According
to Allen Goethe, owner of
Twin
Whistle Sign and Kit Company, "Here is our newest kit
and model. When we saw this building, we were attracted by
the clean lines and simplicity of the stonework. Then we saw
the plaques on the building, and I knew then that we would
be producing this model. I'd like to thank the
station personnel for photographing the plaques so that we
could properly acknowledge those men who have given their
all on behalf of their community.
There is a memorial plaque that deserves special mention. On
the plaque is a line from Walt Whitman's "Song of My Self".
It reads "They have cleared the beams away, they tenderly
lift me forth". I knew then that we would make this model.
So this model, 1/64th scale, has a resin facade, has
styrene
side and back walls, and there is a laser cut wooden
door. The door frame is laser cut and engraved alder wood,
and the plaques are laser cut
basswood. The door is
reversible. One side is the "old-fashioned" fold-up door and
the other side has a 3D painting similar to the present
door. The door can go up or down or can be removed
altogether. Accessories include an air conditioner, flag,
and a set of lockers.
The footprint is 11" L x 5" W. The building is 9 1/2" high
to the cornice, and is perfect those Code 3 vehicles. The
cost is $185 plus shipping or the kit can be purchased for
$69.95 plus shipping. Each kit and model is made in our
shop". |
