what eye candy!...sure would like to see a closeup of the "skyscrapers"...the tall, multi-window ones...i have NEVER seen anything like them...has anyone else?...howard...

ps...picture reminds me of karl fey's sales booth at a model train show in york, pennsylvania a few years back...

Thanks for sharing. The skyscrapers are incredible!! Does anyone out there have one??

This photo came to us courtesy of the Golden Glow FB page--it in turn came from the JAPAN TIMES. So I checked into them and they have an archive--paid--you know it never occurred to me to use this as a source for info on our houses--but now it does...so as soon as I check out what the subscription rate is--or maybe limited access to their archives, I'm going to sign up if it is not cost prohibitive.

Thanks for sharing, pretty cool!

greetings to all...

here's my drawing of what could be done based on a similar (but smaller) house known to exist...see the photo...

it would be a very impressive skyline building...but old howard is probably not going to build one...

again...this is just a starting place...so many trim options...so many windows to cut...

my very best regards...howard.../

Maria, step away from the Xacto knife.

Hmmmm, interesting.... Shall I? (With a wry grin... )

I wouldn't even try! LOL!!!!!

Wow Howard I did a sketch of my own but mine is based on the Flatiron Clock house's horizontal bands and punched windows.
But there is a second skyscraper building on the right side of the photo.
Attached is my sketch of the two without dimensions yet. I need to find my pattern for the Flatiron building to get the right proportions.
Is anyone going to tackle this, or these, project(s)?
