Title: General Store in 7/8in scale
Post by: henrix72se on November 03, 2008, 02:26:23 PM
Hi,

Just joined the forum. I live in Gothenburg, Sweden. I model mostly 7/8in scale nowdays, but tried several scales through the years.

My current project is a General Store in 7/8in scale, see below. When finished it will give my indoor "pitza" layout an even better feeling for 7/8in scale indoors. Yes, it is big... but it works!

Hi Henrix!

Welcome to the forum. Nice to see you here. Always good to have another "larger" scale modeler. ;)

Looks like an interesting project. Will you be starting a thread in the "Modelers at Work" section to keep us updated on your progress?

Marc

Welcome!
Interesting building, lots of roof lines.
Looks very similar to a building I did some time ago.

Thanks,

Yes starting a new "working progress" thread would be nice. As a start, have a look at my latest logbook at ;

Yes, it is the same!  But I use no drawings, I make my own version of it. The original was only a starting point for me.
