I have this sample painted but still need to get the laser cut doors/windows. I hope to have these 100% ready to ship in the next month or so. Feedback? (Keep in mind this is not the final, finished photo that will show on the box cover, rather, just a quikie in the driveway)

Thanks. I think once I get some signs on it it will really start to look good. Speaking of signs, does anyone know of a site that has copywrite free vintage Euro signs?

Maybe I'm too picky, it's very scenic but structurally nearly impossible. If you blow out the corner of an old house like this on the ground level, together with the support of the above level, the whole corner section is collapsing down. I have seen plenty of this on the photos taken during the street fights in Budapest during the 1956 uprising. (The insurgents tended to throw Molotov coctails from the upper windows to the Soviet tanks and APC-s driving on the streets below them. So the soviets - instead of fighting from room to room - simply shot out the ground level with high caliber guns and there were no more nest above to throw from.)

Nah, you're not too picky. I value honest feedback. The model is based on a photo of a building in Berlin near the end of the war. Now, whether it was barely hanging on is another matter!
I'd suggest adding a pillar at the corner if it looks too fragile. Cheers!

Thanks. My model train building is Downtown Deco. I was going to go by "Berlin45" but after thinking about it that might be too limiting, as I want to do Middle East stuff as well. I'm listing some of the intial test pieces on ebay now, will go with traditional distributors once I get all of the packaging done. Cheers.

I do not have a site up yet but hope to soon. I don't mind working w/ good distributors. They can get your product out to a much wider market. I'll sell direct as well, of course.
