Hi to all.

My website is running and the WW building soon will be there.

Instructions and graphics will be found in Resource section.

 

Thank you to all for your support i hope  enjoy your building.

for any question my line is open!

 

Andre.

 

 

Can you use an airbrush to paint the sides?  or is a spray can the way to go?

 

 

I used spray can. Worked great.

Jim,

As Josef said, spray can work well.

little sand paper after dry and then apply the 2nd hand.

Andre,

 

I tried to get to your website a few times today - it appears to be down and once I get through I am being redirected. Not sure if this is a problem on my end or your but thought you should know.

 

I have the same problem with the website. I am using google chrome as my server.

I purchased a Kresge version of this store as a gift for my Dad.  This will be his first model project.  He is a skilled woodworker and has years of furniture refinishing experience,  so it should be a project he would enjoy.

I would like to put together a supply kit to go along with this building.  He will have the glues and basic tools,  but none of the paints or specialty tools.  Any advice as to what I should include in this supply kit would be appreciated. Thank you

In Point Pleasant, N.J., there's a two-story antique store that apparently was a

Woolworth's back in the day.  It has a deep recessed doorway and the floor leading

up to the door is a mosaic tile construction with a large 'W' in the center.  All other

signage relating to Woolworth's is gone.

Thank you guys for the ideas!

I can make the Franking Sign available too.

My Web site still under construction for few more days so any question please feel free to contact me at andreemd@gmail.com

 

John,

The prototype was painted using spray cans:

-grey primer

-flat black

-red

-Flat white.

Lettering I used golden acrylic paint.

 

Glue, I recommend tide-bond III (green) for the structure.

Some CA for glass and frames. Katz CA doesn't leave the white haze after you apply it.

 

Any other question please contact me.

 

Andre.

 

 

 

Just got my confirmation that it should arrive today......looking forward to it!

You are an inspiration, and so is your work.

I am about to roll out my very first kit. I am working out the final details on an 1886 Eastlake Victorian house that sits on our local museum property.

I have been sweating a little for enough time for all this- a LOT of 3:30 a.m. risings to work on the kits until I have to get ready for my day job in the medical field.

Thanks so much! It is great to know that this can be done, even after a career at HP.

All the best!

ALAN

Looks great Allen !!!! Keep us posted.
Also Peter ,let us know how things turn out on this super ,duper kit from Andre. When I can , I want to get one ,as well.

Nice looking house.  Can't wait to see a model of it.

 

George

Beautiful house for modeling, Roger!!

I always was dreaming about make models. So one day I decide that is time to start.

and here I am doing what I like to do.

 

 

Andre.

These are wonderful models. Like many of us, I grew up with Woolworth's in my neighborhood and when we moved out of the Bronx up to Carmel, NY there was a Ben Franklin in town. Both of my children worked there through High School.

 

Now let's see, where can I fit one (or both) in?

 

Mike

Andre,

 

I tried to send you email (using the website's email address) but it bounced.  Could you send me e-mail (mine is in my profile)?

 

Thanks,

 

George

Hi to all,

Sadly, lunch the website today was not possible.

We are working on it and, we hope, tomorrow morning the website will be up and running.

 

In case you received your building please email me and I will send to you via email the instructions and graphics.

thank you

Miller Engineering just announced a large animated Woolworths sign.   Coincidence?
