Well done Kevin! I admired the original Idaho hotel and was going to build one in 1:29 scale but decided it was too large! Yours is a credit to the original...nice work!
kebmo1 Posted - 02/23/2021 : 5:53:16 PM
thanks bob.
sgtbob Posted - 02/23/2021 : 5:39:46 PM

Kevin very well done. Looking forward to the scenery!
robert goslin Posted - 01/04/2021 : 8:02:58 PM
Kevin well done. Great to see this structure finished, and to such a high level of quality. Really impressed.
Looking forward to the diorama.
kebmo1 Posted - 01/04/2021 : 4:02:54 PM
nope. now i'm going to work on the diorama she'll be sitting on. i have to add a few buildings and then i'll start the scenery.
Carl B Posted - 01/04/2021 : 10:44:43 AM
Probably a Sierra West kit, huh Kevin?
Frank Palmer Posted - 01/04/2021 : 09:30:11 AM

Nice job now what's next?
kebmo1 Posted - 01/03/2021 : 09:02:44 AM
thanks bob. yes it does feel good to say it's done, but as you will see in the pic below, i forgot to install the fascia boards on the end gable. i'll get to it this week.




and the back:
sgtbob Posted - 01/03/2021 : 05:12:05 AM
Don't you just love it when you can say "DONE!!".

Looks very nice.

Bob
kebmo1 Posted - 01/02/2021 : 6:53:02 PM
it's finished. i took care of the last of the small stuff. it's done.



and here's one with the stairs to the walkway.

i also added a 2 step stair to the rear door and staircase up to the second floor door in the rear.
kebmo1 Posted - 01/01/2021 : 9:01:07 PM
an update:
i finished the stone foundation walls and glued them to the structure. then i redid a part of the framing and 48 planks on the front walkway, and finally, the ridge cap.
this pic only shows the foundation wall in the rear (still needs a shot or two of i/a) and the bar mills hinkle's package store. norton's is sitting on top of a frame i made out of 1/2"x1/2" stock to fill its space when i start covering the base with sculptamold i think the road hinkles is on is gonna be an incline.
kebmo1 Posted - 12/15/2020 : 12:11:59 PM

when the weather breaks hopefully i'll have alot of the base done and can take it outside for natural light shots.

perserverance or just plain stubbornness. either way... it got me here.

carl,
thanks.
