For making mock ups its fine though. If you need to unwarp it apply steam and then set it on a flat surface and put something heavy on top of it, that should take care of the warp.Heislerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825061407797980077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-86871769679312616472013-12-11T10:28:48.467-07:002013-12-11T10:28:48.467-07:00At this point I'm just kind of messing around ...At this point I'm just kind of messing around with these. Its common to make mockups of buildings for model railroads to make sure that what you want to build is really going to fit. I'm also trying to get used to working in this odd 1/56 scale. I really am regretting not having a couple of miniatures with me this week so I could see how everything is working together. The false fronts were there to make a small building look bigger so that whole illusion of grandeur thing is definitely going on here.Heislerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825061407797980077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-90365720881546047092013-12-11T09:47:13.673-07:002013-12-11T09:47:13.673-07:00Very neat building.

The precision it takes is well beyond me. I would like to know the story behind the false front too. It does suggest that they intended to put on a second floor, maybe for living space. But maybe they just wanted to create the illusion of grandeur at the time it was built.

Transporting an assembled building on the road is tough. Will try and knock off another prototype tonight though.Heislerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825061407797980077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-33428070638328744622013-12-10T00:16:14.205-07:002013-12-10T00:16:14.205-07:00ooo this will be good.
