I always liked these MTH buildings and got one last week. This is just about done and was repainted and detailed to be a sort of generic street level warehouse business. I reworked the front a bit for dual roll up doors and added some extra detail here and there.

Thx you guys, I should go work on my layout now but these Hamm’s are going down kinda nice after I cleaned up my shop. Haha.
As always, very nice Norm.
Norm,
Great work, as usual. Thanks for the detailed pictures.
What MTH building was it originally?

Fantastic Norm. You really know how to work your magic.
Wow Norm,
What a transformation!
Thx guys. Here’s what I started with:
Norm, fantastic job on transforming the MTH building. Love your style of just the right amount of grime 
Your ability to envision and transform is second to none. All I can say again is wow!
Thx again guys, here’s the inspiration for the service entrance wiring - this is the YWCA in Knoxville (cool town!):
Beautiful work Norm. I echo all the previous excellent comments. The Hamm's looks good too. It was my favorite when we lived in Albert Lea, Minnesota in the early 60's. Still is!
Aha! We have finally found out the key to your modeling success...Hamms!!!
I just ran out and bought several cases for myself. I expect to be turning out amazing looking finely detailed o scale buildings in about 12 Hamm’s.
Well Done... Bravo!!!
Beautiful work Norm
Norm did the fire escapes come with the building or are they an add on? I like their 'beefiness' for shipping purposes.

What did you use for the Service wiring insulators mounted on the side of the building?
Joe, those are the stock MTH fire escapes. PHC, those are old Kiel Line parts.
Thx for the kind words on my basement beer choice - they are 50 cents a pop here in MI, and they taste pretty good!
Very nice. I really like the brick color and the weathering. May I ask what color or color combo you used for the brick? Your models set a high bar.
