I’m in a progress of building the skycraper model, using cheep equipments such as thick paper, arcrylic plastic sheets and improtant thing is the laminate cutter.
This is my first attempt to build all the skyscrapers model.
the 1st picture is actually the speaker covered , i’ve found them in the market in thailand where you can find mostly electronic parts and it costs around 1 dollar ( about 30-35 Thai baht ) the white skyscarper unfinised but i’ve alrady done the spray with flat white color, plastic sheet for glass will be added later.
The other one using all arcrylic plastic sheets with brown and white color.
I would say that it is fun to do that,something that you see when you walk down the place like any shops could be part of your model .
Sometimes the felt pads or self-stick rubber pads can be modefied to part of the building,too.
Hope you will like this idea…
And i will make them a lot for my layout in nearly future.
Your skyscraper buildings look really cool! And a great use of odd plastic materials to make them from. Be sure to post more of your models when completed.
Neat, all you need to do now is stick a small compact fluorescent light tube, the kind for under cabinet or soffit installation inside each and instant city-at-night lighting!
WOW!!! They are looking great, and how cool to use something most would not even think about. HOW COOL IS THIS HOBBY. IF WE CAN THINK IT WE CAN MAKE IT
Thank you for your compliments, this is the latest ones i added. Still unfinished some of the decorations, but i will set them as a backdrop and some will be shown infront .
These are all N Scale models, so i still can build more of them within my space. And the question is ( in America Is there any railways passing by or close to the modern city ? ) because in my layout is set to have an old time and the present , mostly i’ve seen all pictures those trains are running inside an old city but never seen one like passing by the busy city like many skyscraper buildings surrounded. Sorry i’ve never been to your country. lol
My imagination is to have the railroads and face to the modern city, so i can manage to put them with in my space. ( around my bed room )
I will start my layout as soon as all my buildings will be done.
Yes, it is common to have trains run through large/medium cities here.
N.Y. City has passenger terminals under some of it’s sky scrapers. In large cities the trains are commonly electric to cut down on city pollution. Columbus Ohio has a multi track diesel freight line running under and through parts of the city.
