Hall/Bordello HO/HOn3 kit is finally here, and it is simply AMAZING!
FYI It did take us around three years to get around to it. The
design of this fantastic Craftsman kit much more like the
'original' 1979 version Thomas A Yorke Ent. did a number of
years ago, But that's almost where it ends. We have used Tom
Yorke 'original' hand-carved masters and created totally
new castings to replace all that wood and time-consuming
construction of the 2nd Floor Bordello, multi-pitched roofs, and
both front facades. And ,instead of just 10 or so castings,
there are now 27 LabStone high-quality castings, Precision Cut
Roofs, Glazing and Signs (the Baba O'Rileys Pool Hall sign is
like not other!), 4-Color Laser Signs and window glazing,
meticulous instructions and Options, lots of images, and
included in this kit is a copy of Doctor Ben's How-To #2: The
ABCs of Staining Castings booklet.
So,
for the few drooling in anticipation and the curious wondering
about the changes that we have in store, the first change is
obvious; an exterior stairway up to "Roxanne's" Bordello. Why
you ask? Well, the building has a new owner and rent paying
tenants are needed to pay the mortgage. The enclosed interior
stairwell that 'use' to allow patrons up to Roxanne's now heads
down to the basement where "Max's Barber Shop" now resides.
The
stairway is an old iron and concrete unit from another property
that the new owner had which mysteriously burned down a few
years back and managed to cobble it up to the stone wall up to
Roxanne's. Word has it that the tenant on the other side of the
stonewall ("The Iron Horse Saloon") wasn't too thrilled about
all the hammer drills used to attach the stairway to the wall.
It seems that all the vibrations caused more than one whiskey
bottle to hit the floor and sounding more like a shotgun going
off in the bar. All the half-drunk patrons (yes, during the day)
also hit the floor until the all clear was given that no one was
shooting in the bar; yet.
Want to know 'more' including
why this is such a terrific new kit? Just Ask! The Story is
continued in the 20-page Instruction Booklet. The Pilot Model (Foot
