Started to get into this one, got the floors cut from 1/8th inch plexiglass, and the lighting ready. This will be kindof a up scale build for the neighborhood. The kit is a Smalltown USA kit.   This is with 2 lights in it, I have it set for 3. Now it will be time to start the interior work for the art exhibit. Thinking of featuring art work of Ed Roth. The second floor will probably be artists studio's. This leaves all sorts of possibilities for things to look at. |

Made some more progress on this one again. Got the main walls in on the first floor, and got the second floor glued in, and leveled.   Then I started thing the inde of the roof I keep forgetting to detail. So I cleaned up the sides,  and cut some brick shhet to do the inside of the walls.  Next it was onto the roof . I wanted something that wouldn't warp with time, so used another 1/8th piece of plexi-glass. It's actually level.  Had to retrim the back just a hair, and then will add a 1/2 round piece to the edge. Got to go to the LHS for more stock.  Finally tried out the lighting on the second floor, this is with only 2 bulbs, there will be 4-5 total when done.  On the second floor I will be doing smaller rooms, 1-2 just as a point of interest. I have a few thoughts floating around in my head, but open to suggestions. |

Just about done with the 2nd floor offices.   Gotta have music.  Also decided to do a lunch room. Under the cupboards is a microwave, and sink.  Still have a few odds, and ends to add yet. |

Just about got this one completed. Just have the roof to finish, and some small details on the building. Here are the shots though as done. Got the canopy up.  Window shades in stalled.  Whose that with the boss?  Back of the building shots.   Got the light fixtures done. Also looks like friends of Myron's have been by and tagged the building. this is a rough neighborhood for sure. And finally the name.  This will give you some idea for size of the letters.  |
