Cuspidor and Southern RR History

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.

A minor diversion 3

Interiors

I don't normally do interiors as so much gets lost visually but on the other hand the modelling doesn't need to be outstanding to create the illusion of life going on in the buildings.

The work may look shoddy but it occupied a few hours away from the TV.
They will all improve when I get around to adding lighting.

Rialto Cinema

I don't know if American cinemas in the thirties had Commissionaires but we did here until the fifties and I found this figure on the right who is perfect.
