I had never considered Millie's in 1/220 before... it would be cute.

Yeah I bet the z scale guys would love something like this, @jimmo.

The Z guys must be asleep... Maybe being buried in this thread is the problem.

Do you do Z-scale Tom?

More progress. Not sure how I feel about the neon black pipes here.



I'll probably hit the fire escape with some browns to tone it down.



Black soot is in the roof's future.

Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:

Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

IMO, a rusty wash will do the fire escape good!

Putty? Is there a better way? Can I run some MicroKleer and just paint over it?

Have you ever posted any of your work? I don't seem to recall ever seeing anything.

Never argue with idiots; they'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

I'm armchairing it right now.  But I didn't comment on Josh's work, just on the ham-fisted castlewall thickness of the kit design.

Josh,

very nice work on the building. If anybody mentions the thick walls, just tell them the building was made out of adobe bricks with a red brick veneer. Most viewers at a "show" wouldn't know the difference anyway.
