Outstanding !!!

Only because you told me how easy scratch building is if you just do it one stone at a time

I thought you were going to bring it to the show. I think my half is worthy of showing off :D You have three weeks to finish the base and put a clock in the clock tower ;) Ralph

Backside? I think you have it labeled “streetside”. Whatever side you call it, looks pretty good to me. Ralph

Nice stonework!

#131

Ray, from the quality you put out I appreciate that. I’m still working on your method, just having problems in the stones not being as uniform as your cuts and getting a lot of mortar showing. These were done with exterior grout put in the opening to fill about halfway then the stones were individually placed.

#132

To updatewhere I am

I put this much together for pics now SWMBO wants her counter back. The base is almost ready, but if I take it to the show I need to make a carrier to move it

#133

You did make 2 didn’t you?..:wink:

#134

What 2 carriers Ken? I’m still designing the first one :slight_smile:
Besides it seems to me you just put up a right nice station yourself,that fit right in tha new track area.I think that area is umm…er…umm…ah Pool Valley.

Not much since I built it and Ralph claimed half. Ken wants the second one. But, to get on to the base.

Are those pillars for the roof or light stands?

What material are you using for the base? From the photo’s it appears to be Styrofoam.
