(FOR SALE) THE WONDER WOMAN MUSEUM – HO SCALE

And now for something completely different … the Wonder Woman Museum HO Scale building … Found some little Super Hero statues at the Dollar Tree and grabbed a few different one Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and  thought ‘Hey there is a giant Superman in Metropolis IL and the Superman Museum so why not build something like that?’ and since I have Superman and Batman and Might find some more I may do those too depending on if this one sales.
anyway about the model this is all custom sizes and modified decals to fit this building with a hand scribed base and some mistakes at no additional cost. The footprint is 6″X8″ and it’s 4″ tall – lit with two 12vdc LED’s it will come bare wired unless you want it wired for a 110VAC plug than that’ll be about $20.00 – as for price I’m entertaining offers as I’ve never made one like this before and don’t know where to start … might just toss it up on ebay and see where it goes.

Here are the pics …

(SOLD) NEW BUILD UP MODEL HO SCALE MAMMAW’S GARDEN WINDGATE APT

I’m calling it about 95% finished, I have a few touch up and things to do I didn’t see until I took the pictures but no real big things so I’m going to go ahead and post it for sale.
This is a Hydrocal Building from Downtown Deco with a number of custom decals and hand painted graffiti in addition to decals graffiti, building is lit with 12VDC LED lighting and is ready to be wired into a layout or have a 9VDC battery added which I’ll include (loose) with purchase. Set in the 1970’s and 1980’s which tagging and graffiti was king, MAMMAW’S GARDEN and WINDGATE APARTMENTS … you notice Mammaw didn’t put up with kids tagging her building and painted over the graffiti and a few vines got out of hand in the back, the WINDGATE is a low rent Apartment on the wrong side of the tracks so graffiti pollutes the sides as the slumlord only care about the rent and was too cheap to buy a decent sign and just painted the name on the side.  Few roof details and old water tank with A/C units and wiring and with window decals and silhouettes. Old dated advertising on the sides echo a forgot era.
PRICE is $375.00 plus S/H
NOTE there is a repaired crack in the left wall of Mammaw’s Garden I did that while doing the graffiti on the other side by not realizing I had it setting on a brush, so now the crack is part of the buildings history.
If you have questions ask!

NEW BIGGER 18 COLOR WEATHERING POWDER SETS ARE COMING!

OK did a little asking around and some folk would rather I have names for the weathering powder beyond their “technical name” – something like IRON OXIDE BLACK would be “SOOT, HEAVY GRIM” or IRON CHROMATE might be GRIM, ROAD DUST so I’ve been working on names of these powders but since they can be used on anything I’ve be reluctant to pigeon hole hole them with a specific name … believe it or not naming colors is harder than I thought.

These are all natural 99.7 pure pigment, not chalks, no fillers, not ground up pastels, pure earth pigments ground to 325 mesh.
