Is there room at the counter for a "Rolaids" dispenser?  :trollface:

Seriously Brian, thank you for the time and effort it has taken to produce these (along with all your other projects). I will be in for one.

No way that sign would have comic sans! :D

 :)

I'm more than open to alternatives.

No, that's Uptown/South Minneapolis.

And a bit of trivia, only three blocks from GHQ (if he's still there).

But if you ever want some neat train stuff to see in Waterloo, let me know!

Jason

Minneapolis is a bit out of the way but ironically my son was there 10 years before moving to Waterloo.

I've been to Caboose Hobbies in the twin city of Cedar Falls, IA several times and have found something interesting to buy each time.

Do you live in Waterloo/ Cedar Falls?

Back on topic, I'm still in for one White Tower!
Best regards,

Roger

Jason here is a cell phone pic of the sign I found online:



The font looks similar to Gill Sans Condensed or Humanist Condensed, but the "a" in "Established" throws it off and makes it tough. Could just grab an "a" from Futura as a substitute. Then again, at the microscopic size this would end up at, no one will know what the hell font it is anyway. :D

No it's just the area I'm interested in Modeling.

Thanks Jamie.  That's much better than the pic I was using.  I thought that lettering had more of a hand written look hence the Comic Sans. 

There's a bunch of of other stuff I can fix too.

INO still exists, correct?   

Over N Out
would be fine too.  Texturing like that on White Tower is the key along with the general double drive through design.  From there its just red/white paint, a menu board decal and some crossed palm trees...

I think I'm done.  Anyone who wants the file when/if WT becomes a reality is welcome to it.  I can make what ever combination of wording from what you see here.  The red is the largest space Bryan said could be available on the building.  I didn't end up changing the small lettering on the bottom.  It's just not worth the time for how small it is and I like it much better than anything that approximates the actual lettering.

The announcement for taking pre-orders on the two buildings should be posted early next week, after I return home.  Just waiting for final confirmation from the new contractor that everything is a go.
