(SOLD) DPM FRONT STREET BUILDING – ELMO HOTEL
Here is a HO Scale DPM Front Street Kit converted to the Elmo Hotel and lit with 12VDC LED lights …
Not a lot of modification on this one, pretty much a straight forward build with some custom decals and a few custom add on parts like A/C units and Electrical boxes … this one will be available in the store.
NEW SETS AND ONLINE STORE
Well I just about have the ONLINE STORE up to date there are still a few more sets to edit and post but I’m getting down to the wire …. but here are a few of the new sets I have and I will be making a lot more modern stuff as I have seen that more people are modeling modern than I thought … so stay tuned for those.
A little about the store mostly HO and N Scale are listed but most scales are available for most sets and I have set up the options for WHITE, CLEAR, PEEL & STICK and CARDSTOCK and in spite of some of my cost going up (a lot) I’ve decided to lower the cost on the site for direct buyers. Flat shipping in the US only $1 and $3 everywhere else in the world for decals and detail parts and as always if you have questions please ask.
ACCEPTING CHECKS, MONEY ORDERS, PAYPAL, CREDIT CARD – through PayPal you don’t have to have an account to use a CC
So without further ado … here are a few new and newish sets … with a lot more coming as I get time.
(SOLD) MID CENTURY CITY BLOCK – SUPER DETAILED w/ CUSTOM DECALS AND DETAIL PARTS
Well here is my latest diorama, build with Downtown Deco Coming and Going Kit with some boneyard parts to make the diner. Also assorted other parts, many hand made detail parts and custom decal graphics. Lighted by 12VDC LED lighting and the custom made decals are available in my store (well most are some I made for just this build). The window treatments decals are also available in acetate and clear or white decals. These took a while to build, but I admit I’d work on it awhile and quit and start and quit.
The cars (except for the abandon panel truck) are not included in this diorama, but are available if you want them.
I’ll be adding more pix and info to this post later as I get more time.
DAVE’S DECALS AND DOWNTOWN DECO’S JOINT PROJECT “Worst Block in Town”
It brings me great happiness to announce that I, your humble decal maker will have a custom decal set in Downtown Deco’s latest release “Worst Block in Town” (TBA) from the header of “Pepprock Products” to the many signs and ghost images, all will be included in this up coming kit. This is a full half sheet (5.5″ X 8″) of decals.
While this might be the “Worst Block in Town” but it is one of the best kits and set of decals going out there in the world … this HO Scale (1:87) kit has huge ghost decal for the side to be easily seen even at a distance, plus several other decals to liven up your building including the Pepprock Product headers. As you know anyone that has been into scale structure modeling even for a little while knows of the fine work Randy Pepprock does with Downtown Deco. I have personally built several of his kits and I have really enjoyed them as the hydrocal kits provides a workable dimension not available in plastics from the ability to carve in extra detail and hydrocal takes paint (prime it first) better than plastic or wood any day of the week. If you have never worked in hydrocal, try it and don’t let it scare you, because if I can do it so can you.
Anyway
From Downtown Deco’s Facebook Page (Go there and LIKE it)….
