Downtown Deco Overlook Hotel Hydrocal Kit Build in HO Scale 

Great video. I am giving these type of buildings a shot in N scale. Wish me luck!

The onscreen instructions are a great way to display.

Great music and nice tutorial on building Downtown Deco kit ... could you building Luci's Tattoo (if you haven't already)?

I want to try building a "Downtown Deco" kit as they look really cool. I've built Tichy flatcar kits, Walthers kits and scratch built my own buildings as well as 3 card stock models. After fitting the windows and doors I would airbrush them before assembly. I just purchased a brand new A-proxo knife set. I never use X-acto knives as nothing is ever exact, only approximate. I also make my own rust powder out of 0000 steel wool soaked in vinegar. Cheers from eastern TN

@asd asx Where did you find the little carpenters square. I would love to have one like that!!

Lovely work, but if I may suggest, streaks of wash from the years of being rained on...

I can’t stand Hydrocal models…they are too fragile and don’t even come close to wood models…to me ..,they are a solution…looking for a problem..

Very atmospheric! It has tempted me to have a go at this kit.

I've always dreamed about Downtown Deco kits but never been able to pull the trigger on it.

Very impressive. Well done, but what about interior lighting and people?

Very good job on this one. Thanks for making this very informative video. 👍

I appreciate the video, always like to see a preview if kits. Maybe next time don't show us the unwrapping. I almost turned it off at that point.

Did I miss thickness/size of L beam you used for bracing. Thanks, informative build. Working on my first downtown deco hydro cal, first time bar. Second one is Lou’s Liquor store.

Haha, Overlook Hotel, J. Torrance!

yours came out quite nicely. I've been kind of frustrated with hydrocal. I appreciate all your tips.

Wonderful kit. Wonderful music.

Do you build for others?

Thanks again for reply

Thank you :)
