Thanks for the kind words.<br /><br />Beverly, most of the details are scratch built. I'll try to get a photo tutorial up on my website soon. <br /><br />The lamps are simply straight pins that I bent over with a pair of needle-nosed pliers. Then I cut off half of the plastic ball to make the lamp shade. The metal that shows gives the impression of a reflector.<br /><br />I make the tires by cutting styrene tubing with a craft knife. I use a sort of rolling motion to cut through. This keeps the tube from becoming compressed into an oval.<br /><br />The hoist is completely scratch built. I used a dowel to make the base and the cable drum. Using variously sized hole punches, I cut out circles to make gears. The counter weight is just a bit of balsa. The hook is a bit of brass wire curved to shape.<br /><br />The staircase and railings are laser cut and will be available on my website by the start of next week.<br /><br />Cheers,

Having lived a block from the water for 22 years I must say you have captured the essence. All these building are very nicely done. I think I see the seagulls overhead.<br />Great job, Michael.
