My niece is an effervescent young lady who likes to have a good time so what better "proprietress" to choose for this salubrious addition to Cuspidor's social life? The basis for this background flat was an old Lytler and Lytler styrene and metal kit. I built the front as per the kit but the downstairs frontage consisted of a template and nothing else. Poo! So I cut out a styrene wall and inserted MDC windows and L&L front entrance. I wanted a stucco wall and used a spray of 3m adhesive followed with a fine sifting of talc. I dabbed on cream acrylic when it was dry then scraped away a small spot which I scribed for brick then painted red. MDC shutters sprayed white covered with Sharpie gold gave a faded glory appearance. After all this is the depression and even the "entertainment" business isn't proof against that. I need to get a red micro LED for a door lamp to complete the ambiance.
The early years pre 2021 archived here. My freelance adventures in Colorado in Hon3. Buildings, scenery, details and character are my interests with operation well down my priorities. The layout is a scant 8x12 ft so compromises have been made to squeeze in the scenic and building work I love. Influenced by Allen, Olsen and Furlow along with Earl Smallshaw, John Swanson and latterly Sam Swanson. I make no claim to authenticity and retain my tongue firmly in cheek while modelling.
