I've Been a Busy Boy!
Busy with Blog Posts, Recording YouTube Process Videos and Building out the Layout.
The Backesto Block building (pictured left) is being chronicled here on this blog, while the Watts Building (far right) is being featured in videos over on the Dan D. Sparks YouTube channel.
San Diego & Southeastern #107 rolls into a bustling downtown San Diego scene.
The full scene set up. Cobbling together what I had on hand, I was able to create a pretty nice scene. This shot was taken from the tripod at the front of the layout.
On the left is the Backesto Block, scratch-built using 3D printed parts. In the center is my Bank of Santa Monica model, originally built years ago as a kitbash of Walthers Merchant Row II—it fit the space perfectly, so back into service it went. On the right is the Walthers Ashmore Hotel, finished to resemble the Watts Building in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter.
Autos come from a variety of manufacturers.
A Little Whimsy. And for fun, there’s a couple dashing across the boulevard—actually a dancing pair of figures from Preiser!
So yes… lots of entertainment coming from ol’ Dan D Sparks.
Yes sir~ lots of entertainment!
