This is the HO scale "Front Street Building" by Design Preservation Models, to which I added custom interiors and lighting to create a detective agency, beauty salon, fruit market and pharmacy, set in 1949. For more details on the process of making it, check out this blog post: thesmokycity.com/building-7/

What a fantastic interior. A lot of attention to the smallest details

Thanks! For me, identifying small details that I can model (within reason), is half the fun.

Your work is Awesome! I am VERY impressed. and inspired. I am currently rebuilding an old station model that use to be on my late fathers train layout he had built with me when I was a kid. That layout also is gone. and after going through boxes in the basement I found some things from it I had thought I would never see again and did not know my father had packed away. So am hoping to build a new layout also in the 1940's. and decided to start by rebuilding and detailing the interior of the station. and this just inspired me more.

I certainly want to compliment you on your excellent modeling work. I'm also curious why and how you selected Pittsburgh of that era. Your research of that era is also excellent as well. Do you live near Pittsburgh?

Outstanding attention to detail! I am just getting started on a book store interior in N scale so I have a LOT to learn. One thing I noticed is that the models are glossy. Is it possible to dull the sheen with a clear matte to make them look more realistic?

I'm not sure where you're seeing glossiness. It's all painted with flat acrylic paint, and the exterior is weathered with a flat coat, India ink and alcohol wash, and Pan Pastels. I guess one downside of using graphics printed on a laser printer for the floors and walls is that at certain angles, you can sometimes see a glare from the interior lights. Maybe an inkjet printer wouldn't have that issue since the ink soaks into the paper, whereas toner sits on top of the paper.
