where can i get doors, windows ect (like those found in the pikestuff kits) so i can scratchbuild some factories and warehouses? Paulf
Grandt line has great stuff - i'm doing a bunch of their windows at this moment for La Posada. What they don't have is modern windows that look like vynl or aluminum style; one-over-one pane type. When I did the Flag Chamber of Commerce building, I tried piecing modern windows out of Evergreen .010 and .020 plastic strip and it actually worked well. I just glue pieces inside the rough opening one at a time. There was an article in MR about this and I tried in in N. Anyway, if you have lots of muntins and panes, this won't work, but if you're looking for over & under modern windows, and plate glass display windows, this really works well. Odd sizes, too, which this one had in abundance. http://gustafson.home.westpa.net/Flag_COC_628%20left%20side.jpg http://gustafson.home.westpa.net/Flag_COC_628%20right%20side.jpg
I love Grandt line, but they can be hard to find at times. If you order direct from them, it will take a while. Try this place: www.tichytraingroup.com click N scale
Take a look also at the Bar Mills "1-Kit" which has laser-cut siding, wood frame windows and doors, acetate for the windows. How many of each is probably on their website. You may balk at the price (I did originally), but there's a lot of windows in there. There is also Ngineering's etched metal window frames and grates fret. Picture on the woo woo woo woo woo woo website. [ 12. August 2004, 09:07: Message edited by: steamghost ]
