Thanks!

I guess it really passed the acid test today... I noticed several hundred extra hits to my web page for the building, all from the same site. Someone had posted a link to it on an antique radio forum, and the members there seemed to be pretty impressed with it.

I've started making the interior details for the barbershop, beginning with the chair. The base of the chair is made from a cast-resin metal lampshade I bought at the club swap meet a few years ago. I sanded down the rim of the shade, then filled the underside with epoxy putty:






The chair itself was made from various bits of Sintra PVC foam board, plus some styrene strips, and detailed with nut/bolt/washer castings from Grandt Line:






That's it for now, more later.

Really nice, ol' Scratchbuild! I especially like the leather seat's shape and the rippled footplate. The whole assembly would have taken benefit from painting first and mounting then - but I know that this is part of your outdoor railway and for sure isn't reachable that close when positionend on the layout.

Thanks for posting, Ray!

I'll make it. If I have to fly the five feet like a birdie.
I'll fly it. I'll make it.

Thats a darn impressive barber chair!

Now you need the barber asleep in the chair with last weeks newspaper in his lap.
Or at least thats how I find my barber most times.

I got a haircut yesterday and the chair I sat in looked less real than yours. -- Russ

Now all you need is a scale representation of Russ getting a shave.
