.

Very very fine work!

Really great!

I believe that I now have the process down to add items to the store and have them better organized at the same time. The Cameron Apartments shadowbox kits are now in a CityScape Shadowbox Kits pulldown menu. Likewise, the original Union Pacific Trackside Warehouse kit is now in a Warehouse Shadowbox Kits pulldown menu. Will work to get Corrigan Station (CS-3) shadowboxes and shadowbox kits up next.

These are cool looking.  I think I'll order something.  But I'm not quite sure what yet.  

Hold off until the Corrigan Station shadowboxes are added to the website. They are a completely different style.

Ok, I'm not any particular rush.   In the pull down under "shop", there are things under the warehouses and cityscape shadow boxes... but the building and streetscape  appear to be "coming" (or blank) -- this is what you mean?

Let me know when the built up buildings are available!!!

We have decided to separate our building models into four categories:

1. StreetScape (SS) buildings will range in height from 2- to 5-stories;

2. CityScape (CS) buildings will range in height from 5-stories and up, and will typically have various height options;

3. Trackside Warehouses (WH) wil be industrial and commercial style buildings, some with loading docks, that could be placed along railroad rights-of-way;

4. Manufacturing Warehouses (MWH) will be industrial and commercial style buildings, some with first floor window and door variations, that are suitable to place along streets or railroad rights-of way.

We have not listed buildings yet as some details are still being worked out. 

The 1st Series of StreetScape shadowboxes was introduced at York two years ago. The six building 1st Series was produced in limited quantities and is mostly sold out. Look for the 2nd Series at York this April.

We are working out the interior lighting details for the built up buildings. Rayxi just put together the Pickwick Hotel built up building prototype this afternoon. You saw the shadowbox prototype when you visited.

We really like your overhead building connector suggestion. An ideal use will be to connect the Corrigan Station Walnut and 19th Street shadowboxes. Here's the two 5-story prototypes placed next to each other. 19th Street is on the left and Walnut Street in on the right. Keep in mind that these are unpainted prototypes.

Sweet, Doug.

I need to ask you a few questions... I'll give you a call in the shop on Monday. Have a nice weekend.

Paul-

Looking forward to it! You can try today or tomorrow, also. It’s not like I have to go too far.......

Well done!

Peter-

Looking forward to seeing you at York in April! Stop by to see a slightly larger display booth.

Can the Cameron appts be ordered without the bay?

Marty-

We are certainly able to do that. Are you interested in the 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-story version? Shadowbox kit, built-up shadowbox, or 6" deep building?

The Corrigan Station built-up shadowboxes and shadowbox kits are up on the website. This includes the Walnut and 19th Street elevations, in 5- story original design or 10-story as-built versions, and all in built-up or kit form. We can also produce Corrigan Station as a complete building with Walnut Street as the main elevation (13-1/2”) wide and 19th Street as a 2-bay (8”), 3-bay (11-3/4”) and 4-bay (15-1/2”) depth. Lots of possibilites! Reach out to us directly if interested.

I like the idea of 2 or 3 together.  If you put a gap between them, what should you show in the background?   

We're going to make an overhead connector for Paul that is 7" long. That is going on the assumption of two 10-foot wide road lanes and 4 feet of sidewalk on either side. For the background, you could paint the street and sidewalk with vanishing points or just have your finish as per your usual.

I was thinking about stacking them 3D so to speak besides just next to each other.  in other words a back ground building (or face in this case) and then some in front of that but with gaps.  sorta just trying to imagine how'd that look.  truthfully i wouldn't start with that though.

Another consideration if you have the space for “depth stacking” is our offset shadowboxes. In each 12” or more  of length, the side gets deeper by either 1/2” or 1” so the building “flat” is technically no longer that against the backdrop surface. This is our Lehigh University color-schemed (brown and white) three piece UP Trackside Warehouse (WH-1). It is 1” deep on the left side and 3” deep on the right side.

Is that under the "shop" tab?

1st go at an overhead connector for the two Corrigan Station shadowboxes. It winds up being 7-7/6" wide. The cutting mat grid is 1/2", the cars 1:43. Your thoughts?

Yes, the For Sale items are under the Shop tab. We are calling our five story and up buildings CityScape.

I think the connector looks great.  But my question was referring to where on the shop tab the 3" sided to 1" sided structure is located...  it's not jumping out at me...

Severn;

Is this what you had in mind??? These are a couple of Doug's pieces that I am in the process of placing on the layout (all of these will eventually be flat against the wall). You probably wouldn't want a building with a loading dock in back (that's all I had available), but Doug offers several options without the docks.

Very nice job, Doug. I love that the alternating windows on the bridge mirror the two facades.

Doug,

The bridge looks great. 

I have a similar application for this except mine is in a corner of the room where two double tracks disappear through a wall. 

I was thinking of something like this, except turning the building on the left so it would be flat against the far wall and the bridge would connect to the front of that building. 

The other side of the bridge would connect to the side of the building as in your example photo.

Severn-

I never got the offset shadowbox posted in the store.  The OGR Forum thread about is started on December 27, 2017. I have a client coming over in about 5 minutes to talk Penn Station. I'll effort to post it afterwards.

No worries for me, and I could just email your work address instead of clogging up the forum with lots of little questions. My feeling is they all look great. And Paul that's exactly what I was thinking about...

A brief break from shadowboxes to swap the Penn Station Main Waiting Room out for the 7th Avenue Facade. Probably the first time that the two elements have been together in twenty years. Original HO Scale model by the Hagley Museum.

Further development of an overhead connector for the Corrigan Station shadowboxes. We're looking at available options of either straight or staggered louvered windows, see-through or paneled arch and see-through or solid rear wall. Here's one of the versions:

Looks great!!

That is way cool. If your doing a survey (which seems to be popular around here today), I'd like the window section to have a solid back wall, but the arched section to be open.

Really nice job, Doug.
