Dave it's great to see all your buildings together in a street. The deco theatre is just so cool. A great bit of signmaking and scratchbuilding.

This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B.,
I ain't got time for that now

This dio shows why--very cool, very unique, and excellently rendered!
WHat's so cool to me is how you have all the signs, text, etc, printed out so neatly, professionally, and in all different scripts and colors!

Thanks! Maybe because I was a sign maker for over 20 years. Doing it on a computer is a heck of a lot easier than painting them that small.

BTW, The Nomad is fantastic.

Main Street Davetown - Part 2

Posted by daveinthehat on Sunday, June 1, 2008 10:08 PM

I started with some inexpensive kits from Model Power and did a little scratch building and kit bashing.

This took me a little longer to do that I wanted. I had some down time because I had to have surgery on my right hand.

I took a couple of pictures while I was building.

I took a few shots of 3 dioramas lined up together.
