My newstand project made it into the new RMC.  Don't tell anyone, but it took more than an evening.



More photos and some they didn't use:

Avoid the squid.
American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothing behind

So is this like a one night stand? :facepalm:
Looks awesome, and I bet it took a more long-term involvement...

Doug, I really like the way you modeled the street and curbing/sidewalk.
 Bravo.

When I tried to submit an article like that to Kalmbach a while ago it was rejected because of the commercial signage - particularly the "Coke' sign, that they said they couldn't run in a magazine for copyright issues.    I'm glad RMC took this one.

This is some of the best urban modeling I've ever seen in N scale.   It is a rare talent who can build a model and have it shown 4 times real size in a national magazine. I still feel certain I've had lunch in the diner next door.  Or at least a Coke on a hot summer day.

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

Thanks for the comments.  After seeing what DKS was doing, N scale magazines didn't seem so crazy.
