Discussion > My version of the Flagstop kit

Here is a link to my take on the Flagstop kit. I changed it a little to reflect my idea of a scale house/office at a large coal load-out.

That looks real good. I love when the kits get modified. I'll have to come up with an interior. seems more people are taking the time to open the windows.

Nice Rick. I like the addition, and the edge board that you put on its roof. I think the main structure needs the edge boards to look more 'correct' and I have thought about adding them on my model. I look forward to seeing your interior!

Rick,

I like your mods, especially efforts at adding an interior. I did not even try that on my TWO attempts (original and interlocking tower). I would suggest gluing everything to a second sheet of cardstock, thus doubling the thickness and preventing warpage. In some cases (the tower) the walls are actually three cardstock thicknesses thick, due to all the various cutting and pasting I was doing. The side benefit of all that is that warpage is kept to a minimum.

Here is an update on this model. I added a brick foundation and a full interior.
