At this stage in my modeling, virtually all I do is scratch build. Not only do I get the satisfaction of the creativity but, can get one-off buildings that are unique to my layout. The Green Dragon and Burlesque Review structures are my O scale versions of the beautiful HO designs by Doug Foscale of Foscale Limited, which other than about six kits, does all his buildings in HO. I "scaled them up" to what looked good to my eye and built them from scratch. The apartment tenement is my scratch built version of a Walther's HO kit but, in clapboard rather than brick facing. The Phillips Garage and Tobacco buildings are also scratch built but, from my own imagination.
