(FOR SALE) URBAN BUILD FOR THE LOW RENT DISTRICT
This is a HO SCALE City Classics Grant Hotel Building with DPM modular add on parts to make Vinnie’s Vinyl, assorted people from various sources and a old car that I forget where came from painted up to look a little bit in need of repair. But if you remember urban environments in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s they were a little dirty and rough, lots of paper advertising and graffiti adorned the walls of many buildings in the shadier parts of town … this is lit interior with 12 VDC (9-14VDC for you techie folks) and the “neon” is modified and striped EL wire that I had to un-wire and rewire.
Painted and weathers and all of the decals are obviously mine, most of these are custom made and sized just for this build but available if you want them.
Footprint area is 8″ wide by 10″ deep and appox 9.5″ tall.
This is for sale if interested contact me for pricing details.
A FEW NEW N SCALE SET
Trying to finish out some of the N Scale sets I needed to get put together … and here they are! Still have a few more to go as I get time.
(SOLD) URBAN RENEWAL SOUP KITCHEN
Every model build should have a story and here is this one …
An old (Walther’s) White Tower’s Restaurant that closed down due to a slow economy had set empty for a while and fell into disrepair and became adorned with graffiti, but it was bought by a local charity and is in the process of being fixed up, cleaned up and reopened as the temporary announcement banners say a community soup kitchen for the downtrodden. Workers toil way painting the building and more supplies have just been delivered with a few passer-byes and one of the charity worker checking the progress of the work.
As for the model … this has a footprint of 5 1/2″ X 6″ and is a little over 3 1/4″ tall, lit with 1 LED cool white bulb, 8 figures included and attached (4 painters, 2 sidewalk citizens, 1 inside and 1 on looker). Custom and hand painted graphics, several add-ons with a few hand-made parts.
Interested or have question please fell free to contact me.

(SOLD) FLY INN BAR HO SCALE BUILDING
Ever screw up? I know I do and I forgot to remove a sold model from my store site that had been for sale for a few week and and as soon as I sold it off the store site I sold it on the store site … OOPS! So I had to try to build a suitable replacement right and after talking to the customer I designed a new logo and signage for this build to rename it to a building they grew up with.
A here are the results …
