Title: Newsstand in Railroad Model Craftsman
Post by: dougnelson on December 30, 2020, 08:30:24 PM

My newstand project made it into the new RMC.  Don't tell anyone, but it took more than an evening.

So is this like a one night stand? :facepalm:
Looks awesome, and I bet it took a more long-term involvement...

 Bravo.

When I tried to submit an article like that to Kalmbach a while ago it was rejected because of the commercial signage - particularly the "Coke' sign, that they said they couldn't run in a magazine for copyright issues.    I'm glad RMC took this one.

This is some of the best urban modeling I've ever seen in N scale.   It is a rare talent who can build a model and have it shown 4 times real size in a national magazine. I still feel certain I've had lunch in the diner next door.  Or at least a Coke on a hot summer day.

Thanks for the comments.  After seeing what DKS was doing, N scale magazines didn't seem so crazy.

For the next project, someone needs to make an N scale customer reading the magazine article about building the newsstand, similar to people who've built models of houses with a model railroad in them.

@DKS would build it with the customer turning the page.  @Ed Kapuscinski would want it to be a porn magazine.  :D
