Following along, everything looks fantastic.
Where did you learn how to do all of these great detailed projects?

Short answer is that I've been building things for layouts for almost 10 years... I started with zero (and I mean ZERO) skill at it and gradually refined my techniques. I still can't hold a candle to a lot of the folks on this forum - but its a stress reliever for me and something to keep me occupied on rainy days. I've also learned a lot about modelling techniques - and borrowed ideas - from the guys over at AGHR (thanks for letting me experiment on the club layout!), youtube, pinterest, Bob Ross, and (of course) various posts on forums.

Peter - Thanks! ...but I can't take credit for the IHC-cutdown. I bought those buildings, already built, from a fellow forumite over 5 years ago. I love how the reduced depth makes the buildings much more practical for a layout.
