Just absolutely fantastic modeling. Gotta love urban decay for modeling anyway :).

Karl,
Happy to see you coming along nicely. Had to pull out an old issue of Railroad Craftsman 11/61 to see the 1st time Earl Smallshaw built Tenement. Good looking plans for both the front & back & sides. Earl was one of the masters that stuff still looks great today. I often think about the stuff he had to work with back in the 60's compaired to what we used today. For stucco he used beach sand from Florida because of the fine grain.

Hello,
Thanks to the folks who have been following along and the kind replies on the work.
This is where the first three buildings are... at a crummy work bench photo.
I want these tenements to look very cruddy since they are located on the wrong side of the tracks.
The front wall of the fourth tenement is colored. It's done with oil paints thinned with naptha. I like the look.
Cheers,
Karl O.

Wow-o-wow! You have really captured the "crud" beautifully without making a mess of things. Those buildings & settings really convey the feeling you're after and yet have all the delicate detail and subtle touches needed to convey realism. Outstanding.

Hi Mario,
Great talk...
As I was making the awning for the bakery using a brass wire frame and brown crepe paper... it hit me. The crepe paper looks like HO scale tree bark. So, I shaped a 3/8" piece of balsa and hit it with spray adhesive and rolled it onto the crepe paper. Trimmed the excess off and soaked it with diluted Elmer's Glue.
I like it...I'll get to the new photo stuff as soon as I can...it's very cool

"I like the look." Me too.
And that tree is phenomenal.
Do you think it would work in O scale?

Sir, you have a fine hand and eye. Your work is pure eye candy!
You are an inspiration.
Love the use of the crepe paper tree bark thing. The imagination is in overdrive!
