Compitition building maynot be your thing ,but your work doesn't suffer for it.

Bob, I'm sure that you're right. I noticed at that gathering that the 'locals' chose the Moxie over the national brand that was available.

Got the roof on the structure. Of course I still have to streak and weather it and cut in the chimney. That will come later, I do not know exactly where I want the chimney until I work on the interior. Actually the roof is removable right now. I want to add the front door and glaze the show window but I am waiting for a part for an old computer. I use my ALPS printer to print white graphics for the window but the computer I use for the ALPS died. Just another thing to work around. I soon will be stopping model work on this structure so that I can research vintage details for the interior, and than make them.

S.W.ZIMMERMAN is the barber.

I printed the colored lines on the computer on reguler paper, rolled it up, and inserted the roll inro a clear plastic tube (a piece of the tube that comes on a new paint brush). Turned two end caps from resin rod. The plan was to paint the end caps silver, insert the GOW bulb into the tube and glue the caps on. Here's how it looks mounted on the structure. I also got around to making a door.

Country: USA | Posts: 827 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/08/2012 :  07:38:20 AM     Ray, I did the graphics in a simple DeskTop Publisher, Printmaster. I have an ALPS printer that can print in white so I used it to print the sign onto clear overhead slide projector material. You can find the same material to be used with either a laser or inkjet printer but they will not print white. I have in the past also printed signs on clear decal paper and applied that to clear plastic window material. If you need a window graphic printed in white contact me off forum at santmin@aol.com Cheers, Bob http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30102&whichpage=1 http://www.freewebs.com/santmod/ Country: USA | Posts: 1184 dallas_m Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/08/2012 :  08:01:10 AM   Lookin' real good there, Bob ... and the barber pole certainly makes it official! My namesake grandfather was a barber ... my dad has one of his old tin Wildroot signs. Country: USA | Posts: 3014 Mike Hamer Engineer Posted - 01/08/2012 :  08:52:09 AM     Bob, I love your strategy for making that Barber pole. I have a barber shop built already and I may have to go back and use your technique for the pole. Great looking structure!

Dallas, I have a collection of signs that I downloaded from the web, several are Wildroot. There's even a great one with Fearless Fosdick and Wildroot. How many remember Fearless Fosdick?? There are still many details that I want to add to the outside of the structure but I have started working on the interior. I made and installed a back door and I'm working now on the sink/counter/mirror unit for the back wall.

Think I would be afraid to getting my hair cut here though. Mr. Zimmerman the Barber might only cut the hair on the sides that you see from his nice front window. A trick that he learned from you Bob. Greg Shinnie Country: Canada | Posts: 3723 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/08/2012 :  4:05:52 PM     Thanks Bruce, Greg - HA HA HA HA HA HA HA got a little work done on the sink/cabinet/mirror unit. Lots to do yet. Like the storefront and the brickwork, I had no idea where I was going with this, just kept adding styrene scrap strips. whill have to add more romorrow. The mirror goes in that hole.

I'm making the small stuff, sissors, combs, clippers, razors, etc. but I thought I'd show you how it stand right now.
