It’s a milestone of sorts, the last major structure on The Downtown Spur, 2201 17th Avenue, is now a wrap. Although building the structure itself was fairly straightforward, the surrounding scratch-built palms, and back parking lot took some time.
Here’s the back parking lot. The biggest challenge was finding a finely detailed wrought iron fence. BLMA made a great one but those are gone for good. Ultimately I figured out a fairly challenging and tricky way to weave together a series of Tichy security bars. The dumpsters were made from photos.
I still have some bare spots on the layout and smaller projects but, at this point, the big stuff is now done. Fifteen years in the making, where does the time go?
