If you can't get the Rev/Mono one, this is even better!

OK that looks freakishly similar to my scratchbuilt effort of a couple of months ago.

Even has the brick lower section and chalkboard. Hmmmmmmmm. LOL

As this was made out of my imagination this kit should be correctly called the Kleskun Hills Stewards Tower.

0 points for originality, but full marks on the execution of this laser cut wood kit. It looks very nice.

That has to be a copy... or did you put one on Ebay?

The guy selling is on Slot Forum. He designed it in cad and laser cut it. Similar, but not a copy. I could say that about anything.

Makes no difference to me. Slot cars are a hobby to me and I have no intention of turning into a business. No better way to wreck a hobby then turn it into a business. The guy has done a nice job and I had zero intention of doing anything with this, but it is a copy. No structure like this exists anywhere and I built this with no plans or prototypes and to have this just pop up with such similarity to the one I scratchbuilt out of my imagination is too much of a coincidence don't you think.

Windows frames, general relationships between the width and height,, roof structure, brick lower section and the chalkboard are just too similar.
