ShadowNix,
Yeah, Brian Bollinger does some nice work with BEST. His products have been reviewed in RMC at least twice now (the other was a lighthouse on stilts, IIRC).

He started his company by making plans in CAD then sending them out for laser work. Apparently, he became the laser cutter’s No. 1 customer so much so that Brian then bought the laser cutter’s company. Included, much to Brian’s surprise, was Ambroid. Believe it or not, BEST now owns the old Ambroid line. Not that he’s got any stock to sell, but there’s rumors that he may convert some old Ambroid kits to laser cut kits (vastly improving them, IMHO).

As for pics of his shingles, take a look at his webpage. All his “demo” models were built with his shingles. http://www.besttrains.com/products_1000.html

What ? ? You mean you can actually BUY shingles?? C’mon, shingles are made from varying types of paper or sandpaper aren’t they?? or are you putting us on ??? Fine emery paper makes the best shingles.

Thanks, Paul… yeah, I saw a review of his Signal tower and it looked awesome (?RMC July 07), but I have never (before now!) visited the site… Cool! Like always, you guys are a great resource!
