We were messing around with adding the extra floors as well.<br /><br />What did you need to remove to add the extra floors? Just the little nibs that would normally "lock" into the section below it? Anything else need to be changed to interlock the 2 buildings?<br /><br />What tool did you use to cut out the window sections? I've tried cutting other buildings and ended up with a mess.<br /><br />Thanks- <br />Mike & NikMike & Niknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-34897618016875766572010-11-06T22:41:18.798-07:002010-11-06T22:41:18.798-07:00Thanks Pascal!Thanks Pascal!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454470373325096585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-65586731369303661272010-11-02T12:47:18.620-07:002010-11-02T12:47:18.620-07:00hello jerry ,

I think they're cool, and looks like they have clear plastic for windows! They do look like they'd be difficult to stack for more height though.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454470373325096585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-53763179407425911282010-11-01T17:26:35.912-07:002010-11-01T17:26:35.912-07:00Jerry, what do you think of this sectional buildin...Jerry, what do you think of this sectional building?<br /><br />http://cgi.ebay.com/Hospital-Type-B-Tomytec-1-150-N-scale-/200523526218?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item2eb022304a<br /><br />BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-26812555656314626712010-11-01T17:22:39.474-07:002010-11-01T17:22:39.474-07:00Hi Bob!

When I can abandon it all together I do, but as most of us know, some if the sidewalk sections also are molded with critical ground floor details! <br /><br />I don't plan on getting the other two right now. I've been out of space for new buildings for awhile, so something has to be better than what I've got to replace something else! This building is cool enough to make the grade, but haven't decided yet if I want to do more from this series! <br />As always, good to hear from you Bob! Hope you are well!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454470373325096585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-14692929650087943512010-11-01T17:17:29.336-07:002010-11-01T17:17:29.336-07:00Jerry thanks for this.

I'm going to get at least 2 of these maybe 3, to do pretty much the same build.<br /><br />What I've done in the past with some of the tomix buildings that have thicker sidewalks is either remove them and glue the building to sidewalk styrene from evergreen. Or I have kept the thicker sidewalk material and shaved it on the disk sander. The other thing I've done is cut away some of the size of the sidewalk and then glued it to styrene sidewalk again from evergreen. It creates a step up from the sidewalk into the office building. This is a common thing in modern office buildings.<br /><br />Anyways beyond my thoughts. I really appreciate this post. Are you going to do the other 2 buildings as well?<br /><br />Great work again, <br /><br />Your friend Bob..<br /><br />Oh your Kibri Building is on the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
