Guys, check out this reproduction tinplate display layout. As of this writing, it hadn't been completed yet, but it should be done soon. Gorgeous!

I wonder if this is one of those displays that is advertised in CTT. They are pretty expensive (to me) but very nicely done.

I just tracked down the original post. Amazingly, this display layout is being shipped to a hobby store only 20 minutes from my home. I'll have to go see it.
