thanks

 almost all my buildings are modified, bashing kits or built ups.  Other than some foamcore/printed paper buildings - which are scratch but not exacly built, I have only one scratchbuilt building . . . bassword, Evergreen and Plastruk plastic.

You have some good ones there, 30thStreet!

I have just one Korber building at the moment, a small factory building.

Very nice never seen anything like it before love the cars and the garage great job building it 

Thanks.  I had a lot of fun making it.  i love the cars and the legend, both.

I'm still working on this one and its the only one I have at the moment. I'm waiting on some MTH smoke units for the smoke stacks and I'm going to build a flickering furnace inside.

That is one very cool building Matt Makens.  Really good looking.  A building with its own "firebox effect."  Nice idea. 

Matt makers, please elaborate on the mth part you will use, can you add a larger reservoir for the GUIs?

thx

Great buildings & photos.

i have built a few 'as is' and some custom kitbashed structures for customers.

Hi Joe very nice photos of your korber buildings great job weathering them looks really nice I see we have the same building just a picture of both sides now and you have another building next to it making it look longer which looks really nice thanks for the photos, 30thstreet.  

304 House with one additional stall.

Custom roof and gutters.

Quincy Mine and Machine.  Front grey building.

Signal tower.

Hi Mike always loved that roundhouse you did a great job building and weathering it the Quincy Mine and Machine is unbelievable looking really nice job many hours building that one layout must look great love to see more pictures of it thanks 30thstreet 

I'm just going to use the standard MTH O scale smoke unit because they smoke like nobody's business. I haven't decided how I will power them but I am going to see if I can get the circuit boards from the MTH coors brewery to make life a bit easier. otherwise I will figure it out. My smoke stacks are going to be 3/4 inch copper plumbig pipes with a 1" to 3/4 reducer on the roof. For the flickering furnace I'll use a bunch of Evans designs fire kits. they are only $7 for 3 LEDs and I can load up the furnace with em

I put my RJK Tool and die and Perfect tool buildings together to make a Purina factory with employee parking. 

Some really great modelling here !!!!  WELL DONE

One Korber, and one DPM, and a scratchbuilt grain elevator.

Nice job 30thstreet

In the second photo, I see from left to right: Ameritown, Downtown Deco and Ameritown. I don't see a DPM.

 This is a just completed scratch build.  The shell is bristle board covered with Plastruct rough brick.  The small windows are Rusty Stumps with fabricated bass wood frames and the freight doors are also Rusty Stumps.  The personnel doors are Grandt Line.  The large windows were purchased at York 15 - 20 years ago.  The exhaust vent is fabricated from bass wood & balsa and the water tank is a new Korber kit.  It is lit with 22 leds from Christmas lights wired cathode to anode with a ballast resistor for each pair.

Kober buildings customized to represent my Textile Mill. By Joe Fauty [Model Structures]: Spinning & Weaving mill, Power House, Cotton & Cloth Warehouses, Mill Village etc.

I decided to fill in a corner that was originally an access hole.

Confusing Duffy's with Ameritown was an easy mistake to make because the window arches do look very much like one Ameritown type, but it is recognizable as DPM because of the size of the panel and the keystone in the top of the arch being different: the DPM panels are narrower than the Ameritown, and only two stories in all cases,  with smaller bricks, too.  DPM is quite wonderful for bashing - a bit easier to use than Ameritown due to how one can put the brickface columsn over junctions between panels. But they are harder to get now.  Both the light brown building in the middle and the yellow restaurant to the right in the photo below are made with those same panels as Ross used for Duffy's.  

Ross,

Oops, I stand corrected. I had forgotten about the arched DPM modular pieces. Thanks for setting me straight!

Here are some scratch builds, a building flat and some buildings:

1st, a building flat made with cardboard, modified City Classics factory windows, brick paper and card stock

Next is a building with scratch built fire escape:

Next is a building made almost entirely of card stock as an experiment:

And another scratch build almost all card stock:

Dennis,

No problem, I do have another Ameritown, and several Walthers buildings across the street. I hope to do some more buildings with the DPM modules, but I've run out of real estate on the current layout.

Here's kit-bashed factory based on a Lionel coaling tower. I got the idea from the late Art Curran of Kalmbach.

Hi Mark I never seen such nice buildings before made out of cardstock and paper they came out looking great great job building them by scratch and not from a kit 30thstreet 

Wow, I love that roof!!!  How did you get that done.  Is i paint, pencil or dry brush?  Excellent!

The shingles are black construction paper over a frame made from matboard. It is dry brushed with some chalks for effect.

Fantastic effect.  I would never have guessed it was black construction paper.  Very nicely done.

Excellent job. I think they are finished nicely with accessory details like the wire spool, worm barrel and signs and that makes them very effective. Jimbo didn't get out of the burgeoning bait and tackle business to go into college football coaching did he (go Seminoles!)?  Well done sir!

Great work everybody! Here is a scratchbuild of the house I live in in Merced, Ca. My version of the vinegar car is in the background. I chose the "needs a paint job" rendition from a photo online...

Might bring back a memory for some here....
