You know it’s a funny thing. Some old school self proclaimed expert will come around and spout his wisdom about our paper models. “Well, I suppose its ok for background stuff, The 3 foot rule and all.” Then I’ll see the same guy bending over with his nose so close to my layout, that I’m worried about his beer gut getting the better of his balance and there goes a chunk of my hard work.
Three foot rule my shiny hiney. At Clever Models we work to a three INCH rule.
I was working on my layout, the one that travels around. I had a real rough “just the walls,no detail” version of our Mercantile. That’s the triangular one.
It fit so many different places. I could probably use four of them. I catch my self thinking “if only it were brick” Duuuuhhh, why not? So I spent the afternoon drinking coffee and created (or recreated) “Olsen’s Coffee, Importers and Roasters.” I have to say this is gonna be a winner. I’m going home to build it right now and I’ll post pix in a few days.
