John Pitt's latest REA building

John sent some photos of his latest REA building (number 3?).  Close-ups of the dock detailing for now, I'll have to get some of the full building... It's hot.

I love John's work...especially the concrete. If you can ever find pictures of
a modern, concrete highway overpass that he did...it's truly amazing. I
can't remember where I saw it but I think it was MTW. One of the best!!

Does anyone even go to MTW anymore?  I laughed when they started asking for money...

Here's the overpass:

Several sites offer a value for the cost of subscription, MTW is not one of them.

Anyway, back to John's modeling:

Let me rephrase the question .. why do they charge - to limit participation?   Novel idea

Probably someone lost a job and/or figured the forum could be a money maker for them... I doubt that it was meant to limit participation.  The main group there, since inception, has been trying to break free as the next Mellow-Mike, coming up with new techniques just to have new techniques, trying to sell their work for big money, etc.  Don't know if it's still like that, but they do say on the home page that if you join you can freely advertise your ebay sales, so I'm guessing it hasn't changed much.

That is some d*mn fine work.  Does he write up his techniques on MTW, or anywhere else?

Anyway, back to John's modeling:


Thats what I was looking for. More shots of the other platforms he did for that kit as well. His Pella building was the inspiration for my Walthers Pella that I built.
