Last Chance Gas in HO Scale

[@RobertBohnen]

Thanks, Dave. I like it. When I get caught up with some of my other projects, I'll be starting back up on my N-Gauge layout of downtown Kingman. I want to model as many old buildings as I can, including gas stations. Your model looks much better than the other commercially available kits, and a lot more detailed.

What do I like best about your videos, Dave? I’m not sure if it’s the amazing content...or the perfect Disney-esque narration.

Thank you!

What about his attention to detail??

The gas station came out awesome. You did a great job putting it together and painting it. It looks really good alone but I'm not sure if the stucco texture isn't overdone for ho scale. Saying that the pictures are very close and I'm not seeing it with other ho scale buildings, figures, cars and etc. so I might be completely wrong just looking at the video not seeing it in my hand. Like I said it looks awesome so it might be scaled perfectly. Great video. Stay well. -Wil 👍

It's hard to get stucco scaled down. The more I look at it the better it looks. I'm still on the fence just not leaning as heavily against the stucco the more I see it. Please don't take offense to your modeling skills I'm not trying to bash you at all because I think you do wonderful work. I'm just giving my opinion which is just a talking point not an attack. I hate to have to say that but these days they'll be plenty of commentors and possibly the video creator thinking I'm being negative when I'm not. I gave my opinion because I want your opinion of the stucco because of the product you used to make it. Wondering how you feel about the product if it does a good job representing the stucco or not and do you think the way it was applied may make it look too heavy and could be tweaked to reduce the texture some more? Do you think if reducing the texture more would make the stucco not have a stucco appearance and it's one of those things in modeling that has to be a little overdone to make it represent the look correctly and not scale? I'm guessing you're happy with it or you'd stated that in the video but is it like I said the old give and take situation we often find ourselves in while scale modeling? Thanks in advance if you reply and especially for sharing you talents. 👍

This looks like a great kit. Thanks for showing your construction methods.

That's very cool. How did you put the Route 66 signs on the road?
