I’m calling it about 95% finished, I have a few touch up and things to do I didn’t see until I took the pictures but no real big things so I’m going to go ahead and post it for sale.
This is a Hydrocal Building from Downtown Deco with a number of custom decals and hand painted graffiti in addition to decals graffiti, building is lit with 12VDC LED lighting and is ready to be wired into a layout or have a 9VDC battery added which I’ll include (loose) with purchase. Set in the 1970’s and 1980’s which tagging and graffiti was king, MAMMAW’S GARDEN and WINDGATE APARTMENTS … you notice Mammaw didn’t put up with kids tagging her building and painted over the graffiti and a few vines got out of hand in the back, the WINDGATE is a low rent Apartment on the wrong side of the tracks so graffiti pollutes the sides as the slumlord only care about the rent and was too cheap to buy a decent sign and just painted the name on the side. Few roof details and old water tank with A/C units and wiring and with window decals and silhouettes. Old dated advertising on the sides echo a forgot era.
PRICE is $375.00 plus S/H
NOTE there is a repaired crack in the left wall of Mammaw’s Garden I did that while doing the graffiti on the other side by not realizing I had it setting on a brush, so now the crack is part of the buildings history.
If you have questions ask!

NEW HO SCALE NEWSPAPER
OK I’m testing HO SCale newspapers and they are a pain to print without a lot of waste – but I’m still adjusting sizes and trying to get more variety but these early sets are available for $2.25 per set and they are a pain to print vellum and not screw it up.
I’ve mastered printing on vellum so I’ve lowered the price on these to $2.25 – I’m not wasting 2 sheets for every good one I get anymore.
Other scales will be available when I get time.
Feedback is appreciated …
NEW BIGGER 18 COLOR WEATHERING POWDER SETS ARE COMING!
OK did a little asking around and some folk would rather I have names for the weathering powder beyond their “technical name” – something like IRON OXIDE BLACK would be “SOOT, HEAVY GRIM” or IRON CHROMATE might be GRIM, ROAD DUST so I’ve been working on names of these powders but since they can be used on anything I’ve be reluctant to pigeon hole hole them with a specific name … believe it or not naming colors is harder than I thought.
These are all natural 99.7 pure pigment, not chalks, no fillers, not ground up pastels, pure earth pigments ground to 325 mesh.
