Penn Station

My model of Penn Station Baltimore is under way.  Have cast 30 columns for the station and 6 double size columns for the four corners.    Presently casting 21 window units for the two ends and the back side of the building.  Then I need 36 window units for the concourse that is along the back of the station and also across the tracks.  I build my masters out of styrene, then make a RTV rubber mold, and then cast using two part resins.  The rest of the building will be built from styrene and wood.  Really big project as it will be an 80% model and almost six feet long.  Hope to get some pictures on the blog soon showing the various castings.  Also need to cast some brick sidewalk to build the station platforms which were brick in the 50s based on some photos I have seen.
