Very Impressive. I am tempted to drop out of this because I am not in the same league as you. Only joking, I need the experience.

Yeah right. I have done a grand total of 2 scratch builds in my whole life, you are the pro. This is like a kindergarten student against a college professor. I know we aren't the only 2 in this competition.

awesome work 88!! I love that handicapped ramp you made, thats so neat and it looks great!! The interior details are going to really add alot of life to the structure too!!
Cant wait to see it completed 
Re: 88FANS Scratchbuild '09 Challenge - eightyeightfan1 - 06-26-2009
Thanks guys.
And thanks Lester for the "Pro" accolades. But I'm no where near that status. If you consider yourself a "kindergardener", as a scratchbuilder...I'm a first grader...Thats stayed back a year.
Anyway,here's whats been done tonight.
Painted the platform Testors "sand".
Cut and fit railings for the stair case. Painted them silver.
Cut and fit "picket fence", to the platform and handicap ramp.
Added some more temporary details, a bench, garbage can, and some commuters. The Horizon coach is sitting on a piece of Bachmann EZ Track, which is approximatly the same hieght of Code 100 on cork. You can see I already painted the trim and window frames.
With the station on the base....I'm pumped!

Thanks guys.
Haven't done anything to it in a couple of days.
More time for you all to catch up.
Re: 88FANS Scratchbuild '09 Challenge - eightyeightfan1 - 07-06-2009
OK...Did some more today.
Added trim boards to the eaves. Made them extra long to trim back later.
Put the roof together, added vents for the bathrooms, painted roof and weathered.

Some "test" final assembly. Still needs more painting, details added.
Also made a sign. This is what it'll look like when I finish detail painting and add detail. This will go on last.
