Three More for the Ceresco & Wolf River

 The Wet Whistle Tavern and the tinshop will be part of the back scene at Scots' Landing -- a somewhat run down commercial street climbing the bluff. They are paper models, scratch built from photos. I don't have a spot for the produce co. yet. That is also a paper model scratch built from plans.

All three are HO scale (1/87) and built with texture papers from Clever Models, Paper Creek, and ScaleScences, and windows & doors from my digital parts box. The sheet-metal roof on the tinshop came from The Texture Library (texturelib.com).

The tinshop was a limited edition O-scale kit from Stoney Creek Designs in 2018. I scanned a photo from their ad in Narrow Gauge & Shortline Gazette to make mine in HO scale. The Wet Whistle was a 3D digital model from (I think) Turbosquid. L.Baker Produce is a FOS Scale Models kit.

One of the advantages of paper models is the ability to use photos, scans, and screen captures of real buildings and models -- plus Photoshop -- to create my own scratch-built models.
