Plenty of LSPs, but also HO trains, On30 trains, and G trolleys for the cabin. And most of the Bandai 1/72 Star Wars Kits, they’re so cool. Of course I have some pretty grandiose plans to do some very large historical architecture builds. The grand old wood hotels of the Catskills in particular.

CANicoll Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I don't think its big enough. Beautiful work and congrats on making a living out of what for the vast majority of us is 'just' a hobby. Do you find the detail work in your 'pleasure' builds a relief from your commercial work or just more of the same? Thanks for sharing - very cool!

jimbo Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Thanks Gerhard! Thanks Chris! Good question Chris; the beauty of doing builds for myself is there are no constraints. I actually tend more towards OOB, to de-stress and unwind. But the commercial work, especially model railway stuff, it’s like Hollywood special effects, I only tend to do what is necessary and will be seen. No sense detailing the side of a building that’s up against a backdrop. All that said, it can be hard to not go the extra mile. One of my biggest flaws professionally, not knowing when to say when lol... Jimbo BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Nice work. The Kentucky Fried Chicken is a nice touch, and dates the era nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Wow.... I have to ask and you certainly don't have to share if you feel it's inappropriate but how much would that layout go for (even just a ballpark)? Fantastic work, hope your client gets many years of enjoyment out of it. Edited February 2, 2019 by John1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
