I found some foam core poster board material being thrown out at work. Being part vulture, I scooped it up with intentions of using it some how on the layout. I decided to make an old factory building made of brick.
There is an old factory in St. Louis called the International Shoe Company that has really great brick work. I couldn’t find an image of the building as a whole, so I used google street view to capture some images of certain features. I then photoshopped the building facades together and printed them off.
With a small layout, the factory will also serve as a pass through tunnel. Goal was to cover this front corner on the upper level.
I cut and pasted the images onto the foam core board. Then I glued and taped the foam core images onto a cardboard box for support.
I added roof pieces then added a small top floor area to give it a little more character.
I will be adding some pink foam tunnels/base of the building.
Overall I was very happy with the result. $0 project that took a couple hours to build.
I like it! It actually turned out pretty cool!
