In-ko-pah RR: Dos Manos depot

[finescalerr]

Modestly spectacular. The ticket office partition is a good choice. That seems to be pretty common in Southern California depots. -- Russ

You have to be kidding me.  That is far above doing detail work.  Excellent work Ray as always.

I'm keen and watch things in anticipatory thrill.

That's the ticket, Ray! It all looks terrific. Like the rippled glass a lot.

[Carlo]

Ray - How did you make (or where did you buy) the rippled glass?
Carlo

[Rail and Tie]

Awesome work Ray!

...though your penny looks a little out of scale. Maybe try harder on the next one!

[finescalerr]

Carlo, he describes how he made the glass in one of the captions. Go back and you'll see it. -- Russ

[Carlo]

Sorry Russ, but I did go all the way back and I don't see it.
Could it be in another thread?     Help, someone...

....and I quote:

"The rippled privacy glass was made from .015" slide cover glass, with clear gloss medium dabbed on the the back to create the rippled look:"

[McBrehm]

Just joined the forum. Thanks Russ!
I went back and reread the entire thread and am glad I did. Wonderful work Ray and so well documented and described. Can't wait to see the steps in adding the color.  Mike

Ray, always incredible!! When you make the safe will it open by combination,  have money (in various denominations) and other valuable inside?.....Allan

[finescalerr]

Allan, go stand in the corner. -- Russ

I had hoped to be a lot farther along on this by now, but some major family issues have kept hobby time to a minimum. Anyway, I did manage to paint the floor of the waiting area. I used custom mixed, flat, indoor/outdoor house paints to make it look like terra cotta "Saltillo" tiles:

[Bill Gill]

Ray, I could say I'm floored by how good the tiles look, but I won't. The patched/reinforced areas where the columns will stand is a nice touch.
