If Richard decides to reissue this entiely in plastic, I'll buy it in a heartbeat with no second thoughts or hesitation whatsoever about the purchase. That is most definitely the best vintage O gauge drug store I've ever seen. For me, offering it to us O gaugers is nothing short of an out of the park grand slam event!
Btw, without adding too significantly to the model's cost, could some of the tooling be modified to make assembly simpler? I'm thinking along the lines such as the cupola being molded in one entire section rather than it presently having separate panels requiring gluing them together for assembly..
