Article in MR About Building an NYC Tower from a DPM Kit
Posted by danmerkel on Monday, September 25, 2023 10:09 PM

I could use a little help here. Some time ago, MR had an article about a kitbash of a DPM building kit into a reasonable NYC tower. As mentioned previously, I'm kind of a tower nut plus I like to kitbash so am thinking about this one to add to my collection. Problem is I can't remember when the article was published.

If someone could specifically help me with the month/year I'd appreciate it very much. If you happen to remember which DPM kit was used, that would even be more helpful. I share all of my past MRs with a younger enthusiast so I don't have them for back issue reference. :(

Thank you in advance.

Alas, the article appeared in that "other" model railroad magazine.

The kit used is a Cutting's Scissonr model.

I don't need to read the article but I would be interested in seeing a picture of said building if anyone can post it.

If nobody has a picture to post can you give a better clue as to the identity of the other magazine?

January 2020 Railroad Model Craftsman, article is titled "Freelanced Tower for East Buffalo." There are no rules against stating facts in this forum.

Thank you.

That is what I had guessed but you need a subscription to read the article.  Since I am just curious as to how it looked I'll pass.
