Thank you Zathros, I share most of what I do, and I like to show every possible step of what I do; hoping that by showing all the steps, even two headded monster projects like this one can seem more possible. from looking at the dates on the posts, I have been working on this project, off and on, for over two years now.
I try to share all of the steps, because a lot of people have taught me a lot of tricks; and I want to share those tricks, and a few I have read about. It seems our trafic has fallen off; but this format is easier to use tha others I have seen; so I stubornly post all my stuff here, hoping folks will find it, enjoy it, and either leard something, or be encouraged to try something.
I carried the station to the club, to test it in place with the new roof. the brightly painted white ceiling helps magnify the lighting effect from the LED lighting strips, and as I hoped, the skylights look impressive. the two closest to the tower have the Grant line window castings in them and look really good. I took this photo without the flash. this empasizes the LED lighting, but hides some of the stone detail.
from a stricly scale point of view, I have too much irregularity in the stone work, and too much reilf in the stone walls, but artisticly it works. I have the stone work essentially done everywhere but the back side of the tower, which does not show in this setting. I will complete it anyway, a signature structure like this, hopefully will out survive it's current location, so one must provide for the possibility it may be viewed from a different angle later. that sone work is easily matched right now, but if material availability changes, it may be a bigger challenge later.
