Dear All,

It's been a while since I posted anything, since I have been getting ready for the convention in Hickory and my clinic there. As part of that clinic, I built a model of the Diamond Bar, the bar and brothel [although by the time it was abandoned, it was a gas station] in Como, Colorado, across the road from the DSP&P station.

I backdated my structure to look like what it might have looked like in its heyday as a bar and and establishement for the "fille de joie".

Coincidentally, it was also entered in an online cardstock modeling contest. Since it has now been published there, I figure I can show it to you.

Here's the back:

I won't show the "naughty side" but here's the other.

Here's a link to a photograph of the original Diamond Bar: http://www.rockymountainprofil...do/Como/p5270042.jpg

I'll be using my model, along with about 4 other structures to show what can be done with cardstock.

Greetings from the Narrow Gauge Convention in Hickory. I don't have the issue in front of me but have seen the ad before. Indeed, I am sure that is the same figure I used on the Diamond Bar (I doctored mine up a little). Those Arttista figures do get around.

Actually, Al, I used the Diamond Bar as one of three or four examples of cardstock models for the clinic I gave on using cardstock.  I entered a modified Biff's Auto Repair in the contest; finished out of the running.  However, during that week the Diamond Bar won first place in a cardstock modeling contest.  The prize is any structure of my choice being made into a cardstock model.  Clever Models is designing a model of my grandfather's service station (Pennsylvania, c.a. 1936).
