Some of you know from my post about my Dad that he makes things using match sticks..

When I showed him my track and asked him to build something for it, he was more than happy to oblige.

This post will chronicle his build up of the main building on the front stretch at Lime Rock Park in CT.

When completed, it will be 34 inches long (without the stairs), and 14.5 inches tall.

I'll post updates as I get them from my Dad.. I can't wait to see how it all comes out, he's amazing at this stuff~


The subject matter:




Update 1: The floor to the main building that will sit on posts.. and the right hand walls.





on the left and across the back you can see the narrower spacing to the wood.. those areas are covered by the roof but are not 'within' the main building..
the left is a covered observation deck and across the back is a covered walkway that goes over to where the stairs are..

Wow, just a great effort.

That is going to be way Cool.

Very amazing!!

Do you have any idea of the time he has invested thus far?

Would be interesting to keep track of this thru the build.

Very nice thus far!

Your Dad is pretty clever, that is looking awesome.

Impressive so far!

This is going to be epic.

:music-rockout: More plz.

Absolutely great so far. Once you install this on your track make sure you put up Large, Strong barriers to protect it from flying slot cars! :scared-eek:

Thanks everyone.. I am so glad my Dad is excited about this project..

For the last couple days he's been drawing plans and printing templates to construct on..

Here's todays update, some more of the walls are glued up..

That is awesome Kevin, this will look great on the new track!

Time for a quick update..

Dad has spent a few days drawing up plans and printing them as assembly templates..

Here's what he has put together for the remaining walls on the first floor.






Tomorrow he plans to assemble them all.. Will post pics when he sends them along~

That's going to be spectacular.

A true craftsman! That is going to be a nice piece!
