Part 10: This is a series where I build Chicago "L" Train Platform Laser Kit from a company called "Imagine That Laser Art" for review for The Modeler's Guild (http://www.modelersguild.com/)

Music Notes: The music on this video was recorded using Sonar Home Studio Ver 6.0. The drums and keyboards were played on an M-Audio Keystation 61 ES and/or sequenced in the MIDI Editor. The bass used is an YaMaha 270F Fretless with Dimarzio Pickups.

  • That's Great! Fantastic model representation. Now all you have to do is make another 30 to 40 units to have a small layout. See you in the nut-house.

  • As it happens, I watched "The Blues Brothers" last night, largely filmed in Chicago. During a couple of the car chases, I noticed that the quarter-round pieces are used as supports for the station platforms.

    Nice series; I like your use of higher frame rates during the repetitive activities combined with detailed explanations (not just "how" you do something, but "why" you decided to do it that way).

    Keep 'em coming!

  • I bought mine about 3 years ago and it came WITHOUT instructions....it doesn't look as good as this....

  • the 4 'extra' quarter round pieces connect the supports with the truss... look again at the picture. They are only shown in the top view and not the bottom view.

  • The two pieces you have left over doesn't go on the EL train.I know I'm from Chicago The EL platforms I ever stood on back home in Chicago were always a light green color as I remember them.

  • with the arches at the end couldn't you cut out the inside which will give you the same arches in the instructions.

  • ffdaac dad

  • Looks great! Would love to see an elevated train running over it though!

  • Could use it as a bridge or sommin tbh

  • Hi, can I ask what you used to stain it?

    Cheers -The Big L :)
