The Great Scaper: Kitbashed N Scale City Structures

Some time ago, I stumbled upon the work of an N scale modeler who is building a complete 1:160 city — and quite well (and very quickly) I might add. His city is much more modern than I personally prefer, but he has a number of older-style kitbashed skyscrapers and plans to build several more appropriate for the 1940s. I’ve been following his modeling efforts over the last six months or so and thought I would share this with readers here.

He goes by the screen name, The Great Scaper (catchy) and he has popped up on some of the model railroading forums posting photos of his work. I’ve since been able to locate him on Flicker, where he has a number of photo sets dedicated to his modeling.

See a Printable Billboard from This Blog Built Up with a Nicely Done Frame

The author of the Rotating Coupler blog has done a fantastic job of turning my printable N scale billboards into a very realistic finished piece for his scratchbuilt Dominion Building.

I thought some of you would like to see how well these can work with a little plastic and paint added for framing.  Read the Rotating Coupler post, Let’s Build a Billboard Frame.

If any of you have photos showing your layout with something you’ve downloaded here at N Scale Modeling, send me links or the photos themselves and I share them with the readers here.  You may contact me at nscalemodeling@comcast.net.
