Outstanding work, lots of great ideas. For what it’s worth, when it comes to acetate for windows, I’ve been collecting that annoying “military grade” anti theft plastic that everything seems to be packaged in these days. Might find a use for it.
Thanks, I appreciate it. Yep, you can find useful window glass in lots of places. I have a folder of different clear materials, mostly scraps and other salvaged items, plus some actual "window material" that I ended up with somehow. I usually use whatever's on top of the pile that fits. 😀
@@CassidysWorkshopDid I understand correctly that you use dry pigment powder, brush it into the mortar lines and then apply water? I would love to try this technique.
@@jimjohnston7688 That's right, it's one of a few techniques for putting mortar in bricks. Here's the video by Brett Wiley showing it better, the pigment-for-mortar part starts a bit after 8 minutes. ruclips.net/video/JFnpvykISZs/видео.htmlsi=_uzcb_x0PQnTxLoS
I had considered this model or my own layout but like you had forst said it looks to European. I am glad you were able to modify it. I went with a different model as i was not sure I how to give is a more American look. Great job.
Thanks so much, Chris. As Richard Wissbaum pointed out below, much of the industrial region was settled by European immigrants, so having some Euro flare wouldn't be all bad. But eliminating most of the fancy touches helped a lot in Americanizing it. PS, just subbed, I like what you're building there. 👍
Fantastic job, Greg. Keep in mind, many of the workmen who built a structure like this in turn-of-the-century Pittsburgh may have been immigrants from Europe, so a little European flavor is not at all out of place.
Great Job, Greg. Learned a few new tip too. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Thanks, Todd. That's my hope is that something I picked up or thought of I can pass on.

Nice job!
Thank you, Darren.
Great job!,
Thank you, Dave.
That warping is caused by plastic "memory " It remembers it was once a ball. Happy modeling.😊
Ha, thanks. Same to you.

@CassidysWorkshop Thank you.
That turned out really nice! And that McKeesport club is SW of me, up the Mon river.
Thanks, Paul. Have you been there, nice building they have.
@@CassidysWorkshop Not yet. Met some of them at a show last year, but haven't made the trek from north-side to south-east side yet.
Nice job Greg.
@@garychestnut6380 Thank you so much, Gary.

Thank you, Dick. You're right, and you can see that in much of the architecture of the buildings in Eastern states. Thanks for the reminder.👍
