Two Structures


Two new structures have made it on our layout. Though not quite finished, it's nice to see some actual buildings. With just two structures, they quickly begin defining the setting and era. Both are freelanced. The larger building, Water Street Marine Supply is missing roof detail. Eventually a billboard and roof access shed will be added. The smaller building is missing signage and details, but will also be a maritime business. In the foreground, the seawall will eventually be hidden by the next structure on the list; it will sit out on the water on pilings. It'll have to wait until after the Springfield Show.
Speaking of Springfield, we'll be previewing two new kits one is, sort of, a gas station, the other a small retail shop. Both are HO, much to the shigrin of N, S, and O Scalers who have patiently waited for some kind of release from us in those scales. Hopefully within the next few months we'll have something. We've been trying to catch up and keep up with the last few shows and finally Springfield. Now with break in shows we can focus on many new kit ideas for 2008.
We'll post pics of these two new kits very soon, or come and see them at Springfield where we'll have a few on hand for sale.
