Hilltowne Hotel

Currently working on the Hilltowne Hotel, which I will rename....as soon as I come up with a new name. Ideas?

Progress is slow, this is a big building with a lot of small details. It's not as big as the factory of course, but it has a lot of small details that should be different colors than the surrounding stone and brick.

As such, I present it as a Work in Progress:





Update, January 2011: I stripped the brown paint from the front, didn't think that was the look I was going for. Also removed the rooms from inside (except the lobby) as they didn't quite "work" for me. Removed some of the window for glazing issues with the superglue. Removed the back wall so that I could get at the interior better and add windows (which I really should do before assembling the walls), as well as sand the inside edge of one wall to make it fit more flush against the side wall.

Uncle Eric's Hobby Shop Renovations

Decided that the front facade needed painting. 

 Then I noticed some leaks in the roof and decided to have it redone. Whose bright idea was it to have flat roofs in Maine, anyway?


Did I not post this building after it was done? Whoops.

In any case, I believe that it is DPM kit "Char's Soda Shoppe."

Can you see the Bachmann, Walthers, and Atlas signs in the window?
