10? 12? I'm not sure, I did it over several weekends. My first attempt was using basswood, which started warping. So I went with styrene, which I am more comfortable with. I didn't have prototype measurements in mind, I'm not that exact. I did it by eye and went with what looked right. Thanks for the compliments Coach! :)
Sorry for the double comment , but I just watched this video again and I'm just still shocked by how good your layout is. It should be in a freakin museum or something! Seriously! Question: what did you use for your river water? I'm going to be doing the river on my layout soon, and as of right now I'm leaning towards using envirotex. Thanks!
Frank, after your last message about the rooftop sign(thank you by the way), I went to your flickr channel to check out the pics.. I saw your artist, the new tug and the barge under construction. Said to myself, these must be new additions we havent seen yet, and presto... you do a new video... lol. I saw the street fight too, that was pretty cool. You have captured our old neighborhood to the "T". Rob is correct, you are a definite model master !!! Bravo Sir !!!
I'll be honest Frank and I always am....Words are not enough to describe the incredible craftmanship you have displayed in this video. I am in awe at your attention to detail and you have MAD SKILLS my friend!! Outstanding Job and this is going right to my favs. See what I mean...Ouststanding just does even do this juctice that is why I do, and ALWAYS will, call you "The Master" God Bless my friend!
Once again a very nice video. Apparently, the painter standing in front of the canvas is not the only artist out there ...

Yes it is. I printed a digital picture on copier paper. Then I made sure that I put the same cars back on the carfloat! :)
