Missing Pictures

[MartyE]

I got the recent CTT and was interested in the Bank to Grand Central article but for me the article lacked photos. I would of liked to see the pieces, one cut and disassembled layed out and identified. A few more photos of the building in progress. Just my opinion that an fine article that was a few photos short of getting the point across.

I just re-read that article last night and thought the same thing. No photos of the sides being put together, no real inprogress shots other than the bank being disassembled.

Marty, Marty, Marty,

If they told you everything in one issue - they wouldn't be able to force you to buy part II!

I don't know anything about the story, I think Kent edited that and he's out of the office. He'll be back Wednesday, I'll ask him to make some comments on it.

Thanks Overlord...

I just felt some more pictures would of beeb benificial to the article and those constructing the kit.

Hi Guys -- Thanks for the feedback regarding the GRAND STATION story. While most of our how-to stories do feature photo-oriented instructions, there are still some stories where we the author just isn't able to capture/supply those as he goes -- such is the case here.
Richard Van De Kieft is a superb architect (also see his previous CTT stories) who can provide clear, written instructions, but leaves the photography to others. Even though Richard didn't provide step-by-step photos, I was able to snap images of the disassembly process using the one bank I own.
Glad to hear you guys are excited by this kind of story -- we'll keep doing our best to encourage contributors to shoot as many instructional photos as possible.

P.s. If you liked Richard's Grand Station, be sure to see the CTT online bonus story ("Improve your layout") that shows want he did with the "extra" parts.

Kent, Bob,

I can't speak for eveyone, but I really do enjoy these types of stories. I'm looking forward to the upcoming issue mostly because of the Plasticville detailing articles. So many people just plop structures on their layout, when with a little paint, glue and imagination, they could make them look amazing.
