Sunday Showcase 3/3/13

Patrick,

I was waiting for you to start. Your building is fantastic. I wilkl go back to my roots and post an oil terminal model I constructed.

Alan Graziano

Outstanding work on the Linoleum Factory, in particular the roof[s]. 

We even had linoleum in the so-called Living Room during the Great Depression. The print coating was worn off at the front entrance so Dad glued a piece over it that he had saved where the metal mat under the Warm Morning Wood Heater was placed[we couldn't afford coal until 1940 and then WWII came and restricted its sale].

Great job Patrick.

Another excellent Terminal from the past Alan.

AWESOME work so far everyone

Here's a few photos of two Korber models I just finished building and weathering

Alex

Awesome work again this week.  The factory is fantastic. Great job on weathering the   Korber walls. Oil terminal is beautiful. Leslie's station is coming along nicely. The attention to detail is wonderful.

Finally got around to painting and weathering my tunnel portals. A little floquil weathered concrete paint and some black weather chalk made a huge difference.

Before.

After.

Great everyone. All top notch results. Thanks.

Man RickO--you are causing chill bumps today. Great scenic work!

All those buildings look Great! I just constructed my train station platform out of plaster of paris and that is the fastest I ever had to move on the layout!

great story Dewey

 most interesting thing to me was that originally sail cloth was put on the floors to keep them warm. Then someone came up with the idea to coat it with linseed oil .

Some great work this week ALL

Y'all done good. Real good ! 

Great work Patrick. I wish I could build omething like that.I will stick to doing custom cars.Just finished 2 more Heinz cars.I have to bring it and run it on our next Train Running eve.

Alan VERY nice work on this project!

I also was looking for the Sunday show case before I went to Church. Patrick must have been in Church early or he was taking pictures for the show case

My 1st layout, April 1959, 14 years old

I honestly have to say that the average quality of work presented here each week just keeps getting higher and higher.  It's getting scary!

Patrick, the ambition and quality of your stuff has gotten incredible. You are among the superstars around here.

Great work everyone! I am not even going to bother with mine. Your practice pieces probably look better!

Patrick.....You truely hit it out of the park with your factory. Between you and Alex you guys are raising the bar to new heights around here!

Jim.....So glad to see you and Leslie back on the forum again. The talents and skill of the two of you have been absent way too long.

Steve......As usual your railcar weathering skills amaze me. I feel like I am walking down a siding checking out the real thing when I see your creations.

Mike CT.....Your attention to detail leaves me anxious to see your handiwaork when you start filling in the rest of the scenic elements around your structures.

Televue.....That plaster platform looks great! Just like poured concrete!

RickO......The only thing missing now is the cold blast of winter air!

Alan.....You ARE the king of Modeling with Plastruct and Styrene. Nothing surprises me any more when it comes to your ability to create a model.

Ahem....Mr. Vulcan, Are you goofing off again and neglecting your fan base? We anxously wait all week to see what you have created during the week?

These new kids on the block are not making you nervous are they?

Always appreciate the kind comments Strogey.

Let me know when you are R.f.R and I'll do up some items for ya.

S.

Thanks for waiting i was due to start one.         

 great work as usual

yeah Doc  you can post those pics here ya know

i seen ya looking around this morning pops.so i jumped in. Me and the wife went out last night and had a little to much wine ,so i missed church, well she made me miss church.

dont get him mad,i think he's building coffins!

Good point. I saw him create a bait tank and an "O" Gauge bobber and fishing line once. No doub't he could create my bones for one of those coffins or worse yet the ashes from the creamatorium!

Mike CT.....Your attention to detail leaves me anxious to see your handiwaork when you start filling in the rest of the scenic elements around your structures.

 Strogey,

Thank you,

Mike

Patrick,

It was nice of you guys to come over for a visit yesterday.  Thank you for the kind words of encouragement about my efforts ! 

Patrick,your modeling skills are just extraordinary and outstanding.  Good luck with your endeavors.

Mike CT: the same goes for your layout.  It is a gem.

Norm

Fabulous work here on this thread. Unless I am mistaken, the quality of the work gets better and better. Masters of scenery and structures areposting here. Many thanks, once again, for your suggestions and support.

Here is the "Founder's Building." I call it the Munoz Building named after my Father-in-Law, Fil Munoz. Ginny, the Mayor of Munoz, is very happy with her father's office. Photos of actual rooms are recessed 1/4 inch for depth and perspective. Though I included a dozen interior lights, I am still dissatisfied with the light that fails to illuminate the rooms properly.

I THANK YOU VERY MUCH STROGEY FOR THE KIND WORDS

ALEX

Alex, I saw your new Korber backdrop building at York and was delighted that they have new buildings in production.  I had to narrow it a bit to fit my space and didn't put on the fire escapes since it is a warehouse on my layout, but it it neat to see how people are using the kit.

Peter A

Looks awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex

I got quite a bit done but when all was said and done it didn't look like much. Didn't seem worth the waste of film, I mean, megapixels.

How tall did you say you were again, Ken? 

Super showcase this week, All !!

Wow Guys,

Great work all round this week!

Alex, Peter, Super nice jobs on the background building!  they look great

Nice work everyone! Not sure if this qualifies here but I reworked the deck pallets on a Weaver Flat Car. The girders were made also on my laser cutter.

Cesar

Cesar Thank you for posting. Very Nice work.
