Any interest in a structure-building class?

[toenailridgesl]

Ladies & gents,
I have in mind to build this structure from scratch-

If anyone is interested I'll document my construction of it as a scratch-building class similar to what we did with the box-car http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19846
and ore-car
http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18539
The building will be in 1:20.3 scale but conversion to any other scale isn't rocket science.
Let me know your thoughts. Any interest?

Phil,
Yes I would be very interested in a structure building class. Your work is great.

Would be fun. Just list the supplies to buy because I have like 0 right now and I am working on weathering several box cars.
But yes, think it would be a change.

Yes!

I'm beginning to think my layout is just an excuse to build buildings and bridges. Other than a few Pola buildings to get the layout started, I've been working with wood. I think I've got the basics but really want to expand my skill set.

Besides, I need a store for my town.

Phil Love to watch and learn and build. I don't always build during the class but the knowledge learned is wonderful. My biggest challange is working with little pieces verses the life size stuff I work with every day.

OK blokes.
I've made up a rudimentary drawing of the front. (Not to scale)

Print it out and we'll start talking about materials

John,did you click on the pic? It makes it much bigger. Or open up the link to the direct pic page and print it out from there.
1 inch =25.4mm, 25mm is close enough.
in 1:20.3 scale 1 scale foot = 15mm exactly.
in 1:22.5 scale 1 scale foot = 13.5mm
in 1:24 scale 1 scale foot = 12mm
in 1:29 scale 1 scale foot = so close to 10mm that it doesn't matter.
Or just go buy a cheap metric ruler :)
