OR...the monochromatic side could be Kansas in the 30's....and the Technicolor side could be an imaginary land with flying monkeys!!!....The ballast there would be bright yellow!!

There's no possible way David could ever do that.

Yeah...  David modeling Kansas.  Unthinkable...

[peteski]

DKS couldn't possibly accomplish that!

Yikes, I hope I can live up to your expectations! Especially when being compared to the likes of John Allen...

You already have, multiple times. 
Speaking for myself, you are the John Allen of my generation.

Gotta say +1 on this one.  I always really enjoy your stuff (though I did live in Jersey, so that could explain it...).

Do the boring thing. Seriously, let the execution be the outstanding feature and model the mundane.

+1.  I like the juxtaposition.  Architectural beauty is in the execution, not necessarily the design.

I second that motion.

Great point.

I love mundane.  The more mundane the better.  Honestly, the world around us is mundane.

Case in point, if you were modeling present day you'd score a lot more points with a Walmart than with some whackadoodle ramshackle board-built industry that looks like it belongs on the set of the Popeye movie.

I should think a DPM city done with DKS' usual talent for exquisitely nailing the mundane would quickly look less like DPM and more like the real thing.

Yes.  If you're striving for the flavor of the prototype, and that flavor is plain vanilla, then you'd be foolish to add a bunch of butter pecan.  Although, a bit of Tin Roof might be appropriate in this case...

Dammit.  Now I'm hungry.

Just read the blog post Re: the corner buildings, why not model them abandoned? dirt is the same regardless of era.
